MRS. M. H. PRINCE GIVES REPORT OF EUROPEAN RELIEF interesting Figures of “Where the Money Went" Prepared by Local Chairman. Last spring Downers Grove took part in the nation-wide drive to raise $33,000,000 to feed the 3,500,000 ill, undernourished and orphan children of Europe until the harvest of 1921. Downers Grove went over its quota in this drive and contlibuted over $2,000. We doubt if any one has reâ€" gretted any little saérifice they may have made in order to do it. The American Relief Administra- tion received 813.189.707.91. fl'heir principal Work has been the care of about 1,300,000 children in Poland, 400,000 in Austria, 75,000 in Hungary, 200.000 in Czechoâ€"Slovukio, 3,000 in Finland, 46,000 in Esthonin, 43,000 in Latvia, 5,000 in Lithuania. Among these children in the countries borâ€" dering on Russia were approximately 200,000 Russian refugees. This or- ganization furnished clothing, sup- plies to the American Women's Hosâ€" pitals in Serbia, estimated to clothe 35,000 orphans, and furnished food supplies toward the support of 15,000 children in Montenegro, and 41,000 children in the devastated area in France.

The new engine will send the plane through the air at a speed of 120 miles per hour . This Is 30 miles fait- cr ‘hau the old, which could go only 90 miles In 60 minutes. Davenport, who is a nephew of Mrs Alice Lacey ,of the Plank road, and his partner, George Helwig, who hails from Iowa, purchased the plane from the government several years ago. They have been in the passenger car- rying game since, giving exhibition flights in Michigan, Iowa and Kan- sas and are now getting the plane in shape to take it to the west coast for the winter season. The “ship" is a bl-plane and was used as a bomber during the war. Helwig was an army pilot and put in two years in the sen vice.

Curious people have been drifting into the garage every day since the plane was brough here to inspect it and give the pilot a hint that they would like a ride.
