It is the duty of every citizen to re- frain from doing anything that is disfiguring nature. If any one wishes to call attention to prop- erty for sale or for rent, let him nail his sign to a post, but not to a tree. Trees make the north shore towns. If a tornado should up- root or destroy every tree on the north shore, where would be its beauty or its attractiveness? It would soon be like any treeless city of the barren stretches of Arizona. The lake would not save it. On a ride along Sheridan road from Central avenue north into Glencoe one can see dozens of trees with one, two, threeâ€"and sometimes four!â€"signs attached "to them. The trees near a builds ing under construction are most often plastered with notices of all sort, telling who did the work, who supplied the building ma- terial, etc. The trees thus im- posed upon remind one of beau- tiful women wearing advertise- S^mong the offending signs, "« vou ^beve that this procedure ^trangeJk-^ay^-are^notiee^-pu^ ^^n^and^ust-rt^ilf-not be LAWN TENNIS Who that attended the recent ten- nis matches at the Skokie Chib was not thrilled with the exhibition of human speed and skill? With the miraculous adjustment of body and limb to meet the attacks of the ad- versary? But most of all with the marvelous power of the human mind ? , , Compare the ability of these men and women with that of little chil- dren. What an increase, in the years between infancy and adult life, of strength and almost super- natural adjustment of mind and muscles to continuously changing conditions! Which seems to you the more ad- mirable, the match between Alonso and Tilden or that between Demp- sey and Gibbons? BAHAI We don't very well know who or what Bahai is, We know very well that we could have found out, if we had taken the pains to inquire. But the fact is we didn't, and so now a Bahai temple is going up in our neigh- borhood, and we are deplorably ignorant. We have a vague memory of having heard somewhere that Bahai is (or was) a wise East Indian (or Persian), and we read in last week's Lake Shore News about "nine chapels for nine different religious creeds and the central assembly room for the teaching of univer- salism." Meet us at the temple on Fri- day evening at 7:30 or Sunday afternoon at 3, and we'll be en- lightened. "4 P.M. TO 7:30 P. M.M People are worth more than grass. If there is not enough water for both people and grass, the people should get what they need, and then, and only then, the grass can get what little is left. hard for you to sprinkle your lawn before 4 p. m. and after 7:30 p. m.
