Miller, in an absurd bathing suit, kept the spectators roaring with laughter at his antics for a quarter of an hour. He demonstrated various comic strokes and dives, utilizing the springboad on one of the rafts for this purpose. He was loudly applauded by the large crowd gathered at the beach when he had finished his exhibitions. Miller's antics are features of the big Northwestern university swimming meets during the school year. 1319) Better "Positive Agitation"" in The New and Greater Hoover is so efficient as to make completely out of date every previous method.

For the shut-ins there are no social seasons, and, as their products must be disposed of for their benefit the year 'round, it is simply the good fortune of people who are home now that this sale is being given be- tween seasons when many of our resi- dents are still away. Mrs. J. Waller Marshall of Winnet- ka, president of the Vocational Society for Shut-Ins, and the directors of the society were in charge of the sale, which was held yesterday from 30 o'clock in the morning until 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Frank Cushing, manager of the Moraine hotel and one of the supporters of the society, and Miss Elizabeth Robertson of Highland Park, a member of the present board of directors and the first secretary of the society, were among those doing a great deal of the planning for the sale. The sale at Highland Park last year resulted in $700 for the benefit of the Shut-Ins, and this amount is expected mo be exceeded by the results of this sale. Mrs. Laird Bell of Winnetka, will also help the work of the society by sponsoring a showing of the stock at the Huron Mountain club in Michigan, where she has been spending the sum- mer. Mrs. William Wrigley, Jr., be- fore leaving for her residence at Cata- lina islands, placed an order with the society for a large number of hooked rugs. The society was also recently helped by the will of Mrs. Montgomery Ward, in which she remembered the shut-ins with a bequest of $5,000. Patronesses of the sale are Mrs. Walter Baldwin, Mrs. H. M. Brown, Mrs. Alexander Carqueville, Mrs. David R. Clarke, Mrs. Charles H. Dennis, Mrs. Earl Gibbs, Mrs. Samuel Hastings, Mrs. Frank Horn, Mrs. Mary Hoffman, Mrs. Arthur [eizes, Jr. Mrs. George B.
