BUSINESS MEN BOOST :# Resolutions were adopted at the meet- ing of the New Trier Commercial as- sociation Monday, of this week, endors- ing the plan of the Chicago, North snore and Milwaukee Electric railway to operate a bus line between the WiU mette avenue station and Deerfield, via Gross Point, Glenview, and intervening points north. ...The railroad recently petitioned the Wilmette Village board for permission to operate a bus line in the village. An ordinance relating to the proposed estab- lishment of the service in Wilmette is being prepared and will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for action in the near future, it is said. r^ The Commercial association members stated that the proposed line would work a distinct advantage to the residents in the territory west of the village in com- ing into Wilmette, as well as providing an adequate means of transportation for golfers who will use the new courses now being established in the Forest Pre- serve west of Wilmette.

The Associational Banner for efficiency. BY HELENA BRADFORD The annual Senior Play, the biggest dramatic event of the year, New Trier Township High school, is to be given at the New Trier Auditorium Friday and Saturday nights, June 1 and 2. A new plan is being followed this year, in that there are two com- plete casts, one for each night. This arrangement tends to make the play- ers put the greatest effort into their work, and should prove an interest- ing experiment. Modern Comedy The play itself is "The Gypsy Trail," a modern romantic comedy by Robert Housum. It concerns itself principally with one Frances Ray- monds a charming girl, prosaic and not in the least unusual. > She lives a humdrum sort of life and longs for omaneerâ€"At^y^uw^^Bxtf^nB=4ove^with Frances is Ned, just as prosaic and humdrum as she.; ; Then comes Mic- hael, a reporter, an adventurer, a wanderer. Ned conceives the brit- hant scheme of kidnapping Frances, andgetsMichael to help him. Then, in some! way or other, Michael, who has no desire whatever to marry and settle down» finds himself engaged to 'Frances/'^?-â€"; â- -V&'y^vSSj^' :mMmm$fk Clever.

Other signs will be placed where other serious accidents have occurred,; u"They will not be the most pleasant reading,'* he declared, "but we feel that time has come, wf|m the increasing^ Iy heavy traffic, to employ drastic meas- ures in warning motorists against the danger that lurks at hand for the un- observing driver."
