TR EINER TTE TTR RE I orem Ba bien 14 a FEET DAY 15 OCTOBER § Governor Small Issues Fire Prevention Proclamation Editor's Note: October 9,.1:1932, has been established by proclama- tion as Fire Prevention Day for Illi- ~ nois. On that day churches, schools, civic and social organizations are ex- pected to call attention 'to the enor- mous preventable annual fire loss and emphasize the best methods of minimizing these losses by the prac- tice of more care on the part of the individual. Following is Governor Len Small"s Fire Prevention Procla- mation, which should command the attention of every public-spirited citizen of this community. To the People of Illinois, Greeting: Fire losses in the United States are continuing at the rate of a half billion dollars a year. Those of our State are running at twenty million dollars a year. It should be a cause of concern to every citizen not only that this enormous property value is being wiped out each year by fire, but that the annual fire waste of State and Nation has doubled since the war. More irreparable than the destruction of property is the estimated loss of 15,000 lives by fire or burns every vear in the United States. A fire loss of this magnitude is a serious drain upon our resources and an impediment to prosperty. Burned factories produce nothing, except idle workmen. Burned homes bring deso- lation and misery, and often death of dear ones. economic loss is another burden add- ed to our people, who must pay for it both in prices of things they buy and in the cost of insurance protection. The great majority of fires are pre- ventable through the exercise of ordi nary carefulness. Genuine co-operation by our citizens along this line would materially reduce this great waste of life and property. Therefore, appealing for this co- operation by our citizenship, I here- by proclaim Monday, the ninth day of October, 1922, as Fire Prevention Day. / I also urge that the week of Octo- ber 2 to 9 be set aside as Fire Pre- ventiou Week and suggest activities along these lines: That all premises be. carefully ex- amined and fire hazards removed. Especially should there be a thor- ough cleaning up and disposal of rubbish, repairing of defects in flues and heating equipment, correction of defective electrical wiring and elim- ination of inflammable conditions generally. . That a rigid inspection be made of schools, churches, theaters, public and private hospitals and institutions, hotels, stores and factories, and that necessary safeguards against fire, and adequate exit facilities in case of fire, be provided. 2 That a careful examination of fire ordinances be made by local officials and any deficiencies remedied. I urge every Mayor to issue an ap- propriate local proclamation. I sug gest that pastors may render great assistance by pulpit appeals either on Sunday, October 1, or Sunday, Oc- tober 8, for the practice of fire pre vention, Educational exercises should be held in the schools to instruct pupils in the elimination of fire hazards. Fire drills should be held in schools, factories and stores. They . should be continued systematically during the year. Public meetings should be held where possible to stimulate interest in fire prevention. Conservation of life and property from fire is a patriotic duty. There should be generous co-operation from citizens individually and organized co-operation from Chambers of Com- merce and all other civic bodies. The press is earnestly urged to give the influence of its active support. 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 Springfield this twelfth day of September, 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.

It involves a large floating bargo on which are mounted three 150 K. v. a. transformers which step the voltage down from 4,000 volts, 3 phase, to 440 volts in order to operate a 350 horse- power motor. It is directly connected to a large centrifugal pump which sucks sand and gravel from the bot- tom and edges of a gravel pit and pass- es it through a 12-inch pipe line sup- ported by pontoons, which latter also support the the 4,000 volt, 3 phase wire --up under the railroad tracks to the point where it is screened and loaded on to flat cars. As the barge moves from point to point, more pontoons 'are added and the pipe line as well as the 4,000 volt line is lengthened to suit requirements. A small pole-mounted switch on shore opens and closes the line during these changes. In order to take care of this addi- tional demand of the Interstate Com- pany it was necessary to build a se parate power feeder from Lake Bluff sub-station, a distance of about 5 miles. This new line was strung on the same poles as the 8,000 volt line to Liberty- ville, the whole distance while it was "hot" which made it a very "ticklish" job, The Interstate company is supply- ing gravel for use in the improved roads under construction in Lake coun- ty. There are a number of such roads whose existence automobile pilots from a distance ascertain. The dredge in its operation is closely similar to dredges in service on Lake Michigan in Chicago in the job of building the outer park driveway system. Burton Cooley, Editor of School's Publication Officials of the Journalist, a paper published and edited by the class in journalism of the Winnetka publie schools, were elected at a meeting of the class last week. Burton Cooley was made editor-in- chief of the school publication. Other officers named were Ruth Hamburger, associate editor; John Schwabacher, business manager; and Frances Etz- bach and Ralph Netterstrom, advertis- ing managers. : All the work on the Jornalist is done by members of the seventh and eighth grades enrolled in the class of journal- ism. Members of this class do all the editing, printing and selling of the ad- vertisements. The Journalist ig equipped with all the departments of which a modern newspaper can boast. In addition to getting out the Jour- nalist the class in journalism takes educational trips to Chicago newspa- per plants. Begin Construction on Eckart Hardware Store Sinking of the foundation of the new Eckart Hardware company build ing, which is to be erected on Alm street, just east of the new Winnetka State Bank, was progressing satisfac torily this week. The building of brick construction is to be two and one-half stories in height with dimensions of 40 by 120 feet, and strictly fireproof through- out. There are to be four 4-room apart- ments on the second floor, and the lower floor and basement will pe giv- en over entirely to the purposes of the hardware business. The land on which the building is being constructed was purchased re- cently by Mr. Eckhart for $12,000. The estimated cost of the proposed building will be $45,000 or $50,000.

T29-2te GARDNER MOTOR C0, aIEADILY ADVANCING Ranks 16th Among Automo- tive Leaders of Country The Gardner Motor Company, Ine., has just closed some very good con- tracts with representative foreign concerns. Some very notable states- men are interested in these enter prises, and foreign capital looks very favorably on the Gardner car. One of the most interesting tests as to the value and performance qualities of the Gardner was under- taken by Sir Rodman Roblin, ex- premier of the Province of Manitoba, ioneer Canadian capitalist and guid: ing spirit of the Consolidated Motors, Itd., of Winnepeg. After a severe road test of a Gardner car to the Rocky mountains and back, he signed up a distributor, well satisfied with the per- ormance of this automobile. Another distinguished statesman and soldier, General Gustavo Salinas, n charge of the aviation, department Jf the Republic of Mexico and nephew )f the late President Carranza, has he distributor rights for Mexico City. Iis company, The National Auto Im ort company, is erecting a most elab- orate building for the exclusive show- ngs of Gardner cars. All Over Continent Other importers taking on the Gardner are: Robertson & Malcohm, td. of London, England, who will have an exhibit of Gardner cars at the Olympia motor show in London; So- ciedad Hispano Americana Gaston- onge, Madrid, Spain; Rudolph Schmidt, one of the largest importing firms of Copenhagen, Denmark; and W. H. Carpenter, 1td., Sidney, Australia. John Burns, ltd. of Christ church New Zealand, ordered a car as a sam- ple and upon receipt of same "cabled mmediately -for two carloads to be shipped at once. The Leopold garage, Brussels, will exhibit Gardner cars at Brussels salon. Gardner shipments have recently been made to distributors in such points as Christiania, Norway; Hong Kong; Tokio; Port Elizabeth, S. A.; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentine. N. T.'s Novice Gridders Lose Game to Des Plaines Des Plaines High School football men easily defeated the New Trier High school gridders last Saturday on the north shore field. The final score was 10 to 0, and was a victory for Des Plaines largely because New | Trier's men were unfamiliar with the i fine points of the game.
