YEARLY BUSINESS MEETING
AND BANQUET OF CHURCH

The yearly business meeting and So
cial of the members of the Christian
church was held at the church. A large
grist of business was attended to, new
officers elected. a pleasing program
rendered and refreshments served In
the dining rooms at the close.
The reports rendered by the various
heads of departments were remarkable
and we'll worth hearing. The Christian
church had been breaking records for
advance each year. and again this year
far exceeded its own previous records.
During Mr. Sharp's ministry there
have been added to the church in
Hammond 927 members. OF this num-
Der 244 were added this year. The
largest number in any previous year
was $50.
The treasurers report was a revela
ton. The books showed that the
treasurer had handled during the year
$23,666.40. OF this amount $1,000 was
received from loans. leaving $14,166
actually raised in cash during the year.
This also did not include nearly $500
raised and expended by the choir, nor
an equal amount raised by the Sunday
school, nor several hundred dollars re-
ported on hand in the various de-
partment treasures. The total would
be nearly $4,000.
The yearly advance in receipts shows
remarkable growth. BY years the
treasurer's report is as follows;
1902, $500; 1903, $1,000; 1904. $1.227.
1905. s2,4e0; 1906, $4,000; 1907. ss,400;
1908. $4,000; 1909, $500; 1910, $15,ssO.
The ladies' societies showed over ST.

Cheer after cheer greeted each one of
these reports.
The Bible school showed an increase
of $50 in average regular attendance.

TOLENGTHEN
BROADWAY
BY 3 MILES

Broadway, which is the widest and
best lighted street in the west and In
diana's most imposing thoroughfare
and which is already six miles in
length, is to be made longer by nearly
three miles. This will leave it an
avenue with the Gary steel plant at its
northern terminus and Merrillville at
its projected southern extremity.
Ross township residents. headed by
Frank H. IIalfman and N. B. F'agen, are
securing petitions to have Broadway
extended from the southern Gary limits
to Merrillville. This is a distance of
some two and three quarter miles. The
necessary number of signatures have
almost been secured. and the rest will
be had IN a few days.
Want Eixhty-Foot Road.
The petitioners want the county
commissioners to make the proposed
extension an eight-foot gravel high
way Upper Broadway from the steel
plant to the Little Calumet river has a
width OF 100 feet and from the river
to Ridge road Is the same length. At
present Broadway terminates on what
is known the Knots road at the
city limits. and travellers for Merrill
VILE. Crown Point and points south
proceed in a westerly direction and
then turn south. With Broadway ex-
tended to Worthwhile, a very import
| ant highway will be opened to the
| center of the county. Running across
the county from Deep River. Through
Merrillville and through Dyer on the
west is what is known as the Joliet
road, which is a very much traversed
thoroughfare and a great favorite of
auto tourists. This county wide artery
would intersect Broadway at Merrill
Vile, and in consequence considerable
/ automobile traffic would be diverted to
! Gary.
Means Inferurban Advance.
: Ross township farmers believe that
| the extension of Gary's famous street
| to Merrillville will link the central
| part of the county close to the steel
| city. Probably most of Importance is
| the fact that it will mean interurban
service IN the very near future for this
district.

YOUR WEIGHT AND HEALTH
Better Be over the Average When
Young and Under When Old,
Say Insurance Men.

At the annual meeting Of the AS
ISOLATION of Life Insurance Directors
some facts we're brought out In re-
gard to the best build Of men and
women from the insurance mans
point of view
In the New York Life Insurance
company efforts have been going on
for many years to determine the ex-
act influence Of build on longevity,
says the Medical Record II is sug-
gested that a mistake has been made
In assuming that the average build
OF any age is the most favorable
build that that age or the build from
which Il may be expected the most
favorable mortality will be sustained.
For instance, figures show that at
the age of twenty all risks from "a
per cent overweight to 10 per cent.
underweight are better than average
risks. Does It not then seem prob
able that the point of most favorable
build Is about half way from "a per
cent. overweight to 10 per cent. under
weight. or In the neighborhood Of
7 per cent. overweight? If this in
ference is correct the tables now
used are too favorable to the under
weights by about per cent.
AT age sixty, on the other hand
the super-standard risks begin at about
8 per cent. overweight and extend to
about 20 per cent. underweight. The
mean point between these extremities
lies at about Z per cent underweight
and the conclusion appears evident
that the present table based on
average weights Is too high by about
Z per cent. At the intermediate ages,
30 to so, the mean point lies not at
the zero but on the heavyweight side
% the zero at the age Of thirty and
at the lightweight side Of the zero
at the age of fifty, and only at the
age of 40 is the table apparently cor
