Life in the shopping loop after Thanksgiving will be subject to unusual risks and hazards. Ladies and girls should take out life and accident insurance before embarking on the ultra-dangerous invasion of the big stores. Indeed, it seem ~ to us that a trip into the jungles of Africa would be· less dangerous. Any man who has seen hi s women-f.olk just after they have ·em erged fron1 the holiday wrestling tnatch in the loop will share this view with us. All of which decides us to do our holiday shopping nearer home. (' '.ore· l~ . 1nes ~ ~ It seems rather a pity that each anniversary of Armi stice Day is not accompanied by th e same un iversal demonstrations of patriotic fervor a s v.~ as that memorable day November ·11, 1918. Where were you that day? And what happen ed? Do tell us about it! ... ' NJ>rth shore residents find it easy to att~nct concerts anti recitals in Chicago. · Transportation by steam, Notth ·Shore electricity and gasoline is frequent and tolerably . MUsic comfortable. As a result many of our fellow citizens may be seen in Orchestra Hall and in the. Auditorium, as well as in lesser known hall.~, during the week and on Sunday afternpons. it will not be long before north shore people will not need to spend the better par~ of an hour traveling south in order to listen to music of various values. The time willl soon come when practically all our 'mu~ic lovers will need only to ride or walk a blocks to get satisfaction. Just arofind the corner on an afternoon or evening an orchestra, second to none, will be presenting a program of excellent compositio$, <?r one of the world's greatest singers wiW be giving a recital. We already ·have the privilege of hearing Das:ch's orchestra in the assembly hall at New Trier every few .weeks during the season. At an expense of a small sum one rna~ hear this orchestra. Chamber music recitals are given regularly in Kenilworth . Tlle· Winnetka Music Club sponsors a series of ~olo recitals by such tnusicians as Casals and , Gabrilowitsch. · Tito Schipa, regarded by inany as the foren1ost living tenor, sings in this series. On Sunday evenings in Wilmette .it frequently happens that outstanding ; musicians may be heard. Pipe_ organ reci~als are given often. It may be justly said that no small part of the value of living on the nor.t h shore is that which attends the hearing of these concerts and recitals, which are yearly rising to the metropolitan level. ! Bf.t t:ew Put yourself in his place. That's the best way to get the point of view of another person. Do you want to know In His. how the postman feels as he does his daily w,ork? Imagine Place · yourself getting a bag of mail at the post office and delivering .it fron1 door to door. Put yourself in his place. Using this method you can get a pretty good line on the train conductor, the kindergartner, the tired n1other. the bank president, the motor cop. What's the best way of finding out the thoughts and feelings of the school boy and the sch,ool girl. Put yourself in their respective places. Imagine yourself going to school, marching down the hall, entering the classroom, studying, reciting and having a session with the principal. You'll know more .afterwards than you did before. Did we say this was the best way? Yes? well it isn't! There's a better. And that's actually going to school, actually being in a class, actually getting your meal in the cafeteria. That's what's going on on parent's . nights in our · high school and our grade schools. It certainly is a top notch way of getting next to school children and school teachers. We wish parents had done thi s when we were school children. One's religious life is broadened and deepened by an unprejudiced study of the Bible. A scientific understanding of the two Testaments, the Old and the New, will give one a valuable insight into the customs and ideas of the ancient Hebrews. The student's own spiritual life will be quickened by this increase .o f knowledge. Ideas are not given by one person to another. My ideas are mine and can never be another's. All that the speaker can do is to set in motion air waves or ether waves, which n1ay strike another person's ears or eyes and start nervous currents, which may be followed in that person's mind by ideas. So if you want the other fellow to have an idea similar to yours you had better first see what kind of a receiving apparatus he has. If people would only like to drive more slowly; if they w,ould only like to stop hurrying and to start for their destination a little earlier; if they would only hate to run into other cars and kill and get killed ; if they would only ' rather be safe than sorry, why, then, the hospitals and cemeteries would not be so crowded. w e have di scover ed a young man who i!-; co mpelled t o witness th e impending Army -Nav.Y ga m ~ a t no cos t whatever to himself.

Late last week our hero uahered "Spots," a wabbly fami1hed . shadow of a canine, into our midst, wb~re the unfortunate one was forthwith treated to a square meal, clothed with the mantle of generosity (quoted from Wickie) and ita wounds of adversity salved and bound with tender and soothing kindness. Came evening of the same day and "Spots" located a comfortable home in exchanae for watch-dog privileges at the residence of Mac, the lunch king, the confines of which were thoroughly ransacked a few days in advance of his arrival. Thus we have one in stan ce of "Gin's" claim to c'a nine -itarian procliviti es . H ere, · however, we mu st note still another. Scarcely had Spots been properly placed with an indulgent household when "King," a youthful memb er of police dog persuasion (about 75 per cent ), came cantering along as guest of the type-e atin g terrier. It was a bitter cold day and King, in true vagabond fashi on, im mediately availed him self of a plenteous supply of ·canned heat, munched a stack of cri sp bones, slept the sleep of the innocent, and readil y s ubmitted to housing for the night in the local bas tile , there to await the arrival of it s ow ner, if an y. Bearding the Lion in His Den "Only stage seats left," droned the ushers at the Tito Schipa concert las.t Monday. But Society-with-a-capital-S, gasped and halted, shy~y, before the seventy lonely chairs waitillg so patiently on the stage, seventy chairs that were more conspicious to Society's modest eyes than the Rock of Gibraltar, and Society balked. It raced madly up and down stairs, feverishly searched every nook and cranny for preato-ehango-aeata, stood with a Jaunted look at the rear of the hall, avowing that it would not intrude upon the s.acred aura Mr. Schipa was to cast upon the stage. But, in the end, when the fatal hour of beginning drew perilously near-Rome fell. ... -P. R. ·L.

In a week or two it will be ~ .-· at se1ection and survival of the fittest. It was reported early this week that Wiltberger, Evanston's correspondet1ce school chief of police and nemesis of student "rioters," has decided upon a nice, quiet week-end in Cicero. Perhaps you haven't heard that Moon Baker and company are ahout to annex the decennial victory over Alonzo's singing Maroons? I~ the dear boys will only not mol est the new stadium.
