EXCURSION FOR LOT
SALE WAS SUCCESS
About $50 People Come Out
From Chicago to Look
Over Ground.

The Chicago to Hammond excursion
on the Illinois Central and the Chi
cago, Lake Shore & South Bend rail-
way and the auction sale of lots yester-
day afternoon was great success.
In the neigh borhood of $50 people
came out from Chicago and eighteen
lots were sold on Henry street. IT is
expected that at least doubt that num-
Der will be sold at private sale as a re-
suit of the advertising that the prop
erty has received.
All but one of the sales were made
to Chicago people. The day was per-
feet and the Chicago crowd was aug
mented by an equal number from Ham,
mond, so that there was a big attend
ance at the auction.
One good thing about the auction is
the fact that the public is positively
getting it's moneys worth. This is not

READY FOR PRESIDENT

one of the important lake ports.
Heretofore all of the shipping that
went In at Indiana Harbor was credit
ed to South Chicago. AS a result the
promoters of the Calumet river project
were able to point to large shipping
than they really had and could get
larger appropriations for river and
harbor improvements a result.
Now all of the shipping that enters
the harbor at Indiana Harbor will be
credited to Indiana Harbor instead of
South Chicago. 1t is expected that the
government will have to appoint har-
Dor master and a customs officer to
look after the local port
The creation of SUPPORT of entry
at Indiana Harbor comes at an oppor-
tune time. While the tonnage that is
now received at Indiana Harbor is not
great it is expected to increase by
leaps and bounds in the near future.
The Standard Oil Co. is now building
docks and has number of large oil
boats in the process of construction.
This tonnage will all be credited to In
diana Harbor.
The Inland Steel Co. now receives
quantities of iron ore at the harbor
entrance but with the construction of
the Northwestern Iron Co. il Is expect
ed that this tonnage will be doubled.
All of this development is sure to at
tract the attention of the government
and make it easy to secure appropria-
tions in the future.

abnormal condition and should be

prompt attention or the trouble be-

true of parts under the arms where
excess perspiration causes great dis
comfort, ruins garments and creates

known thing that will successfully
and scientifically remedy these trou-

Paterfamilias was very robust man,

DO you think, Miss Blaney, the typt-

You may be quite sure that the Ann
woman wears the latest and the most
up-to- date things. She's probably en-

ton
Miss Blaney had put the last touch

little curl in place over her right ear,
and was now ready for the stage Her
couture, by the way, is a most inter-
esting one. The front hair is parted
and waved back naturally, the back
hair is wound around the head in a
tight swirl fitting the head closely and

the hair.

the slit introduced in front was abso-

How I do dislike these tight skirts"
said Miss Blaney. Il think that women
would get more courtesy shown them,
more respect and more politeness If
they would go back to pettcoats, and
all the frilly, lacy things which are so
essentially feminine.
These present fashions are certainly
abominable. For myself. l would like
full wide petticoat and skirt, almost
a crinoline in fact; something that es-
sentially expressed the really feminine.
l love lace and all beautiful materials,
and lots of them. These ridiculous
skinny skirts are ugly and unbecom-
ing, as well as immodest.
You will notice that since women
began to discard one petticoat after
another and appear finally in the scan
test of skirts they have lost q great
deal Of the outward respect and consid-
Grafton which used to be shown them in
the days of fuller petticoats.
80 ! say let us get back to petit
coats and gain once more the consider
alton and respect which are no longer
shown to women who wear the ridicu-
lous fashions of the day"
