FRANK GAVT SCENTS
NEW GARAGE MYSTERY
Gary Man Finds Supposed
Stolen Car Back Home
in Garage

Attorney Frank Gavit Of Gary drove
his big Hudson car to Hammond yes
terday afternoon and took the Monor
train for Indianapolis. HIS son-in-law
Dixon woodward, came over later with
the intention of taking the car home
again. He had been informed that II
would be found standing at the curb by
the Monon depot
Woodward found no such automobile
and at once notified the Hammond police
Search was instituted by the police bu-
the car could not be found. It was list
ed as stolen and word was sent broad
cast requesting the police and detective
bureaus of neighboring cities to be or
the lookout for IL.
Satisfied that he had done everything
that could be done. woodward returned
to Gary. There he found the Hudson
in the Gavit garage. So far there has
been no explanation OF the mystery bus
the conjecture is that the lawyer forgot
his arrangements with woodward and
hired another man to take # home for
him.

AND THIS IS WAY
We TREAT SOLDIERS
Charge Made That Disabled
Vets are Housed in
Fire Traps

WASHINGTON. Feb, 6-Approxi-
mately eight thousand American sol
diers who were wounded or who con-
tracted disease during the world war
are eooped up in various institutions
throug ghout the United states where
they would never have an opportunity
to escape with their lives il a con
fiagration should occur, according to Il
statement made today by Ewing La
porte, assistant secretary Of the treas
ury. who as supervisor of the public
health service has charge OF the treat
ment OF disabled veterans. Hospital
facilities of the public health service
were taxed 10 the limit before the
war. Laporte said, and since the re-
turn of American trops from abroad
they have proved inadequate. i has
been almost impossible. he declared, to
provide proper medical treatment for
all the patients who have been thrust
upon the service.
THE public health service" said La
porte. has only two hospitals which
are modern in their equipment and af-
ford ample facilities for treatment Of
soldiers One Is located At Johnson
City. Tenn. where one thousand tuber-
cular patients are being treated, The
other is at Marion. Ind. where ono
thousand insane veterans are being
cared for"
More than l3o 900 American soldiers
have been treated by the public health
service since the close Of hostuties, La
portesaid. while they have been
quartered in some sixty-four so-called
hospitals scattered throughout the
country" he continued. "the vast ma
jority of these institutions are nothing
but fire traps-remodele hotels and
abandoned barracks. At the present
time the service is rendering aid to
some $1,000 diseased and maimeo yet
Grams, and this number is being in
creased by at least 1000 per month.
II you have never tried the expert
ment you may not know that it is a
very difficult problem 70 maintain
1000 beds under a single roof, But
that is what the public health service
is being called on to do at present"

Welt decided TO make a trip to Indiana
Harbor, to see the girl Of his dreams,

for each to decide that they were
meant for one another.
