24 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 Resume Concerts in October George C. Dasch, Symphony Conductor Music lovers of New Trier who have not as yet subscribed for seoson tickets for the series of seven New Trier symphony concerts given under direction of George Dasch are advised to register at this time with R. D. Burtner, 1504 Monadnock building, Chicago, for a place on the waiting list of ticket holders. While the sub- scription list was filled early this summer, it has been the experience of the sym- phony association that many people relinguish their tickets so that tickets are usually available to the waiting list. The Symphony Players' organization has been increased to 45 pieces and the concert series extended to seven performances. George C. Dasch will conduct. CARE WILL SAVE MONEY ON CARS Easy to Be a Spendthrift ; While Motoring It used to be the fashion for the spendthrift to give champagne parties, but there is an easier way to throw away money, says a bulletin issued by the Chicago Motor club. Force your car up steep hills, so that every part of it strains and the engine overheats. Never shift to second, as the instruc: tion books advise. This is an excel- lent way to get rid of surplus coin of the realm that may be annoying you. If vou have ambitions to be a motor spendthrift, you can complete the pic- ture by descending the hill with clutch thrown out, and with your brakes try- ing to hold the car. If you are inclined to be a bit careful of your money and life, you will shift to second or low and let the engine act as a brake in descending hills. Motorists accustomed to flat country often get into trouble where hills are encountered. In parking your car do not depend upon your emergency brakes. Cramp the wheels in to the curb and leave the gears set in low or reverse. Many accidents are caused by the driver who does not know how to pass another car going in the same direction. Do not wait until you get about 10 feet behind the car ahead and then dart out; start moving over to the left when you are two or three hundred feet behind; sound your horn as you drive up close, and then pass. Here is the reason for this suggestion: If you wait until you are close to the car preceding you, a driver following you may decide that he wants to pass you, and if you make up your mind to turn out at the same time that the other driver comes to the same conclusion the result may be disastrous. If, how- ever, you ease your way over to the left hand side of the road you have eliminated this possibility of an acci- dent. As women are freed from some of their cares with the re-opening of the schools, they begin planning work for the winter for their own pleasure and profit. The French department of the Winnetka Woman's club is glad to an- nounce that Monsieur Georges Cauuet has enlarged his school for the study of French to a school of languages. This winter he will offer Italian and Spanish, as well as French, under able teachers of his school. les ~ 4-Piece Sheridan Suits FOR SCHOOL BOYS With the Golf Knickers and Vest Sheridan Suits will be in great attendance the very first day of school--and throughout the whole year, for the boys like them so well and they wear so long.

Rawlings, state health director, who is in personal charge of the project. Over 1500 have already been registered and a 1000 more are expected before entries close on Sept. 12.

"Twins, triplets, families of six and solo entries will compete for the $600 in cash, the hundred dollar value lady's gold watch and the Governor's loving cup which are included in the 52 awards offered."

They occupy 2500 square feet in a room to them- selves in the Exposition building build- ing. With framework of spotless white and wide glass panels anlong the double public observation aisles, the quarters provide a dozen booths in which tests will be made individually under quiet, peaceful conditions free from haste and yet in clear view of interested spectators. Arrangements are such that mothers and children will be kept from contact with the public during the entire conference procedure. "The conference organization will consist of a double professional staff. Each child will pass under the careful observation of well known child specialists, physicians, psychiatrists and dentists and each will have the constant attention of trained nurses. Medical advisory service for the bene- fit of mothers who wish to inquire into the findings of the examinations, will be provided throughout the period of the conference. "From a small beginning of doubt- ful possibilities, involving only 250 babies and a staff of a dozen doctors and nurses, the baby conference has grown to its present magnitude in 10 years and is now regarded as one of the leading features of the fair.
