The Fatherless Children of France, an American organization co-operat- ing with a similar one in Paris of which Marshal Joffre is the head, re- 'ports that of the children receiving American aid to the extent of 10 cents a day under its plan of secur- ing American godmothers for the little French war waifs, its records show an average of 700 children's deaths per month since the armistice. {lists of the organization as For The help. of the American godmothers came tog late to save these under- nourished nerve-shocked little ones. Mrs. Walter S. Brewster of Chica- go, vice-chairman of the Fatherless Children of France, has been appoint- ed chairman of a campaign to secure American aid for the 60,000 little war orphans whose names were on the "unadopt- ed" before the signing of the armis- tice. Ten cents will care for a child for an entire day; $3 for a month; while for $36.50 a year the donor may select a child from: the lists at the organization's headquarters and be placed in corrspendence with it. To adopt a child or make a donation write for information to Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, Room 634, 410 South Michigan avenue, Chicago.

General Motors | company ..of Illinois, located at Ev anston, set forth the following facts relative to the superiority of the Stephens Salient Six perfected over- head-valve engine: "The Stephens Salient Six perfect- ed overhead-valve engine is the re- sult of a combination of ideas--those of the Stephens engineering depart- ment in collaboration with the ideas of expert consulting engineers. The best features of thr best automobile engines have been adopted with such added improvements in design and construction as are necessary to pro- duce an engine with a scientifically correct gas handling system. * The superiority of overhead-valves is unquestioned when high power in ratio to engine size is concerned. The Salient Six engine embodies this per- fect design, yet more perfected by Stephens engineers, with a superior gas handling system that burns ail the gasoline. The result.s an engine of wonderful power, speed, idling ability, acceleration and economy. Piece by piece the Stephens engine represents the most advanced achievements in gasoline engine de- sign. The result is noticeable in the location of the intake and exhaust manifolds. The intake is within the cylinder head and surrounded by heat, while the exhaust is designed so that the burned gases from -the two center cylinders create a "hot spot" opposite the intake manifold. This is responsible for the engine's ability to handle extremely low grade fuel. The valves are extra large, one-half the size of the cylinder bore, thus insuring a full charge of gas and complete clean-out of burned gases, which is necessary for maxi- mum power development. Bearings are all extra large and bronze-back babbitt lined. Lubrica- tion is full force feed with the correct amount of oil driven to the bearings at all engine speeds. C. H. BRIGGS OPENS NEWEST AUTO AGENCY C. H. Briggs, until this week sales manager for R. D. Cunningham's Ford agency, has started in the auto- mobile business for himslef,- He is opening up an automobile salesroom in the corner store room of the Gables building at Sherman suid almost every kind of a car made. His connection with the Cunningham agency has made him especially well known to the automobilists of the north shore. In introducing the Columbia Six to the north shore public, Briggs de- clares that it is made up of absolutely the best units of the market today. He gives most prominent mention of the Continental Red Seal six cylinder motor. The Columbia Six has been on the market for three years, but has never before been sold on the north shore. The Columbia Six is madz in a five passenger touring car, a four pass- enger sport model, a cabriolet and a sedan.

CLAIM CLERKS WILL ATTEMPT TO BREAK WILMETTE WINNING STREAK With five straight victories to their credit Wilmette will battle the strong team from the Chicago and North- western railroad Sunday afternoon at the local diamond at Lake avenue, one block west of Ridge avenue. The Chicago team, composed of clerks from the freight claim depart- ment has a recognized strong nine and no doubt Wilmette will have to exert itself to win again.
