Boal's Recent Gift Final disposition of the uses of the ambulance presented some time ago to the Boy Scouts and Village police department of the village has been made and letters sent to all the phy- sicians in the community acquaint- ing them with the new plans. The ambulance, which was the gift of Mrs. Charles P. Boal of Chicago, has finally located a "home" at the Winnetka garage and Auto Livery, where a driver is on duty to answer all calls. In a letter to the local physicians, the purposes to which the ambulance service will be applied are named as follows: 1. Police emergency cases. 2. Hospital cases for local phy- sicians when the patients can not af- ford to engage the regular hospital ambulance. 3. Boy Scout activities. A committee of the village council, in 'considering the best methods of supporting the operations of the am- bulance, decided that the following plan was most desirable: 1. Payment made by Community House for use in connection with Boy Scout work. 2. The Village of Winnetka will bear the expense when ambulance is used in police emergency cases. 3. Private individuals will be charged a nominal sum wherever the expense can be afforded. 4. The Winnetka Relief and Aid society will bear the expense of oper- ation where private individuals are unable to afford it. This plan of sharing the expense of operation was recommended by the Community nurse. An estimated cost of operation of the ambulance indicates that the charge for its use should be ap- proximately $3 per hour. In all cases where the patients are unable to defray the expense of the ambulance, the procedure will depend upon the recommendation of the Cominunity nurse. The letter to the physicians stated that it was desir- able to hold down the number of charity cases to a minimum. The letter also stated that the ambulance was ready for immediate service and could be secured by telephoning Winnetka 74. KENILWORTH GETS AN EARLY START IN SPEEDERS DRIVE "The early bird catches the worm" is the one maxim that Motorcycle policeman Clemant Ley of Kenil- worth has treasured as his favorite slogan. And within the last few days he has twice successfully applied it-- the first time being last week when he surprised his friends in the town- ship with the announcement of his marriage to Mrs. Gertrude Wolfe, 1601 Elmwood avenue, following an interesting romance. The second time it was instrument- al in furnishing officer Ley with an exceptionally good start in the 1920 chase of speeders.

First was Jack Robbins, son of Frank Rob- bins, 730 Elmwood avenue, Wlimette. charged with 37 miles an hour on Sheridan road. Then came Robert Wahiete of Highland Park, spinning merrily along at about 33 miles an hour. The third speeder was Harold Stone of Winnetka. Mr. Stone, after a six block chase, explained that the reason he was bowling along at 45 miles per was because of being late at his Chicago office. All the cases were heard yesterday in the court of Justice of the Peace Arthur S. McKenna of Kenilworth. ENEWAL OF Threaded Rubber Insulation never needs" to be given a thought. But that of ordinary Insulation does, at least once before the battery is worn out. Threaded Rubber gives far better pro- tection to plates and is the only kind that can be depended on to last as long as the battery. It can be had only in the Still Better Willard.
