J During the past week the clay court artists have been showing some stellar work at the Indian Hill club.

Miss Murphy Gets Off Car Backwards--!7x, etc. Josephine Murphy, prominent among the fair members of the official family at the Village hall, disregarded the tramway rule of not getting off cars backwards one day this week with the result that she has been receiving messages of sympathy from her as- sociates at the municipal offices. Miss Murphy, so the story goes, journeyed to the village post office the other day under the kindly auspices of Mr. Bohnen and his trusty flivver. Tn alighting from the machine Miss Murphy--did it backwards--and, as 'Mr. Bohnen started the 'car, described wa: perfect whirligig that terminated in "complete disaster. Miss Murphy is doing nicely, thank you. Council Plans Technical Changes in Zone Measure An ordinance was introduced at the Village council meeting Tuesday eve- ning, amending several sections of the zoning ordinance largely with refer- ence to details of administration. These changes have been recommend- ed by the board of appeals as a result of its experiences during the past two years, since the ordinance was adopted. No changes in district boundaries or classification or use of property are contemplated in the amended ordi- nance. . > " Frank Borovicka Let me give you an es- timate on your FLOW- ER BOX PLANTING.

Charles P. Root of the high- way department made an investigation several days ago and is making a complaint to local authorities in those cases where the enterprising merchants have placed these signs on their own property, while in those cases where the right of way has been used the complaints are registered with the state highway department. It is the contention of the motor club that these signs tend to make motorists callous to legitimate signs and thus promote accidents. Matrimony Bound Pair Helped by Our "C. T." A. W. Johnson and Miss Grace Olsen of Chicago, late last week de- cided to embark on the alleged stormy matrimonial seas, and forthwith es- sayed a trip to Winnetka and Magi- strate C. T.

It all happened on Saturday, June 28, and the ceremony was witnessed by the kindly disposed staff of the Heinsen and Clark real estate offices just across the partition from the magistrate's domain.
