Strangers very often greet you A..
Just as though they're glad to NEE
you;
Smile the way the home-folk do,
Shake your hand and talk to you;
Now and then they'll walk beside you
In friendly way they'll guide you,
But they've passed along the way
At the ending of the day.
Each Of us who plays the ranger
Is to all he meet a stranger 4
But the CHEEKY voice and smile
Vanish in little while;
And although kind hands assist u.s.
ASIA stranger they shall list us,
We have met and gone our way,
Travellers of summer day.
Favors many they will show us,
But they never come 70 know US,
And they're different from the few
Good old loyal friends and true
Who have known us through the
years,

An optimist is man who thinks
the world is as it is
The average man never reaches his
goal until he reaches his gold.
Every woman's ambition is to look
as well as she thinks she looks.
These hot days always come at the
wrong time of the year.
A rolling stone is often broke.
A man sizes things up while a
crouch sizes things down.
Push is fine; but be careful whom
you push.
Nothing makes a man feel better
than hearing someone knocking one of
his enemies.
Ears will be worn this fall. We
don't know if they will be used.
The man who puts himself forward
often comes out behind.
A good swimmer thinks every day
is Saturday night.
We know a girl who has ton of
coal in her hope chest.
First sign of winter is when bathing
girls leave magazine covers.
Many a man who can't afford a va

that is just as good.
When he quits leaving money in his

There are more fortune hunters

George Weeks. for nearly a year
chief of federal prohibition enforce
ment for Northern Indiana, tender
ed his resignation this morning a,
Hammond.
Since the federal men opened
their crusade against liquor law vio-
lators in Lake county and princi-
pally in Gary, Weeks has been un-
der fire. He has been the butt of
much criticism. the Impression pre-
vailing that he had been lax in the
administration OF his office. Being
a resident of Gary it semed incred.-
Bile that the state OF affairs existing
there should not be without his
knowledge. Director Bert Morgan
had .ntimated that there would be
a new chief at the Hammond office
after Weeks had returned from the
leave Of absence to which his year 5
service entitled him.
From Gary came the word that
Weeks would not resign 1t was said
he would hold on until dismissed
Whether the necessary pressure was
brought to bear upon him Is not
known. Let II be sufficient that he
came to the Hammond office this
morning. wrote out his resignation,
ed IT TO w. o. Holman. chief Of
field agents. Then he said goodbye
to all and departed
Whether this ends Mr., Weeks case
is a. matter of conjecture. Conspir-
acy cases are far reaching and It
remains for the federal grand jury
to determine If he is to be brought
into the affair
Federal men have intimated that
in the cases Of number of higher
ups there VIII be no preliminary
arrests. They will not know their
fates until the last Indictment by
the grand jury has been issued and
return made.
With Weeks actually out Of the
job speculation again centers about
his successor. The public demand
for the appointment Of Ben Strong,
present chief of the I. H. B. rail-
road police. is heard more and more.
Strong, however. says nothing, ex-
cept to show an unwillingness to
give up his present position.
When 1t was known that Chief Gus
Simons was to be promoted a year
ago and a new man would be named
there was a scramble for the job.
Those in position to name the prob
able appointee were besieged by ap-
plicants and scores were promised.
Today they are all fighting shy Of
the place. ;,
1t Is not likely that a new chief
will be appointed before the middle
of October, If then. In the mean
time George Winkler will continue
in charge of the office.
