Do YOUR
SHOPPING
At HOME.
Hammond Merchants Car
rying Splendid Lines Will
Stimulate Industry if
Buying is Not Curtailed.

Nothing but one round Of Ham
mond's up-to-date stores and shops is
necessary to convince the most skep-
teal that never in the history Of the
city have they been so thoroughly
equipped TO meet an exacting holiday
trade as they are this season. Splen-
did stocks of holiday gifts and sea-
sonable merchandise have been put on
exhibition for Christmas trade and
thousands OF exceptional bargains are
offered holiday shoppers.
Never was IL more necessary to ask
the people of Hammond to conhne
their shopping activities to the nome
stores as much as possible as ii Is
now. Business men over the country
are making strenuous effort to dght
stagnation in trade In the face OF !
falling market. Good times work in a
circle. If the goods on the merchants
shelves are moved new orders for fac
tories are rushed and # the factories
keep busy, unemployment is no longer
a buEaboo and a nightmare.
HOW TO KEEP FACTORIES BUSY.
There is but one way to keep the
factories busy and that is to give them
plenty of orders to start them run
ming full time and there Is but one
way 70 keep the merchant ordering
and that IS TO buy Business men are
endeavorinE to educate the public 70
the basic facts underlying Industrial
stagnation. They have to deal IN
facts and not theories. It is compare.
lively easy for the public to assist in
the campaign at this season OF the
year when everybody purchases
Christmas presents
1t is certain that business is doing
it's full share 10 meet the public half
way. Prices have been slashed to the
point where not only is there no profit
in many cases but often there are
losses
MERCHANTS CUTTING PRICES
It is cheaper for many merchants to
pocket loss now than to have to
keep the goods they have and pur-
chased at a higher figure and be un-
able to purchase lower priced goods
year from now. not next spring but
next fall goods go in seasons. The
loop from winter goods to winter
goods is e. year. a fact which the pub
lie is prone 10 overlook.
It is evident that practically all
Hammond merchants are making de-
termined effort TO rid their shelves OF
to holiday presents as quickly as pos
sible. They know this Is the safe way.
Now 1t is up to the public to take ad-
vantage of their opportunity.
THE PUBLIC CAN FOOL ITSELF.
The idea has been advanced IN some
circles entirely uniformed that mer-
chants and newspapers are endeavor-
ing to put something over the public.
Nothing is more erroneous. manufac-
turers have pleaded with merchants to
do their share toward lettering condi-
tions that exist. the merchants have
decided in turn on q course OF action
that will mean a betterment all
around. There is no attempt TO fool
the public. but there is danger that
by holding back the purchase OF ne
eesities the public will fool itself.
These problems deserve grave thought
on the part of the public The home
merchant who keeps the wheels turn
ing needs support. Shoppers should
make it a rule to buy OF the home mer-
chant wherever it is possible

most important session OF the federal

exception Of some special inquiries
Will start Monday when Judge Ander-
son gives his instructions 10 the grand
jurors. The scope Of the investiga-
tions to be made viii result in every
section of Indiana being affected and
the matters to be presented will be Of
unusual public interest. II is reported
that Lake county will be interested IN
the sessions.
In recent sessions OF the reguYar T

the bins returned were for minor Of

From reliable officials comes tn,
word that the grand jury is 70 investi-

startling indictments which will touch
the men higher UP in many communi-

have been turned over TO the United

grist Of post office and national bank

The overthrow of the Indiana coal
and food commission act may not
mark the end Of litigation in the fed

for hearing in January, the coal con-
spiracy case.
COAL INDUSTRY AFFECTED.
From past events it is not likely
that the case viii ever result in ao-
tions which viii remedy the apparent
faults in the coal industry. Yet it =
known that the department Of justice
and the United States district attorney
have been conducting an investigation
OF the coal industry for monthss anu
when the conspiracy case was UP In
federal court several weeks ago the
information was given by Attorney
Van Euys that further Indictments in
the coal trade might be expected.
BY reason Of the location Of the
miners headquarters in indianapolis
and the fact that Indiana is one Of the
great centers Of the coal industry the
federal court os this district Is natur-
ally the one to assume jurisdiction in
any nation wide probe relating 70 the

The last annual report of the bu-
reau OF standards states that members
of the bureaus staff have developed
very successful methods Of communi-
eating with submerged submarines by
radio-telegraphy. With single-turn
coil or loop attached 10 the outside Of
the submarine, signals can be received
as well when the vessel is submerged
as when IL is at the surface. II is
also possible 20 transmit from n sub
merged submarine distance of l.
miles. Thus IL becomes possible for
ship and submarine TO exchange
recognition signals. \ coil aerial is
n satisfactory direction finder when
submerged and readily receives signals
transmitted thousands Of miles, just
the same as when used i'm the air. The
navy has equipped It's larger subma-
rines with this apparatus.-Scientific

BOX COATS AND ETON SUITS
Garments Which Are Responsible for
Bringing the Blouse Into
New Prominence.

Blouses have come into new promi-
hence. The box coat and the Elton
suit, both of which require a pretty
blouse, have been largely responsible
for the renewed interest in them.
There is really little change in the
form of blouses, but IL is interesting
10 observe the materials employed and
the methods OF trimming. Voiles and
taffetas are most in demand-voile be-
ing in the lead.
The passing OF filet lace is note
worthy Some models trimmed with
filet are selling. but no really smart
blouse features IT, This good. sub
stantial and practical lace was con-
spicuous as garniture for the best
of blouses and neckwear for long
time: but fashion demands change,
so filet is supplanted by Irish and
Valenciennes laces. Another reason
for the supplanting OF this favorite is
due 10 the fact that II Is easily imi-
tated. All its patterns have been
cheaply copied.

VOGUE FOR FLOATING Wells
Style Is in Keeping With Use of GUAM
titles Of Net and laces
in Dresses.

With the use of quantities of net
and lace in dresses the vogue for
floating wells does not come as a sur
prise. This fashion is entirely in
keeping with the very feminine touches
that the sheer materials give to dress
Hats of the plainest and most Sc
we're type have no trimming other than
veil. The craze of the moment is
the brown veil as q garniture for the
black hat. The very coarse, highly
CLOSED black braids are used for a
small round turban, over which is
draped a tobacco-brown veil having n
medallion fitting over the crown of
the hat and an embroidered border on
four sides Of the veil. Sometimes the
veil is neatly tied in place and the
border forms tiny shadowy edge for
the turban. Again. II is allowed to
hang in streaming corners. When the
shape is of more individuality and
height a tObacco-brown ribbon in satin
cire is sometimes used in addition to
the tObacco-brown embroidered veil.
