The commencement at a higher insti tution of learning is taken as denot ing the time when the graduate goes out into the world to take part in its professional or business activities.

TIMELY ADVICE TO PARENTS The largest toll <*>f child life by reckless automobile * driving in ,,the United States occurs in Cook County, 111., according to Coroner Oscar Wolff of that district. “Your child must be quick or dead,” the comner says, and he points out the fact that a responsi bility rests upon fathers and mothers as well as with ^he automobile drivers their county registration certificates, ang in case they were due any taxes in 1924 they should carry 1924 tax receipts—all evidence supplied to the supervisor of registration in order to secure a town registration certificate should be carried -to'the polls and shown to the managers of election in order to admit of voting.. The manag ers will take up the town registration certificates, and after examining the other papers will return them to the registered electors. . ' This Information is given because a good many people go to the polls without knowing exactly what papers to ^ske with them, and in order to save a second trip to secure the neces sary papers, the information is pub lished in advance. The polls will be open from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. at the City Police Station, May 26tlj. There are five boxes—one % • ?

In Cook County’s huge toll for six months, only three children were killed while playing in the streets. “If this slaughter is not stopped, mothers will soon have to send their children to the grocery in taxicabs in order to insure their safe return-" Mrs. Cbojidge is said to walk four to sikf mlU^a day.
