1 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, a SCE ES LAN TO TRAIN * INSURANCE MEN Companies and University to : Co-operate , Twenty-eight of the largest fire in- surance companies of the United States have' joined hands in an unusual educa- tional 'movement whereby they hope to provide for themselves young 'exect- tives of experience and ability. These companies have agreed to furnish free scholarships in the. Northwestern Uni- versity School of Commerce with the understanding that such students as they send to that school will be given a spe- cial course in fire insurance training. One of the features of the plan, begin- ning with the second semester of the first year, will be three hours of practi- cal work in the offices of the insur- ance companies and as many hours in the classroom. The office work will be in the morning and the special instruc- tion in the afternoon. "This is the first time that fire in- surance busmess methods have been taught on the basis of part-time in the office and part-time in the classroom over a special course covering two years," commented E. C. Davies, assis- tant dean of the Northwestern Univer- sity = Commerce school. "University training = for, business executives and prospective executives has been demon- strated successfully in many other lines," he continued. "Now a group of the most progressive fire insurance com- panies of the country are acknowledg- ing this fact and are asking Northwest- ern university to help them recruit their staffs with young men who, in future years, will be qualified to carry on the great businesses their elders now di- rect." Dean Davies indicated that the in- surance companies face the problem of supplying their own ranks with. new executives and that while they pay the tuition of the students at Northwestern, the purpose is frankly self-protective. Each of the twenty-eight companies agrees to send to the school for the new course from two to four special students recruited from the brightest young men of the high schools of Chicago and vi- cinity. The new course will be opened in September of this year with probably 100 students.

JULY 12, 1924 Score One for the Motor Cop With a Heart Sunday afternoon, July 6, while traf- fic on the Waukegan road, where it in- tersects with the Glenview road, was at its height, motorists were given a brief thrill when one of Sheriff Hoffman's motorcycle officers pursued and halted a car occupied by several women, one of whom was a gray-haired matronly per- son. While the officer and the elderly woman engaged in spirited conversation, scores of drivers pulled up to learn what the "pinch" was about. But it quickly developed that no arrest was taking place. The sheriff's officer was Sergeant Gilbert Kelling and the car he had over- taken and halted was not being operated by speed fiends. On the contrary, it contained his mother, the elderly wom- en, Mrs. Ricka Kelling of Chicago, who was out with several friends for a pleas- ure ride. Sergeant Kelling chanced to see them driving along the road, overtook them and gave peremptory orders that the party accompany him, not to jail, but to the nearest ice cream parlor, where he "blew" a good portion of his avail- able cash. The incident pleased the motorists who had stopped to learn the cause of the officer's action, and, incidentally, when they were informed of the rea- son of it, the stock of another of Sheriff Hoffman's motorcycle men jumped above par. WHERE CONES COME FROM Ice cream cones, those fragile con- tainers of the sweets so popular in the summer months, are moulded and baked at the rate of 2,000 an hour, by means of a gas oven and a 7-foot wheel. The wheel lies upon its side, and is built with with 36 spokes, upon each of which is a double iron mould. The batter is poured into the hollow core, a cone-shap- ed plunger automatically descends, press- ing the batter into its finished shape. The wheel then revolves, carrying the mould into the gas oven, which bakes it even- ly and quickly. Then the wheel turns forward another spoke, bringing anoth- er filled mould into the oven while the finished cone is removed.
