PROPHESY WAS CORRECT.

THE TIMES Real Estate edition,
published April II, 1912, f~orecasted
the development of Fifth avenue as
the second most important street In
Gary and within one year attention
has been attracted from Broadway to
the remarkable development that is
taking place On this street.
Nothing could better indicate how
closely in touch with the general
real estate situation THE TIMES is.
The prophesy as printed in THE
TIMES on that date is as follows:
But while Broadway will always
be the show street of Gary 1t may
not always be the most important
street commercially. AT one end of
Broadway is the steel mills; at the
other nothing. Broadway just ex-
tends and extends but 1t does not
connect Gary with any other great
center of population. 1t viii
doubtless some day be the main
artery through which the suburban
population will come into Gary but
that is a long way Off.
1T is a good guess that Fifth
| AVENUE Al 1dTy Will De inc more
important commercial street in an
other FIVE or ten years. Fifth ave-
nue. is not as wide and snowy a
street as broadway but 1t traverses
a territory that is full of ~possibili-
| ties.
1T Is being rapidly extended
westward to the Cline avenue
where II will divide its traffic.
Part of 1T will go thy to One
| Hundred and FIfty-frst street and !.
| thence ~northward into Indiana
| Harbor and westward to East Chi
| cago and on to the northern portion
| of
The other part of this traffic
will go southwark on Cline avenue
to the road occupied by the Gary
& Interurban railroad on the sec
| ton line and thence directly into
: business district.

CON

A short while G a certain Gary
paper gravely drooled that it was go
ing to install music in it's editorial
rooms to influence It's reporters In
writing stories.
Much d was made over it and
there was a sort of anti-climax to the
.yipping when it was revealed that
the music was just that of a squeaky
photograph instead of the SOU stir
ring drum, the ear piercing fife, the
lascivious pleasing of the lutte. the
|plaintive flageolet. the self-satisfied
cello or the pink-pankeof the banjo.

Fifth avenue. 1t will be seen, is
to become the main east and west
artery of traffic etween the cities
of North township and the cities of
u township. 1t Is the most
direct route from both East Chi
cago and Hammond. and that
means from Chicago. to the Magic
City. 1t lies just south of the
great manufacturing district that
is now in the process of building
along 10Th banks OF the Grand
Calumet"
This calls attention to the fact tina
the city of Hammond should follow
the lead of the cities Of East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor in taking up thi
thoroughfare, opening and improving

DEGENERATE MUSIC.

We are approaching the distinct
American type more rapidly than we
imagine. We seemingly respond to a
rhythm peculiarly American, and In
nothing is this more apparent than
in u dancing and in our music.
Not long ago a dancing master who
is making a success of his profession
in the Calumet region, made the
statement in private conversation,
that 1T is almost an impossibility tc
teach the present generation the step
of the old fashioned waltz. Our
young folks waltz it is true he says,
but instead of emphasizing the third
beat as did the dancers of twenty
years ago. they prefer to put action
into this easy going movement and
emphasize the second. Well, this is
their generation and their privilege.
1t is with more regret by far however,
that n observes the degenerating
taste for music. This taste has been
deplored year in and year out. in
season and out. What we mean. is

LOVE AND RICHES.

Love may laugh at locksmiths but
he SHES at money That is the ex-
p%erience of Miss Thyra Benson, worth
a few millions who became the bride
of Montague Flagg the noted archi-
tect, in Grace Episcopal church, in
New York City, today.
The bride met her husband while
engaged in ph~ilanthropic work. She
feared hat some man would marry
her for her money, SO posed as a poor
girl. When Mr.. Flagg found out how
much she was really worth, the match
came near to being broken off. until
Cupid asserted himself and said that
his plans should not be interrupted

Cupid to disguise himself as a beggar
maid again SO he can pull off a few
