THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1918 NOTED SPEAKERS WILL ADDRESS SUNDAY CLUB Social Gospel Services, with World Famed Speakers, to Feature Acti- vities During Spring Months. BIG DISCUSSION ON WAR Dr. Charles A. Aked to Speak of Ar- menian Assassination, Sunday Arrangements have just been com- pleted by the management of the Wilmette Sunday Evening club for a series of important social gospel addresses by famous authorities on present world conditions. Following the policy of the club to interpret the great developments of the day religiously, this scries will treat of a number of the war problems as they touch upon our own and several other countries in which present events have the great- est social and religious significance. The first address, on next Sunday evening, will be "The Assassination of a Race," which will be a graphic portrayal of the murder of the en- tire Armenian nation by the Turks. The speaker will be Dr. Charles F. Aked, one of the most eminent preachers of the English speaking world. Dr. Aked was for ten years engaged in the ministry in Liver- pool, during which time he was very active in English affairs, being as- sociated with Mr. Lloyd George and other leaders. Later he was minister at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, New York, and still later he served in San Francisco. He is now on the lecture platform. His wide activities and experience make him an authori- ty on his subject. Special music will be rendered by Miss Hazel Huntley, contralto, who will be accompanied by Mr. Walker, in a cornet obligato. The second address of the series, on March 24, will be on the situation which is developing between Siberia, Japan, and America, and the effect of missionary work in Siberia and Alaska. The speaker will be Edgar G. Raine, who for six years was United States Government agent in Alaska and who has traveled exten- sively in Siberia. The address will be illustrated by 200 Stcrcopticon slides. On March 31, Dr. John Scott, of Northwestern University, will speak on the situation in Macedonia. On April 7, Prof. If. G. Wells, of the Pathological department of the L'uiversity of Chicago, who has traveled three months in Koumania, will give an illustrated lecture on conditions in that 1 heater of war. April 14, Dr. Theodore Soares, of the University of Chicago, will speak on "The New Internationalism", the address, which a forth-night ago at- tracted such favorable attention at the Chicago Sunday Evening club. Dr. Soares appears nearly every season before the loral club and al- ways receives a hearty welcome. On April 21, Dr. Edward Steiner, of Grinnell College, another old time favorite with local audience, will speak on a subject to he announced later. It is probable that Miss Margery Maxwell, soprano of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, who sang last Sunday evening, will supply the vocal music at one or more of the services of the series just planned. MOTOR CAR DIVISION READY FOR FRANCE Five motor car companies, consti tuting the first Motor Car Division of the United States Army, have completed training at Camp Joseph K. Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla., for service in France. Each man of each company is a soldier. At the front the duty of these men will be to drive the motor cars used by officers. Late last year orders were received to train a motor car division at Camp Johnston. The men provided numbered several hundred, all fresh from civil life, and the majority of them total strangers to a motor car. The officers assigned to the work of training the men laid out a course on the theory of the internal com- bustion engine and automobile prin- ciples, in particular. The men were thoroughly grounded in theory, and j giver, a complete practical course in the highly important matter of re- pairs. They were familiarized with motor car parts. :uid received their final course of driving instructions with a Meet of twenty-seven cars. DIM HEADLIGHT LAW WARNING IS ISSUED SLACKERS IN DRAFT ONLY .0026 PER CENT With the advent of Spring and Summer motoring season, the auto- mobile owners of Illinois, driving at night, will have to mind their p's and q's more closely than ever be- fore. Otherwise they will be haled into court for violation of the state law, recently revised, which makes compulsory the dimming of head- lights on passing vehicles when they are a distance of 250 feet or less away from one another. "The police have been instructed to see this law is strictly observed," said C. W. Price, advertising man- anger of the Osgood Lens & Supply company of Chicago, "that the large number of accidents and the dangers of night driving of past years, due largely to glaring headlights, may be eliminated. Provost Marshall General Crow- der, in his report on the first draft, made public to-day, said only 8750 men were arrested as draft evaders out of almost 10,000,000 men subject to the law. The report says that "in the final analysis only .0026 per cent of males between 21 and 31 inclusive, have failed or neglected to register." Wins Promotion Mr. B. F. Clifford, of 803 Lake avenue, who has for the past twenty- five years been connected with the Boston Woven Hose & Rubber com- pany, of Boston, Mass., as salesman, branch manager and sales manager, FORD MACHINES LEAD IN STATE OF OREGON An indication of Ford popularity is well shown in the State of Ore- gon, to November 1, 1917, the Oregon registration of motor cars showed a total of 42,298 cars, of which 14.620 were new cars purchased during 1917. Of this total. 17,125 were Ford pleasure cars and 1,254 Ford com- mercial cars, making the total re- gistration of Ford cars 18,379. Statistics show that there were re- gistered in the state 5,021 new Ford pleasure cars and 250 new Ford com- mercial cars, making a total of 5,721 new Ford cars registered last year. Forty makes of cars are represented in the total state registration, and it is a noticeable fact that the Ford cars consist of slightly over 38 per cent of the total. 4I1IIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIV. i Samples and Booths shown without go- | § ing downtown, by phone or writing = I KARL PAPE I I SUCCESSOR TO L.

In the year 1916 the Bell Telephone System expended over sixty-one and one-half million dol- lars for equipment and construction—an amount seldom exceeded during any year of its existence. During the same period approximately six mil- lion dollars additional compensation was paid to the employes of the System to cover the abnormal working conditions. Transcontinental and wireless telephony are being developed, and offering increasing scope to the scientist and electrical man. The vast army of workers of fhe country are asked to realize that telephone development to-day is limited only by the factors of raw material sup- ply and production capacity. WS.S.
