THE PRESS William Knight, 536 Laurel Avenue, got a thrill Friday night, when un- known assailants made an attempt to rob him. Mr. Knight was on his way home, after closing his restau- rant, known as the Sunset Cafe, when he was attacked by a would-be band- it or bandits. Mr. Knight did not know whether there was one or more but he would not be a victim of the strong arms and nothing was ob- tained from him. in Wilmette costs $11,620. Mansions on the North Shore are out of the picture at present. There is a definite trend for the smaller home. Ninety-nine percent of the houses on the north shore are of the traditional type, rather than the modernistic. Designers and architects seem to feel that the Georgian and Colonial homes belong to the set- ting of ravines, winding roads and the tranquillity of the suburban lake community. Attempt Made To Rob William Knight Friday A million dollars has been spent for new homes on the north shore since January 1. Highland Park and Wilmette tie for first place in the number of houses built so far this year. There were 25 houses built in Highland Park and Wilmette; 10 in Winnetka, 10 in Waukegan, , in Glencoe, 4'in Kennilworth and 3 in Lake Forest. The average home in Highland Park costs $10,404 and the average in Wilmette costs $11,620.

The finale was the 1940 News Parade, showing the most out- standing events occurring in the United States during the year. Highland Park Ties First in Building 'Sutton Lange Finds Gold Brick April I Ann Marchi, bookkeeper at the Marchi brothers garage is "throw- ing her money around." When Miss Marchi stopped on Sheridan place Tuesday to pick up a friend, she ac- 1ridentally dropped her purse on the road, containing $235 in cash. When Sutton Lang. manager of Garnett's shoe department, drove along the same road a little later, he saw the purse on the road, but thinking it was just a joke. being April Fool’s day, he drove on, and over the purse. When he passed over‘the bag, he hit what he thought to be a brick. He got out of his car to throw the brick to one side, so that the next motorist wouldn't run over it, and lo and behold, the brick turned out to be $235 in cash! Papers in the bag identified it to belong to Miss Marehi, so Sutton returned the "gold brick" to Miss Marchi.
