It was g-ratifying to see ho\\. heartily the young people co-operated. \\'ithont this co-operation the older people could have accomplishc(l nothing of value. Had the young people decided . to act independently it would, indeed not have been a sane 1Iallowe'en. The police earned the thank~ of the Yanou s rpmm tlll iti~s.

Of all these important causes for thanksgiving many " ·ill agree that the most ·im portant is "assurances of peace ~trcng· th ened and enlarged." The l ,resident probablv had in mind assurances based on tlw rec~nt . visit of Premier ::\IacDonald as ,,·ell a. Jon earlier events such as the signing of the Kellogg Pact and the achieYements of the 0\\'cn Young- Commission. Surely the strengthening and enlarging of the assurances of peace rumbine to make a cause for thanksgiving that is tremendously significant. It raises before one who contemplates it a vision not only of the lTnited States of Europe hut also of the L·nited States of the \\'orld. :\ map of Chicago .ar·rangcd by the Board of Education Bureau of Safety sho\\'S verY plainly that llH·st auto accid~nts do :\0'1' occur at points "·here the Safety traffic is most congested hut out where driYer~ Engineering and .rhildrei1 arc less careful. This fart sltuuld be of g-reat significance to north hore people, inasmuch as traffic is decidedly not so congested on the north shore as in Chicago, and therefore drivers and children arc likeh· to be much le~s careful in north sho.re towns than tn Chicago. Consequently there is need on the north shore for what may ,,·ell be called "safety engineering." .\ careful study of traffic conditions should be made.

Literal Interpretation "Hebe" Hudson, Illinois Chamber of Commerce "p("p" exhorter, tells one on the Ladies Aid society which, anticipating a \V.hite Elephant sale, called upon its members to bring from their homes things for which they had no particular use, hut found a hit to0 valuable to throw away. Twenty-seven members brought their husbands. And then there's the quip about the Scotchman who, when discovered toying with a spare set of false teeth, confessed that he had only the day before learned of his wife's extravagant habit of eating hdwcen meals.
