Dead? Certainly Not.
Richard dead?

Rfchard dead
Well, we should say not7
Richard is very much alive. Some
body started the story that Ham
monds famous newsboy, Richard Taus-
sig. had "cashed" in yesterday. and the
city was preparing to mourn when 1t
was discovered upon inquiry that Rich =
ard is very much alive, but had not
been able to be out for few days by
reason of bad cold
Hence, we are glad to chronicle the
fact that Richard could read his own
obituary if there was one written for
him.

Astounding figures we're gwen the
State convention of the Indiana
Young Mems Christian Association
last night at the businessmen's ban
quet at the Masonic Temple with
reference to the foreign population in
Indiana, particularly in Lake county
showing that nearly SIS per cent were
foreign born.
DR. Peter Roberts, of New York
City, secretary of the International
Committee, delivered an address on
Practical Work for For Foreigners, =
and cited amazing statistics taken
from the 1910 census returns.
Appeals For Foreigners.
With charts diagrams and maps the
expert. brought the figures home to
his audience of four hundred and fifty.
He made an impassioned plea for the
foreigner who is stranger in the
strange land, the butt and misunder-
stood brother of American society. who
wants but a square deal. The Indiana
Y. NJ. c. A, said DR.. Roberts. is pledg
ed TO come to the relief of the foreigner
with some practical work, and this
work was given in brief outline by the
speaker. This work he divided into
five general phases, the most important
of which is the teaching of the English
language. He explained the need and
value of giving instruction to the
foreigner In the meaning of naturaliza-
tion. and that he should be taught the
economic values of the United States,
its system Of government. etc
Wants Community Centers.
In advocating the closer relation be-
tween native born and the foreigner
he advocated child welfare work, par
ticularly the teaching of the foreigners
who take caer OF their children. The
establishing of community centers was
given his last practical suggestion
Hammond never had gathering
such as was brought together last
night at the business mems dinner
Hammond is making It's first effort to
entertain Y. NJ. C. A convention, and
the representative business men of the
city who turned out last night showed
that they had caught the Y. NJ c. A
spirit.
