FORTY MILLION FOR GARY.

The. exclusive news carried in this
paper that the United States Steel
Corporation will spend forty millions
more upon its Gary steel works
means that the. big industrial insti-
tuition is to be doubled.
Up to the first of the year the steel
trust expended little over fifty-fye
millions upon the steel works.
Doubling the size of the mills would
entail an expenditure far less than
this as all of the preliminary work
was done when the first units were
built.
The original plans and it always
has been the intention to carry them
out, provided for steel works of
|sixteen blast furnaces and auxiliary
furnaces with complementary depart
ments
OF the forty million dollar bond
issue authorized for Gary fifteen mil
lion dollars worth, the amount placed
on the market at this time, have
been purchased by j. P. Morgan &
! Co.
Chairman Gary's circular letter
issued in connection with the bond
| fiotation distinctly states that the
moneys derived from the bonds sales
will be for 1.-The actual cost of addi-
lions and betterments made to the
properties of the Indiana Steel com
lpany after January /, 1912"
| Thus fifteen million dollars of the
authorized issue of forty million
dollars become available immediately
for new construction and improve
ments at Gary. And a healthy bal.
ance of twenty-five million dollars
insures the extension of the mills to
that size which will make them tbs
greatest in the world
Now employing seven thousand
imen, with an annual payroll running
into millions, the doubling of the
Gary steel works will be of vast value
in Lake County.

The Evening Chit-Chat
Nv RUTH CAMERON

The talents required for such a pro-
fession are unusual, but doubtless there
are a good many women who possess
them and since the terrible scourge of
infantile paralysis has come among us.
there would probably be sadly many
opportunities for such work.
! Many spec ialists in scientific and
other work 40 not like to do all their
reference and routine work themselves.
and clever. well-educated women are
constantly finding opportunities in the
line OF looking up references and ar
ranging manuscripts. Somewhat SIM
liar to this is the work which wo-
man I know is doing in collecting fam
lily records for national and historical
societies and sometimes for family
use.
A letter friend sends in this sdescrip-
ton of a decidedly unusual way in
which one woman earned some money.
Mrs S. is making a fair income by
travelling in towns where summer tour
lists are wont to go and making it her
business to find out what cottages are
for rent. She then takes down COM
pIete description of them and, of their
surroundings, number of roooms, size,
color. etc. and notes IL there are any
repairs needed. She then does a real
estate agents business, but being in
terested in her clients and having more
details at her finger tips, does the work
in much more individual and careful
way than ordinary real estate
agent"
woman whose husband was a
butcher. having conceived the idea of
using the bones to make soup stock.
She puts it up in neat glass Jars and
sells large quantities. She says that
being a butchers wife is not nec-
essary requirements for such work.
but that any woman could probably
make arrangements with all the butch
ers In her vicinity for the use of their
waste and would, undoubtedly, make
good pin money this way.
Who knows but that "Pin-money
Soup Stock" may some day be by
word too? RUTH CAMERON.

his hand into the plow, that the man
in whose field he works will guaran-
tee the result.
We know, for instance, a young
fellow. idle today, who turned down
the offer of position six weeks ago
because the employer would not
agree to hire him for more than 80
days at time.
Business men are worried into
nervous wrecks by the thousands
fevery year by assistants, clerks and
employees whose chief concern is to
learn how little responsibility they
can assume and yet hold a guarantee
upon the future.
The two-by-four would rather get
La fixed and guaranteed so much
per" than take a chance on earning
twice as much under commission.
If you don't believe it. Mr.. Gro
ceryman or Mr.. Laundryman. try it
on your business solicitor Offer him
his choice between $40 a week and
SIS cash, with a fair possibility of
earning SIS. You will be shocked
when you find out the truth.
People are "guarantee-mad" They
want guarantee of SO much, then,
absolutely ignoring the fact that the
guarantee business, to be of any
value, must work the other way
The person who should do the
guaranteeing is the employee He
should guarantee a clear brain, a
sharp eye, a ready hand. He should
pledge himself to constant and en-
thusfastic interest in his work, to- a
perpetual lookout for avenues of i'm
provement and a steady growth in
the knowledge of his business. He
should guarantee that his working
hours would be industriously occupi-
ed. and uncounted, and that his
leisure would be so spent as to give
strength to his mind. vigor to his
body and increase to his capacity.
| Then, and not until then. would
the guarantee of a job be absolutely
and entirely unnecessary.

CALLED THE BLUFF.

Perhaps you can find application
for the following which happened a
few days ago.
The pugnacious brother of the
town bully called upon an inoffend-
ing citizen who had given the bully
beating and this conversation took
place.
Pug. Bro. threatening and growi-
ing like a bear) Say youse are the
guy wot hit my brother John amt

Inoffensive Cit. (nervous but not
showing it--"Yes / hit your brother
John. What about it?" (The last
very defiantly.)

fugitive after having been ar
rested for attempting to kill Police
Officer William Smith and until his
apprehension in Iowa nothing had
ever been heard from the man by To-
cal officers. He is a we'll known
crook, and is well known to every
chief of police in every city OF note
in this and foreign countries. Since
the big London diamond robbery
Scotland Yard has had the depart
ments of every city in Europe and
America searching for him.
Ruthery escaped to Europe in
1902, and the report that reaches
Chief of Police o'Neil is that he was
at the head of a gang of gem
thieves. The officials here had been
warned to keep a lookout for him as

assault on Officer Smith took place
when orders We're given that he must
close his place as provided by law.
Rothery left the city and managed
to keep from arrest until he landed

In 1898 Rothery was sentenced to
