Hamrlonds lake front bathing beach

this summer. judging from the crowds
It has drawn 50 far this year Last
Sunday huge gathering Of sweltering
people obtained relief from the burning
sun by a dip in the lake. and the com
ing Sunday, having every indication of
being lot hotter. should draw a cor
respondingly larger crowd.
Manager Tredebas of the beach is en-
thusiastic over the prospects for this
years swimming season. The bath house
is open now. and the diving RATS and
other equipment for the enjoyment OF
the sport viii be set out as soon as the
crowds start to come IN earnest The

The bath house is amply equipped TO
take care of a record crowd. A plenti-
full supply of suits to be rented. towels
and other things are at hand. and ad-
ditional articles will be obtained as
needed.
A great many people are holding
back from their initial swim of the sea

is going at full swing. ard a large
number of bathers have been in the
water there every day this week.

SENATE IN
OPEN FIGHT
OVER Jobs
Many Senators Experience
Difficulties At The White
House Lately.
BY GEORGE r HOLMES

IsTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. sERYlcEl
WASHINGTON. June II. - Having
been in the White House but little
more than three months and the great
bulk OF patronage distribution yet un-
touched. President Harding's admin
tstration already has come into open
conflict with six republican members
Of the United States senate over the
award OF Jobs to the faithful and it
has encountered less open opposition
from a number OF others.
The senatorial courtesy and con-
sideration.' which was expected to
clear the patronage roads of many
thorns for President Harding. because
Of his having been sitting member
Of the senate when elected 10 tho
presidency. has failed to work as
smoothly as had been anticipated
If the first three months. during
which only the surface has been taken
off the patronage dish. can be taken a.
criterion, it became apparent today
that more serious difficulties are ahead
Of the president in the filling OF thou
sands OF places at his disposal.
Postmasterships have not yet been
approached and there is keen compe-
tition for the Jobs already apparent
The placing OF a majority OF the post
masterships under civil service made
the presidents task great deal
easier, but there is st!ll enough po-
l!tical flavor to the Jobs to cause much
lighting.
Senators Spencer Of Missouri. John
son Of California. Willis Of Ohio. who
occupies President Harding's old seat:
Frelinshupsen os New Jersey. Penrose
OF Pennsylvania, and Lodge OF Massa-
chusetts. are among those who have
experienced patronage difficulties az
the White House. Spencer. Johnson and
willis openly and publicly fought
against the confirmation by the senate
Of some OF the presidents selections.
Most of the difficulty can be traced
back TO state organization fights.
Senator Spencer was the hrst re-
publican senator to break into open
lighting as a result OF appointments
He held UP and almost succeeded IN
defeating the confirmation of Charles
{. Madison to be district attorney in
the Kansas City district
Spencer was followed by Senator
Johnson in his opposition TO David H.
BlaiE the new commissioner OF In
ter7al revenue. Blair was confirmed
Clly after a hard fight had bean
waged against him behind closed doors
In committee.
Now Senator Willis is on the war
path against the appointment OF Chas.
Naut to be internal revenue commits
sioner in the Toledo district. He said
today he would oppose Naut's con-
frmation to the last ditch.
Senator Lodge is understood to be
strongly opposed to the appointment
Of Julius Klein as director of the bu-
reau Of foreign and domestic com
merce. Klein's confirmation has been
held up at any rate.

WHAT'S THE BIG
IDEA ANYWAYi
Hammond City Forcing {
Fight That Will Make III
Pay Scent Toll to West
Hammond.

Most people are willing 70 put up a
strong front to get all that they are
Justly entitled to. but there are times
when the last straw breaks the camels
back.
The city Council in forcing a fight
with the Telephone Company over ra-
tes for service affecting West Ham
u1ond. are beating hornets nest
Even II the city Council whips the
Telephone Company. Hammond VIII
lose a good many thousand dollars a
year. as rates for service IN Hammond
will not be changed. but instead every
telephone subscriber will pay a five
cent toll call every time he rings up
West Hammond. Nowadays II costs
nothing. so that to fight the Telephone
Company to force tho people OF Ham
mond 10 pay a ave cent toll call to
West Hammond seems like philanth-
ropy TO the Telephone Company. But
the people of Hammond should not be
called upon to foot the bill Cor a class
or telephone service WElcn Lne CoNn-
pany now give US for nothing. because
there IS q spirit of generosity floating
around by some people who are willing
to pay for it.
\ five cent toll call TO West Ham
mond is a crime. Nobody wants It.
Why fight to get the privilege Of paying
1t and shovel into the coffess cS this
corporation a small fortune every year
which could be better spent in Ham
mond and we need in our community.

