SALVATION ARMY T0 - DEDICATE "HOSTEL" Plan Special Service at Waukegan For Men at Great Lakes Naval Training Station "Waukegan--Service men have not been forgotten by the Salvation Army now that the war is over. The same character of activities that brought the organization so power- fully and favorably to the front while hostilities were on continues = at permanent military and naval posts. Some time in September there will be dedicated in Waukegan a Sal- _ vation Army institution guaranteed - Sanitary §, to serve indirectly every county in Illinois. It is a new hostel for active and former service men, specially de- signed to give them many comforts and much home atmosphere. The building which will supplant the hostel that now stands at 222 Washington street is already up, and the interior finishers are busy. It has been planned to give adequate service especially to the boys of the Great Lakes naval training station ere, who come from every county in the state, as well as from various other states. h Captain and Mrs. R. H. Rhoda, who have charge of the present hostel, and who served with the A. E. F. in France, know the service man well, and they agree that it is especially important to look well to the happi- ness of the soldier or sailor during the recruit period. It is then that he ordinarily suffers most keenly from homesickness and a general weaken- ing of the spirit. ; : n the new hostel 'there will be 84 private rooms with hot and cold running water, steam heat, clothes closets, reading lights and modern furniture; dormitories with accomodations for 250; recreation' room, with piano, victrola, magazine 'racks, games and bowling alley; lunch counter and cafeteria; sun par- lor and winter tea room; reception room, 30 by 60 feet; library, writing room and music room; a wing where 'rooms will be set apart for visiting friends and relatives of service men. Kenilworth Legion In Tie For First Place With Score of 21 in Field With Six Competitors Sunday Swimmers representing Kenilworth Post tied for winner in the first an- nual American Legion aquatic meet at the Chicago Yacht club Sunday afternoon, with the Hyde Park vets giving them an even .fight. The Hawaiian swimmers from Great Lakes were prominent in the two open events, Kaehu taking the "190- yard swim and his teammate, Kahele. winning the 440 race. A crowd of about 2,000 witnessed the events, which included canoe races and tilting in addition to the swims. The Kenilworth paddlers tied the South Siders, making a clean sweep in the fancy diving. The work of F. Allen of the North Shore team helped materially, as Allen took first in the breast stroke and fancy diving and third in the 100-yard swim. Crawford of Hyde Park was close behind him for individual honors, with a first in the 100 and second in the 50. In the canoe events, Packer of Hyde Park, who took the one-man race, the class B sailing and, with Dorcey, tok the canoe tilting and finished third in the two-man race. Dixen of the Evanston Post won the 880 with a 50-yard length over Miller of the I. A.'C.. and Allen won the breast stroke by fifteen feet from Cary of Oak Park. . The Great Lakes swimmers made a clean sweep in' the 440 open, Kaehle having an easy time in beating his teammate, Kaehu. who had previous- ly been the winner of the 100-yard open. 4 \ "WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND"--ONE MIGHT SAY Wilmette kiddies are most awfully {is an all-the-year-round car Men Win Big Swim L various | a Re SORE WINNETKA EEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JU RR ete ---- FORD SEDAN APPEALS TO ALL CLASSES AND HAS MANY ADVANTAGES (By R. D. Cunningham) We have watched with consider- able interest the increasing popular- ity of the "Sedan" car. The open car will of course al- ways have its vogue and we never expect to see it done away with, but the increasing frequency with which one meets the neat, compact and comfortable little Ford sedan not only on our city streets but in the smaller places and even in purely rural districts, denotes that there are substantial and universal reasons for its adoption. As a result of our investigation we have come to the conclusion that there are several arguments in its favor and while there might appear logical preferences for a closed car in special cases, the general run of purchasers dre just as logical in their reasons. Doctors We can readily realize, for in- stance, that a doctor would find the closed car the most practical one for his use especially in inclement weather, when it is desirable that he should be able to go in at once to his patient without first ridding him- self of the effects of rain or snow. In cold weather his hands are warm and on windy days he will not be powdered with dust. : Lawyers "We find also that lawyers are be- coming more numerous as buyers of the sedan, practically for the samc reasons that the doctor has. These are, however, a more or less limited few and their preference for a car of a closed type is readily understood and appreciated. What we are spec- ially interested in are the reasons actuating the general run of Ford owners in deciding their selection. The Fair Sex Women with their perishable mil- inery, their elaborate coiffeurs also prefer the closed car, especially when making social calls. It has also many advantages for them when shopping particularly since the jntroduction of the cash and carty system. It is a handy machine for taking the chil- dren to or bringing them back from school in inclement weather, It is invaluable for the matinee habit and in every: sense of the word. i Real Estate Dealers The sedan is especially adapted to the requirements of the real estate dealer, particularly it is almost a ne- cessity for one handling subdivisions or suburban lots. Formerly, when the weather was in the least incle- ment, it was absolutely impossible to | get a prospective customer to go out | Z and see what he his sedan is an insurance against rainy and nasty days and he can take both Mr. and Mrs. Purchaser, and, in the friendly proximity of his car, can be enthusiastically boosting his proposition. Owners of Higher Priced Cars There is, however one particular class of customers to which we want to draw attention--that is the pur- chase and use of the Ford sedan by the wealthier class. the sedan shles we were surprised to find that men who owned one or more of the higher priced cars had bought a Ford sedan. It is used by them as an auxiliary car for theaters and on occasions when they' do not need a big limousine or touring car; its neat, appearance and economy of operation all have their appeal to these people. FEDERAL INSURANCE (CONDITIONS NAMED Announce Many Ex-service Men May Reinstate War Insurance Up to January 1, 1921 New conditions governing the rein- statement of war risk insurance, lib- eral in their application, and of such extent as to affect the greater num-| ber of north shore ex-service men, have been recently issued by the treasury department. According to the new ruling the op-{ portunity is offered for a very large] class of service men to reinstate any time up to January 1, 1921, without medical examination by simply pay- ing two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance they wish to re- instate and making their own state- ment of health with their application. The conditions are substantially as follows : : 1. In all cases the applicant must tender at least two monthly premi- ums 6n the amount of insurance to be reinstated with his application. 2. The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of discharge or resignation, or at the expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so state in his appli- cation. This allows many to rein- state up to as late a date as January 1, 1921, without medical examination. In regard to the reinstatement of insurance lapsed or canceled on or after July 1, 1920, the regulations pro- vide that such action may be taken. (a) Within three calendar months, including the calendar month for which the unpaid premium was due, provided that the applicant is in good health and so states in his written application. 7» the Kiddie S 1 You do not have to worry about the quality of the Milk you receive from us. mad this week over the fact that the mean old village trustees went and passed a curfew law right over their heads and without any warning.
