DR.. TODD IN
ROTARY ADDRESS

DR.. Todd. professor OF Sociology
at Northwestern university. gave an
inspiring address before the mem
bers of the Hammond Rotary club
today upon the Industrial Age.
The Industrial Age, as usually re-
ferred to. applies to the last one
hundred and fifty years. Since the
beginning of history there have
always been industries but only in
recent century has there been an in
tensive application of power and ma
chinery to the production OF cornmo-
dities.
All present day articles can be
tracked back TO the initial discovery
OF some natural forces or materials
such as fire. water power and cloth
ing.
The question of the hour is the
efficient handling of labor used in
the industries as it has been proven
that the material is efficiently ap-
piled. The Hoover report upon
waste in industries clearly showed
the tremendous waste of human en-
ergy due to loss of time from many
causes.
The problem for the business
community of America today IS to
see that every person who is will
ing to work can secure profitable
at all times
The result of such a condition
would be a maximum Of happiness
and satisfaction.

CALLAHAN FOR
AMALGAMATION

Mayor Frank Callahan of East
Chicago today expressed himself as
favoring amalgamation of the cities
of East Chicago and Hammond
When asked by an inqulring re-
porter as to his position on the
question, Mayor Callahan responded
hat he was heartily in favor OF
the movement and would do every
thing in his power to effect the
consolidation OF his city with Ham
mond.
The life and progress OF this dis
trict hinges upon binding East Chi
cago and Hammond together" said
Mayor CALLAHAN. we can never hope
to continue our growth along heal
thy and prosp erous lines until both
ends Of this district are bound fast
and We get pulling into one direc-
ton"
The mayor did not attempt to go
into the details of bringing about
amaIgamatio or offer any sugges-
tions for perfecting the plan. know
ing that such action is now being
taken by civic orga nizations of the
two separate cities.
The definite stand OF Mayor Cal
lahan on thiss issue is to be consid-
ered as a capital asset in this move
ment.

plished a notable achievement in

WILLIAM LYNCH
SELLS STATE ST.

Great Activity Promises
In Downtown Prop
erty.

The completion of the splendid
three story Greenwald building at
State street and Oakley avenue and
the definite announcement that the
Bereolas Brothers will at once start
four story structure at state and
Holman streets to cost $4,000 are
believ ed TO be in large part respon-
sible for a new activity in down
town real estate.
The most important sale OF the
week. growing out of this new state
Fof mind. was that OF the "flatiron"
building on the south side Of state
street and just east Of the Nickel
Plate tracks for s21. 900. The build
ing was Sold by Nick Kiser to Sam
Gubitz, the shoe man. through the
agency OF William Lynch OF the
Frank J. Wachewicz concern. Mr..
Lynch is one Of the city's -up and
coming" real estate statesmen and
Ge sale is feather in his cap.
1t is also reported that Peter "
Meyn has purchased from Martin
Linz and Giles Warner the fifty FOOT
State street frontage on the south
east corner of State stree and oak
ley avenue and that a three or four
story building VIII be erected early
in 1928.
There is every reason to believe
that there WEI be moro new build
Ing on Holman street. SPECIALLY on
the latter. next year than in the
past ten years combined.
The Northern Indiana Gas & Ell
ectric Company Is crowded for room
and Is very much in need Of a Guild
ing of its own. When the gas com
pany finally builds It will put up a
handsome structure. probably the
city's first "sky-scraper. An Of
fetal Of the company is quoted as
having said TO a friend that the gas
company would butld JammonRs

next ten years viii see It develop

Is more business transacted In Ham

city of its size in the state in