ResorterS
Shocked At
Bath Garb
Censorship at Waverly
Beach Advocated by
Dowagers

What constitutes a fair standard of
modesty In a young wouans bathing
costume?
The dowagcrs who watch the passing
show from the screened porches OF the
cottages at Waverly Beach are debating
the question Of censorship. II is pro-
posed to establish rules and regulations
covering girls bathing suits and to
patrol the beach at night.
The costumes are scantieY this year
than ever before, the dowagers declare.
Tho one-piece bathing suit with V
shaped back is much in evidence. Co.
eds from Chicago schools have been
making weekend so-journs in the dun
es at II Is said they don their athle-
tic bathing suits Friday evening and
wear them until Monday morning.
These bachelor girls have rented cot
tages.
MY goodness" one OF the co-eds ex-
claimed when told OF the proposed cen
sorship. is It possible that they ex-
pect a girl to wear skirted bathing
suit and stockings In this day and age?
We come to the dunes to be away from
the crowded beaches and the fashion
able resorts. We are living by our
selves nearly a mile away from the
regular bathing place and I can't for
tho life OF me understand how any one
can be so narrow minded as 70 criti-
cize us for wearing one-piece suits. It
is so difficult 10 swim in any other
kind. All this talk is prompted by
jealousy"
The seif-appointed censors are said
to have served notice on the bathhouse
proprietors al Waverly beach that all
suits must have a skirt attached ex-
tending at least 2 third of the way to
the knees and that they must not be
cut so low under the arms.
Spooning on the beach at night IS al
so Objectionable. On hot nights. II is
claimed. the spooners are in evidence
until long after midnight. sometimes as
late as 2 o'clock in the morning.

Taxes must come down. County off,
cials. including the members of the
county council and county board OF
commissioners have determined upon
a regime OF strict economy to reduce
the cost of government to conform
with the lowered cost Of living and
lower wages.
Although county taxes were only q
cent higher this year. every effort will
be made to return the expenses OF the
county government to bhn pre-war
level. The county purse strings are
pulled tight. Expenditures are to be
made with the greatest care and con-
servation.
City and township taxes are all out
Of proportion. Il is said. and the county
is blamed by many taxpayers for the
extravagances of city councils ana
the high cost Of maintaining the

ONIONS BY
CAR LOAD
ARE WASTED
Employers Of Railroad Com
pany Get Orders To Unload
At Clarke Station Dump.

Who Is responsible for the order
given to employees OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad company at Clark Station.
just west of the city limits OF Gary
to destroy three large gondola car
loads OF valuable onions.
This Is the question that IS being
asked by Gary ana county officials to-
day and has resulted In an investiga-
cials for several days.
The information that three car loads
Of onions " ere to be dumped from the
cars at the Clark Station dump. came
to the officials attention early this
week when railroad detectives caused
the arrest Of three persons for taking
some Of the onions which several more
days will be rotting beside the tracks.
The case which was set in the Gary
city court for this morning was post
poned. probably pending the probe
According to Information received
from employees at Clark Station yes
terday. the three cars OF onions have
been there for nearly a week and an
order has now been received, to unload
them at the dump.
Yesterday Prosecuting Attorney
Dwight NJ. Kinder made a trip 20
Clark station to learn the truth and
was told by employees OF the Pennsyl-
vania that the onions were to be
dumped.
But why? With onions a scarcity AT
this time of the year and being sold at
the markets at outrageous prices
Yesterday Bermuda onions were quot
ed on the market at a price ranging
from $1.55 to s2.oo a crate. At the
stores by the pound they bring even
more fancy prices.
According to one railroad employe
il Is unusual to ship perishable goods
in open cars and onions are listed
among perishable articles. The onions
were sacked and although many of
them has started to sprout and rotted
from the exposure to the rain and sun
probably more than fifty per cent OF
the onions are still edible.
The Times In the past has exposed
many cases where potatoes have bean
dumped at sidings by a different rail-
road companies and permitted to rot.
when thousands OF half starved idle
workmen would have been glad to get
them for their families For no other
reason probably like the dumping Of
the three cars OF onions this was done
to keep up the scarcity and high
market prices.
According to one Gary man today.
If the three cars had been shipped to
Gary and placed on siding the onions
would have been disposed OF in no
time to the families OF the thousands
of idle workmen. many OF them who
have hardly anything to put on tneir
tables. Physicians state that there is
also a great deal OF nourishment in
onions.
The Times recently made the SEN
sational exposure. that thousands OF
gallons OF SKINNED milk was being
poured into the sewers OF Gary and
other cities OF the county. As a result
the SKINNED milk is now being given
away and Is helping feed the idle
army.
