RESIDENTS ASK CITY TO GRADE THEIRSTREET Tell Mr. Fixit Nothing Has Been Done Since October. Mr. Fixit will he your advocate at the oity hall when you require his services to obtain improvements in streets, alleys and other public works. He is The Times representative at the. city hall. Write him at The Times. It is impossible for Mr. Fixit to guarantee accomplishment of all requests he receives. But he can insure that a thorough investigation results. There are no letters from Times readers in Mr. Fixit’s waste basket. Investigation must come before results are obtained for the following letter: Dear Mr. Fixit: We, the residents of Blue Ridge Addition, are anxious to know how long a time is needed by our street cleaning department to grade any unimproved street where sidewalks and curb have been put in. Boulevard PI, between Forty-Third and Forty-Sixth Sts., has never been worked by the city cleaning department since the sidewalks and curb were put in last October. The weeds growing out in the street are a disgrace to the neighborhood. The holes in the street are many and close together. The dust, because of no oil on the street, is destroying many nice varnish jobs in the homes. Another city department has a gentleman who is trying to get people to keep their yards up, plant flowers and in general work up a real beautiful place. How can one get such an inspiration with such a street sight as we have here on Boulevard PI.? We all would welcome an inspection of this street. This street is used by most all motorists who wish to reach the new site of Butler University. FRANK SHOWERS. 245 Blue Ridge Rd. Tour request wi'l probably be granted. Thomas Newsom, assistant commissioner of unimproved streets, will personally investigate within the next few days. Dear Mr. Fixit: Will you please have our street oiled? The dust is something terrible. J. ROBISON, 1826 Minnesota St. William Schoenrogg, chief clerk of the street inspector’s department, has placed Minnesota St. high on the list of those thoroughfares to be oiled soon. All depends on the supply of oil, which this year has been curtailed because of limited appropriations. TWO MAY ESCAPE TRIAL Lack of Evidence Balks Prosecution in Pickford Kidnaping. LOS ANGELES. June 2.—The three men arrested for an alleged attempt to kidnap Mary Pickford and other film celebrities may escape punishment because of a lack of evidence, according to District Attorney Asa Keyes. Though police say the alleged conspirators have confessed to a plot by which they were to have abducted "Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks" and held her for $20,000 ransom, the, district attorneys doubt if the case can be pressed because no actual crime was committed.

Make Christopher Robin, just a laddie, your friend. Go with this youngster to the zoo where he meets, Ernest, an eiephant; Leonard, a lion; George a goat and James a very small snail. And meet ’em in the language of the singer of youth as follows: "Ernest was an elephant, a grea’ big fellow, Leonard was a lion with a six-foot tail, George was a goat, and his beard was yellow, and James was a very small snail." And something sure does happen to the four friertds before Milne stops his chant.

nry|URSERY Chairs." That’s the title of another I passport to never-never again land. Can’t you remember when you were a youngster and crawled up

in one chair, making it a great ship with wonderful white nails. In thatj old boat you t.ure did sail to South America. And in another chair when you were in another chair you turned yourself into a roarin’

lion. Os course, this all happens in the second chair as follows: “I’m a great big lion in my cage. And I often frighten Nanny with a roar. Then I hold her very" tight, and tell her not to be so frightened—And she doesn't be so frightened any more.” And guess what you did in the fourth chair? Well this is what Christopher did in the magic poetry of Milne: “When I sit in a high chair For breakfast or dinner or tea, I try to pretend that it’s my chair, And that I am a baby of three. "Shall I go off to South America? Shall I put out in my ship to sea? Or get in my cage and be lions and tigers? Or shall I be only Me?”

MAYOR’S VETOS STAND Council Fails to Repass Annexation Ordinance. Mayor Shank’s veto of two ordinances stood despite attempts of city council members Monday night to pass them over his objections.

Other ordinance would have permitted the Illinois Central Railroad to lay switch track across S. Senate Ave. near Minnesota St.

That was a question because the picture book said the king was nicknamed "The Handsome.” And Teddy always hoped that he “might yet be named ‘The Handsome Cub.’ ” Have only hinted at the beautiful dreams snatched in their glorious beauty from the flimsy cobweb path that connects childhood from grownup youth. While I was readin’, dreamin’ and liking life all over again in reading this little book of verse, I seem to feel just like I did when I read Bill Herschell—all good, happy and good. Few men catch the spirit of youthful Imagination. And Milne does that and even more in "When We Were Very Young.” And the drawings in this little book are exquisite.
