According to the story: *"St. Sxarithin's day, gif ye do rain, For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin's day, an ye be fair, For forty days 'twill rain no rnair." St. Swithin, "the weeping saint," was tutor to the son of the first king of Eng* land. Before his death, he asked that he be buried in the churchyard of the minister. A hundred years after his death, the priests sought to honor him by placing the body in the church, and fixed July 15 for the services. It rained day after day for forty days, until at last they let the body lie where St. Swithin had wished it. _.e oDje. collect 2,000 unusual and favorite ipes from the 3,000 riwmbecs of their Irority in chapters representijjg the ding universities and J^!^^ «^ oveffj^^^^ ect through a local committee, 500 the best of the 2,000 recipes sent it, id publish them in a College Woman's, ok-Book, to be sold for fifty cents. e first edition of 15,000 books came the press last May, and a second tion of 35,000 the first of July.

Leonard, the fastest driver of the week, was stopped on Sheridan road just* after-he had pushed his ma- chine to 38 miles an hour. He paid for his distinction when the judge said, '"$20 and costs." Rothier, who shared with Leonard the spotlight of the week, wasn't going so fast. He won distinction in another way â€"by frequency of arrests. He is a grand opera singer, a member of the Metropolitan Opera company and one of the stars at Ravinia Park. On Tuesday, August 7, he was trying out a new car on Sheridan road, Winnetka. The car was good and the road tempting. He stepped on the gas, the car shot ahead. So did one of Winnetka's riders. Rothier was arrested for violating the speed law. , The weather was pleasant on the next day, . Wednesday. Leon went out for another ride. This time he got as far as Wilmette. His car was still good and Sheridan road still inviting. Per- haps he didn't notice how fast he was going. Maybe he didn't see the speed- ometer, but motorcyclist John De Groot knew he was going too fast. He gave chase and the long arm of the Wilmette law stopped the opera singer. "Tell it to the judge," said the officer. Rothier did. *'$10 and costs," said the judge, "for going 34 miles an hour on Sheridan road." Sunny California A home in golden California!

It was the sense of the meeting that the Improvement association should tfeprecate any movement by so-called assessment experts, who have circu- larized the property owners with of- fers to represent them in the County court on a percentage basis, according to a report of last Friday's session.

President Venables at Friday's meet- ing appointed a committee to confer with Postmaster Shantz for the pur- pose of securing mail carrier service for that portion of Wilmette lying west of 15th street and south of Wil- mette avenue. The residents of this territory, it was stated at the meeting, are now compelled to travel over a mile to the village post office in order to secure their mail. The association tendered a vote of thanks to Henry Haack, and other members of a committee recently ap- pointed to appear before the County Board of Assessors in an effort to se- cure a reduction of the taxing valua- tion in Wilmette, for his success, in conjunction .with Village President Zipf, in securing a 15 per cent hori- zontal reduction for the village. Tackle Traffic Problem Efforts to eliminate the hazardous traffic conditions at the Lake and Wilmette avenue intersections with the newly paved Ridge avenue, were decided upon by the Improvement as- sociation. It was planned to secure a conference on the matter with vil- lage and county authorities. It was also stated at the meeting that the association would take steps to secure more adequate protection for pedes- trians at the congested Sheridan road and Lake avenue intersection where the almost constant stream of motor traffic has made it dangerous for pe- destrians to cross the boulevard on their way to and from the bathing beach and Lake Front park.
