owners had failed TO get them onto
the ways for the winter.
The anchorage OF the North Beach
Yacht Club was dotted with motor

most OF them had been blown ashore

believed TO bo better on than the
others. for they can be raised and re-

wrecked.
The Weather Bureau reported
wind velocity OF only thirty-five miles

Edward i. Doyle. Chairman Of the
Budget Committee OF the Real Estate
Board. appeared before the Board OF
Estimate to-day and showed how. in
his opinion. $9.4O5,64s could be saved
in the 1918 budget by the elimination
Of certain city departments and bu-
reaus.
I'VE believe" said Mr.. Doyle, that
the City Chamberlain's Office should
receive only sufficient money 10 take
care OF 1t until legislation can be pro-
cured in January TO abolish It.. We
believe the office OF Commissioner Of
Accounts. which investigates and
studies morely, should either be abol-
ished or its activities suspended dur
ing the period of the war. We feel
that the various extraordinary activi-
ties OF the Board ot Health and the
Department OF Charities. excellent
enough perhaps in their way, should
be abolished during the period OF the
war, except such activities as are
absolutely necessary TO take care OF
those mentally and physically unable
TO take care of themselves. The vari-
Gus paid committees OF the Board of
Estimate. the Central Purchasing
Committee and the Board of lnebriety
should be abolished or their activities
suspended during the war.

Why the Calumet Region"
First-Because of its unequalled

Third-Its labor supply.
Fourth-Its harbors, railroads and

These were the summed points Of DR..
H r. DeBra, Gary. superintendent of
the Calumet missionaries of the Metho-
dist church. on the vast Importance OF
this region 10 the steel industry. before
a good sized congregation at the Metho-
dist church last night.
Thirty years ago 1 travelled OK
tensively between Chicago and New
York. It was then I first realized that
the great waste 81 sand along the
shores Of Lake Michigan would some
day be the home OF the greatest steel
mills in the world. In the course Of ten
years this section will be congested. I
anticipate that over 100000 people will
be living here. Steel mills will line
the shores from here TO Michigan City.
Nothing can stop it,
steel officials. I learn from good au-
thority. are now planning 10 double
their working capacity" in part said Dr.

raise a quarter of a million dollars for
the purpose of erecting mission homes

DROWNING
CLAIMS 4
NEW VICTIM

The toll OF another life was taken by
the waters OF the deep water canal at
East Chicago yesterday.
Walter Dlugosz. who lived with his
brother-in-law at SOP Chicago avenue.
over the Pinscak saloon. was in bath
ing just west of White Oak avenue. Two
men and two boys were there at the
time but were not able to render him
any assistance.
Word was brought TO the police sta
10 years old and every effort was mao<
to get quickly to the scene Of the acct
DENT.
The police department. however is
not equipped with any facilities for
handling exeditiously an accident Of this
kind and II was probably an hour be-
fore a boat could be secured and any
search could be made. James ODon-
mel however, again came forward with
his motor boat and the waters were
dragged for the body. About $50 the
body was recovered and taken to Flies
morgue.
Dlugosz was 21 years old and an Aus
trian by birth. He had joined Company
L under Captain Twyman. but never
showed UP TOT ph%Slca4 examination.
lie was registered from the second pre-
cinct, card No. pa. serial No. as
This is the fourth time that Mr..
ODonnell has responded to the call for
help in cases Of this kind. No matter
in what he may be engaged or what in
convenience IL may impose upon him, he
drops everything and rushes to the res
cue. This is all the more commendable
when it IS known shat there II no pro-
vision made for any recon- pense for
this sort Of work
Nov that the chief of police is to
have a runabout. this should be supple
mented with trailer that is equipped
with a boat and all facilities for rend-
ering assistance in cases Of drowning.
This could be done without much ex-
pense and is a necessar adjunct 70 the
protection and preservation of life in
the city. Tie three and a half miles of
canal within he city and the lake front
bathing beach are attractions that are
sure each season TO develop need for
quick action in rescuing persons from
drowning.
