the possibility OF the Chief Justice
retiring in June at the end of this
term, but he has given no indica-
ton that he planned to do so. On
the contrary friends have quoted
him as saying he intended to re-
main on the court as long as
his health permitted.
He appears to be in good health
and he has not missed a day from
his court duties since the term
began last October. He enters
the Supreme Court chamber with
firm stride, speaks forcefully
when necessary, and keeps the
business of the tribunal moving
with dispatch.
At times, too, he enlivens the
proceedings with flashes of humor
which surprise spectators who had
regarded him as stern and aus
tere.
Even more than In the past, the
Chief Justice is conserving
strength for his judicial duties. 1t
Is seldom that he accepts social
engagements.
He has been extremely careful
with his diet. since an illness two
years ago. and exercises by TAX
ing an early morning walk when

Around The

We land half the city, have
been watching that hole in the
ground on Washington st. just
north of Michigan Ave, near the
first alley. A hole in the ground
doesn't offer much of interest but
its downright curious to see how
many people look into 1t.
There are those dignified ones
who take a quick Look down their
noses but don't stop. those who
stop a half minute to crane their
necks without worrying about
whether their Adams apples show
and those without pride (like u.s.,
who perch on the pile OF dirt at
the side OF the hole and don't miss
darn thing. Not even the dirt
when 1t comes flying out. That's
one way to get an eyeful.
But to get back to the hole. Re-
member that lamp post that ex-
ploded last winter? This holes
the result, OF it. All those neat
little holes they've been punching
in that area were to locate the
