CAMOUFLAGE AND PERSTFIAGE

"Asn reader Of Chicago newspaper in the Calumet region on This
side Of the Indiana state line picked up their papers Oh Christmas uantna
tny were greeted by 72point headlines stating that CHICAGO Is TO RI
CENTER IN MAKING MUNITIONS"
lucky chicago always getting something good" they said. and then
ga" On Wrher wondering in the meantime where the plants we're to be-
located in Chicago. No enlightenment came, however. Instead tbay u-.
amazed to find that overnight the cities of East Chicago. Gary. Hammond
and Indiana Harbor had been moved into Chicago for, as described in The
news stories, all the big gun and muniton making was il be done in IN
our Lake county cities and stl the plants we're from twenty TO thirty
miles away from the windy city.

Years but OF course. as is well known to readers Of this paDer they are n-
pairing to 8 % into the manufacture Of war stuff o a gigantic scale.
hitherto for the Chicago newspapers the Calumet region in Indiana has
been q sorto Of a second Hades, a jumping off place. a territory where bhse
Chicago city editors send their disguised reporters to run up big expense
bills in running down Chicago bandits and gunnnen.
The Chicago newspapers out of pure civic fear and jealousy never ad-
mihd that the Calumet district wa to be the greatest manufacturing dis
trct in the world. but they, pnchng themselves to find if they are really
awake, have finally discovered 10 the south end of them the CvcIona.n
forges and blast furnaces OF the Calumet district.
However it is perhaps tit for tat We are 10 busy down here that we
seldom consider Chicago mor than a town founded by Indians and still full
of them.
Dear old chicagO-the pest jaUe Of a Christmas tide that would be
rather solemn but for-Chicago.
