Gold Dust Brishtens the Home

Nothing is so attractive as a cleanly
home; nothing contributes so much to
cleanliness as Gold Dust. No matter
what it touches--china, pots and pans,
floors, woodwork, clothes, etc.-it cleans
thoroughly, leaves everything spotlessly
clean, bright and attractive.
Don't use up all your time and strength
trying to keep things clean; use Gold
Dust everywhere you can--in all your
household cleaning-and let it do the
work. 1t works SO quickly and thor
oughly that really it makes cleaning a
pleasure instead of task. 1t makes
home Sweet home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-"Every
two hours and fifteen minutes rail-
road employee is killed; every six
minutes one is injured"
In eighty per cent of damage suits
for personal injuries brought by rail-
road employees there can be no pos
sible recovery, by the representative
of the employees who are killed or by
those who are injured, against the
company, for the reason that 1t can
not be shown that the railroads were
at fault The evidence very often is
destroyed by the disaster
1t was this slaughter of railroad
employees and of their lamentable fail
ure when they sought redress in the
courts that prompted congress to seek
means OF relief. A law was passed
creating the Employers Liability and
Workmen's Compensation commits
sion. The members are Senator
George Sutherland, chairman; Sena-
tor George E Chamberlain, Repre-
sentative William G. Brantley and
Reuban o. Moon, chosen by congress
and w. C. Brown, president OF the

appointed by President Taft.
Their problem was to devise law
that would get reasonable compensa-
ton for the injured and the depend
ents of the killed in railroad acct-
dents fairly, promptly and without
proceedings in court 1t is about as
sperplexing a task as congress ever
assigned to body of men. In hear
ings held at intervals since last May
the commission has been the target
OF conflicting arguments by able men
on all angles of the proposition. SO
as to have a basis for action the
commission drew up tentative list
of conditions that should be placed in
the proposed law. Some OF them
were that:
The acceptance Of the terms of the
law as TO compensation to railroad
employees for partial or total disabili-
", or to dependents Of those killed
should be made compulsory to both
sides. The bill prepared for congress
win set a value on the loss of any
member OF the body, total disability or
death,
The remedy of the law to be ac-
cepted by both employer and en-
ployee without appeal to the courts.

GARY ATTY. APPEARS
BEFORE THE BOARD

Crown Point, Ind. Feb. Attorney
Ross Moore of Gary, acting in behalf
of the Gary Horse Thief Protective
association, appeared before the county
commissioners today and asked that the
charter RECENTLY received from the sec
rotary of state be approved by the
board 1t is thought that the board will
take action on the charter today.
The charter contains the names of
forty citizens OF Gary. the majority of
them said to be members of the Gary
Employers, Builders and Material Mems
association. who are taking this means
of protecting their property. The APP
prevail of the charter by the commits
sioners will give them Immediate DOW
er to cause the arrest of ali persons
who modest property. Their powers are
even greater than those of the city
police, for they not only have juris-
diction in Gary but in the county and
state as well.

RENEWED ACTIVITY NOTED
At GARYS STEEL MILLS

Renewed activity is noted at the
gratifying signs of a returning pick
up in the steel industry is that rush
orders have been given to make ready
to low in blast furnace No. 5. increas-
ing the present pig iron production
more than % per cent.
Three blast furnaces are now in
commission. and with the addition of
No. 5 on the active list, there will yet
be four more to place IN commission.
Get Big Billet Order.
In addition to the large order of
150, 900 tons of New York Central rails
allotted to the Illinois steel company, a
Target billet order has been assigned
to the Gary plant. 1t is FOR 5000 tons
of billets for Canadian steel plants
The Canadian mills are rushed with
billet orders, and their surplus com
missions which they are unable to fill
are being sent to the Gary plant. This
will mean activity in some of the roll
ing mills for some time and in the
meantime the pickup in the steel in
dustry will bring in many new or
ders.
Several changes are noted In the Of

Yesterday afternoon Attorney E. NJ.

against whom indictments had been re-

be continued for the term on account
of the fact that Attorney Frank N.

should Have Three Trunk Roads.
Nh. Crumpacker said that while Lake
county had enough ordinary stone
roads he believed that Lake county
should have two main trunk roads one
at the north end of the county and
another at the south end running the
entire breadth of the county from east
to west. These main trunk lines should
be connected by another good road ex-
tending from the north to the south.
Mr. Crumpacker said as tax payer
he thought that these roads should be
made of the best of material and that
they should have good and sufficient
binder to make them last from all time
to come.
Result In Closed Competition.
The trouble arose when specified tions
were read prepared by the county en-
gineer In which he specified the Ameri-
can Rubber and Asphalt Co.'S material
standa I'd. The specifications read
that the American Rubber and Asphalt
company's material shall be used Or
other material equally as good.
Representatives of the Standard AS
phalt company and the Barbar Asphalt
Compan NY were loud in their denuncisA
tioh OF this material and claim that if
this is used as standard the other
companies cannot live up to the
analysis and that closed competition
will result in awarding the contract
under the present specifications.
Not stand the Tests.
County Attorney ]. Frank Meeker
argued that all companies could bid
If they could furnish material as good
as that specified but the representatives
of the two other companies made plain
that owing to certain chemical analysis
and tempertines that their material
would not stand the test as specified
by the American Rubber and Asphalt
Company.
The arguments grew so heated at
times that fist fight was narrowly
averted and hot words were exchang-
ed. At one time one representative
as willing to wager $500 that his com
petitor was wrong and the bl,iff was a
good one as the man no made rhe claim

the materials before they allow the
