a penny for your thoughts!,


That's an old expression, but The
Calrs penny contest is not. Have
you read about it2 ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS in bright. shining pennies
fresh from the mint are to be given
away to readers Of The Call.
Why?
Because The Call is a penny paper
1t is directly interested in the circu-
lation of pennies. and it wants every
San Francisco to appreciate the ad-
vantages of the penny.
Therefore:
Make a study of these advantages.
get out your old rhetoric books, II
necessary, and brush up. but sit down
and write letter to me Cal ana ana
tell us WHAT YOU THINK are the
advantages of the little copper cent.
and for the best letter Of 250 words
The Call will award bag containing
the sum of FIFTY DOLLARS In pen
nies. for the second best bag con-
tanning TWENTY DOLLARS in PEN
MES third best FIFTEEN DOLLARS
in pennies, fourth best TEN DOLLARS
in pennies and for the fifth best FIVE
DOLLARS in pennies.
Everybody is talking about the nlgn
cost of living these days. The penny
fs one solution of the problem. Save
the dollars will take care OF them
selves" Let that be your theme II
you will but write about it. Tell The
Call what you think about the penny
as an aid to economy. as stimulus
to thriftiness. Why, there are hum
dred advantages in the circulation OF
the penny, and The Call wants to
know them. and what is more, II
wants Call readers to tell about them
In writing
IT used to be that people in San
Francisco would disdain to accept
one or two pennies that were due
them in change. Why? "Oh, | don't
want to be bothered with THOSE
things" was the usual expression.
But the advent Of The Cali changed
all that for The Cali came into the
field of newspaperdom offering cents
worth of reading matter for a
PENNY.
An thought Mr.. San Franciscan,
now ] know what ! can do with my
odd pennies I'll buy Call" And so
he did. And so did lot of other
people. Presently they began chang
ing Calls. That IS what The Call
wants the people to do. 1t wants the
penny to become as common as the
nickel has been in the past. 1t wants
the penny to gain universal circula-
ton here. and to stimulate this the
BIG PENNY CONTEST WAS inaug-
urated.
Get out the pen and ink, the type
writer or the pencil and write about

Outdoor League Plan
To Abolish Cemeteries
Disapproved by Long
City Attorney Holds Park Project
Can Not Be Used With Super
visor's Scheme

City Attorney Long advised the SUI
pervisors today that the plan to abol-
ish the cemeteries can not be put into
effect in conjunction with the Outdoor
Art leagues suggestion that half of
the burial places be parked. Accord
ing to Long the abandonment plan
and the parking plan are in conflict.
He says that the former proceeds
upon the theory that the cemeteries
constitute public nuisance and can
be removed for that reason. The
parking plan contemplates the re-
moval of all the bodies in the western
half of Laurel Hill cemetery and from
portions of other cemeteries. with the
consent of the cemetery associations
and lot owners and provides for the
reinterment in the eastern half.
This plan, says Long, depends upon
the consent of the plot owners while
the abandonment plan comes within
the police powers of the supervisors.

HAMMOND-GARY FARE
RATE is UNCHANGED
South Shore Line, However,
Inaugurates Some In
creaSeS.

The informa ton which was given
THE TINES by ]. A Aubrey Of the north
side regarding the increase in the fares
of the South Shore line company was
erroneous in some particulars
The officers OF the company deny.
for instance, that there is to be an in
crease of 10 cents in the fare between
Hammond and Gary. The fare will re-
main o cents and could not be changed
on account of the franchise stipula-
tions
The fare from Hammond to Hege-
wisch will be cents and from Hege-
wisch to Pullman will be an addition
al cents, but the fare for a con-
tinuous passage will be Is cents. Thus
if man makes a through trip from
Hammond to Kensington or Pullman
it costs him cents more than it would
If he got stop over in Hegewisch.
The fare to Chicago is 40 cents one
way Two trip tickets will be sold,
however. for so cents and a ten-ride
ticket will be sold for $3.50. or at the
rate of 25 cents a trip.
The fare from Hammond to Michigan
City is 70 cents instead of so cents
and the round trip rate is $40 instead
of s110 Mileage tickets will be sold
for ss-75 instead of $3.50. These tick
cts are good for the holder and party.
While there is a substantial increa Sc
in the fares scheduled by the South
Shore lines. 1t is not as bad as Mr.
Aubrey thought 1T was when he com
planned to THE TINES

OEADBEATS BANKRUPT
GARY BUSINESS
Number of Failures This
Early Is Surprising;
Only 16 in 1912.

