PLEASED WITH
XMAS SHOPPING

Following the Christmas shopping
rush in Hammond merchants are open
in their declaration that they are high
~ pleased with the holiday trade, and
and not in years have they derived
such a large amount of business Sew
talk of hard times and the scarcity of
money and merchants who had over
stocked their stores for the Christina :
trade became pessimistic
According to a majority of Ham
mond's business men every purchaser
seemed to have plenty of money and
spent more freely than ever before. The
large department stores were crowded
from morning until the doors closed
at night and the daily receipts showed
a large increase. Hammond was the
center of a large out-of-town trade
and ii was also a noticeable fact that
Hammond residents who Were in the
habit of purchasing their holiday gifts
in Chicago traded at home instead
Abe Arkfn. manager OF the Arkin
jewelrysstore at les State street, stated
to TINES reporter this morning that
his trade was the best that it has been
in years, having disposed of more high
priced jewelry than they expected. The
Arkin store specializes in a fine grade
of diamonds and this year sold a large
number of valuable stones.

GIVES FUND
NICE sum

Out of appreciation for the brave
and faithful work of Hammond fire
fighters week ago tonight, Frank s.
Betz head of the worlds largest med
ical and surgical supply house, today
mailed to Chief Dilschneider of the
force check for $3.50 to be placed 10
the credit of the fremen's pension fund
1t was owing to the daring battle of
Hammond fire departments that the
main buildings of the Betz plant were
saved from destruction by flames last
Monday night. Firemen worked beside
walls which they knew might fall at
any minute, burying them in smolder-
ing ruins. In fact, four men narrowly
escaped death with the topping of
wall. Had they stood farther up it
would have caught them.
The chief and Assistant Chief Mill
are delighted. When the men hear of
it they will also feel.verY grateful to
Frank s. Betz. It is by far the largest
donation made to the fund to date.
The check bears a notation For the
boys who never sleep"

TRADE OUTLOOK
APPEARS GOOD

With the passage of the currency
bill there is more disposition on the
part of manufacturers and merchants
generally TO look for a bright lining in
the commercial clouds. and a belief
exists that the turning point is at
hand and that any change will be in
the way Of an Improvement. More In
quiry for steel is noticeable, although
new buying last week was light, but
there is more disposition to look ahead.
The mills are running light and ship
ping more than they are booking. The
prices on finished steel are irregular,
tut many believe that they are about
low enough. The coal trade continues
light in the central districts. but in the
northwest cold weather has increased

such as never before displayed in the

Day after day from opening to clos

reads Tolstci, Furgenof, Gogul and
others whose names are foreign to the
average man. He not only reads these

To see that blooming doctor man who
turned her bones to lime.
My little girl was normal till by chance
word was dropped
In question of her eye-sight-then her
happiness was stopped.
We took her to specialist, who found
her lamps were mixed

to get her fixed

happy as king
The doctor called it adenoids and.

He chopped them out with tailors'
shears, and now we have to watch
The little fellow like hawk, his throat
is such botch.

POINTS OUT
HIS ROADS
DIFFICULTIES

II. c. Green, manager of the Ham
mond, Whiting & East Chicago street
railway, stated today that he has the
hardest problem in the United states
to solve and that he is glad to have the
assistance and cooperation of the pub
lie or the public service commission.
That in substance is the reply of the
manager to the appeal of Charles
Brewbaker and nearly 100 citizens to
the public safety commission at In
dianapolis as told exclusively in THE
TIMES Saturday.
I am willing to meet any man or
body of men. operator or commission"
said he. There is no road in the
United States that is hampered by
railroads as the Hammond Whiting &
East Chicago 1t crosses thirty-fve
tracks"

No Trouble in East Chicago.

Manager Green finds it remarkab u
strange that in East Chicago the Pere
Marquette. for instance, cuts its three
quarter of a mile freights and never
holds a crossing over five minutes,
while in Hammond, a. few miles away,
the same freights will blockade a
crossing for forty minutes. The roads
must be shown that the city means
business and viii not tolerate block
ades,' said he.
1t is from to o'clock in the even
ing that traffic is tied up on the Green
line Last Saturday and Sunday, how
ever, the cars ran on schedule as the
railroads gave little trouble. Manager
Green says that while the line is con-
ton does not lie there The whole
railroads.
THE center of Hammond Is practi-
cally a railroad yard" he said, for
with the block system at the river
trains are lined up all the way back
to the outskirts. The Erie yards run
to Sibley street. Trains tag each 9TH
er and consequently cars are held. On
Wednesday evening the Michigan Gen.
trail held our cars for forty minutes.
1t threw the whole system off. That
blockade should have been broken up
Manager Green told of incidents
where the Indiana Harbor Belt freights
get stuck the Knickerbocker curve
and hold Chicago cars for forty-five
minutes. These excuses the brake
men offer that a knuckle is broken,
etc, ought not to co. he said
