12 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1919 New Trier High Notes J OAK PARK HIGH WALLOPS NEW TRIER BOYS 47-0 The Big Black team suffered defeat again Saturday at Oak Park. They were outplayed to the tune of 47 to 0. The first quarter saw no scores on either side although the north shore boys carried the ball to the two yard line where their opponents held them. Farly in the quarter Kuelzow twisted his bad knee and was forced to quit the game. In the second quarter Ted Rich- ards broke his wrist and was taken out. His absence lessened the strength of the team considerably and it didn't take long for Oak Park to notice the weakness. Hostilities then began and when the smoke of the first half blew over the score was 20 to 0. In the second half things went worse. A weak spot in the right side of the New Trier line enabled Oak Park to make their downs again and again. Several long runs were made by the Oak Parkers which usually re- sulted in touchdowns. Rand, Wright, Weld and Wienecke were the principals in the New Trier defense. Clore probably will not appear in the game against La Grange Satur- day afternoon as he is suffering with a bruised shoulder. Tt is thought a muscle is dislocated. Richards will not be able to play again during the present season owing to the broken wrist he received in the Oak Park game last Saturday. The loss of both players will be keenly felt. The soccer game with University High was played yesterday instead of Saturday morning. The game was played too late for the returns to appear in this paper. They will ap- pear next week. The freshmen, juniors and soph- omores elected their officers for the present school year, last week. The Dramatic club opened its sea- tion of three short plays in a port- son Friday evening with a presenta- manteau .setting. The actors and scene shifters alike figured in the success of the evening. The Crystals will oppose the Speedboys Sunday while the North Ends of Chicago will battle the big fellows. ACCUSE JUSTICE BIESSWANGER OF ACCEPTING BRIBE OF $10 Justice of the Peace Fred Biess- wanger of Niles Center and Mojton Grove has achieved publicity be- canse: Hc was father of triplets; he was jailea tor operating an a!leged con- fidence game; he resigned his bench wkh:le under investigation for illegal manipulation of fines: he conducted 2 matrimonial bureau. Now the conduct of the justice is to be investigated because he ac- cepted $10 from an autoist, arrested for speeding, the autoist believing that the $10 amounted to settlement of his case. . Max Ubel, 1649 North Crawford avenue, Chicago, alleges he paid Justice Biesswanger $10 under the promise that no further action would develop. But Justice A. S. McKenna of Kenilworth was to have heard the case and when Mr. Ubel did not ap- pear a warrant was issued for him. The defendant came Saturday and told his story. Judge McKenna prom- ised to present the case to the Cook County 'highway board. : Justice Biesswanger later explain- ed he accepted the $10 as attorney's fee. PHYSICIAN GREETED BY OVER POLITE "STICK-UPS" Chicago Doctor Stopped in Kenil- worth By Holdup Pair Calling Selves "White Men" The holdup season in Kenilworth opened Monday night when Dr. Jerome J. Weil, 3139 Southport ave- nue, Chicago, was stopped by two young men at Woodstock avenue and Richmond road while on his way to attend H. Thorpe Kessler, 338 Wood- stock avenue, shortly after 7 o'clock. "Pardon me." said one of the men, producing a revolver. "Let me hold vour grip while you hold up your hands." ] : ; The doctor handed his grip to the gunman and extended his arms sky- ward. while the other man relieved him of $14. 4 "Thank you," said the party with the revolver. "Here's your grip. Hope we haven't detained you too long." : "No. said Dr. Weil, "but you might have left me car fare at least." "Where do vou live?' 