The other goes along in hum

that, in stereotyped way, makes

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS
and MUCH TROUBLE
Foreigners Celebrate by Old
Calendar and Many Are
the Disturbances.

When the sun dipped below the forsty
western horizon last night Christmas
ever began for such of those folk in
the Calumet region who observe yule-
tide by the old orthodox calender.
simultaneously with the disappear
ance of Old Sol the appearance of Old
Nick was marked in many places in
Gary's foreign quarter and before twi-
light had given away to the -moonlit
darkness there was many a broken head
among the celebrants.
Bad whiskey is blamed by the Gary
poIime for the numerous brawls and
small riots that began at several of the
feasts. The mixups are an annual oc-
currence and tonight more trouble Is
looked for among the more boisterous
of the mirth makers.
Today those who broke the law and
their neighbors' heads will have to
answer for it the Gary city court.

MONDAY
LUNCH CLUB
PROPOSED

The smoker given by the University
club of Hammond in it's club rooms
last Saturday evening was the most
successful affair that has ever been
given by the club.
Over fifty of the members were pres
ent, and the entertainment that was
provided exceeded all expectations.
Early in.the evening the members play
ed bridge and billiards and pool, and
at sac business session was held at
which the clubs welfare was discussed.
One of the matters that was taken
up was plan to organize a MONDAY
club for the purpose of providing a
place for the business man to get his
lunch.
A committee was appointed to go into
the matter end determine whether or
not the plan would be feasible. 1t is
thought that a membership of $50 or
200 business men could be secured for
such a club and that it could be made a
success.
The plant is to equip a dining room
and have some first-class chef run it
for what he could make out of it con-
sistent with prov iding good service and
firstclass meals.
After the business session an enter
tainer from Chicago sang songs, played
the piano and told stories. The corn
mittee in charge of the evenings en-
fertainment then sprang a surprise
when Miss oliver. one of the members
of company now playing at the Or
,, pheuna theatre. ran into the center of
| the rooom, and after being mounted on
a table sang the same song that she has
sung this week in stage Door John
nies"
| With her came the manager of the
show, who sang song and the black
| face comedian. who danced and sang.
| The trio from the Orpheum made a
great hit and Miss oliver was warmly
congratulated on account of her clever
ness.
