Y-, the last week in this month, an event from which great good is ex- pected to accrue to the people of all countries. Addresses will be made and papers read in five languages, a, feature --of-the program which presupposes a wider acquaintance with other tongues than the average American possesses. It is something of a compliment, how- ever, that, we as a people, are expected to be able to understand another language than our own. In the exhibit of pictured Bchooi structures the vicinity of Evanston Should rank high, with the entirely modern and complete equipment or New Trier High School, and the equal- ly up-to-day Nicholas Senn High School in Edgewater, both collections of buildings worthy to serve as models for the most ambitious aspirants to perfection in school construction. If the representatives from Euro- pean countries come to us with open minds to learn our system of public school instruction, they should go away with a wealth of Information with which to improve the educational facilities of the children of the people in their home districts. In turn, America has much to learn from ber visitors at the congress of the value of time, i» the schools and the con- stant application and unquestioning obedience which la the first principle III both public and private schools on the other side the Atlantic, Kvanston will hare two representa- tives in attendance at the congress, Mrs. Roman Bust Bums, who has been so effectively Interested in the there, and Dr. Mary m pt-pnbllc schools ||,Bslrd, the medical inspector. With two IP representatives there, both of whom IS; are keenly concerned with the em- •|i&cfency, educational, moral and physi- fipssdi, of the schools, Evanston should tlbeuent materially from thxconajessoft â- *«â-  «""» â„¢* H» nmmmutm prefer of Esperanto and many publi- cations employ the language, The literary value of Eipwanto, of course, Is nil, but as a commercial proposition Its importance seems to be rapidly increasing. Its value to the American traveler, who knows no language out* his own, should be high. It is easy to acquire If one has a working knowledge of Latin, Its forms are simple and idioms abient. Why should we not avail ourselves of so simple and effective an equipment with which to meet the difficulties of travel or study in a country whose speech Is unknown? JR * m SCHOOL AND SOCIAL CBXTBR, The combination of school and so- cial center has been successfully worked out In the New Trier com- munity, if one is to base a Judgment upon appe irunces. During the summer, the privileges of the gymnasium and swimming; tank; have been opened to the public and an instructor maintained In the school. The results of the experiment have justified its trial, for there have been some forty classes each week as- sembled for instruction from Mr. C. A. Hyatt, a man of playground and ath- letic experience in Madison, Wis., and' Chicago. Great Interest and a neighborly sen- timent have been evinced among the adults as a result of the course In New Trier, and a friendliness toward the school developed in the children which will bear its fruit when the serious work of the year begins. Next week, to close the summer ses- sion, in true festive spirit, a circus will be given, the "talent" for which is largely native to New Trier, the consummation of the pleasant social experiences of the vacation period which have centered In the school. * * * ANOTHER JOHN.

The board of trade of Los Angeles, desirous of advertising the beauties a â- â- .."â- â-  atfd advantages which they believe that city enjoys in larger proportion than any other community, sent a lec- turer to Auopoaa. countries, whose onir equipment consisted of an un- bounded faith In the subject with which he had to deal and a knowledge of Esperanto. In this language he de> ttvered one hundred and twenty-seven lectures in twenty-five different coun- tries. That his words, did not fall on uahearing or uncomprehending ears, is attested by the tact that some three letters have been received Some weeks ago printed coplei ef s speech which he had made concerning sensational Journalism was sent broadcast through the land, a docu- ment which showed long and arduous effort In the compilation of the data be bad collected, and a deep and heart- felt interest in his work.

A traveler on the Tamalpais railway who carelessly threw a lighted ciga- rette from the car in which he was riding brought a financial damage to* the state of California and an untold loss to the nation from the destruction of the giant redwood trees of the Mm* -â- â- *â- --• woods.

Encouraged it for a Time. For a long time the Jewelers en- couraged and favored the guarantee on watch cases, because they believed Ahat It helped them In their sales ot these products; but in course of time the level-beaded and far-seeing merchant could not fail to have It borne In on him that the use of the guar- antee and the desire for It on the part of the public gave an opportunity to the unscrupulous manufacturer or dealer to find a market for the cheap- est kind of trash through illegitimate cnannels, and in direct competition with Btaple products of worth and merit, by simply putting a guarantee on the worthless articles that read the same and looked the same to the pub- lic aa those that opposed In the standard article. In other words, the general use of the guarantee caused sales to be made, not on the worth ot the article or the reputation ot the manufacturer or dealer, but upon the words of the guar- antee, regardless of the worthless character of the product. * They Realize Conditions. Jewelers have also come to realise that the perpetual guarantee (and a guaranteed watch case, replaced by a guaranteed watch case means a per- petual guarantee) must eventually re- sult in the stopping of the sale of any new watch case, because if this condi- tion continue eventually there must be more guaranteed watch cases on the market than there are people to use them, and there must come a time when the jeweler and manufacturer can sell no more filled watch cases but will be kept busy simply replac- ing the old ones on the guarantees. This condition will arise even though the fraudulent guarantee be eliminat- ed and the field left only to the stand- ard lines. ^oofcior Ouarantse. â€" Unfortunately, many purchasers look for and want a guarantee, and to a certain extent this has been foe. tered by the jewelers themselves. Leg* islatlon stopping the manufacturer from issuing a guarantee will not in itself overcome the public's desire for it. It U up to the retail Jeweler who wishes the guarantee abolished to co- operate with the manufacturer not only along lines of legislation but par- ticularly by educating the customer whenever possible to look upon the guarantee with suspicion and to teach the buyer to depend upon the quality of the article and the reputation of the man who sells and makes it, in- stead of upon any warrant Report of JewelecsVRetaiL^||)|B8rfVoVG0LBUBIIWINS sociation Shows That the Guarantee Does Them TWOHON0RSINT0URNEY defeated Mrs. Qvjl- bert, Racine, 10 the first round, * up 1, and Mrs. Ctfburn, «s»^^ feated Miss L.

Owing to improvements being made on the Bvanston Gun club grounds, there will be no shooting until fur- ther notice.
