Enforce the Traffic Laws. - Build the Truck Road TO A WATERFOWL Whither, midst falling dew, While glow the heavens with the last steps of day, Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue Thy solitary way? Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong, As, darkly seen against the crim- son sky, Thy figure floats along. Seek'st thou the plashy brink Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide, Or where the rocking billows rise and sink On the chafed ocean-side ? There is a Power whose care Teaches thy way along that pathless coast-- The desert and illimitable air-- Lone wandering, but not lost. All day thy wings have fanned, At that far height, the cold, "ain atmosphere, Yet stoop not; weary, to the welcome land, Though the dark night is near. And soon that toil shall end; Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest, And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall bend, Soon, o'er thy sheltered nest. Thou'rt gone, the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my heart Deeply has sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart. He who, from zone to zone, sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I tread alone, Will lead my steps aright. --BRYANT must ARCHERY "My sire shot a good long bow at Hastings," quoth Robin Hood's opponent in the celebrated arch- ery contest so thrillingly de- scribed in Scott's "Ivanhoe." In a similar vein some future north shore lad will boast of the skill his father showed in a contest be- tween the Wilmette Archery club and the Winnetka Quivers. We understand that a renais- sance of interest in the bow and arrow has arrived. Medieval ro- mance flowers again in the middle west. The dean of the depart- ment of education in N. U. may be seen almost any day with bal- dric and bugle striding down the streets of Evanston to take his chances with others before the great straw target. Anybody can run a victrola, but it takes a lithe athlete to pull the mighty bow, and a keen eye and steady hand to direct the steel- tipped shaft to its home in the bull's eye. Penelope's unwel- come suitors got what was com- ing to them when Odysseus stood in his doorway and spitted them so neatly with his feathered skewers. Perhaps some modern ssuccessor will transfix an unwel- to retire. Guides through the boundless) come porch climber in a like fash- ion. Hail to the north shore archers! Clad in Lincoln green and bear- ing their sturdy long bows, may they parade past our house to achieve a notable triumph over their Chicago antagonists! N. T. MUSIC GUILD There are probably in Wil- mette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, and Glencoe one hundred professional musicians, men and women who earn money by teaching music. Many of them help boys and girls to acquire skill on piano or violin. Others teach appreciation and train groups of young people to sing together. However different their special occupations they have one aim: to increase interest in music and to heighten the value of music. They believe that this aim can best be achieved by an organizing of themselves into an association which they call "The Music Guild of New Trier." A society in which individual interests will be united into one splendid goal can and will do much for music on the north shore. The Guild has in it remarkable possibilities. COMING NEXT YEAR Our active interest is aroused by the announcement that the re- citalist engaged to open the 1925- 26 series, sponsored by the Win- netka Music club, 1s Edward Johnson, famous grand opera and concert tenor. Many years ago we first heard this truly great singer. He was then, if we re- member correctly, member of a New York church quartet. We believed then, and have been given no reason to change our belief since then, that he was one of the world's few clear-toned, easy-singing tenors. If the remainder of the club's concerts--five next year instead '|of four--are as fine as this open- ing one promises to be, the north shore will have, musically, a splendid season. "THE ANCIENT ARM" It tires us not a little to hear younger men expressing their sur- prise at what an older man is able to do. If a man of middle age or beyond does something a little unusual, a very little out of the ordinary, the callow reporter speaks of the event as a miracle. "How wonderful that a man of his advanced age should do such a thing!" For example, whenever Walter Johnson loses a game, the news- papers tell us that's just what they expected. The veteran ought If he wins a game, why, even then, the sports writer can't get rid of his prejudice. He writes this headline: "Ancient Arm of Walter Johnson Trims the Sox." "Ancient Arm!" Why not forget for once at least that Walter is older than he