PREDICTS BLINDERs FOR MEN.

The modern tendency of women 10
dress immodestly has brought forth a
prediction of woe for them from the
Rev. Frederick E. Heath, pastor Of
the Warren Avenue Baptist Church
in Boston, who says it is only a ques-
ton Of time before men will Insist
that women be shut up at home He
says 1t is going to be a choice between
binders for men or wells for the
women.
Il have been most reluctant to
speak about this says the pastor,
but the time has come when the men
of America must rise to their plain
duty. The women have gone too far
Young girls are walking up and down
our streets every day so apparelled
that the right-minded citizen feels
nothing but disgust for them.
And the end is not yet Now they
tell US we are about to see a Paris Of
fering called the expose toilet
understand the hobble and sheath
skirt will be tame beside it.
4 blame society, which sets the
modes for the rest of us. And 1 de-
clare that if the thing continues man
will have to assert his manhood"

A FEW QUESTIONS.

Are we mad only for little term
and will we return to serenity after
the fever passes2 Shall we turn
from the clatter of these days, the
temporal displays. the unreal values
set on position and success. the scorn
of what is simple-minded and gen.
erous, the haste and noise that
drown out all gentle voices?
Sometimes one wonders if the
world has forever lost its sense OF
peace and beauty, if we are to whizz
and yell and advertise till the end
of time. VIII simple pleasures al
ways seem tame and quiet ways un-
successful? Isn't it time to recover
our knowledge Of the wind on the
hills, the silent passge of summer S
day, the swift wind-swept procession
of autumn clouds, the lake in calm
and storm, with the breaking waves
that wear away the beach?
Fewer fish suppers with beer and
more honest, home-lunches might
help hasten the day.

All Hail CITY Dads.

City dads are greatly in the ma
jority at the twenty-third congress of
the Municipal League now in full
swing. They out number mayors, city
engineers. commissioners and health
officers. four to one. They dominate
the convention numerically and it may
seem strange that they have the least
to say in the meetings of any one
class of city officials.
But in the lobbies of Broadway
hotels they are once the most talka-
tive, Jovial and interesting of the dele
gates. They swarm together, men of
all types, farmers, tradesmen, business
men and public spirited citizens of
means--all pals for the time. In a
story telling contest at the Gary
Hotel last night John White of Madi-
son. Ben Lehman of Lafayette, r. NJ.
Mccoy of Plymouth and E. b. Wus-
mantel entertained a vast audience.
Mccoy won by the recital of a story
which he claims that a mayor told him
in the afternoon. 1t concerns coun-
try hotel, the proprietor, a travelling
man and million or SO flies that
tormented the commercial salesman to
death while he was taking bath. He
made complaint and-here comes the
laugh-was told to bathe at the dinner
hour when they tthe fies) would all
be in the dining room.
Pointless? Well something may
have been lost in the recital

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH.

An automobile containing four
people was wrecked and the occu-
pants injured Sunday night at the
Clark road crossing of the South
Shore Railway. One of the victims
may die, a $4,000 car was destroyed
and there will be some hospital bills.
This is an accident that should
not have occurred and it is a miracle
that death did not attend 1t. Had
the interurban company obeyed the
Gary city ordinances and installed
electric bells the autoists might have
had some warning, for sand bluffs
block the view from either side of
the road
1t would have cost the South
Shore Company few dollars to pro-
vide protection at this crossing. In
stead, there was none, and the COM
pany faces possible damage suits that
will cost 1t thousands OF dollars.
Every unguarded grade crossing In
his entire region is death trap
many of them stained with blood OF
more than score of victims. Yet
despite this, transit corporations
continue to hold life cheaply and nc
APPLICATION of the law Furnishes them
for it.

in the concerted effort to cut down
the Bulgarian share of the territory
conquered from the Turks. If the
lately allied Balkan kingdoms en-
gage in a fierce conflict among them
selves and the Turks venture to re-
open hostilities it is foregone con-
clusion that they will strike the Bull
garans first and hardest The Bull
gars alone are in position exposed
to the full weight Of Turkish ad-
vance.
These conditions create a grave
situation for the hard-hitting and
courageous Bulgarians to face. They
are inferior in numbers and material
resources to the Greeks and Serbs
combined and with Roumania in the
field the numerical odds against Bull

BULGARIA'S MANY FOES.

Whether or not the fighting be-
tween Bulgarian troops on one side
and Servian and Greek forces on the
other goes on until 1t becomes gen.
eral war, there is no doubt that the
largest and most powerful of the four
Balkan states which waged victorious
war against Turkey is beset by many
foes. If the great powers bring about
the settlement of the boundary ques-
tions by arbitration or by mutual con
cessions. still the Bulgars will be
forced to contend against the in
|uence of Servia, Greece and probably
Montenegro combined.
Moreover, Roumania, larger than
Bulgaria and with resources un-
touched by war, will surely take part

Mayors Fine Address.

Mayor Tom Knots read a f1owery
speech at the welcome meeting in the
auditorium of the Commercial Club
yesterday. The session was not begun
until late and only twenty five were
present TO hear the mayors address,
1t seemed a pity to waste so many
high-sounding words on so few people
but IL had to be done.

the other for Broadway-the last word
in main streets-visitors gasped when
they beheld its beauties The decora-
tions on the exterior of the Commerce

found the interior of the club to be as

NOW DOESN'T IT.

THINGS have got so bad in Lake
County the grand jury has had to ask
for special prosecutor in order to get
indictments returned and a gambling
joint at Cavanaugh raided. At that
the raid was only a farce, three
hangers-on being arrested, while the
proprietors were permitted to go free
and the gambling continue-South
Bend Tribune.
It also begins to look as If some
thing else beside the raid was a
farce.

Storm Hurt Attendance.

A severe WIND and rain storm which
disrupted traffice on the street rail-
ways of Gary last evening had almost
a like effect on the evening session of
the Municipal League meeting in the
auditorium of the Commercial club.
Less than a hundred were in attend
ance. Though no Gary councilmen and
few other city officials were at the
afternoon reception quite a number
turned out in the evening helping to
make the crowd respectable in size.
The tie-up of traffic killed the attend
ance. keeping delegations already ar
rived in their hotels and holding 9TH
ers on their way. Today was the big
day anyway.

garia, even IL the Turks did not fire a
shot.
Yet Bulgaria may risk the issue of
|so one-sided struggle. There is
deep and bitter resentment against
long disliked Roumania. The Bulgars
have suffered much in the war
against the Turks, but they have also
made great gains and their confidence
is as high as their fighting blood is
hot. Statesmen, not the populace,
will prevent war If peace has to be
bought by giving up any of the Turk
ish territory which Bulgaria now
claims.
