FORDS AND BRONCHOS : In, a recent item in The Lake Shore News telling of Jack Schaef- gen's return to Wilmette after tour- ing in the East, mention is made of the "startling feats of his motor car." We're itching to be told that it was a Ford. What ntakes us inclined to the belief that Jack's car came from eastern Michigan is the presence in the news item of the word "feats." -ijfhe word implies a certain agility, Acrobatic ability, not found in other £our wheeled creatures. .:!.• A Rolls-Royce is known for its Extravagant price; a Packard for 4ts quiet strength; but the Ford ex- cels all others in sprightliness. The irther cars are marvelous machines7 as efficient in their way as a comp- tometer or a giant newspaper print- ing press. The Ford, however, is less like a thing of rods and wheels and more like a broncho of the Western plains. At times its behavior plainly proves that it is really a member of the horse family. One day while' walking across Van Buren at State street we saw a Ford sedan stalled at the crossing. Suddenly there was a sharp explosion and, believe us or not, that sassy little thing reared right up on her front legs. Other people than we must have caught its similiarity to a bucking broncho judging from the laugh that went up all around us. We'd be glad to hear something more in detail about the "feats" of Jack Schaefgen's car. I AM YOUR COMMUNITY Make of me what you willâ€"I shall reflect you as clearly as a mirror throws back a candle beam. If I am pleasing to the eye of the stranger within my gates, if I am such a sight as, having seen me, he will remember me all his days as a thing of beauty the credit is yours.

My strength is in those who remain, who are content with what I can offer them, and with what they can offer me. It was the greatest of all Romans who said: "Better be first in a little Iberian village than be second in Rome." 1 am more than wood and brick and stone, more even than flesh and bloodâ€"I am the composite soul of all who call 'me Home. I am your community. There's a peculiar note of sadness in any account of dumb creatures killed in a fire, storm or some other outbreak of nature. It is distressing to hear of an outbreak of horses run- ning back into a burning barn, only to be roasted alive. Who is there whose feelings were not strangely stirred when he read of the twenty or thirty robins killed in Wilmette by the recent terrific storm? Miss MackailC who came from Eng- land three years ago, was seen on the Amsterdam roof in the Midnight Frolic" by Marshall Nielan and given her first picture work in his 'Bits ot Life." She played the part of the wife of the deaf barber and made such *a success that she has rapidly risen in the cinema world. In the short space of two years she has played in "A Woman's Woman," "The Isle of Doubt," "The Inner Man, Mighty Lak a. Rose," "The Fighting Blade, with Richard Barthelmess and His Children's Children." Mary Eaton, star of the Follies for three years, was discovered by Sam Wood, who searched in New York theaters for -a-gir4^te--pla-y-4he-role--of- "Mercedes" in "His Children's Chil- dren." Naturaily Mr. Wood included • the "Follies", in his sea re*' «£ M«£ Eaton was induced to forsake the stage, at least temporarily, for the screen. . , . . Moral' If you want to break into motion pictures get into a theatre where you can be discovered._______ When we first glimpsed the head- ing, in the N. T. Edition, "Count Emil Nord in on the Big Holiday Jobs!", we took the first word to be a title. And when we caught sight of the aristocratic features belowâ€" r^oble count-enance as it wereâ€"we murmured to ourselves, "Count Emil Nord! couldn't! Can it be?" It HIS TRUST IN THE TOILER ^ Lincoln said: "The prudent penniless beginner in the world labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself, then labors on his own account another while and at length hires another be- ginner to help him. This is the just and generous and prosperous system which opens the way to all, gives hopes to all and con- sequently energy and progress ;and improvement of condition to ialli No men living are more fiworthy to be trusted than those *whd toil up from poverty, none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not hon- estly earned/^ - 7-^â€"â€"-^â€"- €l£The United States offers the opportunity | Jor the humblest ^OEwomaii to go from-the bbitont to the top of the laddet litthampered by class distinction or official dictation. Let us al- ways keep this basic principle of our government intact. â€"The Manufacturer. We wish that the recent exer- cises marking the close of the sum- mer term of the National Kinder- garten College were also marking the beginning of the College's new career on Sheridan road, the'"close of the N. K. C's existence on Mich- igan boulevard in the midst-of din and dirt and the beginning of its new life on the north shore. Area instead of frontage seems a good basis for the special assess- ment levies, benefiting the new lighting system in Wilmette. The levy for a 50 foot lot with a depth of 175 feet ought to be le*ss than for a 50 foot lot with a depth of 200 feet. Thirty million dollars paid last year by the people of Illinois for patent medicines! Sixty times as much as was paid during the same time by the same people for pub- lic health service! As Barnum said! As this penny paragraph goes to ^press we are wondering what we'lj burn in our furnace this winter. BEING "DISCOVERED BEST WAY TO MOVIES There are many ways of breaking into motion pictures, but the surest way is by being "discovered." In Sam Wood's latest picture, "His Chil- dren's Children," now in production at the Paramount Long Island studio there are two recent discoveriesâ€" Dorothy Mackaill and Mary Eaton. And both, strange to say, come from the New Amsterdam theatre where Mr. Ziegfeld glorifies the American girl in his productions. TWe'teacher, knows the need of better sight in the school room. In every case the backward child needs glasses. It is the parents' duty to attend to the child's eye-needs at once. "We make the child feel at ease and our exami- nation is a thorough one." Dr. 0. H.