used to be? It almost seems as if young people were jealous of the ex- ploits of their elders. There is something positively indecent in the haste shown by them to put the not-so-young on the shelf. People will live longer and die younger--if you get our mean- ing--when the immature of the species break their ridiculous habit of hustling the more sea- soned individuals off the stage. Young fathers had better train their children not to apply the word "old" to anyone under 75. Then perhaps when the children. talk and write about their fathers they will go easy on stiffening muscles and gray hair. Occasions arise when we would like to have people do certain things. We'd like to have them vote for us or our friends. We'd like to have them buy goods at our store. We'd like to have in- vite us to their homes. Yet we are not friendly towards them. We don't put ourselves out to please them or do them a kind turn. We'd do well to call to our minds the old proverb: More flies are taken with a drop of honey than with a gallon of vinegar. THIS AND THAT Until We Find a Title REMEMBER? "T'is sweet to remember, dear, The Spring when first we met, In the garden there-- When climbing the stair-- Remember? You were ruaning away, dear, But I caught you in swift embrace, Near the fountain there-- Jy the winding stair-- Remember? Then Cupid heid out his bow dear, His swift arrow pierced my heart, While sitting there-- Neath the winding stair-- Remember? I asked you to be mine, dear, In answer--a kiss--my request, As you stood there-- Near the winding stair-- Remember? Now I can ne'er forget, dear, The Spring when first we met, And such bliss as this-- From that stolen kiss-- Remember? --Lirrie Miss MuUFrFET Oh! But We Did Miss You So-O-OH! Dear: T-R. C.: Can't a respectable lady go away for a two weeks' vacation without being forgotten? You never once asked where I was, (1 looked up all the back files to see), and you did--didn't m-m- miss me at all! I think you're so mean! --MEDEA PARADOXICALLY SPEAKING There happens to be a business of- fice that we visit in the course of our regular weekly routine, that displays upon its walls conspicuously posted a "No Smoking" sign--translated into some six or eight different languages. And invariably we find a member of the firm sitting at his desk smoking, right under this sign. Which reminds us of another height of paradoxy -- which we chanced to encounter when we used to slave as a letter carrier--i. e. a bull dog, showing his ugly teeth, squatted upon a door mat with the word "WELCOME" endorsed upon it in huge box car letters! Can U. beat these? Add Best Ways NOT to Live To Be a 100! Might we not be allowed to suggest that one of the best ways NOT to live to a ripe old age, is to start to clean up Cicero! (Boy, dig into the morgue and get all the dope on the 'lil visit the Dun- can Sisters made in Kikero). What's Wrong In This Adv? We ran across the following phrase in a recent hosiery advertisement. "And bargains in other popular shades, including black." Cheer Up Boys! They Are Not So Bad As They're Painted! We're Serious, Girls We, the undersigned, do hereby ex- press our objections to the uncalled for practice of the usage of the het- erogenous mass of cosmetics by the so-called fair sex. Our objections are: Firstly, it is an abominable and unbearable prac- tice to open in class-room, study halls, corridors, and mess hall, and air the infernal little containers that with- hold the deadly and offensive odori- ferous compound used in an attempt to beautify; secondly, it is a disgusting practice; thirdly, it creates dust for the janitorial staff to remove from the four sides and top and bottom of the numerous rooms; and fourthly, the stuff makes a mess when dropped, making the air unhealthy, and creat- ing an unnecessary disturbance. Three Merry Bachelors. (Clipped from the N. T. News) Write Your Own Moral! We noted in a recent issue of Ker- nel William Boastmore Hearst's Chi- cago Morning Daily, the following in- teresting headline: "School Books Save Girl Struck by Auto" "MEMBER WAY BACK WHEN?" The young men used to wear gar- ters? And the ever were bloomers ? The fair shebas used to wear black hose? When the police used to try to en- force the four mile an hour speed lim- it on bicycles? And when we used to ride our bicycle on a Sunday, people used to point at us and cry "Shame, Shame, Wicked !"? When a "tux" was as conspicuous as a full shallow-tail formal now is at a "formal"? When we used to run a quarter of a mile to see a "horseless carriage" amble by? (Anyone would go further than that to gaze at the quaint look- ing contraption, now-a-days) Well, we do, an' we hain't no octo- genarian, neither! same young men rarely seen in golf pants or --T. R.
