-- et to this the flutter of evening gowns, WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1919 R--. Re r---- Gov. Lowden, Military and Naval T.eaders Boxholders for Exmoor Welcome-Home Ball Exmoor Country club will welcome back on Saturday evening, July 19, nearly twenty-five per cent of its members, all of whom have been in some branch of the service. The oc- casion is a Welcome-Home Military ball, and it is expected that disting- uished guests from both the army and navy, Exmoor members, and a host of north shore friends will make it one of the memorable events of the summer. Exmoor is sparing noth- ing. The big white clubhouse that lies so close to the beautiful Skokie val- ley in Highland Park is ideal for a| summer fete. Its superb trees and | shrubbery and rolling turf are won- derfully inviting. And its hospitality is famous. A great profusion of flowers and lights and music--both a stringed and jass orchestra--with dining, dancing and songs, will fill the evening with a whirl of attract- ive life. Open New Dancing Pavilion A dinner at the club for a limited three hundred will precede the ball. Following, Exmoor's new outdoor dancing pavilion, more complete than any ever designed for a country club, will be inaugurated. Of cement, eighty feet by ninety with a parfect- ed wax-finished floor, and terraced all around with platforms and an ornamental balastrade, it is a dream. The dancers will come under the light of 'a series of floral urns set with sparkling colored bulbs, reinforced by a revolving rainbow spotlight. Add and the dash of our American uni- forms, for many of the men will wear them, besides thosz of the long list of distinguished guests from both army and navy. Distinguished Boxholders Boxes for the ball have sold rapid- ly. There will be seventy-five of them, including the Presidential box for twenty-five guests. President and Mrs. Eckhart will entertain, among others, Governor Lowden and Mrs. Lowden, Rear Admiral Bassett and Mrs. Bassett, Mrs. Victor Blue and Mrs. C. E. Terry, house guests of Ad- miral and Mrs. Bassett, Major Gen- eral Wood and Mrs. Wood, Colonel Abel Davis and Colonel Henry J. Reilly. Miss Edna Darsh, soprano from the Ravinia Park opera, will open the festivities with The Star Spangled Banner. She is to sing several times. Hold Honor Roll-Call The feature of the evening will be the formal recognition of Fxmoor's services in the war jin the form of an = Phe club is to hang in its reception room a bronze tablet, with sculptural relief, bearind' thie | inscription, "In honor of the mem-| bers of Exmoor and their sons who | gave their services to our country in| the great war!"

Sherland of the General Motors | company of Illinois last week an- nounced that he had been able to persuade the Dorris factory there to give him a larger allotment of cars for the Chicago territory. The first of the new assignment of | cars will begin coming in the latter part of this week. A sufficient num- ber of cars to fill present orders and | to take care of a limited amount of | new orders, have been assigned the | General Motors. | "The Dorris factory is night and day to supply the demand | in the Chicago territory as well as in the rest of the country," Mr. Sher- | i land reported. : | "Our allotment of «cars was more | than doubled," he said, "but at that | @ we won't have nearly enough. In just | §8 a few days we sold nine Dorris cars. | "The Dorris people are soon going | i to turn out a closed car which is cer- | tainly a fine piece of work." Frank Beck of the General Motors | emphasizes the fact that the Dorris | ple strictly adhere to their motto, | ~ "Built up to a standard, and not down to a price." | "For fourteen years," he said, "the | Dorris people have been building | motor cars on correct mechanical; principles. This has been proved by | the fact that other makers have been | brought around to copying their] valve-in-head motor, their unit' pow- | er plant and their multiple disc | t8 clutch. | 3 "Aside from being ideal mechan- ically, the Dorris automobile is as | normal individual to be a success and | to gain a competency in life, if he | is willing to pay the price of its pro-| gress in economy, saving and thrift. | The latest estimate of the total | cost of the war is now placed at] $260,000,000,000 dollars.

A military supper served to the en- tire assemblage will close the even- ing. Two years ago, in 1917, Exmoor was the scene of a military ball which became famous. But a multitude of elaborate preparations, together with the great joy of welcoming dear friends back again, will make this coming Welcome Home Military ball the happiest event in Exmoor's hist- ory.

Mr. Millard says he is ready to swear to this statement or bet money | on it or do any other needful thing to show that it is true. He bought the car five weeks ago | from H. A. Schuler and P. A. Hoff- | meyer of the General Motors com- pany, and since then has driven it 4600 miles. He kept tab on the amount of gasoline he used in a trip to the east and return, and in the two weeks consumed he averaged better than twenty-two miles to the gallon. | He makes a practice of changing oil in the car at the end of every 1000 oil in between changes. The car requires six quarts | of oil at each of these changes. | In an official test with five gallons ttl agni benzol, Mr. Millard | claims a showing of better than thir- | ty-eight miles to the gallon. Then he! emptied out the tank and put in just | ons gallon of the new motor fuel. | This took his Stephens thirty-seven and eight-tenths miles. Mr. Schuler of the General Motors company says that while this is the best showing that has come to his | attention, there have been many | other remarkable instances of Ste- phens oil and gas economy. ofthe Evidence in the libel suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago Tribune disclosed that in 1916 John D. Rocke- feller owned 244,354 shares of Stand- | ard Oil of New Jersey. At present | quotations these shares are worth | about $750 each. During the war Europe lost 18,400,- | 000 head of cattle, 39,500,000 hogs and 8,600,000 sheep. Established in 1916 INVESTIGATE!
