IMPROVE WHITE OAK AVENUE.

Now that the opening and extern
sion of Calumet avenue is assured
there is just one more north and
south thoroughfare on the north side
that ought to be opened up and i'm
proved That is White Oak Avenue
This street was originally designed
as a thoroughfare to connect Whiting
with East Chicago. It could also
have been Used as a highway between
Whiting and Hammond
But up here in north township we
have way of closing up streets no
matter how important they are with
out getting any compensation for
them or any alternative improve
ments such as viaducts or subways.
And so when the Baltimore & Ohio
and Calumet Terminal railroad want
ed to build yards and shops in East
Chicago they had no difficulty in hav-
ing White Oak avenue closed Now
if a viaduct is built the expense viii
have to be bourn by the municipality
or the county.
But there is still an opportunity 10

the employees who live in East Chi

purpose of distributing hundreds Of
employees over the region tributary to

The case must be carefully studied.
Not only must attention be paid to

Mr.. Kinnear He then told the story
Of his own advertising, saying he uses

Mr.. Kinnear has the right idea ex-
actly. There is no longer any ques-
tion relative to the value Of adver-
Using The question IS how each
man can best apply it to his own
business. The successful business
man makes advertising the life blood

FIND THE MORAL.

Sometimes it is entirely unneces-
sary to say much in an editorial
simply the facts and let the reader
think his own editorial. In 1892 a
famous New York dramatic critic
said of then reigning sensation:
without doubt the youngest
actress TO deserve a laurel wreath
is Miss olive Berkeley Although
not yet 16 years old, she showed
depth Of feeling, when she pene-
trated the cold and classic role Of
the statue C;alatea, that was as
artistic it was delightful Her
Galatea compared favofably with
the Galatea Of Mrs. Langtry. It is
just possible that in Miss Berkeley
we have a successor to Miss An
derson-who knows2"
Then the great white lights of that
great white way-the moth. the but
terfly and the fame-the decensus
Avernus
The other day woman was ar
rested in New York. She had slid
from the top of the white light
toboggan Let the dispatches tell the
rest:
when she was arrested in the
department store she said she had
slept in Bryant Park for three
nights and had been without food
for three days. a skirt and jacket
was all she wore Her stockings"
prove to have been painted on her
legs with shoe backing"
Who was it?
1t was Olive Berkeley fifteen years
ago the prettiest show girl in New
York.
