NORTH SHORE MARKET ATTRACTS HOUSEWIVES Women from Rogers Park to Lake Fcrest Patronize Vegetable Market at Linden Avenue "L" Terminal MARKET IDEA SPREADING Proposed Garden Market at Evan- ston Expected to Open on Mon- day, August 16. The North Shore Garden market in operation for two weeks at Lin- den avenue and Fourth street, Wil- mette, has proven an entirely suc- cessful venture, according to Paul Schroeder, who has sponsored the project. Tuesday of this week was the big- gest day since the opening of the tri- weekly market. More than fifteen farmers and truck gardeners were at the market place with a good variety of vegetables and early fruits. Pota- toes and sweet corn headed the sales' lists and sold out early in the day. Early apples were disposed of rapid- ly. There has been a strong demand for corn and it is expected the sell- ers will enlarge the quantities brought to the market for Thursday and Saturday. Justice Sells Out Justice Otto Falk, who owns a farm on Glenview road, west of Wil- mette, loaded his Ford touring car with apples early Tuesday morning and proceeded to the market place. He went home "sold out" before the morning was half over. "I didn't think it could be done," he com- mented. The popularity of the north shore market is demonstrated in the results of a survey Tuesday which showed that housewives from Rogers Park to Lake Forest were availing them- selves of the opportunity to purchase fresh vegetables and {fruit directly from the producers and at a consid- erable saving. There were women from every village and town along the north shore at the Tuesday mar- ket and the news of its merits is spreading into every home in this vicinity. The success of the North Shore market has led to the proposed es- tablishment of a market in the heart of the Evanston (Davis street) dis- trict. This market, which is to be opened on Monday, August 16, willy be conducted on Mondays, Wednes- day§ and Fridays, while the North Shore market will operate as usual on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur- days. INDIAN HILL CHEF SPILLS THE BEANS Evanston Traffic Policeman; Guests of Golf Club Almost Miss Their Breakfast Hits It was close to midnight. The hot wind lazily fanned the listless air. All day Sunday had been like that-- hot, sweltering, torrid. At Dempster street and Ridge avenue, Evanston, Traffic Policeman Ernest Otto had dodged automobiles all afternoon. Since midday he had hardly had time to rub the perspiration from his face. But for the last hour traffic had slowed down. A tired dog snapped viciously at a late flying mosquito and passed on. "Gad, I'm glad for a rest," muttered Otto to himself, rubbing the dust from his war club on the trousers' leg of his uniform. His thoughts were turning to the good old days at Paree when, suddenly, nearby resi- dents were awakened by a stream of overseas language. A police club sailed wildly through the air. Offi- cer Otto was flat on his back. A speeding auto skidded to a stop amid a stream of Latin-American ques- tions. Taken tc Station "A pretty kettle of fish Ive cooked," cried the driver of the au- tomobile, no less a person than An- gelo De Carlo, chef at the Indian Hill Country Club, as they took him to the police station. "A cook, eh!" ejaculated Sergeant Johnson, on night duty, when De Carlo was taken before him. "Well, what have you to say? Been eating too much plum pudding, cause?" De Carlo had nothing to say. He was busily thinking of the guests of the club, who were in danger of missing breakfast. He stood silent while guests of the Indian Hill club slept on unconscious of the impend- ing catastrophe. Reminiscent Odors Meanwhile the prisoners in the cells below the police station began to stir uneasily. A gentle atmos- phere of grilled steaks, frying dough- nuts, Italian spaghetti filled the sta- tion and penetrated to the dungeons. A colored man locked up for disturb- ing the peace wiped his mouth. "This must be a great house," he smiled to himself as he returned to his slumbers. Judge John F. Boyer was notified. "Arrested a cook, have you?" and anticipatory visions of a fine juicy cherry pie or a plate of fried cakes left surreptitiously at the doorstep smote him. "Turn him loose on bonw," shouted the judge. De Carlo was booked on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and allowed to return to the village in the north. Members of the club will learn how narrowly they missed their breakfast when they read this. NEW TRAFFIC LAWS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY Speeders To Be Severely Dealt With According To Provisions of the Latest Rulings Campaign in the interest of safety on highways in the State of Illinois and which is expected to reach every community in the state was begun this week by Secretary of State Louis S. Emerson. Mr. Emerson has issued a digest of the safety-first laws governing automobile drivers, and calling attention to the necessity of strict observance of these laws if the highways are to be safe. The following provisions will be of interest to motorists of the vil- lage. Among the provisions of the law to which attention is called in the pamphlet are the following: Railroad Crossings No automobile must be driven over a railroad grade crossing at a speed exceeding 10 miles per hour, and at all grade crossings where "stop" signs are placed the car must be brought to a full stop before pro- ceeding over the crossing. The speed limit at which an auto- mobile can be driven is 10 miles per hour in the business sections of cit- ies; 15 miles per hour in the resident sections; 20 miles per hour inside city limits, but outside the business or resident sections, and not to ex- ceed 30 miles per hour on the public highway. Every motor must be equipped with good brakes and a suitable signalling device. May Revcke License The license of a chauffeur may be revoked on the grounds of drunken- ness, and a drunken driver may be fined $200 and sentenced to jail for 60 days. No person under fifteen years of age is premitted to drive an automo- bile on the public hikhway unless accompanied by the owner of the vehicle or a licensed chauffeur. A vehicle approaching from the right has the right-of-way. Keep to the right in passing a ve- hicle coming from the opposite di- rection. Concerning Signals Signal and pass to the left of a vehicle going in the same direction. The driver must signal his inten- tion of turning or stopping by out- stretched arm, or otherwise. An automobile must not be driven within ten feet of a street car load- ing or discharging passengers, ex- cept by the express direction of a traffic officer. ) CYCLIST INJURED G. R.