'asked the r-~» with the money. "Chicago." ; "Well, we'll show yon we're white men. Here's a dollar. We'll only keep thirteen." i Dr. Weil accepted the dollar with thanks. MAGNETO IGNITION OPTIONAL TO ALL CAR OWNERS Inside information leaked out re- { cently that "optional ignition" will be the strong talking point at the New York Motor show in January, and many dealérs are now demand- ing 'that it be provided for on the advance orders they have already placed with the manufacturers. Many a purchaser of a 1920 car will undoubtedly request the magneto as optional equipment. It is well to know that aside from the switch wire, and the one cable leading from the magneto to each plug, a high-tension magneto has no external wiring. The complications, and the possi- bilities of trouble, resulting from the numerous connecting wires used with where a magneto is employed. Thus vot only is the possibility of trouble reduced to a minimum but, in the event of any irregularity in the run- ning of the engine, the diagnosis is simpler. GRIGGS TO GIVE LECTURE SERIES ON MAETERLINCK Dr. Edward Howard Griggs will deliver three lectures on Maeter- linck ,the poet and mystic, in Annie May Swift hall, Northwéstern Uni- versity campus, on successive Satur- day evenings, beginning November 15. Mr. Griggs, who has spoken on the north shore before, needs no in- troduction to many citizens. To study Maeterlinck is said to be to com- mune with one of the most open, battery systems, are entirely absent, | candid, variously gifted and generous of minds, reflecting the problems of truly clever saves as the modern world. BURNING MONEY By Walt Mason Life is gay and blithe and sunny, since the peace dove Hit the breeze; everyone is burning money just as though it grew on trees. | [ insist on | brine, who obeyed ably as he spends. It is patent to the knowing, | in expansive times like these, that the kopecks won't be growing al- ways on the shrubs and trees. There will come a day of trouble when this boom is left behind, and the kopeck | and the rouble will be mighty hard to find; happy then the lads whose wages have been safely placed in the seers and thrift and saving, but there's none | sages, when the saving graft was to heed my word; johnnies say that I am raving, and throw money to the birds. Men are drawing prince- ly wages, and their breasts are filled with mirth, and they jeer foreboding sages who predict a day of dearth; but that day will come as surely as tomorrow's sun will rise; things will] then be going poorly with the giddy | spendthrift guys. Things won't boom ; along forever as they're booing fine. And how sick will be the mor- tals who like spendthrifts now be- have, who reply with jeers and chort- les when we call on them to save. MOVIES AT SCHOOL A third of a series of motion pictures will be shown at the St. Jo- seph's School hall Saturday evening | at 8 o'clock. now, my friends; and the man who's GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY Kx 4d SEI 3.

Every business man knows that Good-will toward a company is that company's tower of strength. We want our customers to know that we look upon their good-will in that light. NOW THAT MANY OF. OUR YOUNG MEN ARE HOME from the war and back . on the job, we have reorganized our busi- ness department on a basis of good-will building. It is our purpose through this department to call on each of our custom- ers at their homes. In this way we want to inquire if there is anything we can do to improve the service in each home. PLEASE GIVE OUR REPRESENTATIVE A FEW MINUTES of your time when he calls. You will find it well worth while. He will ask you if you have any complaints. He will inspect your gas range, water heater, gas iron, and other appliances. He will make any simple ac ustment that may be needed to insure best service from your appliances. If you are wastirg gas he will show you how to save it. If repairs are needed he will, on your request, see that they are taken care of at the cost to us. IF YOU ARE NOT USING THE MOST ECONOMICAL and efficient appliances the new business man will tell you anything you want to know about the greater con- venience and comfort of more modern types. He will not try to sell you something you don't need. His job is first, to invite your good-will toward the company by making it easy for you to get the gas serv- ice you want. IN SELECTING APPLIANCES sold at our offices we have one point in mind above all else,--~YOUR GOOD WILL. We will not knowingly sell appliances that make trouble for the consumer. Such appliances cost us money as long as they remain in use, because it is expensive for the com- pany to take care of complaints coming from them. We do not say that the ap- pliances sold by us are the only good ones of their type. But they are the BEST. We know. We have all kinds on cur lines. Our records show which appliances give the least trouble and the most satisfaction. North Shore Gas Company OFFICES: Waukegan, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Winnetka, Libertyville
