the eomintc campaign, would be of ma

prophesy a ucrfHful career.
w Officers Kleeted.
Officers of the association which
were elected are: Pre sident. Mrs. R. II.
Quillen, the originator of the idea;
vice president, Mrs. O'Brien; secretary,
Mrs. John .Spurs; treasurer, Mrs. C. K.
Smith. The committee on constitution
and bylaws, which was ordered to re
port at the next meeting, is Mrs.
O'Brien, chairman; Mrs. W. Hood and
Mrs. W. C. Rodd.
There were nearly a hundred pres
ent at the meeting, which was en
thusiastic from start to finish. All of
them were determined to take an ac
tive part in the campaign, organize a
drill corps, attend the political meet
ings, and in fact, everything to help
them keep in touch with politics and
wield their influence among the voters.
If there is a husband of any of those
present who intends to vote the demo
cratic ticket tills fall he had better
change his mind if he wishes to avoid
trouble in the family. He will not only
be requested to change his politics but
will be faced with an arugment to back
It up.
3!rs. Aernew's Fine Speech.
Mrs. X. I... Agnew, wife of the ex
senator from Valparaiso, delivered the
main speech of the day. Her subject
was. "What Influence Would a Wo
man's Republican Club Have in Gary?''
The talk was splendid and impressed
the women with the importance of
what thy wore undertaking. Mrs.
Agnew showed her knowledge of the
great political party and its policies
and recited its history right from its
inception. Mrs. Agnew is a finished
speaker and was at tier best Saturdiy.
'aptain Norton spoke on " '.:v We
Should Have a Republican Club." Af
ter he and Senator Bowser had finished
their talks' they had secured a warm
place, poi.tical!;-, in the hearts of the
women and would no doubt be backed
unanimously in ;ne future in case they
should l.avo arv aspirations for poli
tical plums. The reasons Captain Nor
ton didn't give for organizing a Ladies'
Republican club were not worth men
tioning, and it made a decided hit with
the pr sp.-cti i iiie'.'.icrs.

RAGS OF WISH DEED
Drunken Foreigner Slashed
With Butcher Knife
When Telling Story.
Whiting, Ind., July 20. (Special)
The boasting of George Palluk in a
drunken mood of how he had sfother
er his baby brother in the old country
brought down upon his head the sharp
edge of a butcher knife causing an
ugly wound in his head.
The wound was inflicted by.. Alex
Bugovich and Frank Hawkins, who,
like Palluk. is a boarder of Bugovich,
also took exception to Falluk's drunken
boast and got into the melee. All three
men were arrested.
The fight In the boarding house took
place at noon while everybody was sit
ting at the table. Palluk is only 19
years old and. wishing to all his com
panions a funny story told them how
one night In his sleep he had crushed
the life out of his infant brother. The
other two men took exception to his
brutality with the result that he was
badly beated up.

Resumption of industrial activity is
in sight. Stock quotations are higher
than the present conditions warrant, but
we are assured from excellent sources
that the quotations are justified by the !
business in sight that will become ef
fective probably within thirty days.
The railroads are in their fiscal year
since July 1. There is no longer the
excuse nor the necessity of holding
back orders for fear that the annual
reports would suffer. Prices which are
not right now will be made, anil an
active period is assured, the beginning
of which will not be later than the
middle of August.
Wisconsin In Full Blast.
The Wisconsin Steel company of
South Deeiing has more men working
at the present time than ever before,
conditions are getting better each day
at the Illinois Steel company, the Chi
cago Shipbuilding company on the East
Side, which has practically been closed
down for the last three months, will
soon take up construction work which
means the employing of over 2.000
men. Prospects look better at the
Grand Crossing Tack factory, the Fed

and other plants through out the Calu

The following gives the exact con

In Answer to Demand That Eeach Be

Undesirables Be Restrained.
Not for mar.v ytars has the Manhat
tan B'-ach bathing resort. Seventy-fifth
street ar.d Lave avenue, prospered so
early in the season. This statement
can be vouched for by a large major-
i ltv who have reaped a financial har
j vest.

passed tn,u the beach has not been
lined with bathers from all parts of
the ".ml the refreshment booths
and various .-Lands report satisfactory
sales.
Weather Man In Good.
The leather man lias bet n very con
siderate in the matter and to his leni
ency may attributed a greater part
of the t iii-cess. The beach in years
past has not been looked upon with
favor l-y a gieat many of the residents
of Windsor Park, as they claimed an
undesirable element frequented the
place, coming as they do from foreig.i
sections of the- tity. One of the rea
sons proclaimed by the citizens is the
batli' ii; lostames used by the bather.-;
and the s.vid and good people are
quite fhecked from time to time.
"This is nothing remarkable," said
a resident, who insisted on upholding
the attractive placf. "for I have seen
many an odd bathing suit at various
beaches. I think the awfulness of the
garments depends solely on the wearer,
her social ---l a .v. ;:.g and general bear
ing on the i aeiic. Therefore, it is
natuit'l tint "lie good people who own
home;; in the vicinity of Manhattan
Beach should begin law suits and all
kinds of ouster proceedings to get
ri.l of what they may term a nuisance.
You can say for me that I am heartily
in favor of the bathing beach at Wind
sor Park."

EARNS MONEY IN STEEL CITY

But Do Not Think They Can
Get Him.
Gary is the city of fakes.
It is easier to pull off a deal in Gary
i:nd get away with it than any other
t-ivn in the United States. Some of
the crooks in the new steel city actu
l!y seem to be humorists.

t'ie people of Gary hut a new case

MANY SERVIANS

Sorko Club Gives Varied Entertainment
for Resident of Gary
Yesterday.
There was a big Servian picnic at
Gary yesterday and it has been esti
mated that there were in the neighbor
hood of 1,000 Servians from all of the
cities in the Calumet region who par
ticipated. The picnic was given by what is
known as the Socko club and was a
very interesting affair. There were a
number of peculiar national dances and
music was furnished by bag pipes and
other peculiar musical instruments.
There was plenty of "booze fighting"
but there was no drunkenness to be
seen anywhere and not a single arrest
