Hammond is vitality interested in
such move as it presents the need Of
amalgamation of the cities of North

munities across the state line and the
growing city Of Gary to the east. Also,
the prohibition move at Springfield.
although not so rosy as the dry meas
ure before the Indiana senate. is of in
terest for it is to be desired that If
Indiana is to go dry the sister state
follow suit.
Property owners on the west side of
State Line street are watching the
legislatures of both states and wonder
ing what the outcome viii be and
what effect If any. il win have on
their holdings
If these property owners imagine in
the event of a dry Indiana and a wet
Illinois that available lots on the west
side Of the state line can be held at a
premium for a new army Of saloon
keepers they are very likely to be dis
appointed. West Hammond now has
thirty-four saloons. and the laws OF
Illinois limit the number Of saloons 10
one for every 500 population. Since
this law became effective no new III
censes have been granted. Five or six
have been repealed and it is a legal
question whether even these can be re-
let Consequently the saloonkeepers
of West Hammond need not fear that
their more unfortunate brothers on
the east side OF the line can horn in
on good thing" in the event of a
dry Indiana.
1t is even question whether any of
the established saloons I'm West Ham
mond Will be moved to the state line.
such a change would entail a great
expense and not knowing when the
state or nation might go dry it is
very probable that the saloonmen
would stay where they are and let the
I business find them. Anyone travelling
! from Gary or East Chicago to the state
line for a drink would be willing to
walk a block or so farther
These are the views of West Ham,
mond men who were interviewed by
la reporter today They are not very
anxious to have the thirsty thousands
from Lake county pouring in on their
lefty and neither do they care about
being absorbed by Chicago.

ICE

Ice is one of the cold, hard
= facts of life that we are forever
humping into; and one of the
few things in this world that's
what it's cracked up to be.
Ice is a paradox. tits used
by cold storage men to make it
hot for the public; and it would
be a cold day for them if they
didn't have it.
Ice was invented by Divine
Providence to keep our rivers
and lakes from freezing to
death. During the summer it
comes in chunks and goes in a
hurry. 1t is what housewives
and saloonkeepers depend on in
July and fall on in January.
Ice is found in the stare of
box-office clerks and on the
shoulders of society leaders.
Married women stand on it in
their bare feet just before they
go to bed. 1t is used by Amer
leans to cool their cocktails and
by polar bears to cool their own
tails.
Ice rides around in big wa
gons and has a good time; and
when it gets tired of life it
melts and runs away.

drive for 100000 new members
throughout the nation and 100000 IN
New York County enters the last week
this morning. The campaign limit has
been extended until next Saturday
night. and 100000 must be added in
Manhattan if the quota is TO be
reached.
In order to reduce the chances OF
fires throughout the city. George {.
Tamblyn. campaign director, yesterday
again requested that the Christmas Eve
ceremony of an illuminated Red Cross
i'm home windows should be performed
only by using a fashlght or a lighted
room. Candles should not be used un-
der any circumstances, he SAID.
All Of the teams engaged IN last
weeks drive will continue their work
this week, and not a single booth is to
be closed. With the exception of Christ
mas Eve and Christmas Day, the work
ers intend to utilize every moment this
week in bringing the membership total
up TO the mark set. Ii is estimated
that to reach the goal the Red Cross
will have to make members of one
fourth the population of the island.
On Wednesday morning all the firms
and business houses that have joined
the "Hundred Per Cent Club" will re-
ceive a special window card bearing
the statement. Every member Of our
