HAMMOND MERCHANTS
REAL STYLE SHOW

II looks as though the amount Of
pace that has been allotted to the
Hammond merchants for the Style
ihow. which will be held in conjunc-
ion with Orak Temple Circus. which
pens New Years Eve, December 31St.
nd continue until Saturday. January
h, will not be sufficien. to aocommo-
ate the number OF exhibitors who
ant to participate in what will be an
novation in Hammond.
The idea OF a Style Show has taken
popular fancy with the local mer-
hants for never before have the mer-
hants had an opportunity OF display
ng with q personal contact. their al
erent lines Of special merchandise.
'hicago has its annual Style Show
Why not Hammond? This department
the gigantic affair. which Is spon-
lored by Orak Temple, Is receiving
-reat deal OF attention by the COM
aittee in charge. The idea Is not en-
ireiy being considered from financial
tandpoint. The committee recognizes
he fact that the merchants Of Ham
nond have ever been liberal In their
support OF local undertakings. The
Temple is a local institution. therefore
hey figure that every one should par
monument of local endeavor. At the
style Show will be shown a number OF
exclusive lines, advanced spring styles
and will be large in its scope, for not
only VIII it cover all lines Of women's
apparel. but it will cover mems wear.
md all the ftnery that IS Madam's
great pleasure in wearing. The deco
rative scheme will be unique II will
be a reproduction OF the Streets of
Bagdad-that famous Basaar of Con-
stantinople that is the shopping Mecca
for the. worlds oddities.
THE AUTO SHOW.
Once again the committe, through
lack Of floor space, Is unable to ac-
comodate all the dealers who would
like TO take part in the Auto Show
but this will in NO way interfere with
making this attrsction complete and
a good miniature reproduction of the
Auto Show held in the larger cities
The decorative scheme for the Auto
Show will be artistic. With Florida
moss completely covering the ceiling
and tropical foliage interpersed with
flag decorations, will give the Auto
Show a garden effect of sunny Florida
The exhibits displayed will be in
charge OF competent demonstrators
who will tell you all the things you
should know about your next car.
LARGE ATTENDANCE rs ASSURED.
Letters have been received by the
committee from a number OF Shrines
stating that they will send delegations
for the ceremonial services on Monday
January the End, and the advance sale
of tickets is large, so that il looks as
though the largest gathering ever seen
in Hammond Will be at Oralx Temple
Circus.
PARADES WILL BE F1LLED WITH
NOVEL FEATURES.
While the parade committee are not
divulging their plans, they are busy
formulating a line OF march that will
be diversified and novel. and consist
of many features tha. will be well
worth turning out TO see.

The unfortunate accident at the Nickel

phasizes the mediate need Of regula-

man said today.
Anyone using tho streets, carrying
people for hire. whether by street car or

in city life Hammond. with it's narrow
streets, congested traffic. and many rail-
road crossings. But this risk of danger
should be made as small as possible.
The element of safety is even more i'm
portant than quick and cheap service
If the service is not safe, it is far more
expensive in the long rum he said.
Continuing. he added:
yThe jitney traffic as now conducted
in Hammond. is wholly unregulated.
For a nominal license fee, of three or
five dollars per year, depending on the
carrying capacity of the vehicle, under
an ordinance of the city council passed
in April. 1919, anyone is permitted TO
go on the streets and carry passen gers.
As a result. over si1ty-five titneys and
bus ses have taken licenses and are in the
business. Some of the drivers do not
live In Hammond. Many of them do not
have Indiana motor vehicle licenses.
They operate chiefly upon two or three
streets, without giving the city
any general transportation service. Very
few of them carry insurance providing
any protection to passengers in the event
of accident. It is the only instance
know of. where individuals have been
permitted to make private use of the
public streets of the city, wholly with
out supervision or control.

"ARMENIA"

The following is a translation Of
an Armenian poem:
o, hallowed ground, o, paradise!
Thy memories my heart entice,
I faint beneath an alien star,
Armenia! Armenia!
What land like thee, what home but
mine
With such an ardent fame doth
shine?
Thy deeds sublime, my glory are,
Armenia! Armenia!
BY heavenly rivers bloom thy wales
Ger sacred SUBMITS sweep thy gales;
Nor centuries frown thy smiles can
mar,
Armenia! Armenia!
Fair primal Eden loved thy slopes,
Adventurous Noah's ship of hopes
Above thy vineyards floated far,
Armenia! Armenia!
Heroes, thy founders, seers, thy
kings
As every Orient minstrel sings,
and holiest names exalted are
Within thy gates. Armenial
