It your corner i* not free of shrubs the next accident may be there.' "There are other reasons why these obstructions are a menace. There have been 'holdups' In Olencoe. Many women are afraid to walk at night along' these sidewalks walled In by shrubberyâ€"particularly the sidewalks around the church parkâ€"and they take to the middle of the street, pre- ferring the risk of being run over by automobiles. i "With whom does th«j responsibility of this matter rest? Why was the planting of shrubs In parkways per- mitted? The parkways are under con- trol of the village. These are ques- tions for the village board to answer."

Carter was returning with the horse from Bvanston, where he turned over the Evanston dog wagon to the police. He has used the. Evanston dog wagon this summer In Wilmette at night. An automobile carrying dimmed lights and driven by Thomas Coyne of Win- netka, drove Into the horse when Coyne became dazzled by the glaring headlights of an approaching auto- mobile. Coyne could not eee Carter and the horse, who were In the dark. Carter escaped without injury, but the horse was cut by the fender of the car. Coyne Immediately assisted Carter In managing the horse. To- gether the men called on Policeman Peter 8chaefer, who was in the vil- lage hall, and explanations followed. The horse was taken to a livery stable to be examined by a veterinary sur- geon. Coyne volunteered to pay all bills, Although he was not to blame. they might call 'dirty work.1 It is honest work, anyway. Some people come along, toot their horns at me and my little wagon and expect me to jump and get out of the way, Just a* though I had no right in the street. I show some of them, some- times, too. I make a* though t had not heard the toot and then they swear at me, often tell me to get out of the way and be quick about it. Then sometimes I Just stand there and pay no attention and then they swear some more add turn ou^fqrme them- selves. I know when I haw the right and sometimes I Just take it to show the swellers-up that I am a human, too. Ain't that right?" « •) ~*T The Doctor Ha* Troubles. "There is lots of talk about the high charges made by physicians in thla community*" said one of them, "but did you ever stop to consider the other side of it? What a doctor is expected to do for his money and how long ho. has to wait to get it. "Patients may be sick sll day and yet not call in the doctor until late In the evening or at night It is very unpleasant for a doctor, who may have been up all night the night before and has gone to bed a jltUe early In order to catch up on his sleep, to Just get to deep and then be called up on such a case, which he finds, when he gets there, could Just as well have been at- tended to In the daytime with a little thoughtfulness for his comfort on the part of the patient or the patient's family. "If the doctor has a wife and family, they are continually annoyed by calls that take him away from his meals. One wife said she was Just sick and tired of trying to get a flue dinner for the doctor because she had not known him to be able to have an un- interrupted meal with her In months. "One thin* that makes a physician's work much harder is the criticising or questioning his wOrk on the advice of the neighbor*. The neighbor* are the most difficult part of any case to treat. They are always ready with terrible tales of what has happened to friends of theirs who had similar troubles. They give Information and advice which Is iuvariably wrong that seri- ously affects the family, the patient and the physician. "gome persons question the doc- tor's bill because he has given com- paratively little or no medicine, but he is devoting his time and expert- There are many persons who allcw their bills to go unpaid for a year or two, but continue to demand the doe- tor'* services, and that right prompt- ly, too, a* soon as they get In the call. Some of these same delinquents on their doctor's bill have plenty of money to spend upon fine clothes, theater*, automobiles and the like. "Some people are Just plain dead heats and never intend to pay thfctr doctor's bill. If the doctor is fairly busy he can spend but little time In sending out bills, and quite frequent- ly there are persons who take advan- tage of the fact mat they have re- ceived no bill to neglect to pay their doctor, hut they want him to dsnc* attendance upon them very quickly if they are sick, and do not consider that he should let such tilings as his meals or bis sleep Interfere v.lth their demands. "Many persons go to a doctor's of- fice Just to make a social call* and think he has time to listen by the hour to their conversation. There are others who call up by telephone and expect the doctor to diagnose their case and prescribe ovsr the 'phone, and do this for nothing. "In spite of all these troubles,* sad they are ones that every doctor has, this is a mighty good place to live In and work in and It is only a small par cent of the patients that make 40 much trouble. The majority are all right." INSURING PACKAGES SENT OUT BY MAIL Department Rules That Val- uation May Be Increased for Fee. An important ruling regarding the insuring of postal matter has been received at the local postoffice and put Into effect It used to be the rule that packages valued at more than $60 could not be Insured for more than that sum.
