No one can doubt that the value of the · North Shore as a suburban district lies in its ~atural surroundings. Its easy proximity to Chicago is indeed an important factor in its total value, but our North Shore suburbs would be of little value were Natural it not for the natural Surroundings surroundings. 0 ur lake and our trees make this area distinctly a most desirable residential area. Though perhaps the majority of our people do not see the lake once during the winter and only a few times in the summer, still there it is contributing its benefits, esthetic and hygienic, to old and young. Not a few, it must be maintained, have found the lake hard on throats and lungs and have moved farther inland. But, notwithstanding this, no North Shore resident would care to have the lake filled in and a wide prairie land stretching off to the east. The trees are our familiar friends. Everybody loves them. When a tornado uproots them, we mourn almost as if our human friends had been taken from us. Our trees, elms and oaks mostly, must not be allowed to sicken and die. From every window in almost every North Shore home one ~r more of these towering trees may be seen. Even in winter when bare of leaves they stand out against the grey sky, pleasing the eye with their black tracery. · They must be preserved. They have their natural enemies against which they must be protected. Open wounds must be skillfully treated. Dead branches must be removed. Our natural surroundings must be kept at all costs. The average vote, like you and me, will probably never be a candidate for public office. We lack both ambition and ability. If not .both these qualifications at least the first. So it is not at all likely that the average voter will ever have, or take, the chance Be ci Voter! to exercise his membership in the great American Democracy in any other .w ay than by voting. The average voter is not much at speechmaking~ If he had to gain· votes for his particular candidates by spell-binding he would probably do more harm than good. But he can vote, and his vote counts for just as much as the vote of the· greatest statesman or the biggest boss. It is therefore the plain duty of the average citizen to vote whenever he gets the opportunity. Our one hu.ndred and more million average citizens can make this government whatever they want it to be. They can kill graft and secure clean politics. They can smash the machine and put good men into office. · Vote on every occasion. Do more if ~ou get the chance. latest, the very latest, · in finger bowls is the running water finger bowl. Ever since that far-off day when we first laved our fingers after a too intimate meal we have longed for a bowl that would be adequate to our need for The 1,.,atest something more than a mere dip. And this in Bowls! longing was particularly acute after .our kind hostess had allowed us to pick up in our fingers a dripping drumstick and satisfy a ravenous appetite. After such a feast we did certainly need something more than a mere finger bow1. And now such a bowl has been contrived..

That he is an TYPICAL, AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYegoist and egotABLE. The Count from Dannstadt ist to boot is unpleasantly apparent. The extremely arrogant list of regulations sent out either by his business manager or himself is to be laughed at or thrown into the wastebasket. What surprises us not a little is that so many people should be willing to welcome into their homes and lecture halls men and women with such unprofitable doctrines. Most of what he has to say about women and their effect on men is either as old as the hills or outlandish. But the sensation won't last long. It never does in the States.
