He was one of the few men in official circles who weathered the trying days of the World war by remaining at his important post of duty in the face of criticism of the bitterest kind. He remained Secretary of the Navy throughout the Wil son administration, retiring in 1921 to return to private life. Mr. Daniels became a newspaper editor at ~he age of 18 years.

Officials Favor Through Streets as Aid to Traffic Stop sign. placed at intersections along Central aYenue by the Chicago ).f otor club several months ago are a hindrance rather than an aid and cause a situation that is fraught with many dang-ers. Trustee Clarence E. Drayer declared at the meeting of the Village board this week. Either the stop signs should be taken down or Central avenue legally made a through street, Mr. Drayer continued. Central avenue is not a through street and the signs are being promiscuou ly disregarded with the re. ult that accidents are imminent at every intersection. 1\.fr. Drayer also suggested that Lake avenue also be made a through street, it being a through artery from Sheridan road to Ridge avenue. Other trustees felt that Wilmette avenue should be legally designated a through street. The matter was referred bv Presirlcnt Orner to the Streets and Alleys committee of the board for investigation and recommendation. Paul A. Hoffman is chairman of this committee.
