"There ought to be 3,500 heads of homes in Evanston pulling every pos- sible string and bringing to bear every consideration to press for the construction of a boulevard driveway along the banks of the drainage canal from some point in Chicago to Sher- idan road in Wiimette." reads the edi- torial. "There are that many owners -of automobiles who, on holidays, Sat- urday afternoons and Sundays, find it almost impossible to get in or out of Chicago because of the terrific con- gestion which prevails upon the only automobile right-of-way between the heart of Evanston and the greater city.

This writer com- mends an immediate and earnest con- sideration of this subject to all the civic bodies of Evanston.

Handke, who had been spending the summer months at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Herman W. Meyer, 406 Prairie avenue, passed away Friday, August 5, following a serious operation in an Omaha hos- pital where he had been taken when he became ill enroute to visit re- latives at Lead, South Dakota.

"One of the things I should have entioned abovje is a common iguage and ideals. They speak rty or fourty languages, according the province or section they come^ _jm. I would need three or four terprelers to converse intelligently th all the men in my company alone. great many of them know some- ing of one or two dialects other an their own and most of them can eak some English. The younger generation of the tter class around where they have hools can talk pretty good English. Dissimilarity of Language They have very little national nsciousness among the common lople due to dissimilarity of lang- ge and customs.

My first sergeant is a 'Macca- >e' as are about half my, men. If sk him what kind of soldier so and is. his answer will depend partly on what tribe^the man comes from, he 'Tagalog' (Ta-ga-lo) is about brightest of the tribes, mostly be- use they have lived around close Manila and the Spaniards for so ..g that they have absorbed much lore erudition than their provincial •usins. , The Viscayans and Illocanos are ry bright, comparatively speaking.

The highway would provide a "short cut" from Wiimette. north and west Evanston and the villages of the north shore into the heart of Chicago, lessening the prevalent con- gestion on the principle lake shore drives.________________-------------------- COUNCIL CHAMBER FEATURE OF REMODELED VILLAGE HALL for non-resident pupils will be raised r. c. w»li^"- '* •"-â- "«•. • ;;â- â-  ,; to $150 ayje^npxJZ5-a-&cmester. pa^^-MT^r^VSehtrftz-ot-^iimeapolis, An ^uil .j.:L:i~ ~ruT £-»*, ...„«.i, «* -«-*, „..«♦ u^.wiL-o nf Colorado Sonne! aTfle-dunn^the first week of each semester.

Just now workmen are busy install- ing the stairway that will lead from the main corridor to the upper cham- bers of the structure where will be housed a beautiful and dignified ap- pearing council chamber and a suit- ably arranged general meeting hall. The proposed council chamber will surpass* in beauty and order of ar- rangement any similar rooms on the north shore, it is said. Construction of a second floor on the Village Hall was decided upon by Village authorities after the Tornado of March 28. 1920, lifted the roof from the structure and generally damaged the building. 1 Provision had been made by the architect when the building wa« con- structed for an additional floor* when- evr the growth of the village and at- tendant village business required more space in the municipal building. That time had arrived and the offi- cials are determined to have the re- modeled and enlarged structure ade- quate to care for the village business for many years to come.
