HAMMOND
IN NET WORK
Of BUS LINES
Grown Point Line Last Spoke
In Motor Wheel Serving
Calumet Region

Hammond's strategic industrial po-
sition due to its manifold railroad fa-
cilities. Is fast being augmented by its
growing trade advantage. This is
due TO motor transportation that con-
meets Hammond with cities. villages
and towns in both Indiana and Him
ois A veritable net work OF bus lines
leads out in every direction from it.
The inauguration OF motor bus ser
vice TO Crown Point has opened a new
territory from which trade Will be
drawn to Hammond stores. The Crown
Point Hammond buses which began
running Friday pass through the Ridge
road district from Hessville TO south.
The fare TO Crown Point is s1.o0 with
proportionate rates to intervening
points. The bus leaves Hammond at
500 d m. 100 p. m. and 700 p. IN.
and the running time is hfty-hve min

The Chicago Heights bus line has
been running for months and is an es
tablished success. II passes through

BUS line has long been an assured sue

There is also a bus from East Ham

Another innovation is the automo-

reasonable rate Of thirty-ive cents.
The motor cars leave Holman and

trip IN thirty minutes
The interurbans and street railways
are sorely hit by the motor bus trans
portation. There IS growing sentl-
slent on the part of the public that tn
street railways have passed their
height OF their usefulness, and espec-
tally those that have not kept rhel

ton and do not supply frequent service.

POST BROKE
NEEDS HELP
FOR JObLESS

Due to the efforts Of the Hammond
Post of the American Legion TO lend
a hand to ex-service men who are tenn
porarily out of luck the posts treas
ury is practically empty today. Yet
the number of men seeking aid is in
creasing daily.
Few people realize what we have
been up against here" says W. f.
Long. commander Of the Hammond
post. we started out with the in
tention of helping worthy ex-service
men. We tried to find them jobs ana
while they were getting on their feet
we helped them financially. If a man
was stranded in Hammond and want
ed to get home we bought him a meal
and a ticket and started him on his
way
He says that in the last month ne
and other officers of the Legion have
been able to place about thirty-fve
men in jobs. Each case has meant
that Mr.. Long or another officer has
lost half a day or more from his own
work in hunting work for the stranded
friend. 1t Is expensive business.
Many people are inclined 10 think
that since the bulk of the boys have
been home a year or more they should
be settled by his time and able IL take
care of themselves. II. -ong says
that many of the men now applying
for aid have only recently been turned
out Of hospitals. often without a cent
of money.
Only a few days ago a young man
with one hand in a sling called Mr..
Long aside and in a husky voice told
him he was broke. He said he was on
his way 10 his home at South Bend.
He had never in his life asked anyone
for a lift before. but had finally been
forced to give in.
He was a strapping big fellow. From
an inside pocket he produced the dec
orations he hac won overseas He
had everything that a soldier could be
awarded" said Long. Il never saw
such an array of crosses and medals
Then he pulled out his discharge pa
pers. The blank space WIS written
full Of special mention Of different acts
of bravery. The margins of the paper
were also filled.
Then he told me that he had been
injured in an accident in Chicago short
ly after being discharged from the hos
pital. Instead of sending him back to

the county institution. His hand be-
came infected so the hospital authcri-
ties told him he had better get home
before blood poison developed He
started to walk to South Bend When
he reached Hammond his haind was
swollen to twice its normal size and
he was all IN. We gave him the mo-
ney to ride home"
We simply can't turn such men
away" continued Mr.. Long. but
what are ew going to do when we
have no money? The Red Cross can't
help them and our treasury is empty.
The Post has no running expenses since
the county let US meet in the court
house. We put on the minstrel show
in the hope OF bolstering UP our treas
ury we could continue our work.
The public did not patronize the show
and instead of making money. the Le-
gion cleared nothing. The men who
agreed to back it had to make up a
