SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1920 Too Busy To Report No physician should be "too busy" to report to the health department cases of influenza which come to his knowledge. Any physician who re- fuses his co-operation with the health commissioner for this reason should be looked upon with considerable suspicion by those whose cases he fails to report. The experience of last year's epi- demic of influenza was certainly tragic enough to encourage the exercise of every precaution against its repetition. The heavy toll should serve as an incentive for the strict- est control of the cases that have developed within the last two weeks. Appreciation of the heavy burden of work that the medical profession must carry in a period of epidemic of any sort is not incompatible with the severest condemnation of those who fail to help the health depart- ment to control the spread of dis- ease. It is no time for the exercise of individual opinion and judgment. Consideration of the efficient work- ing of the department of health should be first in the minds of the whole community. Physicians are setting a bad example by declining to observe the orders of the health com- missioner, an example which is only too readily followed by individuals whose social consciences are in poor working order. Watch The Convention The Constitutional Convention is now in regular session, beginning work upon the new constitution which shall serve as the basic law of Illinois for another generation, longer if the men who are composing it are possessed of the vision that they ought to possess and the people of the state are appreciative of the conditions which such a code must meet. The men who compose the Consti- tutional Convention have been chosen by the people of their district to represent them in this business of the creation of the new law. That they do actually represent the districts from which they come should be the responsibility of the people who sent them there. It will not do to dismiss the matter of the constitution with placing the re- sponsibility upon the heads of the delegates. What they do in the dis- charge of this responsibility must be a matter of concern to every man and woman in the state. When the labors of the convention have been completed the work of the constitution will come before the electorate of the state for ratifica- tion. It is to the interests of all concerned that the finished product should be as nearly perfect as it is possible for it to be, in order that the time and the money which the convention will consume may not have been spent in vain. Public at- tention and the expression of public opinion on the work of the conyen- tion as it goes on will help to keep before the minds of the delegates the fact that they are responsible to the people who elected them, that their interests must be considered and pro- tected, that their work must be such Ci ; as will be accepted when the referen- dum is held. Intelligent attention on the part of the public ought to be sought by the delegates. It will help them to an understanding of the public mind and guide them in their work in the formulation of the constitution. But this public attention to be effective for good must be above sectionalism, above party political considerations, above selfish motives of every sort. It is a large order of good citizen- ship that is demanded of the Illinois public at this time, as well as of the delegates to the convention. But it is not impossible for the conditions to be met.

Who Could the Strong, Lincoln's LOCAL YOUTH PRODUCES TWO-REEL MOVIE FILM Sidney Spiegel, Jr., 430 Sheridan road, is the producer of a two-reel movie of good prospects. The title at present, which will probably be changed, is, "The Kiss by Mistake" but the story itself is even more interesting than the name. It deals with a young fellow sum- moned to the aid of a girl in distress. He goes to see her, is given a mys- terious package and told to call again soon. He makes a mistake by entering the wrong house on the sec- ond trip. Matters are mixed up sud- denly by a batch of spies who seek the valuable, yet mysterious papers. The picture concludes with the hero holding the trump card after a sensational chase on the water to the heroine's yacht. The hero in the case is Carlyle Blackwell, and the young woman he rescues is popularly known as Evelyn Greeley. The scenes, especially the closing ones of the case, are inter- esting and well staged. The film was made from a number of World releases after Spiegel had | written the story and gained the consent to use the films for his pur- pose. REDS TAKE LEAGUE HONORS IN SUNDAY AFTERNOON GAME The Reds, piloted by Flossie Voltz and Goody, won the first league pen- nant at Community House Sunday in a play-off game with the White Sox, the final count being 13-3. Flossie pitched wonderful ball holding the losers to several bingles and nary a run for the first eight innings. Meanwhile his team-mates were slamming the ball to all corners of the "lot" giving him a comfortable lead to pitch with. The game was played as a result of a tie for first place between the Reds, Giants and Pale Hose. The Giants were .eliminated last 'week by the Sox. BACK AT WORK Fred Eckart, of the J. F. Eckart Hardware company, returned to his duties this week following several days' illness with the influenza. NORTH SHORE AUTO SALON FEBRUARY 2-7 First North Shore Automobile Salon at North Shore Hotel to Display Variety of Exclusive Pass- enger Models EXHIBIT IN BALL ROOM Leading Manufacturers of Highest Class Motor Cars to have Ex- hibits Throughout Week The ball room of the North Shore hotel will be the scene of the north shore's first automobile salon. The exhibition, which is expected to feature some of the finest cars in America will open on February 2 and continue until the night of Feb- ruary 7. There will be several north shore cars entered in the show, as well as a number with Distributors in Chi- cago. Exclusive Territcry Manufacturers of fine cars have selected the north shore as the place to give an intimate and exclusive showing of their product, because of the fact that this vicinity is far above the average in number of cars own- ed here. The latest records show that there are approximately 5500 automobiles on the north shore, and that there are probably more cars of the so- called exclusive and high priced class than is the case in any other neigh- borhood of like population in the country. ' Because of the size of the hotel ball room, the number of cars per- mitted to be exhibited is limited. Among those which have been an- nounced as entered are: Cadillac, Packard, Dorris, Cole, Roamer, Re- vere, Nelson, Chandler, American and Moon. North Shore Exhibitors The Starnes, Clayton Motor com- pany and Metz and Hart will be among the north shore exhibitors. It is expected that everybody on the north shore who is interested in automobiles, whether owners or pros- pective owners or not, will visit this exhibition on one day or another. In order to give a further touch of gaiety to the occasion and to ex- press the cordiality of the relation- ship between the automobile dealers and the public, there will be dancing Monday and Friday nights in the fountain room. One of the best gaged for the week. Extra!