Dead-beats in Gary have made two
of its business men bankrupts. In
addition two other cases were report
ed since the first of the year. So that
four business men have been compelled
to retire in the past two months on ac-
count of their inability to make collec-
tions in Gary.
Sor instance, there is Nick Trukula
of Gary He is a baker and failed for
s1.597 But he had on his books, at
the time he decided that he could not
meet his creditors. sf.415 in uncollect-
able accounts
The cast of Samuel Lapidas of Gary,
butcher and baker is similar. Lapidas
has debts amounting to s1,969 and
books accounts of s1,97o. which are un-
colIectable. His case is in the hands
of Harris & RessIer of Gary.
Arthur B. Carrigan. a painter, living
in Hammond. scheduled liabilities Of
S2550. and assets of $500, which is
exempt. McAleer Bros represented the
petitioner.
In the first two months of this year
last year there were only 16 the year
before only Is and the year before that
only Is. The number of failures is sur
prising.. also in view of the fact that
times are better by far than they were
year or two years ago.

of stone a year.
The increase from 20 cents to $1-1o

THAW RUINS ICE CROP.

A halt was called on the ice harvest
at Wolf Lake yesterday morning, the
ice being too soft and of sucn an i'm
ferior grade on account of the thaw
during the past two days. that it was
thought useless to store it. No more
ice will be put up this year, according
to the Knickerbocker Ice company.
On account of the shortage in labor.
the Knickerbocker people put up less
ice this year than ever before and it is
doubtful if the harvest will be suffi
cient to carry them through the season.
The ice harvest lasted only two
weeks and 1T is estimated that approxi-
mately 10000 tons of ice was stored,
the ice houses being filed to only half
their capacity. Besides the Ice that was
stored an average of about 25 cars were
shipped a day.

CALUMET AVE.
TO GET FIVE
NEW BLDGS.

With the announcement that Ave
property owners on Calumet avenue
are going to build two-sfory business
blocks this spring. over 2I5s feet of
frontage, the Importance of that street
as a business thoroughfare is coming
to be appreciated
The following are the building prof.
ects that are announced:
Henry p Downey. two-story
store and fiat building, of
brick, 5ox125, on so feet of
frontage .... s25,oo0
Arnold Keldenich, two-story
store and fiat building of brick,
5ox10o, on so feet of frontage. 20, 900
Kolb & Bruckner, three-story
store and fiat building, of
brick, 5ox140, on 90 feet of
frontage - $4,000
George Austgen two-story
store and fat building of
brick, 25x100 ...-.... $4,000
John Ahlborn. twostory store
and fiat building of brick.
25x1oo -. Observation-Disclosures. $4,000
Leo Wolf. one story store build
ing at the corner of Sibley and
Calumet ave, e5x100. ... $4,000
This means that s135,ooo is to be
spent this year on Calumet avenue for
the construction of business blocks all
but one of which will be two stories
high.
1t means that Calumet avenue is GO
ing to rival State street and Hohma n
street as the business center of Ham
mond. In addition to this there are a
number of building projects planned
for Calumet avenue north of state
street
business street of Hammond is the cry
that is going up now and effort
will be made to prevent the erection of
a single one story building Two
stories and higher is what the peo-
pie onsthe street want.
Calumet avenue is not going to wait
until the Gogebic Iron company comes.
1t is going ahead with the work of
building up great business thor
oughfare and will be ready for the
greater prosperity that will come when
this plant is built.
The knockers against the plan for
widening Calumet avenue and opening
it through to Lake Michigan admit
that they were wrong. They now see
that the Improvement is worth all it
cost and more too. They want deep
sewer on the south side as well as the
that the street can be re-paved. the
walks rebuilt and the street can take
on a metropolitan air

The new scale if adopted, which IL
