Mrs. Fred Thomas, Wauconda underwent an operation Saturday, March 1, at the Condell Memorial hospital in Libertyville, for removel of a needle from her leg. X-ray examination disclosed the needle after Mrs. Thomas had complained of intense pain. How the needle ever found its place in the limb is a mystery. It is lodged close to the bone and lies parallel to the bone, according to reports, and evidently has been in its present place for years. When their car failed to make a curve two miles west of Genoa, 111., Saturday evening, February 22, four Rockford men were injured and the car was reduced to a pile of junk when it wrapped itself around a telephone pole.

STUDENTS PRESENT MOCK MURDER TRIAL One of the sure signs that spring is just around the corner (although the weather man doesn't give many indications) is the fact that so many McHenry people are returning from Florida and other trips to banner climes. Mrs. Kuthryn Barblan, who accompanied her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Conley of Chicago, to the famous southern peninsular state, returned to McHenry Monday with tales of a wonderful experience. About a month ago, the trio started driving in the southerly direction and their first stop of interest was at Gulf Port, Miss., where they spent about a week with a friend of the Conley'?. Here they had a beautiful view of the | Gulf of Mexico, but the weather was too cold to permit a swim. Clearwater. Fla., was the next stop and here Mrs. Barbian spent about five days with Mr. and Mrs. A, P. Moritz while Mr. and Mrs. Conley drove on to Miami. During her short stay she took in a few of the sights around that part of the country. One of these was a trip to Tampa beach where she saw fishermen hauling sponges out of the ocean. St. Petersburg was another city of manv interesting occupations which she viewed. Taking a bus to Miami, Mrs. Barbian again met up with Mr. and Mrs. Conley to enjoy about three days In and around this beautiful city. They spent a few delightful hours at the ocean beach and also took several trips to the islands near Miami to see some of the mansions which have been built thereon by millionnaires. The spot Mrs. Barbian enjoyed most of all was Marineland, on the eastern coast of Florida, where she and her two companions stooped on their way home to visit the Marine studios. Here are large tanks, close to the ocean, which are filled with about seventy- five varieties of huge fish and deeo 'It«r antmats. Sightseers may walk around the outside of the tanks at their base where windows oermit a view of the ohenomena which occurs continuously inside the tank. Visitors mav also walk around the top of the tank and watch the guards feed the fish. It is interesting to note how the norpoises eat their food. They catch the small fish, which the guards throw them, on their tails, and then flop them into the air so that they can; catch their meal head first. In this tank is the largest shark in captivity, a two-hundred pound turtle and many more creatures of the deep seas. The jour^ev from this place lead straight to Chicago. The soeedometer showed thev had driven 3 500 miles. This was Mrs. Barbian's first trio to Miami although she had been south on two other occasions. Frank Freimds Retara Mr. and Mrs. Frnnk Freund of .Tohnsbunr returned Saturd^v to tell of their honevmoon through the southcentral states. ATTENTION, MOTHERS!

Sheriff Lester Edinger was called to the Hel ler home last Wednesday night and placed Heller under arrest. Justice Hayes said the delay in the case was made to check on a charge that Heller is a deserter from the U. S. Ma rines.

After the trial, the jurors were taken from the stage for a few minutes by the Clerk and Eleanor Pries explained exactly what would be taking place in the jury room after a real trial. The jurors were then called back onto the stage and their decision told to the audience. Emma Freund and Mrs. Math Rauen called on Mrs. Arnold Rauen and daughter in the Geneva hospital Wednesday. • « M. Gladstone's Trip Another interesting trip story was that told by Mr. and Mrs. M. Gladstone who drove through the southwestern portion of the country on- a journey of a month's duration. The Gladstones motored to Memphis, Tenn., to complete the first day of their journey, on Sunday, February 2. Then, arising at six o'clock the following morning, they made Fort Worth, Texas, the second day. After viewing the scenes in Texas the greater part of the third day, they spent the night at White City, N. M. On the fourth day of the trip, Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone toured the Carlsbad caverns, as do most of the travelers who come to this part of the country. Mr. Gladstone says that to view these immense underground caves and rock formations is "one of the most wonderful experiences a man or woman can ever have." Starting at 10:30 a. m., they were among a group of 350 sightseers who walked six and one-half miles through these tunnels and at 12:30 p.m. they ate their lunch 750 feet underground. At 3:30 they Emerged from the cave after two more hours of walking and drove back to El Paso, Texas, before nightfall.

The N". Y. A. is a national organization which employs girls who have recently been graduated from high school to do work of this kind. ... These girls take oupils who are having a little trouble in these subjects and tutor them privately, drilling one the certain subject or subjects they are lax in for at least fifteen or twenty minutes. This takes place while the class is having the same , subject and at the end of the period the students return to the regular class, usually having benefited greatly • by the drill work. The students who receive this remedial work are changed almost each week so that more oupils may benefit by this practice.. It has been found that those who have received this special work have shown very distinct improvement. * _ These classes are taught by Miss Weingart in the forenoon and Miss Bode in the afternoon.
