Undiscouraged, Duginbill got a wide plank, laid it on the mud. placed his ladder on the plank, and climbed up to start painting. When he got to the top of the ladder, however, he discovered that the plank, supporting the ladder, was sliding away from the barn. Before he could do anything about it, the ladder be-, gan toppling, and Dave leaped into space, 12 feet from the ground.

He landed on all fours in the brown mire and sank almost a foot in the slime. The paint job was postponed again.

Hammond Youth Gets Taste of Naval Life GARY NEWS Before approximately 100 business men and members of the Hammond Merchants association, the city council last night by a vote of 1 5 to 2 passed the ordinance imposing such restrictions upon auction sales in the city that it practically prohibits them. In addition to this action, the council also passed judgment upon a number of other important measures. The auction ordinance, prepared under the sponsorship of the merchants association by the law firm of Crumpacker Friedrich, is declared to bt a boon to the retail merchants of the city, and may be considered to be directed at Chester Paul Wolf, auctioneer, pseudo-politician, and self-styled "colonel."

They had canvassed several hun sailing a battleship during this cruise. In his letter he stated: "I just came down from watch on the bridge. I had the wheel for three hours. "So far the cruise has been great with plenty of excitement and plenty of time to eat and sleep.

"While in the gulf stream we saw sharks and porpoises, and now, farther north, Ave see quite a few whales. One of them nearly upset a life boat a few days back, while we were having 'Man Overboard' drill in mid-Atlantic. It didn't look so good for the boys in the boats for m. while. "We've been having- some rough weather on the way over, which is good for the sea legs and we surely have 'em by now Just covered with salty brine." Midshipman Miller received his start in sailing as a member of the Hammond Sea Scouts.

dred persons before police learned of NEW YORK, July 2. (U.P.) The American Bar association will begin a secret poll in two weeks among its 30,000 lawyer members throughout the country to determine their attitude toward repeal of the ISth amendment. The decision to undertake the poll was made after 12 years of aloofness from the prohibition controversy. The executive committee of the association said it could no longer resist pressure from within the membership ranks for an expression of opinion on the subject. For some time one wing of the association, called the voluntary committee of lawyers, has been urging the association to go on record either for or against the amendment.

An attempt at this was made at the last convention, in Memphis, and at previous gatherings, but the executive committee, on each occasion, prevented a direct vote or referendum on the plea that prohibition was a controversal and political subject and that only a relatively small number of members were on hand to vote. For that reason it has been decided, in conducting the coming poll, to allow the members as a whole to say whether the vote should be made public. The ballots will be sent out July IS. The ballots will ask the opposition of each member on the wet and dry issue and request his idea about putting the association on record in the controversy. If there is a negative vote for the latter, the ballots be torn up and no result revealed.

A touch of a sailor's life a.nd the life of an Annapolis midshipman in particular was given in a letter received recently by Commodore Leslie DeCamp of the Hammond Sea Scouts. Harold Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. K. W.

Miller of 1294 Hohman street, Hammond, a midshipman at the United States Naval academy was the correspondent. Miller is aboard the U. S. S. Arkansas, flagship of the Midshipmen's summer practice squadron, headed for Cherbourg and then Paris.

"This home was built under the Sears, Roebuck and company finance plan under which the company puts up as much as $3 for each dollar put up by the home owner toward the total cost of the building and lot. Under the plan the home owner has 15 years in which to pay for the home. The monthly rate of payment is J8.56 per 1,000 borrowed, no payments being required during the first four months of the transaction the period of construction. Since the inauguration of this plan early In the spring, over 400 home seekers have taken advantage of it, many of them in this their operations.

OPEN CAMPAIGN 0 "FIREBUGS" SAN FRANCISCO, July 2 (I.N.S.) Diving operations in the Pacific; ocean, twenty-seven miles off the Golden Gate, with $10,000,000 worth of rare old whiskey at stake, are in prospect here. Nearly fifty years, ago, the German sailing ship Bremen, en route to San Francisco with a cargo of Monongahela whiskey, floundered and sank off the farrallone Islands. It was learned recently that maritime divers, including William Reed of San Francisco, have been planning to launch an expedition with the object of recovering as much of the whiskey as they could trring to the surface.

