RE it Sabo es i CR RE TE WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 SAY FLINT SIX * FULFILLS NEED Dealers Enthusiastic About New Model "The development of the Flint Six Forty," declare north shore dealers in that car, "fulfills the need for a light six of character, just as the Flint Six *'55" illed in its own way a great void in the quality six field--the need for a large, powerful, beautiful six at a price any purchaser of a good six could afford to "pay. : "That is why the Flint Six Forty has four wheel brakes and balloon tires, mounted on 20-inch disc wheels, as stan- dard equipment; why its lines follow the beautifully molded curves of the Flint Six "55;" why is has a powerful, smooth and flexible engine, big and roomy bodies, and appointments and ma- terials of fine quality. "It is light of character. "In appearance it expresses ideals which are individual in the Flint line and have won great public approval. In design and construction the Flint Six Forty would do credit to far more ex- pensive cars. "Only a careful study of Flint Six Forty specifications can give a picture of how great an achievement the devel- opment of this new companion six to bear the Flint nameplate really is. "Typical of the advanced desig and many improvements in this newest light six are the Flint Perfected Four Wheel Brakes. These brakes overcome all the objections to, and develop to the utmost degree yet attained, all the advantages of such braking systems. "Instead of brake bands in the ferm of a circle, brake shoes are used and these have been adapted to the rear as well as to the front wheels, in order that the whole system may be perfectly co-ordinated. The shoes, one outside and one inside the circumference of the brake drum, are mounted on the two arms of a fork which in turning squeezes them together with the brake drum between. "In view of the fact that pressure is applied on only about one-fourth the drum surface the possibility of heating, burning or locking is practically elimin- ated. Another great advantage is the fact that costs of relining are practically eliminated and when necessary are com- paratively negligible. Adjustments as originally made have little tendency to change and are in accessible positions. "The Flint Six Forty is a modern car in every particular--in design, equip- ment, performance and value. It is a Lght six of real character." GOOD ROADS AN AID TO HEALTH Avoid Dust Carriers of Dan- gerous Disease "Statistics invariably show that, given the same density of population, the good roads town has a lower percentage of disease than the poor roads town," says a bulletin issued by the Chicago Motor club. "Where there is a good road there is an absence of dust, and it is impossible to deny the importance of dust in tie spreading of almost every sort of dis- ease. "In a dusty road over which everyone passes daily, a huge contagious colony of germs is bound to become planted, needing only a gust of wind to spread a score of infections over a large radius. "The summer, and more particularly the dry times of autumn and winter, becomes seasons of grip, colds and other more serious maladies. Here and there strange epidemics of diptheria, scarlet fever and throat diseases crop up, seemingly from nowhere, but inves- tigation traces their origin to the dusty thoroughfares running through the locality. "Where the road is hard, and well finished with a hard, smooth surface, and sloping from the 'crown' or center, into well kept gutters on either side, it becomes almost as hard for dust to lodge there as on the white surface of enomeled iron work." CARDINAL MAY ATTEND BANQUET FOR BISHOP Thursday, October 9, has been an- nounced as the date of an elaborate ban- quet to be given in honor of Bishop Francis E. Kelley of Oklahoma by the Quilmette Council, Knights of Colum- bus, with which council the newly con- secrated prelate has been closely affili- ated during his extended pastorate in the St. Francis Xavier parish in Wil- mette. The banquet, to be held on the Or- rington roof garden, Evanston, will be in the nature of a 'farewell dinner" to the bishop, who leaves, within a short ] time, to assume charge of a diocese in the Southwest. Among the Catholic dignitaries who have been invited to attend the banquet are Cardinal George Mundelein of Chi- cago, Bishop Hoban of Chicago, and Bishop Muldoon of Rockford. Priests from all sections of the north shore and vicinity also will attend the affair, as well as representatives of the various councils of the Knights of Columbus in the vicinity of Chicago. Prominent among the priests attend- ing will be