While state andrrouty officiais slyly wink, at one .anotier., and local officiais.whrvwôuild do sornthing if they could but seemn to be at a loss. what action-to take. are inactive, the sellinq of hoth beer and bard liquor goes merrily on in No Man's Land. It is a recurrenice of the audaclous'contenipt i which public opinion wvas hield bv the liquor in- térests in t he davs before the prohibition experi- ment. It is the same floutin.9 of the righits and opinions and desires of a .aort of the voteèrs, if that miajoritv votes to prohibit saloons*. that ' Marked the saloon eeent before it claimed to lowntess.o! thie promises niade to induce* American citizens to vote for repeal1 of theeighteenth amendment, that the saloon, as constituted in other:,days, would not be permnitted. Those prom-7 ises came pot only from the-liquor traffic itself, but from both the major political parties, the plat-, forms ot whicb solemnly obligated them to pre- vent the tragedy of the old saloon. The party in power. from its highest to its lowest spokesman', rnay properly be charged with a.deliberate viola- tion of its pledges, o! "double-crossinig" the peo- ple ini the interests of an institution that bias,;al- *wavs been an outlaw. Now that local option obtains in this state. it is the, legal rigbt of the voters of a municipaliti ~or unit of goverriment to decide whetber beer and fiquor may, be sold at retail. Ut would be jusi as * .reprehensible for those opposed to, sucb sales to prevent thern by force as. it is for owners t'O operate saloons in -territory where the*people bave. clearly expressed their -opposition. In ail the vil- lages,, and in. that part of New Trier townsbip lying outside of any village, tbe voters by over- wbelming majorities voted to prohibit sucb sales. WhY, then. is their iegally expressed desire so one would desire to withhold such support in any enterprise or entertainment by which they would be benefited. But the proposed pageant, in which they are to be recruited into "storm troops" to put the thing over, will only be addi- tional workc without any profit. PAY HEED: (;roups int erested in.maintaining-the fine .ap- pearanice of the village ànd'preserving the.health of- the comrnuntiy, are urging citizens to pay special attention' to. the ,destruction of. obnoxious weeds, which Qfer a reai menace in both direc.- tioéns. Rank growt.hs, of weeds 'on, vacant lots, are no t alone an eyesorie and a danger, but -they- con- stitute an ever-recurring ex pense.in the keeping*. up of the fine lawns whicb characterize the vil- lag e. Rag-weeds and poison ivy are singled out as being especially obnoxious and danigerous. It is, to 'be.hoped that citizens owning vacant lots will see 'that they are cleared of, ail weeds. [Lots oivned bv non-residents offer a.serions prob- lem, as most such owners are, not particularly interested in.appeara nceor thle security of health. In such cases it is better for neighboring owners to clear the adjacent lots than permit them tQ remain in an unsightly condition. Coopération witb the interested. groups should be luniversal throughout the village. It wllbe time well spent. RCEMODELLING> The tbougbts of real estate owners, especially those whose properties comprise outmoded resi- dences, are more andi more turning to remodel- ling. as the Ineans for rebuilding the shrunken values. that have madet continued, ownership un- profitable. In an effort to be helpful this paper is showing, from week to week, examples of in- telligent redesigning and partial rebuilding that have wrought the most astonisbing transforma- tions> in the most commnonplace home structure$. As the depression has been responsible for. loweredvalues, go also it has sbown the way to advantages tbat beretofore were scarcely tbought of, much less seriously considered.

Few citizens of the nortb shore will attend tlle inating home buyer. Many o! these fine old places can be purchased now at reasonablë prices which insure a generous profit on remodelling costs. It.is not difficult to envisage a recon- structed and beautified nortb shore if these op- pOrtunities are embraced. e pertect i ther.

One-haif of the "Siamese Twins" wants to get >married, and the other half consents. But New York officiais say not in that prudisb community. It is well that the twins agree, because "united they stand," and they cannot be divided. But *pity the.. poor would-be groomn.

Only a short time ago Mr. Scott and bis, technocrats bad us ail jump- ing, sidewise foôr f ear, that some terrible monster known as a machine would gobble uis L up and w e would be 'no more. They almost iduced us to throw ,away our money and accept our weekiy stipend in ergs, *which were to be de- posited in a ýconi.munity de-- p osjto r or exchanged for goods andJ change ýaccepted in other ergs. The main idea was that the machine must, bc ham-strung so that the ini- diviîdual might have full sway to earn bis keep.-b,- the toil of bis hands. In other words, back to, fundamentals. But Mr. Scott disappeared into oblivion while hjis theori.es lived. And now what do you think? Instead of encouraging primitive methods they are trying to pass. a law to ]keep horse-drawn vehicles out of down-town Chicago, thus givirig aid and comfort to the monster machine. Happy. birtbday,.
