' "Old** and "Young" Nick The use of the name "Old Nick" applied to Satan originated la the comparison drawn between the machinations of his satanlc majesty and those of Nlccolo Machiavelll. one of the greatest Florentine statesmen, born 1469. He was crafty and dissembling, a Arm believer In "the end Justifies the means." Samuel Butler in his "Hudibras" in writing of Machiavelll, says "Nick Machiavelll had ne'er a trick though he gave his name to ovr old Nick."

The state is represented by State's Attorney A. H. Pouse and his assistant, J. J. McCattley. The quartet is being tried jointly. Attorney V. S. Lumley is representing McGrath and Attorneys Henry Cowlin and D. R. Joslyn, Sr., are representing the other three alleged bandits. Joslyn is taking the place of Attorney William Carroll, who was appointed by the court to represent the . defense, but who was reported confined to his home with sickness Wednesday morning. The trial began at 10:30 Wednesday, with a large crowd present to hear the much-talked of case. At the very beginning of the trial Pouse and Joslyn disagreed on several points of law. Joslyn objected to haying Lieutenant Dixon of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad detective bureau occupy a chair near the state's attorney, stating that Dixon was the one who framed the case. The statement brought Pouse to his *feet with an objection. Several times during the trial the state's attorney and Mr. Joslyn engaged in legal tilts, much to the enjoyment of the court fans. Hans Kallhauge, proprietor of a billiard hall in Woodstock was convicted of operating slot machines by a jury just before the box car case was begun. Since the opening of the March term of court, Attorneys Pouse and McCauley have secured four straight convictions and feel rather proud of their record. Members of the Crystal Lake Country Club have given $224.50 toward the Camp Algonquin fund, the check being received by the Chicago Tribune Feb. 27. The sum represented the contributions from individual members and will be applied with other money toward the maintenance of the camp. The good the camp does for tenement children is something of great worth and the help given by the country club members shows that golf is not the only activity that members there have a part in. .CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS'.

Petesch has purchased the Perry home on Richmond Road, which he and his family have rented for a number of years. ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE . While Zenas and (Augustim Barrantes, the North Chicago leper, hsve been deported to Mexico, North Chicago residents have again started a row over the fact that the mother and sister of the two boys are still living in the city, going about in public places, riding in street cars and taking part? in civic affairs as usual. When Dr. J. L. Miller discovered the lepers, it was nearly nine months before he was able to get the federal g^oviernment in action enough to send them back to Mexico. At that time he attempted to have the entire family deported on heir admission that they had smuggled themselves into America by employing the ruse that they were crossing the U. S. border from Mexico to do some buying in a ^mall border town and would return to Mexico at night. f t ? •7 ? 7 7 7 7 7- T 7 7 7 7 T ? 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 t7 7 Tax Reduction Allowed . .Effective at one3. the delivered prices of all Chevrolet models is reduced. . Chevrolet Jwyers will be given the benefit of the recent tax reduction, though it does not become officially operative until March ** 29. Thus for the third time since the first of the year Chevrolet emphasises its supremacy in dollar for dollar value. First--Reduced" Prices Early in January Chevrolet announced sweeping price reductions. Then--the Improved Chevrolet Shortly thereafter the improved Chevrolet was announced at these reduced prices. Instantly it met with such an increase in popularity that it became neccssary to break all previous production records lor January and February. And Now--A Further Saving e> Although the reduction in automobile taxes does not become officially effective for some time, the full amount of this reduction is now passed on to Chevrolet buyers. . Thus Chevrolet again emphasises that principle of value~on which it has built the greatest success ever attained by any manufacturer of modern gear shift automobiles. .Coine in!
