WILL PREVENT SPEEDING Officialdom all along the shore is a little slow this year in getting ^out the automobile squad. Winnetka's chief of police is out on a motorcycle every once in a while, but it is understood that he has not made any. arrests yet, owing, probably, to the bad condition of Sheri- itan road. Wilmette is talking of joining with Glencoe and the other towns and putting a "motorcop" on the job, but nothing has been ^lonOet. ^ItlsTioped that actionln this line will not be put off long enough for the spring speeders to come to the conclusion that they ;:re to have a free hand and the right of way all along the shore. ..â- â- -."*---* ♦. ♦ * FOR SERVICES RENDERED The members of the G.

Though but two months old the association has a membership of more than fifty. It now in- cludes Wilmette, Kenilworth and Gross Point. It hopes to soon spread farther north and include in its membership all the business men to 4he county line. Ih other cities where such associations have been formed they have become one of the most important bodies in their locality. Matters of importance to the entire community are dis- cussed and freely commenteiLjiipon._JPublie matters and problems nertaining to the town are brought up and given close attention. Their influence is broad and far reaching.' The New Trier associa- tion 4s 4o4>e congratulated upon its fifie start and it is hoped that its members will be able to successfully Complete the work it has so well begun. That it will become a_hroade* and more useful organiza- tion as it grows older is an assured iact.- _^ii±i_^_â€"â€"~^- ^TT^^%;^<., â- â- â- .♦â- â™¦. + + + '§li:!0^%::::l: I FOR A SANE 'FOURTH.; -^li_^; - - ^â€"Though the Fourth of July <â-  ttimriy twi> month* away it is ni»t too ^Jearly for the council member* ivho fl^WI t^ djfftwnt North Shore Communities to Jay plans for * mm olwiTVimm* «f tho dny.

Conn/but Evanston has been Ms home since early boyhood. He was educated at Northwestern university. Politically Judge Levere has served his city as magistrate and city treas- urer, holding the latter office from 1901 to 1903. He was a member or the Illinois General Assembly during 4fee-4erm-o^4907-1909r-and-whUe at Springfield was especially active in behalf of local option and other leg- islation of a reform character. Those whom-he -represented-were^anxlous to reinstate Judge Leveredn the legis- lature at the beginning of the follow- ing term, but he refused to be re- turned. As a citizen Judge Levere ranks among the first. He.is a mem- ber of the Evanston CommerciaTas- gociatlon, the EvaiiBtOTr^^ciub, the- Westmoreland Country club, president of the Society for the Erection of Evanston Historical Tablets, and sec- retary of Evanston Historical society, and every question of vital importance pertaining to the welfare of the town and community that comes to 4risrne- tice is given his hearty attention and co-operation. Called upon to deliver lectures before various organizations, or to 'act as toastmaster at club, alumni and banquets, etc., Judge Le- vere responds entertainingly. Author. Mr, Levere has long Deen known as a litterateur. For several years he was editor of the Evanston Index, and since then has been largely en- gaged as a special writer.

It was produced for one year by the Slayton New ^Tork Stock- company. Vâ€"-=-- - ^" 7 _"~^ •"Twixt Greek and Barb^ |s a story of Northwestern university life. "Vi- vian of Mackinac" is an intensely in- teresting love story of adventure. The illustrations shown and the scenes depicted are so true to that of the island that it might, in a J sense, be termed an historic novel.
