Tack's regular job is the berding of cattle on the plains of Arizona. If you saw him on the streets of g Tucson you would know by his garb--sombrero, checked shirt, chaps, and boots--that he was not a minister nor yet a reporter. But if vou also decided that he was not an artist, you would be greatly mistaken. Ever since he reached his fourteenth vear Jack has been actively interested in drawing and painting. He himself says that at fourteen he had been herding sheep "too long for it to be any fun." So he took to art. And it is pleasant to relate that the critics approved his productions. Also we don't mind telling you that if you visit the Duncan studios in Winnetka you may see one or two of Jack's side-line creations. Again we recommend that you attach a hobby to your regular job. It's our favorite recipe for living a suecessful life. We have noticed that persons who have two occupations seem calmer and happier than those who have only one. A well-known north shore citizen is both lawyer and artist. Another divides his time between music and advertising. ~ We heartily believe that everyone should have an avocation as well as a vocation. Only by so doing can a human being avoid one- sidedness. J Have You a Hobby? One week from next Thursday north shore residents may properly give thanks for the safeness of the communities: in which they live. A young woman can : walk home from the rail- A Safe > road station after dark Community and feel certain that nothing will happen to her. Property is" well protected from the move- ments of burglars and sneak 'thieves. The October report of the Winnetka police department indicates not only vigilance on the part of the police but also a high degree of intelligence. According to this report there were no robberies or burglaries during the month, and what is more remarkable, con- sidering the size of the village, only two in- stances of house-breaking during the year. And in both cases the burglars were caught, convicted, and sent to prison. A preventive measure, which is probably made very little of in cities, is the guarding of homes in the absence of owners. This practice not only protects homes against thieves and marauders but does away with cause for worry on the part of the absent owner. Police authorities could do much more good along this line if residents would phone headquarters before absenting themselves for any length of time. Always citizens are urged to co-operate with their police department. Help yourself by helping your police. - The Boy Scouts of the north shore are try- ing to raise $16,000. That they will raise this amount there is not the slightest doubt. The only question is, Work With the Will there be any who, not taking advantage Boy Scouts of the opportunity to participate in this great work, will later regret the omission? That this work of the Boy Scouts is a great work, that is is among the worthiest of ac- tivities, hardly needs to be proved. Who is there so little a lover of his country as not to admit the high value of Scout life? Recently we saw a motion picture of Boy Scout life in a summer camp, perhaps much like the camp which the Scouts will occupy next spring. First we saw the boys on their way to the camp. Boys they were, just every- day boys, full of vitality, living to the very brim. Then we saw them in the camp en- gaged in their various activities--eating, swimming, building, studying, surveying, worshiping. What a training they were going through, and what fun they were having! What kind of citizens will these boys be- come? Bootleggers, grafters, cheap politic- ians? Not if boyhood training means any- thing. We believe that Boy Scouts will grow up into real Americans, strong in body, mind, and spirit, fit to attack our country's problems with clear heads and sound hearts. Work with the Boy Scouts! Armistice Day has passed. To those who suffered and died for America and the cause of liberty a special tribute has been paid, though in no case com- . mensurate with the sacri- The Spirit of fices made by these heroic Armistice soldiers. But weak as the acknowledgement of our gratitude has been, it has been made, and we who were not in the ranks have done all we can now do. But with the passing of Armis- tice Day the spirit of the day has not passed. War must go! Peace must remain. Man is not instinctively pugnacious. International problems like individual problems may be solved by reason and kindliness. An armistice is a standing still of arms, a cessation of hostilities. We have it in our power to make this cessation of hostilities a permanent condition. More than this we can, if we will, so cherish the spirit of armistice as to bring about a lasting world unity, a true brotherhood of man. Just as we were congratulating ourselves on the freedom of our village from burglars and hold-up men, along come two of them and separate north shore ladies from a diamond ring 'worth $1,000. What the police or the ladies could have done to prevent this rob- bery we cannot see. We can only hope that with the improvement of conditions in Chicago there will be fewer such occurrences. Again the Little Symphony orchestra is de- lighting north shore people with its high-class and entertaining programs. We need take no long trip to hear the playing of these talented musicians. In a brief half hour we can reach New Trier assembly hall. Thanks to the sponsors of this excellent enterprise! Of all cowards one of the most cowardly is the motorist who, causing an accident, runs away and allows the other fellow to face the consequences alone. Sometimes such cowards are caught before they escape. Good! SHORE LINES Now that it's all over and President-Elect Hoover will soon be leaving the Colossus of the North on that magnificent winter tour of the struggling states beyond the sweltering equator, and the stock market is enjoying its post-election boom, we can sit back, so to speak, and contem- plate our own great good fortune in recent seances with Lady Luck. Yes indeed, the little red book reveals the fact that we have collected on every essential wager ventured since September 1 (the date we quit betting on Old Plug's hot tips). In the interim we have put over a City Series for the illustrious Cubs, won a Six-day bicycle race, strung along with the Pro-Movie crowd in Wilmette, netted a nice honorarium by "liking" Mr. Hoover, trimmed friend Bud and kindred football experts, brought the Rajah to the Cubs and, well, that just about brings us up-to-date, unless we venture a prediction that the Hawkeyes cop the Big Ten gonfalon or whatever it is these college champions cop. To date: Credit 50c, Debit 0. Scandals Served to Order Earliest dispatches concerning Mr. Hoover's contemplated "Good Will" jaunt immediately sug- gested to us the probability that some of the boys and girls who still insist Herbie is a totally selfish individual, (just because he tried to get all the electorial votes, we surmise) would hurl forth the accusation that he is spending the nation's good money to serve his private "oil" interests in South America. Sure enough, we heard just that senti- ment the other evening and promptly drew our own conclusions.
