"1\Iother" is the most sacred of all name s. So fa r as \\' e kn ow it mak es a u n iversa 1 a ppeal to all that is best in a man. The surest way to insult a real man is to show di sr espect for his mother. The surest way to gain his friend ship is to re spect and admire his tnother. The mother of Tesus is the type of all that is 1no. t self-sacrificing in humanity. The g~eatest gift that a mother can give a son is sympathetic understanding. :A father, occupied with providing financial suppu rt for hi s family, lacks the intimate contact which the mother ·experience s. Therefore it will probably always be true that a son will find his tnother's ear open to a11 his trials and triumphs, little as well as big. Remembering her quick and ready sympathy he loves and reveres her to the very close of his life. When Tenth Street is paved, auto traffi.~ will have· a first-c1as s entrance into and exit fronl' the busy town of Wilmette. Drivers speeding south on Sheridan Road from A Good Exit Kenihvorth and points and Entrance north can, just at the entrance to No Man's Land, turn slightly to the .right and find themselves on an imriroved thorou~, hfare leading via Wilmette Avenue into the business center of Wilmette. If these same drivers desire to continue southwest through Wilmette they can· do so by simply following Wilmette _ \venu e. Traffic desiring to get frotn Wilmette to points north can easily do so by reversing the above procedure. H'rretofore the only northern exit s fron1 \Vilmette east of the tracks have been either Sheridan Road and, five long blocks west, Cumnor Road. We wonder how many hundred 1notorists driving west on Che stnut A venue from Sheri. .dat1 Road have come to the conclusion that there \vere no streets connecting Wilmette with l(~ni]worth. · · We under stand that the To\\·nship High\\'ay Commissioner is actiYely considering the paving of this nov; unpaved portion of Tenth Street. ] fe can't start the \\'Ork too soon t o plea se plenty of autoists.

Life cannot he so pleasant to them as it is to those who being physically fit can g.o back and forth to their various occupations every day and can live at hom~. A hospital is not a home. Moreover, it is sometimes hard for those who live in homes to realize how much flowers, tobacco, and visits mean to those in hospitals. But every week we learn of societies of various kinds, one of whose privileges it is to do what they can to n1ake the lives of these disabled boys less monotonous and tiresome. Perhaps the n1ost prominent of all these relief agencies are the Legion Auxiliaries, composed of women who are directly interested in the soldiers who fought in the late war. We recently read a report of the Wilmette Auxiliary, and were struck by the enthusiasm of its metnbers and the pride they took in being members of such an organization dedicated to such a work. .. Those of us who are neither ex-soldiers nor relatives of soldiers are nevertheless under deep obligation to those who made up our army and shed their blood on our behalf. They are also our c_om~ades.