"The ocean is deep off the Far-rallones," Reed said, "but the shp might have settled on a ledge, and be in such a position that a diver could reach it. "There are 5,000 barrels of 50-year-old whiskey there. At current bootleg prices it would be worth $10,000,000. I may make a try at getting it out. It would be well worth the risk." There was some doubt as to whether the whiskey lay withjn American territorial jurisdiction or beneath the high seas.

It was pointed out that if the whiskey were found outside of American territory, it could be shipped to Europe or South America and sold at good prices as old American bour-ban is now scarce and expensive.

SAYS EUROPE IS "GOING AMERICAN" NEGRESS FIRES AT ASSAILANT CHICAGO, July 2. (I.N.S.) Chicago today was assured of a unified local transportation system following yesterday's election in which the proposed traction ordinance was approved 325,467 to 58,212.

Universal transfers will be inaugurated. Improvements of $65,000,000 in the first three years and $135,000,000 in the next seven years are pledged by the consolidated system.

The seller of auctioned goods must also be licensed, at no fee, but he is confined to 30 days in the year on which auctions may be held, and these days must be specified at the fime the license is granted. The measure had the support of practically all business men, and met only faint opposition in the council. Prior to the hearing of this ordi-nane on second reading, a petition signed by an even 100 members of the merchants association was handed to the aldermen, asking for favorable action. Alderman Chester Schlatter moved that it go to final passage and adoption, whereupon MacThompson, president of the council, 'turned the chair over to Charles Scott in order to talk against it.

Lewis, director of the Junior Placement Bureau of the New York State Department of Labor, in a bulletin issued recently to schools and social agencies, urged that students be dissuaded from obtaining working papers this summer unless actual evidence that positions await them exists. According to the bulletin, it is almost impossible for boys and girls to obtain employment of any nature and the outlook, as far as summer jobs are concerned, is almost hopeless.

"This is due. to present conditions, under which older men are willing to work for wages formerly paid only to Junior workers and because in some cases they are permitted by law to work longer hours than juniors," Lewis declared.

June 30, 1930. Editor, Hammond Times. Dear Sir: In view of the fact that many words have been spoken, and many gestures have been made concerning the establishment of a Y. M. C.

A. in Hammond, it may prove somewhat interesting to review proceedings to date. About six years ago there was some agitation concerning the founding of a. Y. M.

C. following which the state organization sent a Mr. Chamberlain here to further weld the sentiment and produce tangible results. I knew Mr. Chamberlain to- be sincere hard-working and earnest.

He lived in Hammond two years, during which time he did his best to form a local committee whose purpose was to be the financing of the community's share in the building fund. At this time our local Chamber of Commerce was functioning somewhat aggressively, and it suddenly felt the need of a new building. The idea was to erect new quarters, financed by the members, and to rent the lower story of the new building. This development proved of absorbing interest to members whose support was much needed by the Y. M.

C. A. project. Indeed such was their interest that all Mr. Chamberlain's efforts to get together an efficient committee were unavailing, after which he left Hammond.

At the time of the advent of the Telegram. I remember seeing a journalistic feeler extended toward the dormant Y. M. C. They later acknowledged a few replies from interested partes, but it evidently did not constitute "what they considered a vital issue.

I later took the liberty of writing to the state secretary of the C. asking him what had been done toward a in Hammond. I received a note expressing gratified surprise over such sentiments from a resident of this city. I got the impression from this letter that there were a few still hoping. I met the secertary some months later, and had the assurance that he was working hard to convince certain men that the way to salvation lay through a sizeable contribution to a local fund.

It occurs to me that this line of attack is indeed Jar from the idea of getting the here on its merits alone. It is just possible that at some time in the future a stranger will not start hopefully toward the triangular red sign of -a Marland filling station, in spite of the almost insuperable obstacles yet to be overcome before a Young Men's Christian association will be a. reality in Hammond. Perhaps our High boys will succeed in accomplishing what their elders have thus far so notably failed to bring about. Sincerely, E.
