There is no longer a dearth of nat

court of Hammond begins to issue them |
today after four o'clock, having a
thousand blanks to begin with. The
routine of the court work Will not per-
NIT the issuing of papers before four

part of an order made September
18th, are expected soon and a supple
mental order for six hundred more
blanks has been forwarded by Amos
w. Butler of Indianapolis, clerk of the
u. s. court. Several days ago Judge
Becker sent a telegram to Senator
Shively asking him to use his influence
to get naturalization papers. Clark
Butler also sent a prodding letter to
Washington. AS a result the follow
ing dispatch appeared.
washington oct S.-The naturalfZa-
tion bureau of the department of labor
has been swamped by an unprecedented
demand for naturalization blanks. Loud
calls for such blanks are coming from
Indiana, particularly from the Calum-
ct region, including the cities of Gary
and Hammond, and from Indianapolis.
1t has not been possible for the bur-
eau to supply the demand The de-
partment prints special form of
blank on special brand of paper. and
several days ago the supply of paper
was exhausted by the governme Mt
printing office. In response to tele-
grams of inquiry Senator Kern today
took up the subject with the depart
ment.
The excessive demand for last pa.
pers'' blanks is attributed to the fact
that what is known as the seven
year law, passed in 1906, expired Sep
tember %. Courts are intimating thai
the seven-year Iimitation--the provfs
ion that a last year paper may no
be issued after seven-year period fol
lowing the original declaration has ex
pired-will be applied to the new law
The end of the seven-year period un
der the old law brought a great rush
and 1t has been followed by anothe
rush to take out last papers under tn
new law. Judges that under old con
ditfons would have used thirty blank
in one day are now using as many a
1900.
The naturalization bureau said toda
that additional blanks are being print
ed and will be sent to Indiana With
few days. The bureau expressed tn
belief that a full supply would be pro
vtded not later than next week.

WANDERING TENANT
POOR ADVERTISEMENT
Is Declared to Be the Underlying
Cause of the Big Re-
pair Bills.

The policy of the landlord is an i'm
portant factor in apartment house sue
cess, says the New York Times. The
apartment house owner must determine
which of two policies he is going to fol-
low-whether he is going to keep the
physical condition of his property at par
as far as possible by granting his ten
ants reasonable requests to keep his
house a little better, by giving his ten
ants a little more and as result receiv
ing more in income, or whether he will
follow the opposite course. granting ten
ants as little as possible, making only
such repairs as are absolutely necessary
and squeezing his investment for the
purpose of extracting the last ounce OF
net return.
The consensus of opinion is in favor
of giving and getting. A house gets a
good name and is advertised by its ten
ants This affords the best means OF
obtaining new tenants and Of keeping
the old ones satisfied.
The keynote of the situation is getting
tenants who will stay-the wandering
tenant, due to the incompetent owner. Is
the underlying cause Of the big repair
bills.

Telephone Voice.

From the London Chronicle.
Have you noticed that the woman-with
the treble voice-is supreme at the tele-
phone? The male operator is on duty at
night at the exchanges and is generally
rather nuisance. His bass voice does
not reach, and a call at midnight, il II
involves an argument with the exchange
results in misunderstanding. The tele-
phone girl-snappy, treble and distinct
for me, please.
Mr.. ST. John G. Ervine. writing on the
use of the telephone. declares that the
normal English voice is bad, and that
only the Irish and the Scottish know how
to speak English correctly. This was not
the opinion Of John Lothrop Motley, al
though the American historian found
plenty to criticise in our nation. In a
letter to his wife Motley concludes a
lengthy description of an evening spent
with Macaulay by saying: His voice is
agreeable and its intonations delightful,
