Collections for 1927 are being made at the present time. With a tax rate of thirty cents on the hundred dollar valuation, this will yield the sum of $23,997,000 in taxes, or approximately $2,000,000 less than 1925, when a total of $33,002,878 was proaatomobile driveia mast be Caagtit in adolescence Chicago West Park police believe. Accordingly, after Straggling with the national problem of motor accidents and deaths, they have adopted a policy of teaching instead of punishing offenders of traffic laws. Instead of being ordered to pay fines or sent to cells, they are sentraced to. "school" and enrolled as atadents in the violators' classes. This Is not a "stunt" ou the part of the boulevard police but a permanent routine resulting from a four years' trial of the experiment That It has been very successful is attested by the fact that in 1927 there were only 27 deaths In that district resulting from careless driving and in the last three and onehalf years only one child has been killed on the way to and from school although about 90,000 cross the boulevard system every day at least four times. The area embraced in the boulevard system where traffic is handled by education Instead of fear covers 50 miles of thoroughfares. The method of procedure is much the same as exists the country over, so that when tbe violators come to court they have their tell-tale cards of admission bearwitness to high speed, parking without lights, left-hand turns, turning In the middle of the boulevard or some other of the many prohibited acts. It Is a rather significant fact that among the violators of traffic laws age outnumbers youth two to one.

An agreement has been reached by the Robertson Aircraft corporation, St Louis, and the American Express company for express service by airplane between St. Louis, Springfield, Peoria and Chicago. The express will be carried on the same planes which now carry passengers and mail, the aircraft firm announced. The cost of mail express will be 25 cents for each quarter pound with a minimum charge of $1.00. At the destination of the airplanes the express company will take charge of the shipments as It now does with consignments over rail. The service will connect with the trans-continental express now In effect through contract routes. In addition to the St. Louis-Chicago routes a line betwen St. Louis and g""" City Is being contemplated. Many of the bottomless mud-holes which travelers have found in the dirt roads of Illinois during the past winter are the typical "slick spots" now definitely recognized by scientists as a flaw In the soils in certain sections of the state, according t<} E. A. Norton, of i&e soli survey division, college of agriculture, University of Illinois. These spots vary in size from a few feet to several miles square and In some localities they make up ten per cent of the total soil area. When dry the spots become very hard and resist further penetration of water. When they are thoroughly wet however, they take on more water readily and seem bottomless. In this stage, the soli In them lias a smooth or slick feel--fro® wtawce the spots get their name. Wanton and thoughtless destruction of bubble bees may prove a real ^danger/* £»r. Theodore EL Firson, Systematic entomoloslat at tbe state USnxnri imtory survey, believes. Tbe danger, he declared, will outweigh temporary damage Inflicted upon the persons who destroy the bees' hives. It will be hindering the propagation of clover seed. "There has been much discussion," he said, "about other Insects pollinating red clover, but after all is said and done, the fact remains that most of the clover seed produced in most sections of this country Is due to the activities of the bumble bees."

Eddy, seventy, retired, of the Illinois National Ouard, died at his home in Glencoe, a few days ago, Brigadier General Eddy was a lieutenant colonel of the One Hundred Thirty- first infantry regiment during the World war and saw service for a year overseas.
