Mrs. Haldron, travelling, ii is alleg-

Weather Forecastinq.

Temperature Is but one OF the ele-
ments of the weather. Considered by
itself its evidence is valueless. The
chief factor in forecasting impending
conditions of weather is the pressure
of the air as recorded by the barom-
eter. To this prime record the read
ing of the thermometer and the con
dition of the wind are cOntributory.
but always secondary. AS the winds
fall from all directions into the trough
of low barometric pressure the tenn
perature tends to fall, when the center
of the low passes south of the observa-
ton point. and to rise when the low
passes northward and thus admits the
air from the warmer south.-New YORK

of making braid for bonnets from oat
straw. smoothed with her scissors and
split with her thumbnail. A bonnet OF
seven braids. with bobbin inserted

HAMMOND IS MADE
SEPARATE DISTRICT

Attorney l. v. Cravens of Hammono
is one of the lucky men who has been
able to secure some of the rapidly dis
appearing Calumet avenue frontage in
the territory between the Michigan
Central and Nickel Plate tracks which
has recently come to be SO much in de-
mand.
Mr.. Cravens purchased 109 feet of
frontage on Calumet avenue, just north
of the Herkner property. The property
ranges in depth from 40 to 50 feet.
The deal was a three cornered one,
in which Robert Matthies. w. G. Paxton
and L. " Cravens were parties. This is
another evidence of the faith of some
of the best observers in the future OF
Calumet avenue in the vicinity of State
and Sibley streets.
Mr. Cravens says that he has not
yet decided whether or not he will i'm
prove the property. but he will not lei
it stand idle long. He is delighted with
his purchase.

the beautiful roooms of that organiza-
ton, last night, the decision was
reached to make a proposition for the
joint use of the rooms by the two or
ganizations.
1t is believed that plan has at last
been hit upon that will be satisfactory
to both organizations. 1t contemplates
the making of a very liberal PROPOSE
tiap to the Hammond Chamber of Com
merce by the University club of Ham

BY the terms of that proposition the
identity of the University club is to be
preserved, but the Hammond Chamber
of Commerce will have charge of the
rooms. The University club members
will have the inclusive use of the
rooms. The University club members
will have the exclusive use of tho
rooms on certain nights.

The Chamber of Commerce will then
have the entire third floor of the Citi-
zens National Bank building. In the
rear room it will have an up-to-date
cafe. where MONDAY luncheons will be
served The room that is now used
as a ball rooom by the members of the
University club will be used as an as
sembly room by the Hammond Chamber
of Commerce.
Hammonds civic organization is now
expected to double Its membership with
these handsome CLUB roooms as the at
traction. 1t will get a large member

with. That is to be part Of the propo-
sition.

Progressive Hammond Sub

Must Be Kept Intact,
However, as a Residence

A. NJ De Weese. the agent of the
Erie railroad In Hammond. expressed
a great deal of surprise that the facts
In the land deal at Highlands should
have been made public
He said. however, that 1t seemed to
be the logical thing for the railroad
to do. He said that the road would
have to make some arrangements for
terminal facilities and that he would
not be surprised that these arrange
ments should be made at Highlands.
Andrew Reiner. one of the leading
citizens of the Ridge road district,
said today that he had known of tho
proposed land purchase for some time.
However, he was greatly interested in
THE TrMDs' article.
The only thing we are afraid OF
here" said Mr.. Reiner, "is that the
Erie coal storage warehouse will be
built too near Highlands and will de-
stroy that town as a residential dis
trtct-
we are taking steps to make tho
Ridge Road the residential district for
tho entire Calumet region and any
thing that seems to work against the
contamination of these plans will not
be received with enthusiasm by the
people OK Highlands
The Ridge road is to be the Sheri-
dan drive of the Calumet region. and
the people here are going to night
TO have It retain it's characteristics as
O residential district of the first class.
$50 long as the Eries operations are
confined to the district away from the
Ridge road they will receive the
hearty cooperation OF the town of
Highlands"
The people Of Highlands are very
much Interested In the matter OF the
big land deal and they are watching
all OF the Developments very carefully.
