Take a good rake and with it comb every square inch of your unoccupied real estate. Make a pile of everything you want tc get rid of. Village trucks will collect it during the week begin- ning April 30. Find out from the Talk of April 21 when the truck will visit your neighborhood. Add to your pile anything in your house that you'd like to have re- moved. Then you neighbors will say what your mother used to say af- ter you'd had your Saturday bath. Didn't you feel fine when she said, "My! you're as clean as a new pin, "TEN MINUTES A MONTH" We recently received from an acquaintance of ours who lives in Kankakee the following letter. Be- fore moving to Kankakee he had lived on the North Shore on the outskirts of Kenilworth. His mind had always been rather delicately balanced, and when Day- 'light Saving Time was instituted, the strain of adjusting himself to one time at home and in Chicago and to another time on the North- Western proved too much for him, and he moved to Kankakee. But we've almst forgotten his letter. Here it is. Dear Friends: As you know I have always been interested in the daylight saving idea. As you also know I was much annoyed and distressed by the scheme used in Chicago and vicinity of suddenly changing the time a whole hour twice a year. No sooner had I become accustomed to the change (it usually took me about half a year) than I had to make another radical change in the op- posite direction. I have worked out the following plan. It involves a series of grad- ual changes. Instead of putting the clock ahead, or behind, sixty minutes, I suggest that on May 1st the minute hand be put ahead ten minutes. And on the first of every month following the time be ad- vanced ten minutes more. In six months the clock will be one hour ahead of what it was six months before. In the six months following, reverse the method; put the clock back ten minutes a month. My method, if put into execu- tion, will avoid the nervous shock involved in the change of a whole hour. Nobody will miss ten min- utes' sleep. Of course, it is a little compli- cated, and the railroads will have a pretty hard time revising their timre-tables to suit, but then it is such an improvement on the old hour-jump idea that the railroad officials won't mind taking the trouble. If my plan is put into effect, I have another scheme of saving space by calling eight inches a foot. But more of this latter. Yours sincerely, James H. Nutt. A "REAL" HERO We're going to the New Trier Assembly Hall next Wednesday evening for the express purpose of seeing a "real" hero, realistically presented by the North Shore The- atre Guild. We have no preconcep- tions of a hero, except that we hope he will save a child or a beautifui | girl from the cruel hands of some dark-browned villian. Bue since the play is called "The Hero," with special smphasis on "The," we suppose that he will be some mute inglorious chap who re- mains on the farm while his less heroic brothers go to college. May- be he'll be some poor patient hus- band, who, lets his wife tell all his funny stories to an appreciative audience. TEMPORARY ADVERTISING Quite apart from our interest as an advertising medium we sympathize with New Trier merchants in their protests against being solicited to take space in numerous irregular pub- lications like programs and leaf- lets of one sort or another. It is not hard to imagine how a merchant must feel who is peti- tioned almost every day to ad- vertise in one of these "tempor- ary "announcements. Often such a petition amounts to a hold-up, the implication being that refusal to advertise will bring about un- pleasant results to the refuser. A little exercise of sympathetic imagination will ease up this sit- uation. Put yourself in his place! SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND It cheers the heart of every lover of mankind to learn that 360 blind people have been en- rolled at the Hadley Correspond- ence School for the Blind at Win- netka.

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE *I'm just as biz for me," said he, "As you are big for you!" One dollar and ten cents from six little Wilmette girls for Arden Shore. All who attended the bene- fit performance of "Our First Flag," which netted the above amount, testified that it was worth many times the entrance fee of five cents. What this gift will mean to the six little givers we can only guess. Did you see the six little actress- es--Olive, Louise, Mary June Mary Jane, Ann, and Carol? HANDWRITING IN THE SKY The other day we saw an aviator writing on the sky. His plane buzzed across the blue board of the air leaving in its wake half-mile letters of cloudy white. The dar- ing bird-man slowly spelled out a well-known ad. All up and down the streets people were gazzing spell-bound at the atmospheric scribbling, almost as if a heavenly message were being delivered. What a power in the hands of some evangelistic flier! Up above the world so high! Like a tea-kettle in the sky. ONIONS Something we never knew be- fore was that ninety-two per- cent of the onion sets grown ir this democracy are grown in our own Cook County. Ninety-two out of every one hundred Amer- ican onion sets, eleven and a hali out of every twelve and a half, are grown in our near neighbor- hood. Tied end to end the flavor would be enough to supply the seasoning for all the onion soups served last year. ARDEN SHORE CAMP Fathers and mothers can imagine what Arden Shore means to the city boys who live there. Wholesome food, fresh air and water, daily ex- ercise, good schooling, healthful sleep, lots of fun--everything that added together almost makes home It's all the real home that some of them know. In their drive next week let': give them all we can and then a lit tel more!
