"More than half of the men regis- tered in Northwestern university, live in Evanston or Clakcago, or within a radius of twenty miles of the campus," says a statement issued by the Uni- versity Y. M. C. A. That means that half the men in school are off the campus over week-ends if not during | the rest of the week.

"DISCUSS PRAYER" The Wednesday evening lenten meetings at the Winnetka Congrega- tional church are taking the form of open discussions on some of the most important aspects of the (Christian life. Next Wednesday the topic will be "Prayer" and Arthur R. Dean will open the service. RENTING BUSINESS GOOD The frequently discussed search for "houses to rent" continues unabated along the north shore., according to local real estate brokers. Also, the scarcity of such places continues apace. There. is an abundance of places on the selling market but busi- ness in that connection is reported as none too brisk. PLAY GARY SOCCORITES The North Shore Soccer club will meet the Gary, Indiana, soccerites Sunday at 2:30 o'clock at Foster Field, Evanston. denizens of the underworld are taking their cue from the attitude of these so-called "good citizens" who ignore | certain laws that interfere with their | own desires. Need Regard For Laws "This republic is facing a grave dan- ger" said Mr. Farwell. "Unless there is a greater regard for the laws of the city and state and the nation, our whole governmental structure may fall and we will sink into a state of an- archy from which we may not recover Let us take warning in time. Amos, the prophet of God, whose teachings are being studied today in all Sunday Schools, warned the Israelites of his day that they were doomed to captivity in a: strange land unless they turned from their habits of drinking alcoholic lig- uors and from their desire to be enter- tained in the cabarets and harems of their day. They did not heed the warning of the prophet and lost their liberties. It would be well for all the American people to study the book of Amos, then compare the- conditions that prevailed then to the present con- ditions in the city of Chicago and other great cities in this country and take warning." Open Three New Realty Offices on North Shore Exceptional development of business has prompted the real estate firm, Gil- bert D. Johnson and Brother, to locate new offices in Glencoe. Highland Park and Deerfield. he The firm also maintains offices in Wilmette and Winnetka. The main offices of the firm are located at 110 S. Dearborn street, Chicago. Gilbert D. Johnson is a resident of Glencoe. The firm is affiliated with the North Shore Real Estate board. SCHOOL HOLIDAY MONDAY Winnetka public schools are to be closed all day Monday, March 20, when the teachers are to hold their annual meeting day.
