Depot Great Wall-eyed Pike Makes Birthday Happy Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Modine, and their son Norman, 917 Cherry street, re- turned Monday, August 23, from a two weeks' motor trip to Leach Lake, Minn. Eleven year old Norman celebrated his birthday while on the trip, and did \ . so In a most unusual way. Norman' had never caught a fish. He had watched his Daddy pull in the big ones, and had wished and watched, and sat as quiet as could be. His birthday was drizzely, damp and gloomy, and so was Norman who had never caught even a shiner. But he took his line, and an ordinary hook, and went out for a last try. He came back with a great, big wall-eyed pike, and for Norman the day was a perfect one. Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Coyle, 1097 Cherry street, Winnetka, and their daughter, Mary Louise, have just re- turned from a visit to Menominee, Mich. pe Mr. and Mrs. Fred J.

The appeal, which was made public here through the Chicago Motor club, urges state and local officials to take immediate steps to swoop away the debris that mars the beauty of the landscape and in many instances adds to the accident hazard along the coun- try's highways. Two specific points are made in the appeal which is addressed mainly to state and local highway officials in charge of road maintenance, construc- tion and supervision, according to the Chicago Motor club. "First there are so many signs along the highways that the motorist is fre- quently confused. On every highway the motorist encounters signs com- manding him to 'stop' or 'detour' to some enterprising wayside merchant's stand. These signs are in some cases positively dangerous and should be eliminated. "Secondly, in many instances the scenic beauty which is the great appeal in the call of the roads is marred be- cause of the continuance along many of the main highways of unsightly, tumble-down shacks of all kinds that constitute an eyesore to the motoring public." Former Winnetka Girl Marries in California Winnetka friends of Miss Ida Mar- tin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Magnus A. Martin, 694 Center street, will be in- terested in hearing of the announce- ment of her marriage to John Bryant of Long Beach, Cal.,, which took place Friday, August 20.
