UP AND DOWN Ghe Avenue WITH THE EDITOR About the “Century of Progress” Exposition. A friend ventures he will bet there are very few people who remember how Chicago ac tually looked a century ago! The abbreviation “B. O.” is often-times seen in the movie magazines, particularly in the trade journals, but one comes to learn that it does not mean the same as in the newspaper ads. It means “Box Office!” Penders Grocery Store will soon occupy the recently remodeled building in the main block on Roa noke Avenue in the South ward business section that has been un occupied since W. C. Williams moved his business to his new Funeral Home in the Postoffice block. And now with the recent es tablishment of E. W. Smith’s Elec tric Shop and Wafford’s Jewelry Store occupying the old Crowder stand, and the new candy kitchen nextdoor to the Rosemary Drug Co., empty store rooms are fast becoming a thing of the past on the Avenue. If you don’t think U. S. Senator Robert R. Reynolds is “one of us” consider his question to George Whitney, Morgan partner, during last week’s testimony in the Senate Investigation, in which “Our Bob” asked: “Have you heard that the dictator of the Italian Gov ernment—I never can pro nounce his name—sometimes I call him Mussolini and some times Mussoloni — participat ed?” There is something intrinsically “human” about a man who admits he doesn’t know how to pronounce “Mussolini” . . . particularly be fore a Senate Investigating Com mittee. Our own favorite method in learning a new word is first to hear it pronounced over radio or in the talkies before “springing it” on an unsuspecting world, but even that hag its hazards, for according to recent authority of such nature we might be going around saying: “des-pik’a-ble” or “bur-le-que.” It may be alright. A1 Smith says “rad-i-o” with accent on the “rad” and a short “a,” and the lady on South Main Street says that sounds better than what her husband calls it at times. BOY ROBBERS BEGINS ON PAGE ONE Since that time they have been in the counvy jail at Halifax in de fault of bond.
