Canadian Pacific World's Greatest Travel System | Seek to Eliminate Justice of Peace Office in Illinois The elimination of justice of the | peace courts and the substitution of regular courts such as the municipal courts of Chicago, was discussed by Illinois legislators at a meeting re- cently held in Springfield. Rppresentatives from various Illi- nois cities attending the meeting were told how the total fines alone, with- out costs, paid in Cook county by autoists, in 1926, amounted to $1,300,- 000. And of that total, only $400,000 was collected in Chicago and $910,000 in Cook county outside Chicago, where the costs go to the courts in many instances. The discussion came as result of the decision of Chief Justice William Howard Taft of the United States Supreme Court that an Ohio justice of the peace was not an impartial judge for the reason that he collected the costs in the event of conviction, and hence profited by a conviction. J. H. Braun of the Chicago Motor club presented the figures on Cook county, collected as result of the "speed trap" campaign of last year, in which it was estimated that $700,000 in costs alone were paid by Chicago motorists. Despite the fact that Chicago has 365,000 vehicles, and the rest of the county only 100,000, there were 175,- 000 "arrests in the county and only 145,000 in Chicago. For every 100 ar- rests in Chicago, two were fined; for every 100 arrests in seventy - eight county towns, fifteen were fined. io games Here's an oil that proves its superiority by a single, easily grasped fact. Quaker State Medium Motor Oil has an extra quart of lubricant in every gallon because Quaker State's exclusive super-refining process removes the non-viscous content which makes up 25%, or more, of the volume of ordinary motor oils. Quaker State Medium Motor Oil is all lubricant-- 100%. That's what makes it so superior--that's why it has set such remarkable performance records and has won the recommendation of the makers of many of our best-known cars--among others, Franklin, Wills Ste. Claire, and Rolls-Royce. Braun Bros. Oil Co.

The bulletin which will be used by teach- ers in their talks to the children says: "During the warm weather of Feb- ruary, children appeared on the streets in great numbers. It was too cold for the games of summer, but warm enough to lure children outdoors for every spare minute. In many places one could see children roller skating. Some of these children used the streets. Roller skating is an excellent sport but it becomes a dangerous sport if the streets are used instead of the sidewalks. "Early in February the Chicago newspapers reported the case of a boy 12 years of age who had been killed roller skating in the street; during this month a number of boys were killed while playing in the streets. Don't Take Chances "Act like a sensible person; refuse to take chances. Have character enough not to follow the example of foolish children. Roller skate on the sidewalks. "Another danger that comes with spring is illustrated in the poster this month. The improper use of umbrel- las has been responsible for many serious accidents. Use your umbrella as a shield from the rain; do not use it as a blindfold. You should have all your senses on the alert in rainy weather. You should look carefully before crossing a street. The vision of drivers is obscured by rain covered windshields. In addition to this, cars skid on wet pavements. You need to be alert in such weather. Do not ob- scure your vision by carrying an um- brella at an improper angle. "The dictionary says, 'An umbrella is a shade or guard carried in the hand to shelter one from the rain or sun. We should keep the definition of the dictionary in mind; an umbrella should not be carried as a blindfold; it should be carried as a 'shelter.' " North Shore Towns Give Arden Shore Reunions Winnetka, Kenilworth, and Evans- ton are the three villages that gave to about one hundred boys of the Arden Shore Winter camp their annual re- union dinner last evening at Gads Hill settlement. Members of the Arden Shore association in these towns do- nated the food and served the boys. Mrs. Marcus D. Richards of Win- netka, Mrs. Mark Cresap of Kenil- worth, and Mrs. Ernest Palmer, Mrs. Richard Gambrill, Jr., and Miss Ellen Dryden of Evanston were those in charge of the arrangements. Villages further north were in charge of the reunion dinner served to the girls of the Summer camp Sun- day at Arden Shore.
