8 3 i E. 48 i » A -- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, F RIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1919 | ILLINOIS BOASTS 4 : ACES AMONG FLYERS In the list of sixty-three aces of the American Flying Service are the names of four Illinois men. The list is not quite complete yet, and per- this state will get another or | two in the final count. New York heads the list as it stands, with ten aces; Massachusetts is second, with seven; Pennsylvania is third, with six, and Illinois is fourth, in the list of states. 'The Illinoisans who are aces are Captain Reed G. Landis, with twelve destroyed German machines to his credit; First Lieutenant William p.| Erwin, with nine; Second Lieutenant Frank K. Hayes. with six; and First Lieutenant James J. Seerley, with five. All the Illinois aces live in Chicago. Captain Landis is tied for third place among American aces, and holds second place among those who survived the war. He is a son of Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, of Chi- cago. "Peg O' My Heart" Oliver Morosco's splendid produc- tion of J. Hartley Manners' comedy of youth "Peg O' My Heart" will be the attraction at the Victoria theater beginning Sunday matinee, January 26, for one week engagement with matinees on Thursday and Saturday. The title role will be in the hands of Olive Moore, a remarkable pretty and clever aspirant to histrionic honors. She was selected by Mr. Morosco from more than four hun- dred applicants as being idealistic for the part. Jhe supporting cast is. one of more than usual ability, and is said to be of equal strength with the one which had a run of over 600 performances at the Cort theater, New York City. The manage- - ment promises an exact replica of the original scenic production which will be brought here in its entirety. Dutch Form of Golf Where and when golf started no- body knows of a certainty; whether or not it comes from Holland or Scotland matters little, perhaps, ex- cept to the seeker after the truth and nothing but the truth. To him we would say that some sort of a game resembling golf was played in Holland oftentimes on the ice with stakes instead of holes. No rules for such play have ever been discovered -- ~ but from pictures we learn that the finish of this Hollandish form was, somewhat' after the fashion of cro- quet, with the ball being hit between two sticks. Its Drawback Jinks--"You don't mean to say your wife wants. to sell that prize toy ter- rier you bought for her?" Binks-- "Yes, she does." "Why, I thought that toy was said to be the smallest dog in the world!" "That's the trouble. It's so small she keeps mistaking it for a mouse!" SUBSCRIBE NOW.

Dealers have ventured all sorts of descriptions for it. But today it is having its premier showing in hundreds of cities and towns throughout America. For months the trade papers have given first prominence to whatever news they could get of its details. Their interest was awakened because it combines the advantages of the light low priced car, and its economy, with the performance, sturdiness and beauty of the large and costly car. One leading writer proclaimed the Essex & new development in motor car transportation. Don't you want to be among the first in this locality to see the car that has awakened this interest? We wish you would come and ride in it for You Are To Do Its Advertising We have long wanted to reveal the details of the Essex. But the manufacturers said they wanted the car to speak for itself. They said no description that could be applied to it would create as favorable an impression as would result from a ride in the car. Even now we hesitate to praise the Essex since we can say nothing that has not already been claimed in praise for some other car. . So the endorsement it is to receive is such as you and other thousands of motorists volunteer to give. All we ask is that you come see and ride in it. We Were Surprised-- Let Us Surprise You . When we went to the factory to see the Essex we wanted to know in advance some- thing of its detail. But we werc told that was for us to discover as we inspected and rode in the car. Perhaps we would have bees skeptical and have concluded there was noiiiing un- usual about the Essex if we nad not known the men who are building it. But knowing them as we do and knowing the quality of cars they build, our faith and curiosity were aroused. What a Ride Proved to Us Our first experience was a ride over a road so rough that vou would willingly go miles out of the way to avoid if you were in the average light car. We took it at high speed, but the effect in both the front and rear seats was more in keeping with what you might expect in riding over a smooth pavement. Then we drove into soft sand where the wheels sunk in below the felloes, going through as though it were thin mud. Every test that reveals performance was shown us. There were no squeaks. The motor did not labor. The car had been in similar service for months and still retained its appearance of newness. These are things we want to show you. A demonstration like that which surprised us is ready for you if you will come to our store. The Essex is Built To Endure Every part that wears is adjustable. Hard service can not loosen the body nor twist the radiator. It is so sturdily built that the frame remains solid and rigid over the roughest roads and through the hardest service. The motor is practically free from vibration. If you were blindfolded and placed in the Essex without having seen it and then weregiven such a ride as wewant you to takewith us, youwould likely say you were in a large and costly car. After you have ridden in the Essex we will tell you all about it. Then, we think you will be so enthusiastic you will tell everyone you know that you have ridden in the most surprising car you have ever seen. 3 Come to our show rooms and ride in this wonderful car. On exhibition beginning today. It will also interest our friends along the North Shore lo know that we have again taken the Hudson Agency and have a complete line of the new models in stock. LOUIS J.
