SOUTH SHORE STREET
CATCHES AF|RE

Patrons of the South Shore line this
morning had a thrill when the city car
leaving East Chicago at eight o'clock
for Indiana Harbor caught fire at Chi
cago and Forsythe avenues and it was
necessary to call the fire department to
put out the blaze. Although smoke
poured from the lower part of the car
a number of the passengers remained
calmly seated until the fire department
arrived and tho firemen started to chop
a hole in the floor.
The Are was caused by short circuit
N the driving motor and before the
trouble was discovered the FLAMES had
spread to the floor of the car. Flames
and chemicals placed the motor out of
commission and 1t was necessary to
push the car to the barns for repairs.

These figures show the total regis
tration for the county outside of the
cities of Hammond. Gary and East Chi
cago to be IS less than in 1918. This
bears out early predictions as it was
believed the townships would show a
lower vote in spite of the fact that
women are,now included. This is due to
the heavy movement from the country
10 the cities during the last few years,
especially among the young men.
Three of the townships show heavier
registration of women than men.
