AUGUST 19, 1921 Cheerfulness Even in the black melancholy of suicide there is sometimes a bright rift of cheerfulness. A salesman in a nearby town departed frojn_^his_life fhl? other day. and left a note asking that he be buried in his horn-rimmed spectacles. Those spectacles had doubtless stood him in fjood stead in his lifetime, given him the impressive mien which enabled him to sell his customers. Perchance he had a fear that in a worldly life here below he may have sold himself to the devil, and in writng his dying wishes he was moved by the fanciful thought that when he appeared before St. Peter he-would have" a better~cTianc7e 6f "selling himself" to the grim cus- todian of the celestial gates if he referred byâ€"tlrowâ€"tortoise goggles. It was these very horn rimmed spectacles that an cditoral 'writer lamented the decline of a short /time sinceâ€"lamented them and gently derided them. It is easy to laugh at the owlish goggles which were the fad a few months hack, as it is-easy to laugh at the other passing freaks of fashion-T- the spit curl and the bobbed coif of our very young women and those who wish to be thought very young, and the rakish pompadour and -tluv bobbedâ€"mrnminiTe of the T925 class of young men. New, freakish and extreme fashions in dress, in art. in literature, in religion, in govern- mentâ€"they are easy to laugh at, and being laughed at is a part of their purpose. The crazes of the. campus arc the delight of "Main street." But there is something more to it than this. The crowd of extremely young "persons who snip their curls short, disfigure their faces with horn goggles, paint pictures with a squirt gun, dance with everything but their feet, write poetry with a logomachy outfit and" monkey with "pale pink parlor anarchy, when they are not mere cheap frauds, have at least that independence ,of thodght -which leavens the sour dough of the think- ing ojf the rest of us, lt"-rs- true that â- the fad of yesterday has scarce be- gun to pick at the coverlid before the fashion of tomorrow springs full formed into thy"TcnteF of the- stage. But it Is also true that the derided freak of yesterday becomes the ac- cepted commonplace of tomorrow. Scientists tell us that among the "sport-" occur the variants which alone make evolution possible. And the campus sport sand the' Greenwich village -ports contribute at least a -*mail -ha-.-. That bcgoggled sales* man in any event set a new style in Imrial garb. - â€" • much comment by tourists from other states that Illinois is lacking this one essential feature of travelling comfort in this state. ," Officials of the state favor some such plan and it is pointed out that such markers will add to the induce- ment for tourists to choose well paved and well marked highways of Illinois. A large mileage of the through route highways could be marked at little expense and the saving of time, and convenience to motorists would pay for the cost in less than one season, it is claimed. Road boosters are now working out a plan that may soon he adopted. Origin of Name Wood. That the first who bore the narat Wood dwelt near or adjacent to a wood there can be no wasonablt douM^4«r-tlw-uanie^flfiTnippeara ai Atte-Wolde, which meant "at the wood." Later the name becameâ„¢At£ wood nnd In some cases this wai changed to Atwood. which was later contracted to Wood. Sometime* it re- nalned Atwood. a name that Is still to be found In England. Highway Markers A systematized "marker" play for Illinois Highways is being advocated^ by motor organisations and eh-ic as- socjationsâ€"throughout Thc^sTate. The various motoj^jEltih^iair^h^TtOwns ot | the state arc urging the adoption, un der state control.ai a system similar j to the one in u-e ua_Wisconsin. The only markings on the Illinois high- ways are those erected privately by individual motor clubs. In most parts of the state and over a large percent- age Q< the main travelled highways TWrf are no markings to guide AtrajiMers. it has been the subject off| 2I0N CITY PAVING WORK NOW PARTIALLY FINISHED North shore motorists are rejoicing at the announcement that the north section of the Zion concrete road has been completed and contractor Dar- row has moved his machinery to the south section. The new section just finished looks lino and will make an ideal road when it is opened up. In order to make the road come up to state specifications the contractor has to cover the finished concrete with a layer of dirt and this has to remain untouched for one month, io that it will be early in September be- fore this section of the Zion road can bjL opened up. Contractor Darrow last week began work from 33rd street north. As everything is in good operation .and there is plenty x>f material it is ex- pected that the south end will be completed in less time than the north end. U. 3.

At the Evanston branch will be cars to take you to any destinationâ€"the more people that ride the better we will like it. This model, the most complete and finest looking sport car on the boulevards will be on display and on demon- stration. Nothing that a multiple cylinder car can do on or off the paved roads is impossible for this car. Speed, power, beautiful body lines and finish all go to make it the most desirable machine in its class.
