Through th e entire poem run foot notes, drawin g the reader's attention to other. shorter poems in the same book, and among these shorter poems you may fi nd the most pleasing ones, for they hav e been thought by some to be "the ri chest poems of our time, poems steeped in that extraordinary blend of intellect and emotion which is Frost's particular magic. t "We Explore the Great Lakes," is a book which gives us another opportunity to see ourselves as others see us and · also to see the country in which we live an!l the territory adjoining.

Entrances to Chicago from South, Benefited "Traffic congestion on the south side of Chicago will be considerably relieved when a number of additional entrances to the city have been completed" says a bulletin issued by the highway department of the Chicago Motor club. In a communication received by the club, John ] . Sloan, president of the Board of Local Improvements, outlines the developments on the various improvements to date~ The widening of 22d street between Michigan avenue and Calumet ave nue is now on hearing in court a s is Indiana avenue from 16th street to 22nd street. The former takes 54 feet off the south side of the street and the latter 34 feet off the east side.

Widen South Park Proceedings are in court for ' widening South Park avenue between 63rd street and 67th street. Surveys are being made for the extension of Cottage Grove avenue from ll5th street to 130th street; 130th street from Cottage Grove avenue to Torrence avenue; Brainard avenue from I 30th street to 133rd street; 134th street from Brainard avenue west to the line of what is virtually South Park avenue; 103rd street from Cottage Grove avenue to Torrence avenue and a paving proceeding on Torrence avenue from 95th street to 103rd street. An estimate is being prepared for paving Torrence avenue from 112th street to 130th street. When the county bridge now under construction ~~ !38th street and Torrence avenue 1s completed, the city should provide for a small bridge at 134th street and Torrence avenue, which would be available for both Torrence and 134th, due to the angle the stream makes at that point, and that would make a through connection along Torrence avenue to connect with the paved county highways south of 138th.
