ESSEX WINS CLASS : HONORS IN CLIMB Climbing eight tortuous miles to an elevation of nearly five thousand feet in the amazing time of nineteen minutes and four seconds, an Essex won first place in the light car class and second place against the entire field in competition with some of the most costly cars built in the "Rim- of-the-World" hill climb at San Bernardino, California. The Essex was driven by Arthur Fuller of Los Angeles, and its show- ing is regarded as unusually remark- able when it is considered that the contest was finished with one of the front wheels near collapse as a result of a skid into the mountain- side. "Tt was the most difficult hill climb ever held in California," said Mr. Fuller. "There were no success-| ful rival o fthe Essex in its class. Even in the heavy car class it was; only a car costing almost twice as "much and having over twice the pis-| ton displacement that made any' better time. ) "The Essex is a car that can climb the steepest and longest grades with- out overheating. That had much to do with our victory. A cool motor also means freedom from lubricating troubles."

W. Otto, manager | of the Evanston "Exide" Service | station. "Of course, 'Exide' batteries helped Uncle Sam," said Mr. Otto;! "they were in the war from the very | beginning, but the government thought it best that we say nothing and saw wood. However, now that the fighting's over, it won't do any harm to reminisce a bit. "A batleship on a cruise, for ins- tance, must be absolutely self-de- pendent; it's got to be equipped to] successfully meet one hundred per-| cent of the emergencies that may arise. Every United States vessel of war is provided, in addition to its regular system of lighting, with an | auxiliary or reserve from which it can draw current for emergency lights in case of nevessity, and the 'Ironclad-Exide' or 'Exide' batteries were used to supply this reserve. In the huge supertype of battleship, the latest war monster built by the United States, provision for auxiliary power for steering is supplied by an electrically operated equipment that will enable the tremendous bulk of these great ship to respond to the rudder, even should the entire en- gine room be out of commission. 'Ironclad-Exide' batteries were used | "In electric locomotive work, a war service of great importance, the 'Exide' and 'Ironclad-Exide' batteries were used. And the part played by the 'Exide' battery in airplane and seaplane service would seem to have been second in importance only to that of the motor itself. The 'Exide' battery was also used for field tele- phone service and for telephone com- munication in the trenches and many of the United States submarines called into important war service in; English waters were equipped with; 'Exide' or 'Ironclad-Exide' batteries.

New Trier Sport Notes GIANTS AND TIGERS WIN IN TIGHT LEAGUE RACE The Giants defeated the White Sox 7 to 3 in a five inning game yesterday while the Tigers took a fall out of the Cubs by clouting the pill for a 14 to 0 victory. Roth pitch- ed a one hit game for the Tigers, Ro- binson being the only man to connect with his delivery. One noticeable nad very lamentable fact connected with these Intra- Mural games is that no girls ever come to see their heroes perform on the diamond. If they came out in as great a body as they do when the rush to the mess room there would be fewer errors as the boys would all play their best brand of ball to please the fair ones. Swimming Pool Popular As the warm weather comes slow- ly but surely to this section of the country the swimming pool is being inhabited more regularly by the boys. They are beginning to believe in the phrase "Come on in, thewater's fine." Field Day Near The cadets are all excited over the coming of the big field day to be held on Saturday, May 24. They are drilling at every possible chance and all geel confident of victory when| the big time comes.

SALVATION ARMY TO TURN SALOONS INTO CLUBS FOR BACHELORS The ancient, if not honorable, in- stitution--the corner saloon, with its mahogany bar and brass rail--will not be relegated to desuetude on July 1, but will be taken over by the Sal- vation Army and run as an innocu- ous club for bachelors. This announcement is made by Commander Evangeline Booth. The movement to bring as many of the barrooms as possible under the flag of the Salvation Army, it is announc- ed, will extend from ocean to ocean and from Canada to Mexico. There will be a white-jacketed bar- keep, 4s now, and the counter across from the mahogany will become a self-service restaurant instead of a "free lunch" counter. Only soft] drinks will be dispensed. The official | motto under which the "alcoholless" | bar will be run is: "Married men to their homes and families on time--bachelors welcome to stick indefinitely." Commander Booth in an interview said : "The saloon, as it exists today, is not wholly bad. I say this deliber- ately, although I believe strong drink is a mocker and that the excessive use of alcohol destroys both body and soul. Probably half the men who go to saloons are led by a craving for companionship. "The Salvation Army has, within and the bartender back of them. Al- though soft drinks are served in- stead of hard ones, this barroom of the new era glows with good cheer. There are many bartenders of genial rersonality and good character wke could just as well remain behind the soft drink bar as not." The first step of the Salvation Army will be to acquire, in New York, the leases of saloons which have been closed at much-frequented PAINTS Of all kinds in large and small cans WALL PAPERS, PAINTING & DECORATING Floor Finishing a Specialty RASMESEN'S PAINT STORE FREE PAINT INFORMATION FREE street corners and to convert them to The fixtures will be kept, and in many cases, employes retain- new uses. ed.
