'RAGS TO RICHES,' COMMUNITY PICTURE Why is it that the appeal of the theme of the boy's rise from rags to riches is eternal and unfading, having a powerful hold on young and old alike? And why is its message uni- versal? The answer to these ques tions is given in "Rags to Riches," the Harry Rapf production sponsored by Warner Brothers, which is announced for next Friday at the Community House. Freckled, inimitable Wes will be re- membered by all who saw him in "School Days." He typifies the un conquerable spirit of youth and its adventurous strain, which he always succeeds in communicating to his au- dience. "Rags to Riches," adapted from Charles A. Taylor's celebrated stage play, centers about young Marmaduke | Clarke, a wealthy little child, who frets under the artificic formality of his home, and pines fo. little action. He gets his chance = Hn discovering a burglar in the .~se. When the second-story aptig escapes Marma- duke pursues hic and becomes his pal. Then the two roam through the coun- try, while a gang of desperate crooks shadow them for the tempting reward offered for Marmaduke. How the lad helps to corral the crooks makes for a climax which is exciting and re- freshing. Skokie Basketball Teams Get Edge on Country Day In the Skokie-North Shore Country Day Inter-School Basketball League the Skokie school seems to have the edge, for H. P. Clark's tossers have won the two inter-school games that have been played to date. Boys in the Skokie and Country Day schools have been divided into six teams. Four of the teams are com- posed of Skokie boys. In the initial games the Skokie Shawnees, cap- tained by Bill Foule, defeated the North Shore Lynx 22 to 6; the Skokie Stags, under Captain O. Anderson, beat the North Shore Wolves by a 1 to 0 score in a forfeit game, and the Skokie Sagamores, led by Captain D. Anderson, walloped the Skokie Swal- lows to the tune of 24 to 11. Skokie girls are also organized into a league intra-mural competition only. In the preliminary games the Red Wings, led by Alison Cook, beat the Savages in a close game, which re- sulted in a 28 to 22 score. More games in each series are to be played off this week, according to H. P. Clark, director of physical edu- cation at the Skokie school.

The im- proved Gardner clutch operates with priced car. Also, the emergency brake which is direct on the drive a touch on the convenient brake han- dle and the Gardner comes to a stand- still. "The improved Gardner motor with the five-bearing crankshaft insures flexibility without the least vibration, and the almost unlimited power that is there at your touch enables the driver to run evenly along at a pace slower than a walk, but a touch on the accelerator, and the Gardner picks up without an effort and travels along at a high rate of speed. The reserve power permits one to drive; in high gear, behind the slowest moving team on the roads. "Unusually large tie-rod bolts well lubricated, is another feature that in- sures easy steering. Women drivers appreciate these conveniences as well as the attractive appearance, roomi- ness and comfort of the new Gardner. It is truly worthy of its slogan 'All that a four can save--All that a six can do."
