But very often we can't even have new floors built into our old houses, and so we need to be reminded that linoleum covering is the very best way to hide the old ones. You can have a mighty attractive and permanent floor if you use the genu-ine lineoleum, not one of the substitutes, and have it laid properly by an expert from the reputable store where you bought it. There are linoleums in plain colorings and other neat patterns which are appropriate and also very artistic for your bedroom, and which form a splendid background for one or two inexpensive rugs. Think of the sanitation which you then would have and also the peace of mind. When waxed occasionally, the genuine tineolum practic~lly never wears out. 21 Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haradoe of Marshalltown, Iowa, tpent S....7 with Mr. and Mrs. L. E.

Of course boudoir sltppers are supposed to be worn UI'On the occasions of robing and disrobing, but they somehow are very often misplaced or are ·_tot within arm's reach, so that you are torever unconsiously jeopardizing your comfort and inviting the possibility of blood poisoning by tramping around the old boards. With children and especially babies in the house the undesirability of old floors is tenfold increased.

That Innocent play has deyelopcd into pure vandalism. Much property is destroyed, citizens are assauked and Hallowe'en has changed from the Eve of AU Saints to the night of devils and a school for crime. As if one such night were not enough, during recent years another reign of terror bOAs been added, which the bandits name a picket night. . Parents who would be offended if classed as bad citizens, permit their children to prowl the streets on those nights, knowmg- it is for the express purpose of annoying their neighbors and de~troying property ; which is the children's way of showing appreciation for all the money collected during the year for their pleasure, for playgrounds of all kinds. for beaches, shore camps, week-end hiking clubs and vacations in the woods. For the same reason that the hold-up man slugs his victim because he has no valuables on his person, the children, traveling in gangs of considerable numbers, have even assaulted citizens for trying to guard their own property. It is but a step from this school for crime to the regular hold-up gang and the penitentiary and, for the children's sake, it is time to make enough examples as to be a warning to others. It is useless to continue as we have been-arresting a few, holding for a few hours and then letting them go with a lecture. It is that sort of thing-no punishment at all-that has so worked a~ to make the trouble unbearable. It is time to gh·e such children and their parents something to remember; which can be done with a real prosecu,tion, with no heed to the attempted influence to drop the case that is usually brought to bear. The situation is unfortunate but must be corrected. -A Property Owner . 1t is the plain duty of every citizen to support the church, without which \tVilmette could not support us. Are YOU doing your part? The church \vants YOU. Not just your tnoney, but your attendance at church services, your active interest in church enterprises, vour work for the church extension, your personal effort in evangelisn1.
