1 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 MACHINE SHOP CRUISES A CTY Dodge Roadster Carries Machine Shop A Boston machinery salesman, look- ing for something new in the line of high-power salesmanship, has struck on the novel idea of mounting a com- plete machine shop attachment on the rear of a Dodge Brothers roadster. With it he goes on his daily round of calls, and the peculiar device is be- coming a familiar sight in all the highways. The rear of the Dodge Brothers | roadster carries, among other appara-| tus, a grinding machine, which can be used in shops and garages for grind- ing pistons, valves, wrist pins, or for any kind of general machine work. Forty feet of wire is always carried, which may be plugged into an electire socket, so that immediate operation is possible almost everywhere. Lee H. Campbell, the owner, is using the machine shop on wheels as an in- genious method of boosting his sales. He is now establishing dealers to buy the complete outfit, and they in turn will canvass the shops and garages. Mr. Campbell finds his Dodge Broth- ers roadster highly satisfactory in his gelling and demonstrating work. In many other lines of business as well, ingenious devices for selling and demonstrating various products have been attached to Dodge Brothers cars--which were chosen as a reliable an convenient means of transporta- tion. A PROCLAMATION A proclamation making Tuesday, May 30, a state holiday was issued by the Governor of Illinois this week. The proclamation reads as follows: STATE OF ILLINOIS Executive Department By the Governor of Illinois A PROCLAMATION To the People of Illinois, Greeting: It is our great privilege, at an ap- pointed time each year, to join in a national tribute of gratitude and af- fection to our soldier and sailor dead. The blue-clad heroes of the Civil War, soldiers and sailors of the War with Spain, and men of the great armies of the American Expeditionary Force lie in honored graves, at home and abroad. They gave their services and their lives for a united country, for humanity, for civilization. We mourn the valiant dead and deplore the great crises in our national life which required of them."the last full measure of devotion;" but we have a great national pride in their bravery and patriotism which have preserved to us, intact, the heritage of free in- stitutions handed down by our fathers to be held as a sacred trust for our children and their children. Their gallant deeds, on land and sea, have ever maintained unsullied the honor of our great American Nation. Their hands have borne aloft, and raised high in the heavens, our starry banner of freedom as a symbol of courage, purity, and justice, and as a promise of liberty to the oppressed peoples of the earth. Whereas, the laws of Illinois pro- vide for the observance of the thir- tieth day of May as a holiday: Now, Therefore, I, Len Small, Gov- ernor of Illinois, do hereby appoint and designate Tuesday, the thirtieth day of May, 1922, to be celebrated throughout the State as Memorial Day, and I ask the cooperation of the peo- ple of Illinois with the Grand Army of the Republic, the United Spanish War Veterans, the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and their allied organizations in an ap- propriate observance of the day by garlanding with flowers and decorating with flags the graves of soldiers and sailors; and I further ask that in all communities there be held public memorial services and patriotic ex- ercises in honor of our heroic dead. In Witness Whereof, I have here- unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Illinois to be affixed. Done at the city of Waukegan, this eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two and of the State of Illinois, the one hundred and third. LEN SMALL. By the Governor: Louis L. Emmerson, Secretary of State. Art and Free Will | Determinism robs art of its funda- mental right to exist--of its autono- mous expression. It sweeps the indi- vidual into the crowd and makes the crowd subservient to inflexible forces: it overlooks man's consciousness of his place in the universe; forgets his temperamental preferences and re- duces him to a mechanism through which blind life operates as best it can to no conclusion--it takes no heed of the telology which gives art its glorious significance, its imperishable beauty.-- Thomas Jewell Craven in "The Dial." la "Mystery Brick" of Hydrox-Guernsey Is 2 |ice cream to be sold at the store on Good Guesser : | Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and Here 's Offer of 28, will be provided Free Ice Cream |for a period of oue year. | The contest, blanks for which are | available at the store, positively closes Good guessers among Wilmette folk Saturday, May 20. : have an opportunity to display their | | peculiar talents this week in a unique | Mr. and contest in progress at Adams phary | 4 the corner of Willow and Locust macy. | road The enterprise is explained as gl prod, contest in which those who guess cor- | rectly the three flavors comprised in Mrs. David Korsgren of Read the Want Ads with a coupon | book entitling them to free ice cream | Lake Forest have moved into a home HEMSTITCHING In Gold, Silver, Irish Point, Picoting, Etc.