Rev. Seidenberg, S. J., and Father Piernin, S. J, of Loyola uni- versity, and Rev. Hugh P. Smythe of St. "Mary's ~ parish,; | Evanston, Dr, Smythe will be one of the speakers on the evening's program. William - Napier of Kenilworth is chairman of the committee selected to arrange the banquet and H. H. Ham- mes, 422 Linden avenue, Wilmette, is in charge of reservations. The banquet will be the most preten- tious affair ever conducted under aus- pices of the Ouilmette council, Knights of Columbus, it is said. MOON ROADSTER ATTRACTIVE JOB Latest Production Is Styhsh Model The new Moon roadster, in satin finished Duco, is one of the most at- tractive open cars that has been an- nounced this season. It is exception- ally well designed, with long, sweep- ing body lines, beautiful grey or two- tone tan Duco finish, and the blue Spanish leather upholstery. The latest production of the Moon plant is a very stylish automobile with plenty of power, speed and endurance and with unusual capacity for a car of its type. Genuine full-size balloon tires, four wheel hydraulic brakes and a new and more efficient steering gear for the balloon tire equipment, is stand- ard on the new roadster at no extra cost. n The body dimensions of this new car were so skillfully - worked out that, although the car is extremely low, it is generously proportioned with plenty of leg room and head clearance. The roadster is 161 inches long, has ample room for three adult passengers in the "driver's compart- ment. Additional passenger capacity is provided for by means of a con- venient rumble seat in the deck of the car, giving the Moon roadster almost double the capacity of the ordinary roadster. The rumble seat is a very com- fortable full cushioned seat, accom- modating two passengers, and is up- holstered in blue Spanish leather to match the other upholstering of the car. It is an exceptionally useful feature, being especially useful for accommodating additional passengers when a trip to the golf links or to the country club or other occasion re- quires. When the deck lid is down, all evi- dence of the rumble seat disappears, and to all appearance it is a roadster of conventional seating capacity. Two aluminum steps, one at the rear of each side of the car, afford easy en- trance and exit from the rumble seat and add a pleasing sport effect to the car. The roadster is upholstered in blue Spanish leather which harmonizes with the grey or tan body color. The well tailored cape top, the distinctive Moon design silvered radiator, nickel cowl lamps, nickel windshield stanch- ions, and aluminum toe plates and steps and numerous other refinements and master touches make it a car of unusual beauty and has made it one of the most popular cars in the Moon 1925 line. Car That Talks and Laughs Will Be on Show Here "Maxee" shore. This famous mystery thing will be brought to Evanston, October 6-8, ac- cording to M. R. Reagan, local man- ager. A great deal of speculation and dis- cussion has been occasioned by "Max- ee's" visit and just how the mystery is worked out has not yet been reveal- ed. "Maxee" is a stock Maxwell sport touring car, jacked up so that the tires do not touch the floor. A careful search fails to reveal any wires or hidden apparatus, yet the car talks, laughs, answers questions, recognizes people as they walk into the salesroom and calls them by name, indulges in a few jokes, plays any kind of music aon request, lights its own lights, sounds its own horn and carries on in a way calculated to mystify the smartest. At times the voice comes from the engine and when the listener looks for it there it will jump to the gasoline tank or come from under the front seat. That this performance is accom- plished by mechanical means goes without saying, but so cleverly is the means applied that the mystery de- is coming to the north fies solution. Students of radio and! modern electricity have been partic- | ularly interested in "Maxee" and each performance sees these interested ones looking in the gasoline tank, in the truck under the seats and even crawl- ing under the car to search for the voice, : : ! Members of the Home and Garden club were hostesses to the Kenilworth Garden club on Monday at the home of Mrs. John P. Oleson, 240 Wood- stock avenue. Jens Jensen's delight- ful talk on the "Preservation of Native Trees and Flowers" was much en- joyed. Mrs. Hannah and her daughter, Miss Constance, and Mr. and Mrs. Grant Ridgway left Friday for New York to meet Miss Jane.Ridgway up- on her return from Europe. Mrs. Ridgway will accompany her daugh- ter to Boston. Miss Jane will enter her second year at Wellesley Sollege.
