Tirst Highway Built Is Still Carrying Traffic It is tiot generally known that the first highway of any durability was constructed by Appius Claudius in 311 B. C. This ancient highway was laid out between Rome and Capua being restained as a.military road. It still exists and carries traffic. The Appian vWay, as it was called, Was constructed of stone and mortar to a depth of about four feet. It was surfaced with stone slabs and a kind of gravel. Labor of course, was very cheap in those days, while slaves could haul materials tremendous dist- ances at little or ho cost. O f Interest illy To ur Advertisers Bach week this space is to be devot- ed to the interest of those who adver- tise in the columns^JlL this newspaper.

And don't forget to "tab" some of the helpful hints on advertising. , The remarkable success of Dollar Days last September has prompted Wil- mette merchants to plan a similar event to take place Tuesday and Wednesday February 27 and 28. These dollar days have proved profit- able far beyond the immediate monetary return enjoyed. They are occasions when the merchans really have an op- portunity to "get acquainted" with the "trade" in his locality. Articles of far greater value are of- fered on Dollar Days at one dollar. Mer- chants make promienr display ofâ€"ar- ticles offered at that reduced price. The Commercial association attends to the distribution of placards, posters and other publicity matter heralding the event with the result that merchant tions to appear on the program.^itfoBr-afld^eustomers alike are prepared when the great event transpires to enjoy some real old fashioned bargaining. The Wilmette Bird Store is now firmly established in its new location in the Rockhold building and business is going along nicely.

Mestjian, proprietor of the oriental rug cleaning establishment at 607 Main street, began construction this week of his new business location at 511 Main street. Excavation started on Tuesday of this week. Mestjian's growing business demands "more room," thus the new building. IT KEEPS THE WORLD MOVING! Advertising is one of the most im- portant cogs in life today. The follow- ing bit of quaint philosophy tells us most emphatically and most Wave of Sickness Handicaps Work in the Public Schools Teachers in the Wilmette grade schools are not immune form the wave of sickness that is prevalent on the north shore. Two weeks ago five of the regular teachers in the public schools were kept from their work by illness. Last week it was necessary to secur^ substitutes for three of the instructors. The three lat- est victims of la grippe are Mrs. Edith Wallace, Laurel school; Miss Olive Moore, Central school, and Miss Eva Jones, Logan school.
