WHOEVER HEARD Of
GREASELESS GARAGE
Anyway His Wife Said He
Got Too Dirty At His
Job.

Floyd Cannon Of Hammond IS an au-
to mechanic. He gets greasy and dirty
every day while following his trade.
Because of that daily accumulation OF
CRIME he has no Wife today. She fat
ly refused to live with him.
Cannon and his wife, Anna, wefc
married April %. 1919. First of all
Anna took a dislike to Hammond For
some reason she decided she wouldn't
I've in the town SO she left. That
was on September l, 1920. Prior to
Chat she had been causing Floyd no
end of trouble. She stayed out late
at night and told him it was none of
his business when he asked where she
had been. He turned all his pay with
the exception OF a few cents over to her
and that would be the last he would
see of it.
Anna refused to give an accounting
of her spendings. Whenever an argu-
ment arose she would become angry
and bring up lot of things which hap
pened before their marriage and which
had nothing TO do with the case in
hand. Floyd tried to agree on every
thing but refused to back dowrr when
she demanded that he quit his job
at the garage. She declared she would
not live man who had to get dirty
anyway
That ended it. Anna went to Chi
iago and Floyd IS now sueing for di-
vorce in the superior court at Ham
mond- Z. G. Sproat is his attorney.

FINAL Step
TO MAXI: It
A REALITY
Congressional Consent for a
Bi-State Agreement
Necessary.

The final step necessary to make
the process OF being consummated- l.
Major Henry w Lee, representing the
Wolf Lake Harbor Commission. is in
Washington for the purpose of gain
ing congressional consent TO the
agreement to DE entered into between
the states OF Illinois and Indiana.
While this step is mere formaiity.
and no trouble IS expected In getting
the sanction OF congress. 1t is never
theless necessary under the constitu-
ton OF tho United States.
The Harbor Commission IS made UP
Of Col. walter ]. Riley. East Chicago.
and E r. Erskine. South Bend. rep
resenting Indiana, and Col. Miller.
head of the department OF public
works and buildings. and Supt-
Sackett OF the waterways division of
this department. representing Illinois
The official step necessary Is to have
a resolutan passed by congress au-
thorising the secretary OF war and
chief OF L. S. engineers to appoint a
commissioner to represent the gov
eminent and act with the representa-
tives OF the two states involved.
The commission will report on the
feasab bility OF the plans for the har-
Dor which have been drawn by Col.
Judson. head Of the Chicago division
OF u. s. engineers. After this step.
II will be up to the states to establish
a permanent commission. which will
construct. maintain and operate the
Interstate harbor.
1t is esti amdetatht ET AETA EFT
It IS estimated that the United
States government will expend be-
tween six and eight million dollars in
the construction OF the outer break
water and for the necessary dredging
behind it as far IN as the entrance
of the basin in Wolf Lake.
With the opening of the St. Law
renee canal. the harbor will be avail
able to ships from all parts of the
world. Its unequaled railroad con-
nections. the Calumet link to the
Lakes Gulf Waterway. the central To-
cation in the midst of 500 factories
give a strategic position without
parallel on earth.
If legislation and construction pro-
cede without undue delay. work on
the harbor should begin within three
years and continue almost indefinite
mands of commerce.
Major Lee, who has been actively
interested in the development Of the
harbor for Is years, will return from
Washington in a few days.

DES MONIES, Ia. Aug. 3.--Street
car service in Des Moines will stop for
an indefinite period at midnight to-
night.
Judge Martin =. Wade in the fed
eral court has handed down an order
permitting the Des Moines City Ha,f-
wya Co. to cease operations The
order was given on application Of bond
holders who claimed that the COM
pany had no prospects of being eble
to pay expenses.
The company has been operating
under an eight-cent fare. Motor
buses have been competing with the
street car system on a fve-cent fare
basis The street railway officials at
tribute their financial difficulties tc
the competition of the buses.
The bus companies have offered to
take over the entire transportation
situation on hve-cent fare and two
cent transfer basis but they are de-
nanding q five year franchise.
No action has been taken by the
city council as yet in the situation
arising out of the proposed suspension
Of the street car lines. Heretofore the
council has apparently regarded the
threat OF the company to suspend op-
erations as a bluff. IL Is expect ed
that today's meeting OF the council
however will consider what action is
to be taken.

BUSINESS

Government Experts Say Re-
ports Show Lowest Level
Has Been Reached.

WASHINGTON. Au. 3.-The bust
which has been steady since December
l. 1919. has reached its lowest level,
and from now on a. general improve
ment should be noted that gradually
will put things back to normal.
This is the deduction OF govern
ment experts from facts and figures in
their possession that are soon to be
made public. These figures have been
compiled by the treasury, agriculture
and labor departments, and have been
collated by the commerce department
mes ssituation.
Contention OF experts that business
gradually will become better from
now on is based chiefly on four sets OF
figures. from which the following con
clusions have been drawn:
Returns from the savings banks
show that savings have largely
increased, indicating no lack OF
confidence OF the public in the
banks.
Production statistics from all
over the country show that labor
has become more efficient. This
is shown in the fact that while
there is no decrease in unemploy
ment, there is a noticeably large
increase in production.
COST OF CROPS LESS.
Figures of the department OF
agriculture show that there will
be a good crop generally In tho
country this year and that this
crop will be produced at q snucn
lower cost than was last years
crop. making it possible for tn.
farmers to demand less for their
products and still make q profit.
The general banking situation
has eased up. as shown from the
statement given out recently at
the White House, showing the
reductions in redIscount rates by
the various federal reserve banks.
