Sherman Baker: x "Poet, wilderness guide, lecturer and educator are only four of the many vocations and avocations of Lew Sarett, coâ€"author with William ‘Trufant Foster of ‘Personal Power Through Speech.‘, This remarkable book which has been adopted by over #wo hundred schools under the title *Basic Principles of Speech‘, has just been released in an edition for the general public, and everyone inâ€" terested in speech improvement or in speaking before groups should find in this book the answer to his problem. _ For ‘Personal Power Through Speech‘ is probably the most comprehensive and thoroughly practical single volume on this subâ€" ject. It combines the years of teachâ€" ing experience of both authors with Mr. Sarett‘s poetic insight, his pracâ€" tical experience as a successful lecâ€" turer, and his dominating and magâ€" netic personality.â€"It is not merely m lucid exposition of the principles of effective speaking for Conversaâ€" tion to Radio Broadcasting, but it is also an anthology of the most inâ€" spirational prose and poetry of our time." English Magazine Commends Noted Author On Work "Lew Sarett was born in Chicago but at an early age his family moved to Marquette, Mich., on Lake Superior, Here he gained that inâ€" tensive love of fields, and forest, and the wilderness that is reflected in his poetry. The difficult years that followed on his return to Chicago when he helped support his mother as an errand boy, were an unhappy interlude until they again moved to‘ Michigan â€" country of sand dunes and woods, of streams, and fruit farms." "After high school he worked his way through seven years of college study at Michigan, Beloit, Illinois and Harvard and in the years that followed he became a U. S. Ranger, athletic director and Canadian guide. & While instructing at the Univerâ€" sity of Illinois he wrote his first poem in 1920, ‘Many, Many Moons‘, his first book of nature and Indian poems was published.

North Chicago, construction of a huge sewer system in S. Genesee street, relocating the Nerth Chicago Junction station of the North Shore line, and repaving the highway from Great Lakes thru North Chicago and down Genesee street to the Sheridan road cutoff. The action followed a conference between representatives of Waukeâ€" gan, â€" North Chicago, the, North Shore railroad and state engineers in the district highway. offices at Chicago. _ All parties concerned stamped their approval on the genâ€" eral engineering plan. k The next step, it was explained, lies in removing legal blocks in the rightâ€"ofâ€"way path. According to the plan, Sheridan road will be comnected south of Twentyâ€"second street by a subway grade separation under the North Western railroad tracks, while the Skokie route of the electric line will be separated at the Twentyâ€"second street crossing by a similar separaâ€" tion. Cost of the two bridges was tentatively set at $499,690. The plans call for establishing a $30,000 sewer system in Genesee street between May street and the Sheridan road cutoff, with huge reâ€" lief mains in South avenug into Lake Michigan. It is included in the reâ€" paving plans for Genesee street beâ€" tween the cutoff and the city limits, estimated to cost $115,100.

Parking meters, to control motor vehicle parking and relieve congesâ€" tion in heavily overâ€"crowded shopâ€" ping districts, are sure to be adoptâ€" ed eventually by many cities in Illinois, says Carl A. Barrett, presiâ€" dent of the Illinois Automobile club. Parking meters are a boon to busiâ€" ness, he says, helping nearbyâ€"merâ€" chants to get more customers while garages and parking lots in the vicinity will also profit. The small fee charged, Mr. Barrett contends, is not an additional tax on motorâ€" ists, but rather is payment for the privilege of convenient parking close to the store to be patronized. meters and most of them are now staunch champions of the system, for it has proved a boon to business. Only a fair trial can determine their value. If desirable, they can be kept; if undesirable, they can be removed. They are certainly enâ€" titled to such a trial." "Many motorists have been led to consider parking meter charges as ‘just another tax‘ and oppose them for that reason," says Mr. Barrett. How can money thus colâ€" lected be a tax, when its payment is entirely optional, as motorists may or may not pay it at their own disâ€" cretion? That is not the usual way taxes are collectedâ€"at the option of the taxpayer "Parking meters will, I am conâ€" fident, in time become as essential to municipal traffic regulation as are traffic signs and signals. Of course parking in a metered space will cost a small fee, usually a nickel. But what of it? What does it cost now in time, temper and gasoline to cruise the district searching for a place to park? There is a distinct advantage to both sellâ€" er and buyer in providing the maxâ€" imum of parking space. "Question has also been raised as to whether cities have legal power to enact an ordinance providing for metered parking spaces on their streets. ‘The Illinois Cities and Vilâ€" lages Act gives cities almost unâ€" restricted power to regulate the use of the streets and to regulate frafâ€" fic. I believe the use of parking meters is entirely within the law.
