NEW WELLS
BEING DRILLED

Fred Mott Jr. of Hammond returned
to Tulsa, Okla, yesterday morning,
where he is looking after the interests
of the Lake County Oil company, who
hold a lease on 1900 acres of valu-
able oil land in that territory Ex-
Sheriff Grant of Lowell, Ind, and
Louis Holman of Hammond are also
there.
Upon Mr. Motifs visit to Hammond
he had more good news for the stock
holders of the company, and according
to the glowing accounts the oil and
gas holdings are turning out better
than was at first expected. This week
another test well was shot and is now
running at the rate of 100 barrels a
day. Work is now being done in
drilling a new well in another section.
where the geologists in charge of the
drilling expect to strike a rich vein.

DAPRON
GREATLY
HONORED

Hammonds premier dancing master
Prof. L. l. DaPron, was honored at the
convention of the United Professional
Teachers of Dancing in Chicago yester-
day. by having the Louis III waltz. a
dance designated by him. accepted as
the latest thing in the terpsichosean
art. The convention also honored him
by appointing him as the chief demon
strator of his own and others dances
at the next annual convention at Cleve-
land. In other words these dancing
masters consider the Hammond profess
sor on authority on things pertaining
to their art
While the Louis III waltz has been
accepted as the --latest" nearly a dozen
of more or less popular dances have
been condemned by the organization
as being vulgar. These are the crab
walk, bunny hug. bear cat. turkey trot.
banana split, horse walk, eye brow
gavotte. Boston dip and chicken
scratch.
The tango and the Palm Beach sway
are conditionally approved. The rag
dances in their present modes are con-
sidered demoralizing, and while they
may have been originally artistic. they
have been nodded into vulgar inter
pretations.
The association adopted a new rule,
to-wit: Dancers of every kind OF dance
must remain a half arms length or
about six inches from each other.
This new rule" said r. L. Sullivan
president of the association keeping
| the couple separated at a certain dis
tance always will shut out the vul-
garity that has crept into the popular
dance. Position is the whole thing in
| these dances"

REALTY IS
IN GREAT
DEMAND
Big Real Estate Deals for
Week in Hammond; I'm
portant in Standpoint of
Values; Holman Street Is
Making Strides.

The week just closed was an important
one from the standpoint of real estate
values. It saw the elimination of a
big Holman street deal at a record
making hgure, and also brought about
the announcement from the NJ v. Scott
d Co. that 1T would build general
hospital on the east side. Along this
line the activities of the w C. II.
TO get a general hospital under way are
also of interest, but the site for this
has not yet been determined, inasmuch
as the project is still being discussed
as to its feasibility.
The main thing about the weeks de-
velopments is the fact that Hammond
shows growth in all directions when
holman street and Calumet avenue are
considered as the main arteries. Those
who are in a position to know say that
the prospects for more Industrial de-
velopment are good too.
The M " Scott & Co earlier this
week authorized a statement that it
has purchased 2S4 feet on Calumet av-
enue between Eaton and Lyons streets
for non-sectarian f1ve-story hospital
having 200 rooms e. Ullrich of the

for him to accept the position because
