Closed Season for Mikes
Causes Cops to Pick Less
Euphoneous Moniker.

The new auto patrol wagon In East
Chicago has been christened and its
name is Dennis" The officers at the
station had agreed. with but one dis-
senting voice, that the machine be
named for the first person who was
brought in in II. Sergeant Mike Cor
man was the only one to protest
against the plan. He arbitrarily IN
sisted the machine be called Mike
regardless of the name OF the 1rst
prisoner to ride in it, and when he was
voted down. the Sergeant Immediately
started on gum shoe hunt for any
old Mike that would lay himself liable
to a pinch But yesterday seemed to
be the closed season for hayward
Mikes and the officer was compelled to
return to the station without having
run across a single offender of that
name.
Hard luck, Mike said sergeant
weifenbach to the crestfallen officer.
Now IL it had only been ST. Patrfcks'
dav instead of New Years the new
wagon would have had hot box by

HOPES TO OBTAIN BEST RESULTS.
This movement is now being furth
cred in every way by the Chicago Geo
graphic society, which hopes soon to
obtain some definite results in its plan
to preserve this great glacial region for
educational work.
The proposal for a school of horti-
culture in connection with the parks
and territory the society proposes
should be reserved. is intended as a
school for practical education to gard
ners. fruit growers, florists and land
scape artists. The present plans con-
template the location of this school In
the sand dunes of northwestern 1ndf-
ana near the town of Chesterton.
The prospectus of the proposed
school of horticulture calls for 1000 &c
1000 acres for the school, the buildings
and land estimated to cost 100000. As

INJURIES TWO

Two men were hurt. neither serious
ly however in motorcycle accident
which occurred on 151st street about 6'
o'clocks last evening in Indiana Har-
Dor.
John Matiski of 4944 Barring avenue
was on his way to the Goldschmidt De-
DINING Works where he is employed
when he was run down by Gus Kaiser
who was riding a motorcycle, Mr..
Kaiser is employed at the United
states Metals Refining Companys plant
and was also on his way TO work. Ow-
ing to the darkness Kaiser did not see
Matiski until it too late to avoid
the collision. The police were notified
and the new patrol was soon on the
ground. Both men were put in the ma
chine. on stretchers, and were taken
to Schlieker's drug store where they
were given attention by DR.. a. A. Ross.
They both sustained injuries in the
back but no bones were broken and 1t
is thought they will both be up and
around in a short time
Matiski was taken to his home in the
patorl ambulance while II. Reed,
master mechanic at the United States
Metals Refining plant took Kaiser
home. The latter lives at Carroll and
Walter streets in Hammond.

to be short of money for the next two

its report ready to place on the desks

The iron and steel trade will review
the year 1912 and reach the conclusion
that its characterization as either
prince or a pauper is an accurately
one. Throughout nearly
the entire year of 1911 its experiences
were very nearly, If not exactly. IN
alignment with those of the pauper.
Prices had continued to decline until
profits had reached the vanishing point
and demand fell far short of giving OPP
porunity to operate plants at any de-
sirable rate of production. Industries
upon which the iron and steel trade de-
ponds languished in a state of inactvi-
ty throughout most of the year. Be-
fore the year 1912 had fairly started
the steel trade gave unmistakable evil
dences of returning activity and order
books began to fill. AS usual. the re-
vival of trade was considered at first
to be only temporary, but as time went
on the rate of activity increased and
the volume of delnan quickly absorbed
full producing capacity. This condi-
ton stimulated manufacturers to give
some consideration to prices. as well
as to volume. Prices of iron and steel
products began an upward trend. and.
while the trade has not yet reached the
status of a prince. it may be say to be

Manufacturers Conservative.
The most interesting phase of this
revival in demand for iron and steel
products. perhaps. is the conservatism
displayed by manufacturers in avail
ing themselves of opportunity to obtain
better prices. Under similar trade con-
ditions in the past manufacturers have
shown tendency quickly to seize upon
such an opportunity to recoup through
suddenly advanced prices all of the
profits which were not earned during
the preceding period of. trade depres-
sion. To a certain extent during thu
year 1912 some manufacturers have
yielded to the opportunities Of thu
trade for quick deliveries and have &C
cepted so-called premiums for promp
deliveries But this seems to hav'
been done only in few rare cases.

matter much study through his work
on that committee. In the senate. it is
also practically certain that Senator
