Once we raked up some leaves and made a huge pile of them in the alley. We then applied a match, and it was no time beiore the willing breeze had transformed what W<rs DO YOU KNOW? Something m1usual is now going .on in China . It's a war of some kind, but do yott know whether it's foreign or domestic? Neither do we. Unless you are better informed than we are you don't know whether some greedy neighbor is attacking China or whether the Celestial Country itself is engaged in a benevolent assimilation of a slice of Manchuria. Doubtless some days ago you caught a fleeting glimpse in the foreign news section ,of some daily paper of a battle in Yu Pu between Y eng Seng and Seng Yeng. But you couldn't say just why they were fighting and you were not much concerned with the issue of the fight. However, if you heard the lecture given last Wednesday evening at the Wilmette Baptist church setting forth some reasons for the present upheaval in China you are much better informed than we supp,osed. And if you continue to give yourself this opportunity for every successive Wednesday evening up to and including December 10 you will be able thereafter to read Chinese news with real pleasure and profit. . .

Just here we made a mistake. In~ tead of standing guard until all danger of the fire's spreading had passed we answered the call of the dinner-bell. When we returned to the alley we found to our great surprise and consternation that dried leaves in the shrub border had caught fire and had already destroyed several full-grown barberry bushes. The next time we burn leaves we shall remain on the scene until the very last leaf has shriveled into its final blackness. \Ve urge others to profit by our experience and stand by any fire they start until it can no longer do harm. A fire beyond control is the devil's own agent of destruction. ' Keep your outdoor fires well within your control. .LIMITED HICA&D ALL DOWN!

It is a rule of the North Shore Line that a man must work at least two years with the railroad, in the train service, be... fore he can even qualify as a motorman. He must be a man of high moral standards- a clear thinker- a man of alert senses. He must pass a searching medical examination. He must undergo these examinations not once, but periodically as long as he is in the service. The North Shore motorman must have full knowledge of the mechanics and science of train control. Compare his qualifications with those of even the best of motorists. Thus will you realize you are truly in expert hands when you ride behind the North Shore motorman.
