idential section, where everything
was restricted but the mud and the
hootch, it was wired (the house was),
but not enough. So the commuter did
many weird and wired stunts all over
the place.
First thing a fuse blew out. This
is what fuses are for. Then you
don't have any spectacular fires.
Neither do you have any light. But
our commuter was not phased; he
borrowed the other hairpin of the
light and taking his pocket
daylight torch descended to the
neither regions.
Locating the cosy corner where the
fuses have their nest he ingeniously
stuck the curl folder into the anat-
omy of the suffering fuse and behold
there was light
Next morning while assembling his
outer appearance and assimilating his
time, according to time-honored GUS
tom among commuters when trying
to catch the seven-fifty to town, he
smelled something burning and It
didn't smell nice. The smoke was
coming up the cellar stairs and IT
wasn't cigar smoke either. Descend
ing hurriedly he discovered a wire
tackled to the beams burning right
merrily and that this wire came from
the doctored fuse. He had sense
enough to pull the main switch be-
fore he took the pin from the fuse
and coming up again he found also
that fair wiley had cluttered all her
such as toaster, percola-
tor and grill, on one circuit by means
Of triple socket, so that no wonder
the poor overloaded wire in the cellar
got hot and burned with resentment.
Having thus missed the seven-fifty he
Gained down long enough to tell dar-
ling to go to the village and buy
box of fuses, until he was able to find
an electragist to attend to the proper
wiring Of the house.

WHAT'S WHAT IN LIGHTING

The home-maker who endeavors to
be fashionable" in her lighting
equipment will usually defeat her
own ends. For instance, you may
hear one woman remark that "over-
head fixtures are going out Of date"
while another will be equally en-
phatic that wall brackets seldom
give enough illumination" AS mat
ter of fact, neither statement is cor
rect. Each type Of lighting has its
own particular place and fills pc
culiar need.
When considering any changes or
additions in your lighting equipment,
It is well to bear In mind that only
by careful study Of your own particu-
lar problem can you hope to attain

TOE WONDERS WORKED BY
THE KNOW-IT-ALL COMMUTER
An Exciting Incident of Suburban
Life With Apologies to George
AIDE and Mrs. AesOp.

There once was a commuter. A
commuter is a train catcher, handy
eler and many other things.
This one in particular knew all
about carpentry, electric wiring,
home brew, washing dishes, and ev-
erything. He was Johnnie-on-the-
Spot at fixing electric irons, washing
machines, push buttons, hair curriers'
and all such do-funnies that drink
the mysterious juice called electricity
that trickles through little wire and
carries as much kick as the forbidden
ready-to-swallow stuff

REMOVES THE DREAD
FROM PORTRAITURE

Folks who 1oathe sitting" for their
pictures, secure in the knowledge
that no matter how painstakingly
they pose the result will be fiasco,
will welcome the new electric camera,
which is the latest departure in mod
ern photography.
With this camera, exposures are
made while the subject is In action
(also, If necessary, entirely without
his knowledge) and this permits a
perfect registering Of the natural ex-
preston and does away with that
stig, stilted look, dreaded by sitter
and photographer alike.
For portrait work on babies and
youngsters, the electric camera will
soon hold a unique place. Children
are recognizedly difficult to take, be-
ing most natural and charming when
in action and wholly unsurpassed.
Nervous, self-conscious people, to
whom the taking Of their pictures is
the most dreaded of all dreadful occa-
sions, will welcome the electric cam
era as a friend in need.
The results obtained so far are said
to be really wonderful and are ex-
pected to eventually revolutionize the
Photographic art Another interesting
feature is that the use Of this cleo
trio camera allows Of very moredate
rate for picture taking. The opening
announcement of one studio that fea-
lures this camera offered one dozen

The electric fan is synonymous in

Any physician of note will tell you,

much how hard you work on hot sum-

you suffer from lack Of air during the

Hammond Business Man
Advocates Soldier Bonus

A soldiers compensation measure
is pretty certain to be passed in the
present session of Congress. Our
politicians have been basing G .eat
deal of their campaign oratory on
patriotic appeal, and for some time
got by with unfulfilled promises. AS
an example, it will be recalled by
some that our own Slip'ry jim came
here and spoke for 9 couple CT hours
in staunch support OF soldiers cor
pensation, and promised that he
would himself introduce a bonus bill
in the coming NOV presently session.
A few weeks previous to the speech
the willy James had voted against
the only real compensation OIL ever
introduced in Congress. Later ne
voted for political "salve" bill
which. even had the late Presi-
dent Harding not vetoed it, would
have meant nothing to the ex-service
man. I'm that same speech he pre-
tended to rave against tax-free
securities-and Jimmy is on record as
having voted for the biggest tax-free
security measure ever proposed).
AS we said before, our professional
politicians have been getting away
with that sort of stuff. But the ex-
service men are getting wise to 1t,
and the alert politician, realizing
that fact, now feels that he will have
to deliver or lose his job. And the
Jobs the thing with them.
Many people are of the opinion
that the ex-service men deserve the
recognition which the Legion COM
pensation measure would provide;
others are against it as financial
burden. Among those who advocate
it's passage is Mr.. D. Deneen of Ham
mond, whose letter, published here
with. shows that he has made a
through study of the subject.

In your editorial Dec. 8th, you say.
at is quite impossible to think Cal
vim Coolidge would raise his voice
against the payment of bonus if he
believed moral obligation rested
on the Government to pay it, or the
failure to pay it would be breach of
national honor or good faith"
/ am in cheerful accord with that
statement. President Calvin Coolidge
would not Intentionally sanction q
dishonorable act, neither would the

ISBESET
. WITH BAT TING
SLUMP
Five Strike outs Mark Ninth
Day Without Hitting
Ball. {

Ossie Bluege, the Griffs' sterling
young thirdsacker, Is in the throes
Of a wretched batting slump, and
when he famed five straight times
yesterday he climaxed nine days OF
futility with the willow.
Beginning with the New York
game here two weeks ago today,
Bluege has gone to bat forty-two
times, scored six runs and made
ten hits for total Of thirteen bases.
This is hitting at a rate of .235.
which is bad enough.
But 'Bluege got five Of his hits
in his first three games, beginning
with June 4.
In his last nine games Bluege
has been to bat thirty-two times.
He has hit safely five times, giving
him an average Of but .156.
DOME Bush's young thirdsacker
has the fans with him, just the
same, and he was applauded when
he approached the plate yesterday,
even after tanning four straight
times. Manager Bush is confident
that Bluege will snap out of his
slump and make some pitcher
grieve.
