DO UNTO OTHERS as you would be done by ! MRS. EARLE BARBER One statement made by Superintendent Washburne concerning the lat e Mrs. Earle Barber of Winnetka, is e. pecially met~orable. "Her clear mental vision and remarkable executive ability gave her the power to put into Practice the thing that were dictated by her heart." A rare and most valuable combination! She could do \\'hat she fc'lt. The criticism of the Idealistic philosopher, Bron. on Alcott, was that he wa an embodiment of "stimulation without precision." Mrs. Barber was a case of stimulation WITH precision. What a rare combination! Most people are strong on one side and weak on the other. Where can you find a good blend of cool intelligence and warm emotion? If. a man is strongly emotional he is very likely to be muddleheaded and wobbly. If he is remarkably reasonable he is probably a man of the type of Shakespeare's Brutus, logical but foolish, fated to be swept aside by another impulsive, but practical, Antony. The great fault of humanity is that these tw.o qualities are so rarely conjoined in one and the same person. And when they are intermingled in a man or a woman a leader has been given to the world. An interaction of heart and brain produces just those goods that the world needs. When such a person dies s,ociety su.ffers a real loss. .E WILMETT E LJF ORTH SHORE' N L INE .

We of the North Shore Line have rec.. ognized that while a railroad consists of rails and rolling stock, it is the people we employ that make it popular or unpopular. Our equipment is the best that can be procured- but in addition, we have that asset that is priceless: employes who have found a way to make every contact with passengers of the North Shore Line a friendly one. For this reason, travelling on the North Shore Line is particularly pleasant. Fast, frequent trains from the center ot Milwaukee to and through Chicago's Loop to 63rd Street on the South Side serve every intermediate community.
