Pretty good, but I could make good use of something with a little more kick. Well, I guess I better pull the belk Queer how people rush across just as soon as the bell rings. Sometime fhe gates will come down on one of those birds. Guess I'll lower mine flow. Pump, boys, pump! Whoa! ^ . Say, where do you think you re but rather where the giving and curves prepare him for appropri- ate action. And who can exag- gerate the joy of a thirsty driver when his attention is called to the fact that a spring of clear, cold water is waiting for him be- side the road? And as he goes skimming past a beautiful little lake is he not glad to be told by a sign that it is "Diamond Lake ? Church advertising, once thought undignified like sack- coats at an afternoon wedding, is now necessary. One's attention must be called to the coming of events; otherwise they will pass unnoticed. SOCIAL CENTERS It speaks well for American communities that in so many of them meeting places are provid- ed for men and women of foreign birth. For example, every Thurs- day afternoon and evening, girls of Scandinavian parentage work- ing in Wilmette meet in the club rooms of St. Augustines' Episco- pal church. There they have their own sewing parties and meet by themselves for teas and suppers. We believe that this sort of social undertaking will best^nc- ceed where there is no thought of ulterior benefit to those pro- viding the rooms; where the church, for example, does not ex- pect that these new neighbors will come into its membership'; :vm$m3'* _gQix£Z Back up! Don't you believe in signs? When they go down, that means a train's coming. People are sure queer beings. Just like hens. Jt's a wonder there aren't more ac- cidents. \ "Look at the people getting olf 1 I suppose they think because they've been in the city they've been work- ing. Maybe they think us fellows don't work. I'd like to see one of them have my job all day. Hed find out what real work was. "Maybe they-iftrmV they could get along without me. Well, if I quit, half the population would be carried off in the ambulance. No, "thaSTsafe^ "What I don't like is them kids that run in under the gates and across the tracks. If I could catch one I'd spank a little sense into him. Hullo, Tim, how's old 15 working today ? . . . That's good! So long! See you to- takinV-are perfectly^sincere and disinterested. As a matter of fact, tfcese co- operative enterprises do cgnduce to the strengthening of com- munity bonds. All concerned be- come better citizens. morrow4 "Up with the gates, boys! Come on! That's the second time to- day that fellow, stalled his car on the-traeksrâ€"Say, why doTrVyorrgef that car fixed ? Here comes Murphy in that nice new car of his. Wonder what he did with his old one! I'll put down the gates just in time to catch him. Did you hear wis brakes squeal?" JONATHAN GRAY You remember Jonathan Gray who died defending his right of way, and who is now just as dead as if he'd been wrong? Every driver ought to think of- ten of this martyr to strict ob- servance of legal regulations, right but dead. 2_JLL.jsojnjeJimes-4ia^pett reckless driver shoots across a boulevard directly in front of the car you are driving. He certain- ly ought not to tlo such a thing, and you are legally justified in smashing right into him. But what's the use? In fact it's best not to be ex- cited to profanity, or .even to anger, by these road fools. You meet them everywhere. If they're dangerous, avoid them. ^member-"Here lies tBe^body of Jonathan Gray." THE TRUCK HIGHWAY 1 Bvery few weeks sees the-tr- highway from Evanston through Glencoe on its way to realization. It won't be long now before there will be a heavy concrete roadway, forty feet wide, through these four prominent Itforth Shore" towns. -§ The late^r^s^iTtonivarxr is^ the acceptance, by men Representing these towns, of the $100,000 al- lotted to them by Cook County as its contribution to this laud- able work. _This f mount, though covering less than one-third the estimated total cost, will go far towards giving us what we have long neededâ€"a through truck high" flPKf?

Tn one short year seventeen million pieces of mail missed their true destination and were interned in the Dead Let- ter Office! And in these stray pieces pjLmaiLlhere was more than $100,- 000 in cash! Because of carelessly written addresses all this money failed to, reach its true owners. It's encouraging to believe that prob- ably the Dead Letter clerks correct- ly re-routed some of these poorly addressed communications. *?..:â- *â-  evenTa dress on envelope or wrapper were plainly . printed ? Would it work an unnecessary hardship were it re- quired that these addresses be print- ed by hand or press ? LELAND PIERSON The death of one young in years seems peculiarly untimely. One feels as if a man or woman cut off in the prime of life were somehow or other unfairly dealt with. Perhaps this feeling that an early death is especially to be mourned is not entirely justifi- able, but can we help sorrowing mrexJtheJloj«£r-ir4a4^de it has really blossomed?

The plans, which are steadily being developed, will make it ii the show place of America in magnificence of s^ope and beauty of detail. St. Mary-of-the-Lake, at Area, Illinois, is a seminary where young men are educated|f^ for the priesthood. The erectio&,o£Ji«ildings, roads and bridges, and the laving put of ||i| superb gardens, is going forward under the guidance of Archbishop George W. Munddein. The cost is to be approximately ten milliqn; dollars. Visitors are invited to St. Mary-of-the-Lake and we suggest that an early fall trip to Area by North Shore Line would be a delightful and long-remembered outing.
