local concern to enter into a contract

going through the high school would
take advantage of the system.

KILLED BY ENGINE;
WAS NO FOUL PLAY
Inquest Does Away With
Suspicion.

Robert Lainster of Lafayette, Ind.
who was killed by a Monon switch
engine at the Fayette street crossing
last week, did not meet with foul play.
according to the testimony that was
brought out in the inquest. The engi-
neer stated that he saw Lainster walk
from behind the crossing watchman's
shanty as his engine neared the
Fayette street crossing. AS the engine
crossed the street Lainster stepped in
front of 1t.
A deep cut across Lainster's chest
first caused suspicion of foul play, but
it developed that the wound was made
by his body being thrown against a
sharp switch. Lainster had both legs
broken off and died at st. Margaret S
Hospital several hours later. His re-
mains were sent to his former home at
Lafayette for interment-

NEED OF CHARITY
LESS THAN USUAL
Open Winter Reduces Want
to Minimum.

Although charity workers of Ham,
mond find plenty of opportunity for an
outlet for their generosity, they are
unanimous that the demands upon
them are not nearly so heavy this year
as they were las winter. The open
weather is largely responsible for this,

Deputy Treasurer William Kolb, in

long WASTED designs.
A general rule is that for slender
figures the full blouse with sleeves SCI
in low, sometimes nearly down to the
elbow, and with its lower edge droop-
ing noticeably over the sash or girdle,
will be found becoming, while for
plumper figures the sleeves are set
higher and the fullness not bloused at
the girdle.
When it comes to suits the sash or
band is sometimes replaced by pep

the figure and cleverly caught to the
peplum in imitation of a sash. On one
of these suits the sash effect was
heightened by ingle end, hanging
from the peplum at the closing, which
was made at the left side with orn-
mental loops and buttons.
This Oriental influence is strong in
the suits made up for summer, many

made with the long blouse.

WHO'S The GAYEST,
WIFE OR HUSBAND?
(By Edna X. Wooley.)

According to everything we hear
and read, mans prime want in wife
is domesticity, while woman's desire
is a husband who will lead her forth
to the theatres, fine restaurants and
gay social gatherings every evening.
Perhaps exception proves the rule
But there seem to be a good many ex
ceptions. Finally lawyers and doctors
those individuals who get close
enough to the inner closet to hear the
skeleton rattle-can tell of men who
go gallivanting away from home be-
cause the wife has turned out too do
nestle for their taste, and of wives
who sigh for rest and husband who
demands constant amusement.
The wife's extravaganza is said to
be one of the main reasons for marital
arrangements and the early death or
insanity of many good men. Yet how
is 1t that so many men wear good
clothes and appear we'll fed, while the
wife stays at home because of her
shabby clothes, wondering how mucn
money her lord and master will have
left for household expense. after he
has provided for his own needs and
entertainment.
