Springtime Brides Johnson, 923 Greenleaf avenue, Wil- mette, and utilizing it as a means of getting away following a hold-up at a gasoline filling station at Ridge avenue and Clark street, Evanston, were trace- able accomplishments of a bandit last Monday night. Early in the evening Mr. Johnson reported the theft of his car from in front of the Brown building on Wil- mette avenue to the Wilmette police who immediately broadcast the news to the police departments of surrounding cities. Some time later the machine was again heard from when the Chi- cago police called to state that atten- dants at the filling station had given the car's license number as that of the one used by a hold-up man who had re- lieved them of $25 in cash.

Young was directed by the village board of Glencoe at its postponed meeting last Saturday evening to proceed with the work of providing valve connections | between the water systems of Glencoe and Winnetka. This action was taken on a favorable report from Alvord, Burdick and Housen, consulting en- gineers who designed the new Glencoe waterworks now in course of construc- tion and which plan has also been ap- proved by Winnetka. With the connection of the two sys- tems, either village, in case of emer- gency, will be enabled to aid the other and will provide for almost any imag- inable contingency which might arise, it is said. For instance, if, during the winter time, the intake at either plant should become clogged with anchor ice, water Heraldic Artist Book Plates Crests Coats of Arms Etchings Artistic Lamp Shades Studio 17 Rapp Building Winnetka supply from the other plant would be available, as it is not probable that both plants would be so crippled at the same time.
