results which Wilt prove of incalcula-
BILE value to every resident and prop
erty owner of the south side.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
the south side will no longer stand
for having every other section of the
city improved without getting its prop
er share, and it is safe to predict that
the activity of this association will re-
suit, within a short time, in making
this section of our city the most desir-
able location to own a home.
Those present had the pleasure of
listening to a very interesting and in
structive talk by John /. Rhode. presi-
dent OF the board of public works.
which Nvas followed by very able
address by Roscoe F. Woods. whose
subject was "A Forecast of What the
South Side of Hammond Is To Be-
Residents of the south side not pres
ent at these meetings certainly missed
a great deal of information and knowl-
edge about what is going on in their
part of the city which they should
know about, and the fact that much is
being accomplished should make every
resident of the south side feel that it is
his duty to attend.
The president of the association said
that in view of the fact that the inter-
ests of the association and the company
are mutual that he thought they would
cooperate to make the south side the
best residential section of the city.

most moonlight for a year. The moon
was in perigee, that is nearest to the
earth In the annual changes of po-
sition of those bodies. 1t is estimated
that the increase of light over that
when the moon is farthest away was
nearly one third, and this excess will
be but slightly less for several nights.
The moon is directly overhead at mid

COMPARATIVE TUBERCULOSIS
RATES

While the tuberculosis death rate is
falling rapidly in every civilized coun-
try, due largely to vigorous campaigns
against tuberculosis, recent figures
given out by the International Con
gress on tuberculosis at Rome show
that from one-tenth to one-fourth Of
the total mortality of Europe is
caused by this disease. The approx
mate number of deaths in each mil
lion population from tuberculosis in
certain countries are indicated in the
following table:
: Russia, 1000; Austria-Hungary,
$500; France, 5000; Germany, 1900;
Holland. 1.19OO; Italy, 1900; Scotland,
LOO; United States, 1900; England,
1,4OO.
The United States death rate is for
only a little more than one-half the
population or for the registration area
and is not strictly comparable with
the others.

TRoLLEYMAN STILL FESTIVE


Holyoke, Mass. June 6.-No salts
factory adjustment of the wage ques-
ton has been reahced at conferences
held between the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
employees on the trolley lines in GER
tain portions of Connecticut and
Massachusetts,. The companies have
offered a compromised schedule of 22c
to 271zc per hour. The trolleymen
demand a flat rate of 30c per hour.
The compromise offer of the company
is not looked upon favorably by the
men, and the situation at the present
time is somewhat strained, although
there is some talk that the entire mat
ter may go to arbitration.
