SMELLING SALTS. PLEASE.

The 'steemed Gary Tribune got al.
fused up Saturday night because
William Ellis Corey. sometime presi--
dent of the steel trust, told the gov
eminent few things.
The Tribune charges that Corey
has disappointed his friends in Gary
by his testimony and that the
enemies of the corporation are cor
respondingly jubliant.
Now who is big enough in the
steel game in Gary to have been such
close friend of Willum that they
are now disappointed in him2 Must
be The Tribune editor, the connect
ing link between the great and the
near great.
And who are the villainous
enemies of the corporation who arr
SO mean as to be jubliant owe

A STRONG COMBINATION.

Hammond is certainly adopting
progressive policy in matters educa-
tional. It's latest venture, that of
combining high school course with
a practical trade apprenticeship. is of
unquestioned merit. When our
mechanics and workers at all man
ner of trades are the equals from a
standpoint of book-learning and gem
eral education of the man who fol-
lows sedentary and kindred occupa-
tions, the former will assume a dig
nifty now unpossessed in the opinion
of the youth of the land. You can
take a job away from a man but you
can't his trade.
There is no question that the earn
ing capacity of men who follow
trades, is greater pro rata than that
of bGolSkeepers, clerks and the like
There is no question that the occupa
ton is more along the lines of "a
mans work Many man who ha:
spent the best years of his life at
clerkship regrets that he did no
learn a trade. This after he has at
tanned years of discretion. AS
youth however, he looked down up

1t is unfortunate that the pupp.

well. from worldly standpoint.
There is better money in any OF
these occupations. than there is rela-
lively in stenography or bookkeeping
or clerking in stores, if girls only
knew it. A trained servant in the
household of the rich makes double
the money that the average steno-
grapher or salesgirls makes, when her
living and clothing necessities arc
taken into consideration. Girls are
just beginning to wake up to this
fact and western high school girls

centers where high wages help to
solve the servant problem and are

DEFEAT IN VICTORY.

The citizens committee, thrice
victorious in the courts, twice in the
highest in the state. against the
Hammond's 100000 Industrial
high school is brought face to face
with another question since the
favorable supreme court decision of
last week
The question is: would it he ad-
visable to delay this project for an
other two years, even though victory
were assured If the case should be
carried into the United States
supreme court by the defeated con-
tractors?
N raising this question: there Is no
disposition to detract from the COM
mendation that is due the citizens
committee for it's valiant fight, and
the decisions of the state courts, at
least, show that this committee rep
resening a civic conscience was right
in the stand it took. Its action serv
ed to arouse the whole community to
its rights, and for TINS 1t deserves
public thanks.
It was a fight for principle rather
| than dollars and cents, and the COM
mittee is sufficiently vindicated.
| The legal victory carries with it nc
guarantee however. that the enjoin-
ed contractors would be underbid

That being the case and Hammond
needing its industrial high schoo
sorely, SO much so that a temporary
school building would have to be
built in case the main building is de
layed, it is a vital question for ths
city whether it should hazard a de
lay in the federal court.

more disastrous than defeat and /

THE VALUE OF GOOD TEMPER.
BY JAMES A. EDcERToN

THE VALUE OF GOOD TEMPER.
Allen G. Thurman, 1.-The old Roman"
gave as the first rule of conduct for
young man about to enter public life
this:
Keep a civil tongue In your head"
That is a first rule for other things
besides public life.
Good temper is a business asset.
The winner smiles. The loser frowns.
Don't look like loser.
A crouch frightens away dollars as
we'll as friends
Don't be a crouch.
Your tongue is your advance agent.
Don't permit the advance agent to
queer your show.
There Is an old story of man who
was barred from a club because he
forgot to say. Thank you" to man
who held open door to let him pass
That tale had wide circulation. and.
1t Is safe to say. few who read tt ever
afterward made a similar mistake.
1t is a little thing TO say. Please
for a request or Thank you for a
service rendered. but such little things
go a long way In the success of life.
1t is not so small a thing to hold your
temper in a difficult situation, but 1t
goes quite as far, There are people
who observe these trifies and remem-
Der them either for or against their
author
Keep civil tongue in your head"
The essence of courtesy is thought.
fulness for others. 1t Is the Golden
Rule In practice.
Learn to put yourself in the place OF
others and to regulate your words and
deeds accordingly.
Being amiabIe and considerable will
| finally become habit.
| Every salesman Is schooled in speak
! ing civilly. He has to be. The soft
answer that turneth away wrath is
with him not alone an ethical precept
but business requirement.
The man who never raises his voice
in anger is now counted the ideal bust
ness man.
There are those Of exceptional at
tainments who win even with bad tenn
pers. but they succeed despite this
fault, not because of it.
Let your temper be expended in tho
energy with which you do things. NO
in hasty words
keep civil tongue in your head"

People are queer things.

People are queer things.
There are those who thought when
the parcels post came there would be
an end to all their troubles.
They imagined all sorts of things
about the new proposition.
Now because they can't slap a twa

are damning Uncle Sam and the par

INTEREST IN FLOOD SITUATION.

INTEREST IN FLOOD SITUATION.
Interest in the Indiana flood situa-
ton now centers in the territory in
undated by the lower Wabash, from
Terre Haute to the mouth of the river
on the western border of the extreme
end of the states pocket" The Hells
Neck region is a vast lake and the
river at other points is ten to fifteen
miles WIDE covering lowlands in both
Indiana and Illinois. The melon rails

one to ten feet deep. Patoka river and
both the east and west forks of White
river in Daviess. Pike and Gibson coun-
ties have flooded thousands of acres
of farming land Much damage has been
done. but no lives have been lost.
FARMERS DO NOT WORRY.
| Despite the fact that their homes are
surrounded by water. many of the resi-
dents of the regions Hooded by the Wa
bash river are happy and in good
| spirits Many have taken refuge in the
second stories of their homes, but this
does not seem to worry them, for they
/ fiddle as the rain falls and the river
swells.
A violin or fiddle. as it is called in
the country. can be found in most of
the homes of the farmers living in the
/ wabash valley. And these farmers
find the fiddle a source of much enjoy
ment during seasons of the year when
the Wabash rises out of it's banks and
goes a-visiting among farm-houses
three or four miles away. 1t is then
that the fiddle is cherished and played
almost necessarily.

Oil for BattIeships.

The last American battleship that
will burn coal has been built. The big
ones now building have no coal bunk
ers and no arrangement for burning
coal. They are oil burners.
What is the advantage?" asked a
United States naval officer.
There are many advantage in oil -
he replied. First, we can steam
further with a given number of tons
of oil than with the same number
Of tons of coal. We can also store
the oil more advantageously, for it will
fill corners in a ship where coal could
not be placed
"A very big advantage, however, is
in the reduced number of men re-
quired to handle the boilers. One
man with oil can take the place of
four men shoveling coal Usually the
oil is sprayed into the furnace, but
there are several methods Of applying
the oil"
This officer said that the United
States will have very valuable Oiling

already making to establish oiling
