me ame I] i i { WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923 INVITE BOYS TO CANP ROOSEVELT Enrollment Records Already Shattered North shore boys are again invited to attend Camp Roosevelt, the nation- al summer educational-training en- campment at Silver Lake, Ind., un- der command of Major F. L. Beals, U. S. A. Word to that effect has just been received by school author- ities from Peter A. Mortenson, sup- erintendent of Chicago public schools. The first contingent will reach camp for the opening of summer school on July 2. Those who will at- tend the other divisions of the camp (R. O. T. C. or military division, and the Junior Camp) will follow a week later, reaching there on July 9. Highly Approved Prospect Camp Roosevelt is attracting na- tion-wide attention because of its unique policy for giving boys, on the basis of a public institution, a course of highly specialized training, ex- cellent care and food equal to that of the finest private camps. This is made possible through the support of the Chicago public school system, the War Department of the U. S. Government, American Regd Cross, Y. M. C. A, Chicago Dental society, and public-spirited Chicago men who bear all financial burdens. Boys 10 years and over, from all parts of the country are privileged to attend. A three weeks' outing, under finest pos- sible conditions, costs each recruit $30 for the training, mess privileges, and healthful outdoor vacation. Enrollment Record Broken Major Beals, whose office is at the Board of Education, 460 South State street, Chicago, stated in a recent interview: "All previous records for enrollment at this early season have already been broken. Penn- sylvania, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas are the more distant states represented, and this does not mean that only one application, but sever- al, have been received. Of course, the nearby states are, as always, more popularly represented. I at- tribute this to the splendid location and facilities which the Indiana campsite, to which we moved last summer, affords. Every one of our boys benefited from training, and at the same time had a splendid time. At any rate, that seems to be the impression of the early regis- trants, the majority of whom are "repeaters." LEONARD ORTH DIES; WAS ILL FOUR DAYS Leonard J. Orth, 23 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James J. B. Orth, died at his home, 522 Laurel avenue, at 5 o'clock Friday night, March 23. Death came after and illness of only four days. . William Schissler, Christian Science leader from Sheboygan, Wis. con- ducted the funeral services which were held from the Orth home Tues- day afternoon. Later in the day Ma- sonic services were held from the (f-aceland chapel, Chicago, Burial was at Graceland. Leonard Orth was born in Mil- waukee in 1900. After living with his parents in Minneapolis for a peri- oe - 2 FORD REPAIRING Skokie Motor Co. 712-714-716 Elm Street Winnetka ~ Authorized FORD Dealers a od of years he moved to Wilmette in 1914. He attended the Evanston academy, was graduated from the Lake Forest academy and last June was graduated with high honors from Dartmouth college. At the time of his death Mr. Orth was in the employ of the Gilbert D. Johnson, real estate company at Winnetka. He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and during his last year in college was the presi- dent of his chapter. In the same year he was treasurer of his class. Mr. Orth was also a member of the Wilmette Masonic lodge. The average rate of cash fare charged by the electric railways of the country is now 7.3 cents, accord- ing to the latest compilation. The highest average was reached on November 1, 1921, when the figure was 7.46 cents. A good many screen stars are not strong on literature. Barbara La Marr read that the Kaiser was to receive $1,000,000 for his publications and exclaimed. "That seems hardly enough when you consider Milton got $30 for "Paradise Lost." r ] We Have Been Studying for years the ques- tion of good taste in glasses. A walk down the street, half an hour in almost any com- pany, showsadiscern- ing man or woman the need for such a study. So many pairs of glasses, all right in themselves, are not suited to those who are trying to wear them. [tis nota question of the glasses, or of the people. Merely one of petting the right glasses and the right people together. : As we have been do-"* ing for more than a Pool's Shoes For Spring and Summer You will find a complete run of sizes, in all of the new styles shown.

S$ TW A:N.D AR D OF T HE W OR LD CADILLAC Thatreliability of performance for which the owner prizes his Cadillac is the manifestation ofa thousand refinements of design--the achievements of more than twenty years of continuous engineering effort. Since the first Type 61 appeared there have been numerous unheralded but important betterments of this current model. Carburetion, for example, is now thermostatically controlled and automati cally adjusts itself to all climatic conditions. A sav- ing of more than 10% in gasoline consumption is thereby effected, at the same time, giving more rapid acceleration and insuring quick and easy starting even in the most severe weather. To such patient and talented efforts over a long period of years is due in a large measure that superla- tive performance for which Cadillac is preferred.
