Maurice Eby, 1124 North Clark street, Chicago, this week took a new residence in the Cook County jail at the especial invitation of Magistrate D. M. Mickey of the Wilmette Police court. Eby is charged with the theft of jewelry from the J. E. McEldowney home at 1133 Elmwood avenue; and the H. B. Bordwell residence at 511 Tenth street. Eby, to be sure, was not caught in the act of burgling, nor was he the pursued one in a wild police chase. On the contrary, he was plucked by the guardians of the law in Rogers Park Monday night, it is alleged, he was engaged in considerable night prowling. To the pointâ€"Eby was corralled by one Edward Bruce who, upon noting the defendant acting suspiciously in the vicinity of the Bruce residence, got the fellow into a fence corner, yelled loudly and long, thereby sum- moning the aid of scores of residents and a squadron or two of police. Police, later instituting a search of Eby's hall bedroom, came upon the aforementioned collection of jewelry. He was transported to Wilmette early Tuesday morning and dispatch- ed to the County jail later in the day. He is held to the grand inry.

"A hospital that is to be used as a permanent home for wounded soldiers is a national institution," said one of the Xaverians, "and would be cheer- less indeed, were not the environment such as to lend to it happiness and comfort and a homelike atmosphere." "The_ LabojL jQueslion^ of Today," was the subject of an address before the Xaverian club^ b_y_ the Rev. Fred- rice Siedenberg, eminent authority On social and economic questions.. Msgr. Francis C. Kelly, who has just recently returned from a four months trip in Europe gave an ex- cellent talk depicting his observations on the present situation in the sev- eral countries of Central Europe. Msgr. Kelley knows his Europe and is as familiar with most of the old Capitols and important personages in them, as are many of the most favored diplomats. His accurate in- formation from first hand knowledge lends special authority to his views on some puzzling European questions.

Cares there are/no doubt, many cares, many trying moments, many situations that demand adjustment and the employment of rare good judgment. _______ But how can there be cares of the really dull variety when there are children, cooing babes, rollicking boys and dancing, song - inspired little girls? To be sure there is the other side of life. Some of those babes, sickly and thin, cry most of the day. Many of those boys, overworked and un- dernourished, held in the vise-like grip of poverty, are too ill for ball games and swimming. Many of those girls, "little mothers of the tene- ments," who never had a pretty party or a stunning new frockâ€"even of the calico varietyâ€"whose daily life has been the endless grind of drab house- hold drudgery, are too wan and broken in body and spirit to be at- tracted to the joys of healthy, effer- vescent girlhood. Highland avenue, one of ihe finest streets on the west side, will remain a street of beautiful homes and will be~kept-T^rto^rtngh-standaTd if res- idents in the vicinity of the Fifteenth street corner have anything to say about the matter. Theâ€"residents came out on top in what amounted to a considerable argument this weekv^when the good people there Were advised a real estate broker had placed property at the disposal of certain^'undesirables". An indigmrticmmeeting held in one of the Homes Wednesday evening promised to provide the necessary funds to assist the newcomers in "moving from there." The newcomers having previously agreed to such an arrangement, it was said. It. developed at the Wednesday meeting that prominent citizens of the west side were soon to organize a West Side Improvement associa- tion for the purpose of maintaining that section of the village on a level with other high class residence sec- tions .of the village.

There are. always those -•*- who just came in the other dayâ€"who are strangers to the cool, invigorat- ing breath of the great inland sea, who have basked but faintly in the sunshine of the great out-of-doors, who have become fixed parts of an eternally fixed existence, a world of dingy, barren rooms with a dull out- look over grimy alley tunnels or bleak, unkempt streets. Thenâ€"after a week or soâ€"there are those who have be- come thoroughly charmed by the new life, the fairy world of sunshine, the meadows of flowers, the forests of giant trees, the sandy beach, the cool lapping wavesâ€"yes, and the wonder- ful "eats," pretty, comfortable rooms, clean beds, lots of fun on the play- grounds and the wonder-people, the fairy god-mother and all her loving, kindly helpers. Prepare For Big Season It is a labor of love among these children of the tenements. Prepara- tions for the biggest season at Ar- den Shore are well under way. Buildings are being repaired and everything made ready for the great day that will usher in the joy-dis- pensing, health-instilling season. "Not one of our vacationers leaves Arden Shore without expressing ap- preciation for that which the camp has given," says Miss Ferrier. "But I often think that we workers little know how and where the seeds we plant grow into plants and flowers, "I know that mothers who get their first real knowledge of nutrition, san- itation and hygiene from onr infor- mal talks with them at Arden Shore, carry the story of right living to their neighbors when they go back to their tenement homes.
