A new angle to the Cook county con-
troversy on Sex Hygiene came to light
in West Hammond today when A G..
Deaver, superintendent of schools, de-
nounced the study as a fad" Further
tan that, he rated it as impractical by
saying that school teachers who are
inexperienced in those matters are not
fitted to give sex instruction. but doc
tors who have spent years In the.
study are the proper candidates for
that job"
Add Manuel Training and Science.
Supt. Deaver is just returned from
visit in the east. This year he be-
lieves will be particularly noteworthy
in West Hammond school history. AL
though he has rejected sex hygiene,
teachers have been secured to introduce
manuel training and domestic science.
It Is beavers way of working out the
salvation of the youth.

BALDWIN PRODUCTION SHOWS

road buying of locomotives has been
subnormal for fully three years, and
there are good authorities who feel
that the equipment shortage OF the
railroads. is really more pronounced in
the tractive department than In cars.
All this, coupled with prospects OF
easier money. affords reasonable
grounds for the expectation of a good
buying movement to begin I'm Septem-
Der or October.

building large locomotive palant in

themselves with the present modest 2
per cent dividend on their shares.
which Is being earned FIVE to six times
over. The East Chicago plant also
means an actual increase in productive
capacity, as the Philadelphia works
will not shrink at all to make room for
the new western plant. The Chicago

$500 freight per locomotive. and this
factor alone in time | slikely to pay a
handsome dividend on the cash invest
