INDIANA DANCE
HALL BOMBED,
LOSS 100000

HAMMOND, Ind, Nov 8 tP-The
State theater building in the heart
of Hanmond's business district, nous
ing a dance hall and an auditorium
seating $500 persons, was wrecked
today by an explosion which the
police attributed to several bombs.
No one was injured.
The blast rocked the city and left
the ornate theater, part of the State
street block, costing $I,500,000, a
twisted mass of Wreckage. The loss
was estimated at nearly 100000.
The cause Of the blast was almost
as much of a mystery as when it
occurred at o'clock this morning.
It was attributed to bombs, but the
reason for placing the bombs was
only matter Of conjecture.
Two weeks ago the management
of the Granada dance hall in the
same building elected several Gary
Ind, youths, when they became dis
orderly, and two of them made
threats of a reprisal, and the police
were working on theory that they
may know something of the blast
but attempts to locate these youths
had proven futile.
Part of the roof of All Saints
Catholic church across the street was
destroyed by the impact of the blast
Telephone, trolley and light poles
in the street near the theater were
snapped off by the force of the ex-
plosion and debris was piled so
high at State and Sibiey streets,
where the explosion occurred, that
traffic was blocked for hours.

When a raft is fifty per cent complete a two and one-half inch stud link anchor chain is laid from end to end through the length of the structure. This becomes the back bone, for in it are made fast lateral chains which aid in holding the bulky cargo together.

Clad in her running togs, and looking q little like female Nurni, she would jolt their preconceived ideas to death

 The news of the invention of the sea going sidecar is reminder that motor. cycles and even bicycles are taken more seriously and used more generally in England than in the United States In America as a rule, only very young men have the temerity to ask their sweet hearts to go sidecar-riding, of a Sunday afternoon. In England it is quite the thing In England, motorcycles have never "gonc out" and show no sign of doing so.
 For touring, both Englishmen and Americans admit the worth of the motor cycle, which will stand up under rough usage that would be fatal to an automo- bile, will go many places a motor car will not, and can be driven at higher rate of speed.

NAILING the ocean on cigar!
 Queer thought, yet not so foolish o as it sounds, for every year at this time mammoth cigars may be seen head ed south down the Pacific Ocean HOO miles from Washington timber sources to mills as far south as San Diego. Cigars made of logs; short logs, long logs, thick logs, thin logs-especially long ones, for they form the backbone of rafts S35 feet long containing 5,O0O,- 900 feet of timber and cut lumber.
 Sea-going log rafts have dispelled the thought that all goods to be shipped on the high seas must be cargoed within the walls of sea-worthy ships. Lumbermen learned many years ago that they need only tie the logs together so they would withstand the batterings of angry seas, and they would "ride" many hundreds of miles.
 The length of the Pacific Coast they travel, from the Columbia river to San Diego, and seldom is log lost. Behind an absurdly small tug, the millions of feet of timber destined to be cut for homes, plough at snail's pace through the Pacific waves, finally reaching their destination. Four miles an hour is their maximum speed.
 Expert workmen make up the rafts at their source, at the mouths of rivers in the timber-producing country. Two methods are employed. Small rafts con- taining less than 100000 feet of tim Der are built by laying floor of long logs and tying these together by means of intoraced cross wires; on the floors are built the super-structures. AS the logs pile up the floor submerges. Once the complete load has been piled on the floor, cables made fast to the floor are pulled over the top and tied-and an- other raft is ready for long journey in
