WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1920 EW ONEACT EVELATION Time Present. Jace--North Shore Hotel, Characters--Mrs. and Mrs. Jones. Brown Enter: Mrs. Brown from "hicago avenue, in a much perturbed state of mind. She catches sight of Mrs. Jones and rushes up to her. Mrs Brown: --My dear, 1 1av such a dreadful time getting here, you just an't imagine how I feel. My 'radiator evidently had not been filled at the garage and the motor got so hot that I ad to stop and get water ut in. And what do you think the garage man told ie when he looked at the ngine ? Mrs. Jones: --I can't imag- e, my dear. Mrs. Brown: --He said the fan belt had slipped or broke or something and it took him over a half hour to fix it--and then, to cap the climax, one of the tires blew out and I had to get a man (and, my dear, he really was ~ such a nice, polite man) to fix it. Mrs. Jones :--Oh, well dear, forget about it and come in 'to luncheon. --After being Luncheon-- Mrs. Brown: --You never "seem to be late or have any trouble at all with your car. { What kind do you drive? ~ Mrs. Jones: --Well, of course I do not have any trouble with water or fan | belts or things of that kind 1 because my car does not | have them and, as for punc- | tures, well really, I don't | remember when I have been ~ bothered that way. Oh! ~ Pardon me, I did not answer your question--probably be- 1 Cause I am so enthusiastic "about my car. It is a Frank- lin and does not freeze in the winter or get hot in the | summer and, do you know, | I have run it over twenty | miles on a gallon of gasoline, and, so far, over 12,000 miles on the same tires and not a | puncture. Mrs. Brown: --Isn't that wonderful! I do wish John |} would buy one for me. Won't you and Will come seated at 1 about it? Mrs. Jones: --Why yes, we would be glad to, because we 1 feel that we owe it to our friends to tell them all the | things we like about our car and, you know, Will is just as enthusiastic about it as I am. 1 --Exit-- Postlogue :--and John bought a Franklin in a few | days from hy i Gage Motor Sales Public Sanction By H.. F.C. Everyone realizes that high prices have come to stay at least for some- time to come and the trend of the times shows that the staples of life are higher than last year and much as this condition is to be regretted-- facts are stubborn things. Staples, as well as ordinary necessities of life, must be bought by the employes in the telephone company as well as others in different walks of life. This condition means that in every direction the telephone company is confronted with higher expenditures, a few cents more for this article, used in the telephone business, and a few dollars more for another, amounts up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The telephone service is, unfortun- ately, not built upon a gold mine. All the money it receives and pays away, | § and the greater part is paid away again, as soon as it is received, comes from rates. , The rates need adjusting for tele- phone service in like manner to any other industry. The public merchants supplying telephone material can adjust prices without the sanction of the telephone company, but the telephone company being an utility needs a willingness on the part of its subscribers to ad- just its rates. An adjustment at this time will be appreciated by the Utility, and will be reflected in service and further facilities as time proceeds. FORT SHERIDAN NOT TO BE CLOSED OCTOBER 1 The report that Fort Sheridan is to be closed as a military hospital October 1 has been found to be a mere rumor. Those in charge at the fort state that no definite date has been set for the closing of the hospital. No doubt it will be done away with within the next few months, they say, but just when that will be no one knows. As long as there are patients to be taken care RL [I V E 1. I E I mi of the hospital must be maintained. At present there are over seven hun- dred in the various wards. Dr. Miller, Osteopath. Hotel, North Shore Evanston. Phone 6424.
