PETITION FOR LIGHTS
Seventy Seventh Street and
Illinois Central Cross
ing a Dark Place.

The apparent need of electric lights.
gates and a Waterman at the Seventy
seventh street crossing of the Illinois
Central road has been demonstrated
time and again and this week petit
lions are being circulated among the
residents which will be presented to
asking them to put gates at this point
and provide a Waterman.
The Seventy seventh street crossing
is rapidly becoming one of the busiest
in the north end of the ward through
the Cheltenham and Windsor Park dis
trict. The congregations of five
churches use this crossing in going and
coming from church. The Myra Brad
we'll school children are also compelled
to cross this dangerous crossing. There
are several new business houses under
course of construction at this point
which will soon make it one of the
business districts on the north side.
During the time school was in SEES
sion a Waterman was stationed at the
crossing during school hours, but at all
other times it has been without pro-
lection of any kind. Especially during
the evening hours is the crossing dan
gerous. 1t is poorly lighted from dis
tant lamp posts and it is without gates.
In the petition it is asserted that the
lives of hundreds of school children
and oilers are in danger without the
gates and lights What the people are
demanding is, to have the crossing put
on a par with the one al Seventy fifth
street

Regular Meeting of South
Chicago Association
Occurs.

The regular meeting of the South
Chicago Business Mems association
Will be held this evening at their club
rooms in the Lincoln block and from
the outlook so far it will be one Of
the tamest meetings of the season. The
only thing of Importance that will
come before the association will be
suggestions for lettering the street
car service. The members of the
South Chicago association believe that
with the cooperation of the Chelten-
ham Improvement Association and the
East Side association they will be able
to get a few concessions from the
company.
The Chicago City railway company
will assume control of the local sys-
tenn the first of August. and the three
business mems associations believe
that if they make their demands to-
gether the company will have to come
across and meet a few of the peoples
wants.
Speaking of tomorrow's meetings A
f. Kerstemeier. secretary of the
South Chicago Business association
said We are particularly DESTROYS Of
having a large crowd of business men
out to this evenings meeting and al
though at the present time it looks
like this will be a slow meeting. l
want every member to come out"
A large crowd of citizens will also
be in attendance at this evenings
session.

GOOD TINE To BUILD
Labor and Material Give
Full Value For Money
Spent on Them.

A more opportune time to build than
the present has never been given the
people of the Calumet region 1t is
possible now to secure more work and
better work for the same price than
at any time during the last five years.
Materials are cheaper, labor is
cheaper. laborers everywhere eager to
work and give full value for the money
they receive. These are factors that
the investor should consider during the
next few months and those who are
contemplating building will do well to
do so during the summer months
In an interview with labor leaders
and retailers of building material the
following table was prepared. giving
the price for erecting a building dur
ing the last of 1907 and at the present
time.

Where The Man Should Walk,

A matter that is debated now and
then Of late is in regard to the posi-
ton that a man shall take when es-
corting a lady On the street. In this
country he always takes the position
next tt the curb In Europe he takes
the inside place. the theory being that
IA case of any trouble he would crowd
the lady if on the outside and give her
less opportunity to escape If the es-
cort is on the right and the crowd
turns to the right. it will be more like
ly to jostle the lady.

Character Shapes Our lives.

We cannot divide our work from
ourselves, nor isolate our future from
our qualities. A ship might as well try
to sail north with her jib and south
with her mainsail as man to go one
way in conduct and another way in
character What we do belongs to what
we are, and what we are is what be
comes of us.-Henry Van Dyke.

Soldiers Make Good Servants.

They have in England a society for
the employment of reserve soldiers"
and some ladies connected with it
have taken the trouble TO train the ex-
soldiers for servants, and, it is said,
with remarkable success. The men
who have been the officers servants
are most sought for this purpose. and
they are said to like the work in the
house, and, although old, many of
them are quite strong.
