Under ordinary con- ditions it will keep the lawn a vivid graen during "the period when the vl tallty of the plant Is low.

A Pretty Place. Even now the park has takenorTa atmosphere of green beauty~snd the city in accepting this gift from the Commercial association has added an- other breathing spot for our people and hgs changed a harsh public ex- terior Into a bower of summer loveli- ness. By those who wish the city to make a good Impression on the passer- by, the beautiflcation of this site is considered nothing less than strategic. The travelers who pass through our city both by the Northwestern rail- road and by the elevated road can see down Into Housel park from the train and the city could scarcely have a better advertisement. Benjamin Housel, in whose honor it is proposed the new park shall be named, has served the city for many years as superintendent of streets and in other official positions. It was he who created for the city the parks which extend along the lake shore from almost our southermost bound- ary to the university campus. Begin- ning with an Inadequate beach, with out any additional men or equipment to do the work, other than the usual city force, he gradually and r'uletly builded the system of lake shore parks and drives which have added so much to our lake front. It Is true. In doing this Housel had to use the refuse of the city and" at times he has had to light every Inch of the way It was hot unnatural that many who! resided near the lake made strenuous objec- tions, for then- have been timet, when the odor from some of the dumpings has been unpleasant, but Housel had the larger vision and the result nas vindicated him. The ground alone he has made fur the city has a value which mounts up into the liio.dr.-ds of thousands of dollars. It Is because "My mother is dead; my father is out of work; and my brothers and sis- ters are hungry for bread." This la the plea advanced by two little Chi- cago boys who vlsi ted many places in North Kvanston Monday begging for money. They were such tiny tots that one party who was approached won- dered that they should be so far away from their home at such a late hoar. It was 9 o'cloek when the man tele- phoned the police to have them inves- tigate the boys* trouble. Policeman Ruland caught stelit of the boys on Central street, tic was several blocks away. One of the boys ran. The other did not know what to do so he waited for the officer. Huland questioned him and found that their story was a fake; that both had parents. So the policeman took the small boy with him to the station where he gave his name as Louis Gordon, 1412.Holt.ave- nue, Chicago, age 13 years. Bui be was small for bis age. He seemed sorry for his deed. He said he had been induced'by his com- panion to come to Evanston and earn some money in that way. It was the first time he had ever done it, he said. The lad said the other boy was Frank Novak, age 14 years. But Frank, too, is small for his age. Louis was- kept at the police station last night. Policeman Ben Slegele took the lad to the cell rooms. It was very dark. "Ben" brought the little boy to a dark cell in one corner of the basement.___^_ . --___------------ "Ob, please do not put me there,' pleaded the little mite. "It Is so dark." So the lad was put In a lighted cell here he remained until his father ailed for him this morning. "Both boys will be turned over to the juvenile authorities," said Chief or Police Fred Shaffer this morning were In debt for the hospital and the doctors, and Ave months back on the rant They were living on $2 a week from the county and $5 a month from the church. Our commlttee moved the family to a cheaper house and money was given them to pay the rent and to bay extra food. The man soon went back to work and for some time the family have been self-supporting and planning to pay their debts. Besides these families mentioned the committee baa records of ten other families In the village and a number of transients. It Is the plan of the committee ,to raise n fund to admin- ister these charities. We feel confi- dent that every family In the village Is anxious to have a share In the work and we have decided to make a house to house canvass before June 16 to re- ceive contributions. One dollar from each family will enable the committee to continue the care of cases as need be. to establish a labor bureau and to sell second-hand clothing: At present there are about fifty families who would be glad of the opportunity to purchase second-hand clothing.
