to the county fair In every manner
of automobiles from the family F~d
to trucks and buses, despite the
gloomy day.
1t was lively day. Hundreds Of
kiddies raced about the fair grounds
raided the hot dog" stands, watched
the acrobats and aerial gymnasts
with open-mouthed amazement, and
drank in the noise, color and gayety
! of the place.
Meantime their elders were exam
lining the finest farm exhibits and
the great horse, stock and poultry
shows that the county has ever pro-
duced.
There are more than 500 entries in
the stock shows and some of the

stock show In the state with the
one exception of the state fair

Friday is Hammond Day at the
fair and Mayor Brown by a procla-
nation today has closed the schools
and adjourned business to permit the
people to attend. He has asked the
industries and business houses to
suspend business at noon, Friday. II
is believed that the mayors action
will send 10000 people from Ham
mond to the fair.
The Hammond Day at the county
fair was originally to have been a
Hammond Kiwanis Day. but the
kiwanis club decided It deserved to
be a city-wide movement and called
| upon other organizations to take it
up.
The mayors proclamation turns
| the trick. There isn't anything to
do but attend the fair Friday after
| noon.
Everybody at the fair today
| agreed that it was three times as
big as last years fair In every de-
| partment. The war and the after
| math OF the war had an effect upon
=, the fair. but the return to normalcy
has completely restored 1t to the
| former favor.
If you want to know what a
great county this really Is. attend
the county fair. You will be con-
vinced that il Is as great in stock
raising and agricultural as any
| county in the state.
The free attractions are the best
obtainable. The fair association has
spent thousands of dollars for cir
Gus and vaudeville acts

with big crowds in the grandstand.

SOCIETY MEN WEAR CORSETS
Fad Spreading in England, and Said
to Be by No Means Confined
to Fops.

The corset-wearing habit among
men is coming into vogue again, says
an investigator in England.
"A leading London corsetiere who
supplies most society men, puts down
a good customers bill at $3.50 per an
mum. Let no one imagine that it is
only tops who wear them. The major
ity of wearers are military men, who,
I learn, require greater amount Of
padding than civilians. Others are Or
binary well-dressed men, given to man.
ly sports, and by no means effeminate.
"A mans figure has to be gradually
coaxed into shape, and it is put first of
all into a soft silk corset with scarcely
any bones, until he attains by degrees
to the full glory Of the perfect figure.
"This process usually takes three
months, and five special makes of COR
sets are employed in the development,
or. perhaps it would be more accurate
to say the repression Of the figure"

FATHER OF BLOCK SIGNALING
Name Of William Robinson Written
Large in the History of Rail.
way Transportation.

An automatic electrice system OF
railroad signaling was put into sue.
cessful operation for the first time SO
years ago. 1t was the invention of
William Robinson, and the trial to
which he submitted his signaling ap-
planes was made early in September,
1872, at the town of Kinzua, on the
old Philadelphia & Erie railway in
northern Pennysvlvania..
Mr.. Robinson is very generally re.
ferred to as "the father of automatic
block signaling" His invention is
recognized as the forerunner and at
the same time the basis Of "practical-
ly every automatic electric block sig
nal system in use on railroads today"
This tribute to his work appeared
in a recent report of the interstate
commerce commisiOn: "Perhaps no
single invention in the history of the
development of railway transportation
has contributed more toward safety
and dispatch in that field than the
closed track circuit"
