Phillips of 1119 Forest ave- nue presented them with a well equipped camping site located six miles from Wilmette, about two miles west of Glencoe. The well wooded property contains a building in which hiking parties can sleep, a well 140 feet deep, camp tables and benches, tent platforms and other camping conveniences. The boys will make their first hike to the camp this Saturday under the direction of P. L. Harrington, who is conducting a successful work among the boys of St. Augustine's parish. It is the intention of Rev. Hubert Carleton, rector of St. Augustine's, to have this property widely used not only by boys of his own church, but by Wilmette boys in general. Mr. Carleton states that the camp will be loaned free of charge to the other Boy Scout troops of the village and to other Wilmette boy organiza- tions, REID RECOVERING Los Angeles, Calif --His pulse and temperature practically normal, Wal- lace Reid, film star today was pro- nounced on the road to recovery by attending physicians. Reid spent a happy Christmas with his wife and little Billie and Betty Reid. CHCAGD AUTO SHOW T0 BF BIGGEST EE Closed Cars to Be Featured at Down-Town Event With conditions favorable and with the outlook encouraging, automobile manufacturers and dealers expect the twenty-third national automobile shows this year to be record break- ers. The displays will be held in Grand Central Palace, New York City, January 6 to 13, and in the Coliseum and Armory, Chicago, Janu- ary 27 to February 3. There have been some changes in the exhibitors' list since the show management issued its preliminary data. A revised list shows that eighty-three manufacturers will ex- hibit at New York. The fact that the show is only a few weeks away has served as usual to set the motoring world wondering what the exposition will bring to light. Manager S. A. Miles is now engaged in arranging an unusual dec- orative setting for the exhibits, and is planning other details in order to make the forthcoming exhibition the greatest ever held. Interest Aroused Is the ideal car finally to stand forth in all the radiance of perfec- tion; will the new accessories fill the gaps that have barred the way to perfect comfort; will prices be re- vised up, down or across? These and a thousand other conjectures are filling the mind of the man who owns or intends to own a car. These are the puzzling questions that are agi- tating the motorist who feels that the old car should make way in the garage for a new and glittering edi- tion in the year of grace, 1923. Bigger, brighter, more interesting than ever, is the promise that is held for the 1923 show. It's the same promise that was made for the show of a decade ago, and every other an- nual display ever since. And strange- ly enough, the yearly exposition in- variably has lived up to the opti- mistic predictions of its sponsors. Since the far-gone days in the early part of the century, no national automobile show has ever failed to provide a wealth of entertainment not only for the man who drove a car. but equally so for the man who hoped to. "Full House" Assured Right now, although the tickets for the big event have not even been printed nor the "props" assembled, a full house is assured. It has always It is conceded that the coming dis- play will be dominated by the closed types of cars. More and more the motorist is evincing his desire for been so; it probably always will be. The annual review is an assured suc- cess because its appeal is as wide as the country itself. the acme of travel typified by the limousine, the sedan, the coupe and the various combinations of these three standard types put out with more or less whimsical names. The accessory makers confine their new products to no particn'ar of the year, but the most important are usually reserved for the national show. Many hundreds of accessory exhibitors are already listed. North Shore Man Attends S. A. E.

It is believed that many epidemics and much of the commun- icable diseases are aided in their spread by cooks handling food. This is especially important in the case of cooks and servants in restaurants. Recently a municipal ordinance was effected in Manila to prevent small stores and shops from giving drinking water to their patrons, since such water, usually taken from infect- ed wells, was a constant source of in- fection in the spread of typhoid fever. Manila in the past has suffered from authorities serious cholera epidemics, but the city has been free from cases for some time, Salad oil added to putty prevents it from hardening or cracking.
