Many other foreign studenU also are looking for work while !ICOI'a of the regulars are picking up money by washing windows, polishing cars, acting as bellhop and helping Evans· ton housewives clean house. About the toughest job reported to President Scott was that of a student who works in a boiler factory from seven o'clock at night to seven in the morning and has an eight o'clock class. " ln the last week or .,o we have placed seventy-two men in eighty-one jobs," reported Secretary Norton, "and ther e are about twenty more who need work at once. The Y. M. C. A. furnishes employment service free and receives generous cooperation from both Chicago and Evanston employers."

The New Trier Republican club expects to hold 111eetings every week until election time, Mr. Miller announced this week The first session having been held Thursday evening of this week at the Wilmette Village hall. It should be emphasized, he states, that every voter is expected to register on Saturday, October 4, or Tuesday, October 14, to avoid confusion and possible loss of vote on November 4. Judges of election wlil be at the polling places on both Registration and Revision Day, it is explained. STANDS TEST STUDENTS TAKE PECUUAR JOBS Undertakers Assistants Boiler Makers to In the old days the college boys who worked their way thro ugh Northwestern university either waited on table or tended fumaces but not so any more, according to a report made to President Walter Dill Scott by C. D. Norton of the University "Y." Here is a list of the "new dav" labor stuff that university hustlers are no w doing : An undertaken 'phoned in f<1r a ' tu dent who would sit around hi s "parlor" Shows Exceptional FlexibH- oons cOO nings t30 y 2277 ing nt. ~!odcl A-22 Durant Cars are all etju iwed with the new Durant Four C,llimlcr Motor which recently made such an exceptional showing climbmg l'niontown Mountain in high with a load of eight men. Its remarkable Aexibilitv is said to be due to its long st roke, which takes full advantage of the expansion of the heated gases, whereas. short stroke motors operate principally on the explosion force of the charge. Evt'ryone who has heard the rear of the exhaust of an aeroplane or an automobile using a cut-out must have realized that a lot of power was wasting out the exhaust line. The designers of the new Durant Durant motor planned to use most of this power ordinarily wasted in short stroke mo tors and the . great power and flexibi lity of the new Durant motor with resulting freedom from gear shift ing proves the accuracy of their judgment. · The new 22-Durant Sedan is upholsten:d in a grade of mohair used only in another line of closed cars, and that line is in the $4,000 class. Formerly only one mill in America produced this high grade of mohair for automobiles and that mill was under exclusive contract with the makers of the expensive car mentioned. Durant Motors, Inc. , induced a manu facturer of the same grade of mohair, weaving on ly for the furniture trade, to change over all cut looms and produce thi s mohair in automobile widths. The A-22 Durant Sedan 1s the only sedan in the medium priced field upholstered with this beautiful and durable mohair. The quality of stuffing and workmanship and the platinum finished hardware is in keeping with the superior upholstery material. All Durant and Star cars are built with the patented Durant Tubular Backbone. Its chief purpose is to ~trengthen the frame and prevent twistmg strains, however, since it is a long ~ollow steel tube, the engineers decided 1t would also serve as an excellent muffler. As a result Durant and Star cars not only operate with exceptional quiet al~o with a minimt.m of back presthus yieldin~ the ben~ts of a cu~-out w1thout the objer tionable, and . 111 !flany places, illegal noise. The stlffenmg effect of the tubular backbone prevents that rear axle vibration which is ofen a principal reason for breaking of rear axle gears. Star and Durant are, therefore, particularly free from rear axle trouble. A good motor is a basic essential for a good car, but the only power of the motor that is used is what is transmitted to the rear axle. To transmit the power and do it without violence or loss is one of the greatest problems of automobile engineering. In this operation, the clutch is the vital factor. There are three chief types of clutches. One well-known car uses transmission bands which slip when worn and when the motor is overloaded. This slippage acts as a safety factor to prevent breaking the rear axle gears, but, of course, means loss of power. Another well-known make employs the .cone clut~h. When properly adjusted 1t transm1ts the full power of the motor, but. if "let in" without slipping and resul~mg loss of power, it jerks the car v1olently and sometimes breaks the rear axle gears on the universal. The type of clutch used by all the better grade of cars is t"c di sc, which combines the positive action of the cone clutch with the gradual pick up of bands without either the action of the cone clutch or the big power loss of transmission bands. The Star car is the only one in the low priced field employing the disc clutch, a feature that appeals particula~ly h? former drivers of cars equipped With either of the other types. to give things a more lively look-and got one.

A deaf student who wants to learn Spanish is still looking for a friendly co-worker to tutor him. It was quite easy to obtain an expert chauffeur "to teach a lady to drive a Ford car-this student got a permanent job." A large Evanston hotel wanted a lively youngster to deliver ice and milk within the building and is paying an N. U. student a regular salary now.

To feed t~ts aggregation of industrial, state and Ctty represent:rtives will require more than a ton of chicken, 80 gallons of soup, 250 cases of peas, 15 cases of tomatoes, 10 cases of lettuce, 50 gallons of vegetables, 25 bushels of potatoes, 100 gallons of coffee and ..00 loaves of bread. One hundred chefs will prepare the food and a small army of waiters will terve it. Fred Mann, owner of the Gardens, has given orders to s culinary department to make this the best dinner served to such a large aggregatiol), whidt \14ill be the biggest banquet ever held In the west.
