Sherland. ¥ "It was designed by some of the leading engineers in America to meet the demand for a high-grade car, light in weight; economical in up- keep and moderate in price. "At the same time it has the easy- riding gualities, the power for hills and acceleration and smooth flexibili- ty of operation and the beauty of outline of the most costly cars on the market. The car 1s built at the Hudson factory in Detroit. "The Essex is so sturdily construct- ed that it rides over the roughest roads with the smoothness of a car of much greater weight. The riding quality of an automobile is in the springs. Road ineaualities are the same, no matter what may be the size or lenght of the car. The springs of the Essex are as long and as flex- ible and as carefully designed as are those used under large and heavy cars and they give as good results. "In the designing of the Essex, | nothing in the way of comfort has; been sacrificed to obtain i mere ap-i pearance. The beauty of the car! comes from inherent qualities of fit- | ness of line and high ideals of work- manship. The backs of the seats reach to the shoulders and the cush- ions are real seats. not just ledges. | All of the levers and pedals are with- | in easy reach. assuring conifort even ; oan the longest tours." MANY STARS AT HOYBURN THROUGHOUT NEXT WEEK "Hearts of the World," a monster motion picture production in 12 parts, will be the attraction at the | Hoyburn theater, Evanston, on Fri- day and Saturday of this week.

RETURNS TO TWO SEMESTER PLAN As an important step in the read- justment of the university to meet post-war conditions it was decided at a trustees' meeting of Northwestern university to return to the old plan of two semesters a year. With the installation of the S. A. T. C. unit at the university a four semester plan was put into effect. This will be discarded and the two semester plan will become effective next term. The trustees also decided to length- en the summer school term from the usual course of five weeks to a nine weeks' course. Attendance at the summer school enables the student to receive practically the same num- ber of hour's credit as he would have under the four semester plan. This Foundation of Brotherhood "The doctrine of the Brotherhood of Man is a beautiful dream, but it remains forever the baseless fabric of a dream, unless it is founded upon the deepest of all realities, the Fatherhood of God. To better our social conditions we need close thoughts, careful study, a diligent ap- plication of the hest methods, but at last without faith in the eternal foundations there can be no final adjustment of social difficulties; and all earthly wisdom is but as sound- ing brass and clanging cymbals."--Dr. Samuel! Smith. Mrs. Perry L. Smithers and family of 1031 Greenwood avenue, are spend- ing the winter in Alabama.
