Norton, of Ridge avenue, decided to take his neighbor, Miss Margaret McClain, aged three, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt N. McClain, on a shopping ex- pedition, Tuesday afternoon. Master John's mother was asleep, so he helped himself to fifty-eight cents from her pocketbook and started off with Miss Margaret. A small wheelbarrow was the object in view and Karsten's Hardware store had exactly the thing. It was ordered and Master John, who maybe had the idea of wheeling his companion home, was ready for a start. The wheelbarrow was sixty cents and the fifty-eight cents was hauled out when the amused shop men began to ask questions. A tele- phone call and a taxi sent the ex- plorers home without the wheelbar- row. REMOVES WHEEL TAX . FROM AUTOMOBILES Great discussion has been going on in towns and cities in Illinois as to the advisability of removing the wheel tax from pleasure vehicles. On Thursday of last week the Su- preme Court in session at Springfield, rendered a decision against a munici- pal wheel tax. Winnetka has been one of four towns along the north shore that have added to their village incomes materially through the wheel tax on automobiles and now this source of revenue, which has been estimated by some to amount to at least one-tenth of the annual village income, has been removed. Justice Craig, who handed down the opinion, held that the annual license fee which automobile owners are re- quired to pay to the state is a tax and that double taxation would exist should these same owners also be required to pay a municipal tax. The wheel tax on horse drawn vehicles and automobile trucks was not ques- tioned because they are taxed but once. CHILDREN. At the most trying growing age, say from 6 to 12, should have their nails well kept, to give them a good start. So we are making a specialty of man- icuring children's nails at a special rate and we feel our work will be well repaid. Also children who have neat looking hair always show good care.

The dust is eliminated from Linden, Oak and West Elm streets through their having been oiled, but the pedes- trian frequently is called to other parts of the village and is obliged to choke with misery.
