Articles for publication reach this office by Thursday to insure appearance in cards of notices of egular advertising rates. Entered at the postoffice at Winnetka, linois, as mail matter of the second ss, under the act of March 3, 1879. SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1920 Interning Cars he suggested ordinance under consideration by the Chicago city cil providing for the internment the cars of arrested speeders has 'a good deal to recommend it. Nothing as been more completely demon- trated than that the drivers given oiexceeding the speed limit care very little for the penalties exacted by the speeders' court. A fine for a man ith plenty of money is a very small hing and the elimination of the in- onvenience of being taken to the police station at the time of arrest as minimized the unpleasantness of being stopped by the policeman. In certain of the western states the penalty for driving faster than the imit set by the law .is imprisonment with hard labor. It is a policy that has been shown to work well, for men who would care nothing at all for the imposition of a fine, however heavy, are little disposed to expose themselves to the chance of working E on the municipal rock pile. Indeed, the less regard theré is for the fine, the greater is the desire not to have to put. in time at hard physical labor. A policy of internment of cars of speeders would 'bein its results not unlike that of imprisonment at labor, |' in that it would hurt in a more tender spot than a well filled purse. It would be worth trying out, at any rate, as a beginning towards a solu~ tion of the problem of protecting the general public from the insane desire of the man at the wheel of a "high power car to try out the pos- sibilities of his engine. Harding's Program The usefulness of America to the world is pretty much dependent upon the soundness of the country itself. | We can help others only if we are, "ourselves sound. For that reason it is reassuring 'to have Senator Hard- ing express himself as he did re- ~ garding the duty of those to whom | of | shall be given the leadership 'American affairs in the future. "To safeguard America first; "To stabilize America first; "To prosper America first; "To think of America first; "To exalt America first; 3 "Po live for and revere America first." This is a program not selfish in intent or effect. Its following will enable this country to contribute most to the reconstruction of a dis- rupted world, will afford the sound spot from which the cure of the evils 'that are everywhere raging may be- gin. The Motor Busses In Chicago Residents on Sheridan road in Chicago are asking that the drive be 'closed to the motor busses. They contend that these public conveyan- ces are ugly, noisy and detract from the beauty of the drive. They do not add that they are offensive to those who dwell upon the street and would like to call the drive their own, but the inference is obvious. Street cars are ugly. A passenger train is not a thing of beauty but 'there has never been a movement to ondemn them as a means of trans- busses may not be altogether pleasant company for those who view them all day long, but the fact remains that they are liked by those who use them for purposes of transportation and that others than those who live upon the drive or own automobiles in which to ride as they enjoy its beau- ties have some right to its use. There would be a good deal of outcry were it to be suggested that those who live along the lake drive to the city be called upon to pay the entire cost of its construction and upkeep. It is entirely right and proper to tax the general public for that purpose, but quite another story to provide a means by which those who help to pay the price of the drive may enjoy a little of the pleasure which it affords. Opposition to the motor busses is an expression of snobbishness in its simplest form. It tells the story of selfishness and a belief in the superi- or privileges of a class defined by the amount of money that there happens to be at command. The city of Chi- cago can scarcely lend an' ear to the protests of the residents upon the drive without betraying a susceptib- ility to the persuasive voice of ducats that is scarcely to be invited.

Fourteen sections are be- ing worked on the National Old Trails road, which cuts across south- ern Illinois from St. Paul to Terre Haute, Ind. Twelve gangs are at work on twelve sections of the Lincoln high- way, which runs from Chicago by way of Geneva, De Kalb, Dixon and Sterling to Clinton, Ia. Twenty-three gangs are at work on the road from Chicago to St. Louis, which runs of highways, working the limit of its crippled capacity, has announced it still has hope of completing the sea- son's program of 450 miles of federal atd road. Fifty-seven road-building gangs are at work now, according to-Super- intendent S. E. Bradt, completing fif- teen miles of hard road each week, and there is a prospect of raising this weekly total to twenty-five miles. | But the prospect has been clouded. Use of coal cars, heretofore available for carrying road materials, has been subject to radical curtailment. This shortage threatens to cripple the de- partment seriously. Two Serious Hindrances From Juen 21 to July 21, the Inter- state Commerce Commission has rul- ed, no open-top cars may be used for anything but coal, unless going in the direction of the coal mines. Dur- ing this period, Superintendent Bradt says, fully one-fourth of the work may be stopped. This is the second serious hindrance. The first came June 1, when a car service order cut the car supply for road material 50 per cent. However, these orders, switchmen's strikes and high costs notwithstand- [HTH A YEAR From Now The only way you will able to remem- ber how your baby now looks is to have a well made photo graph.

Six are at work on the Dixie trail, from Chicago through Danville to Marshall, and two gangs are at work on the road from Chicago through Waukegan to the Wisconsin line. Work] Federal aid, by which the govern- ment provides half the money, is in 'back of all this work. None of $60,000,000 worth of bonds which to build 4,800 miles of road in Illinois, has yet been touched. A total of 850 miles of roads and some bridge build- ing contemplated under the bond issue program will be completed, be- fore any bonds are issued, Mr. Bradt 'said. Of the 450 miles of road now under process of construction, only fifty miles was contracted for this season, Contract for 600 miles was let last year, but only 200 miles was complet- ed. This left the 400 miles for this year, and deferred until next spring the plan of the department to let contracts this year for 1000 miles, That plan was necessarily annulled by the difficulties the department is now encountering. » REDUCED PRICES for : Automobile [Painting 2 During Summer Months . . .
