TRACK ELEVATION
BILL IMPOSSIBLE
IN LAKE COUNTY
Hammond (Ind.) Mayor De-
CIareS Costs Too High
Plan Changes.

Track elevation and grade separa.
tion under the provisions of the
Clements $3.50 bill is impossible for
Rcities of Lake County, said Mayor
fAdrien e. Tinkham of Hammond to-
'lday.
( FDeclaring that any modification of
the present statute, which provides
that the municipality bear only 25
per cent of the cost of intersection
improvement, three Lake County
mayors and members of their respec-
tive city administrations, would pre-
vent realization of track elevation
projects in their cities, prepared to
present their united opposition to the
House committee on railroads at
public hearing Tuesday.
Gary FavOrs $685.
Hammond's elevation plans, based
on the present law would approx
mate an expense to the city of about
$1,000,000, Robert Harrington, head
of the Hammond board of public
works, told The Times today.
Harrington pointed out that the
city's portion of the cost under the
provisions of the Clements bill would
approach a $10,O00,00O figure.
Gary, the home of the United
States Steel Corporation, was said TO
be favoring a 65-35 compromise, and
Mayor Floyd E. Williams of the
Steel City, though staunch in his OPP
position to an equal division of ex-
pense between city and utility in
terests, intimated that he believed
a 65-35 division of total cost the
nearest to reasonable agreement"
possible under the circumstances.
Hammond Ready
Mayor Tinkham of Hammond, Will
Hams of Gary, Mayor Walter E.
Schrage of Whiting, Mayor Ed. Glow
er Of Crown Point and Mayor Ra-
leigh P. Hale of East Chicago were
expected to attend the open commit
tee hearing on the elevation meas
ure Tuesday night, in company with
Mayor Geake of FIT. Wayne and city
officials of South Bend
Hammond city officials were ready
with an amendment to be presented
to the House Railroad Committee for
consideration. The measure, accord
ing to Mayor Tinkham, would take
the form of an exemption clause,
providing that cities of n nOnulatio
of not less than 10000 nor more
than $4,000 should be allowed to
carry out track elevation plans I'M
der the present 1926 law.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FTSHBEIN

British industrial organizations and the industrial fatigue research board have probably given more scientific attention to the preven- ton Of accidents in industry than has been given by groups in other communities. In a summary of their work Dr. l.. r. Lockhart has listed q few of the accidents that result from improper clothing worn by workers.
 Loose belts and absent buttons result in slack portions of cloth ing that may be caught in ma chnery. Torn clothing with loose ends hanging free also results fre- quently in disaster. High-heeled shoes are always dangerous in factories.
 The worst of accidents occur when high-heeled shoes are run down on the sides. They may catch in gratings. they may be pulled off. causing the worker to fall. or they may twist the foot, ana iead 10 Sprdlneu ankle.
 Danger in Thin Sole
 When the sole of a shoe be- easily penetrated by nails or glass, Wounds made in this way are quite frequently infected seri- ously.
 Machinery and working places are planned for normal workers in good condition. If the hands are bandaged they offer opportunity for loose ends to be caught in dangerous machinery. A dust cloth stuck in the belt or hanging from a pocket has frequently been caught with serious accident as the result.
 Visionary Failures
 When an eye is covered by an object which prevents vision. or when worker has had his pupils dilated in order to test his need for glasses. the individual loses his power to estimate or judge distance correctly. He is likely to put his hand into trouble with out realizing his danger. 4 person who does not hear well or whose hearing is tenn porarily damaged due to an in fected car or a very bad cold should not be placed in work where his deficiency may result in menace to himself or to others.
 In most modern offices the cleaning up is done at night by scrubwomen who are not often of high intelligence. The regular watchmen or attendants should in- spcct immediately after they have finished their work to make sure that soap, pails, cleaning rags and kneelng mats have not been left in halls o" on stairways.

Do you like big words? Coinci- dence is big word. But big words sometimes have very simple mean iugs. When two things happen at inc same time, it may be a coinci- ,,ancc. So it was q coincidence that Little Mrs. Peter Rabbit took 1t into her pretty little head to go up to he old Pasture on the very night that Peter took it into his head 10 visit the dear old iar-patch. Now, if Peter had gone in a straight limo from the Old Pasture to the dear old Rriar-patch, it is quite likely that he would have met Mrs. Peter. But he didn't. He went by round about way. So he didn't. meet little Mrs. Peter, who went just as straight as she could from dear old Briar- patch 10 the Old Pasture. You see, Mrs. Peter was in hurry 10 get 'hsre.
 Now, as you know, little Mrs. Pc fer was very anxious. She really was doing q very brave thing. She IS such a timli small person that for her 10 make up her mind to go of by herself up to the Old Pasture required a great deal of bravery. Yes. sir, 1t did so. Her heart was in her mouth. as the saying IS, every jump of the way. How she did hurry across the Green Mead ows. lipperty- -lipperty-lip. lt seemed 10 her that she never would reach he shelter of the bushes in the Old Pasture. She just knew that Hooty the Owl was after her. He wasn't for he was over in the Green Forest She was sure that Reddy Fox, or Mrs. Reddy. would spring out Of he grass and catch her before she 20, 70 that old Pasture. But nothing of the kind happened.
 When at last she slipped in among the bushes. she vas quite out of breath and shaking all over with fright. She crept at once under a pile of brush. Not until she was clear under i, did she feel safe.
 "I do hope I shall find Peter soon." said she to herself. "] do hope I shall not have to look very tar. l ought not to have sent him away that way. l didn't really mean it when l told him that he needn't come back. It would be dreadful If
 can't find him, I'm scared half to ,ieath. I always am scared when ] am outside the dear Old Briar- patch. But l cant help it; I've got 10 find Peter"
 So after little Mrs. Peter had rested and quite had her breath back agaln. she started out through the old Pasture. My" said she, "how the old Pasture has changed. l, isn't the same place at all that it was when I was young. ] don't recognize anything. Even the bram- blc-ranglcs have changed. There used 10 be one big bramble -taugle that my father, old Jed Thumper. called his castle. I think I'll go right there and see if he is at home."
 Now. going right 10 that bran ble- 'anglc wasn't any such simple mat Ter as little Mrs. Peter imaglred it would be. That fact is, she didn't recognize that bramble-tangle when she saw it, II didn't appear 10 be nearly as big as sine recalled it. II wasn't. Part Of it had been cleared away since she had seen it, and old Jed Thumper no longer lived there.
 So little Mrs Peter looked in vain for Old Jed Thumper's castle. By this time she vas getting footsore and discouraged. 'l shall have 10 rest" thought she. T must find 8 safe place and have a good rest, Oh dear. I feel so scared"
 Just when little Mrs. Peter had q happy thought. Perhaps Peter

But, oh dear, I should be so much more comfortable if ] were at home in the dear Old Briar- patch. ] don't like being out in the Great World. I don't like it and don't care who knows it, so there!'
