i | | 22 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 LECTURE ON STARS AT THE SUNDAY CLUB B. R. Baumgardt, Scientist and Explorer, Is Speaker Here November 19 MILAN LUSK TO PLAY Well Known North Shore Violinist on Program The first of the season's illustrated lectures before the Wilmette Sunday Evening club will be given November 19 by B. R. Baumgardt, lecturer, scien- tist and explorer, on the subject "The Frontiers of the Universe." Mr. Baumgardt, of English and Swedish extraction, is considered among the world's foremost lecturers on scientific and historical subjects. An indication of the extreme popu- larity of his lectures lies in the fact that Mr. Baumgardt has appeared as many as seventy times before a single organization. His skill as a lecturer, combined with an inexhaustible fund of information, keeps him in continu- al demand in this country and abroad. Study of the Stars The lecture, "The Frontiers of the Universe," also referred to as "An Evening with the Stars," is said to be a remarkable presentation of recent celestial photography with the great- est telescopes in existence, so simply told that a child can understand. An added feature of this Sunday's program is the appearance of Milan Lusk, Wilmette viclinist, who so fre- quently has delighted local audiences with his artistry. Mr. Lusk is a prod- uct of the Vienna Akademie and a pupil of the famous Sevcik, teacher of Kubelik, Morini and others. He was formerly soloist with the Tonkuenst- ler orchestra at Vienna and later with the Philharmonic orchestra in Prague.

It's Not June, But What Does the Little Rose Care The late autumn mildness has pro- vided many surprises for household- ers who boast flower gardens. Two weeks ago The Lake Shore News advised its Wilmette readers of blooming flowers in a local garden spot. This week comes the information from Mrs. Harry Joyce, 703 Green- wood avenue, that Armistice Day an- niversary joys were augmented in that household by the fact that a real pink rose decided upon that day as an ap- propriate occasion for a glorious bloom. Accompanying the rose in the Joyce garden were several buds that tried their best to come forth in all their splendor. New Skating Rink Will Soon Be Ready for O' Man Winter Work is proceeding satisfactorily in the construction of Wilmette's munic- ipal skating rink on the site of the new playgrounds on Seventeenth street, between Washington and Wil- mette avenues. Grading on the new rink has been about completed and workmen are now contsructing a shelter house for the skaters. GALL NEWSPAPER BEST AD MEDIUM Urge Spaces Continuously, Advice Atlantic City, N. J--The newspa- per is the best advertising medium, speakers told the convention of the American Gas association here and urged gas company executives to ad- vertise their business continuously. Newspaper advertising not only sells merchandise, but it also builds up good will, John F. Weedon, su- perintendent of advertising of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company of Chicago, said in his address. "Newspaper space should be used throughout the year," said Mr. Wee- don. "Spasmodic advertising pro- duces only spasmodic results. Keep- ing everlastingly at it emphasizes a faith in your institution, your service and your goods that is eventually transferred to the public through the insistence and persistence of your an- inducements." Mr. Weedon urged that advertising copy be kept as simple as possible. "An advertising man need not be brilliant," he continued. "All he needs is good horse sense, which has been defined as being chock full of stable information. Seemingly clever head- lines and witty phrases do not sell goods. Advertisements are news items. The public wants to know--what, where, and how much." Promiscuous advertising in pro- grams and special publications was condemned by E. J. Cooney, of the Lowell Gas Light Company of Lowell, Mass. "Hundreds of thousands of dollars are wasted annually in this foolish manner," said Mr. Cooney. "The same amount of money spent in reg- ular advertising would bring 100 per cent results." Motors Service Has Agency for the Glasco Auto Visor Motors Service, Inc., Main street, north of Central avenue, Wilmette, has taken the agency on the north, shore for the Glasco sun visors for motor cars. This automobile accessory is coming {nto common usage and Van Deusen and Slown, who hold sway at the re- cently - established -garage -and service station, are prepared to meet the de- mand right at home. Persons passing the Motors Service place last Saturday were impressed by an Armistice display comprising an effective arrangement of six over- seas caps. The headgear belonged to veterans of the world war who are now employed at the garage.
