CEDAR LAKE
rs NAUGHTY

Especial to THE TIMEs.)
Lowell, Ind, July 19-Rumors reach
here that Cedar Lake is going pretty
fast this summer. and the citizens of
Lowell and vicinity are getting pretty
sick of It, This place Is contributing
pretty freely of it's young people to
the Saturday night revelry that is the
rule. Dance halls. drinking dives and
ether dives are said to run wide open
beyond the lawful hours. 1t is further
said that Chicago is doing it's share
of sowing the seeds of immortality On
Saturday nights the autos between
Lowell and the Lake burn up the
roads conveying joy riders back and
forth. and the hi1arity Is kept UP un-
til Sunday morning. The law and or
der league. a strong organization to
see that the law Is enforced, will take
hold of the matter unless the lid is
kept a little closer and lawful hours
adhered to.

OBEYING LAW

According to Chief Austgen automo-
bile owners in Hammond are obeying
the new ordinance recently passed re-
garding the drivers of machines stop
ping their automobiles when street
cars are unloading passengers
The new ordinance reads that the
driver of an automobile is required to
stop within twenty feet of a street car
when passengers are unloading or
getting on. In violation of this ordi-
ance the offender is liable to a fine
of not less than SIS and not more than
500.
"Of course, there are a number of
automobile owners who forget about
the new ordinance" said Chief Aust
gen this morning, but in a few weeks
we hope to have no more trouble This
will be remedied just like the speed
ers, who, upon finding out that they
could not burn up the roads, the prac-
tice was stopped"
