i a AE coc... WRF WwW INNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 17 CAN YOU GIVE A SAFETY IDEA? Motor Club Asks Members for Suggestions Local motorists are to be asked to cooperate with the American Auto- mobile association in a test in the in- terests of greater safety in night driv- ing, accrding to a bulletin issued by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club. There is said to be urgent need for some means of marking barriers across closed roads so that night drivers will be spared the many accidents, and near accidents, which are being re- ported to the A. A. A. national head- quarters in Washington, D. C., and it is believed that the automobile driver is in the best position to decide upon some method that could be standard- ized. "What method of making road con- struction barriers engages your atten tion quickest when you are proceeding along what you believe to be an un- obstructed road at night?" asks the bulletin. "Whatever warning engages your attention first is the safest. "Bear in mind that red lanterns are barred from the list of possibilities, since they are very roadily stolen and depend for their proper operation up- on a human element. Somebody must attend to them if they are to be ef- fective as a safety measure, and it is just this human element that opens up possibilities of trouble. "Some highway departments are being urged to repaint their barriers across roads under construction, and to white markings on the roadway it- self as an extra precaution. Markings similar to that used by many localities to designate dangerous crossings are also being suggested. Many of the devices used to reflect the autos head- light rays, it is believed, should be sed in addition to other warnings. +If you have an idea let us have it, D we will pass it along to A. A. A. o> .dquarters." Survey Shows We Also Have "Safe" Drivers Several months ago the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club issued an invitation to mo- torists asking them to report the num- ber of miles they had traveled with- out accident. This was part J paign fostered by the American mobile association to create among the motorists of the country a spirit of pride in safe driving. The motor club reports that it has received humerous letters from motor- ists who have driven cars in excess of 10 years traveling from 100,000 to 150,- 000 miles without accidents of any kind. Many also report that in a de- cade of car driving they have never been haled into court even for minor infraction of the vehicle laws. Lusk Wins Ovation in Concert at Washington Washington society, including members of official circles, accorded Milan Lusk, Wilmette violinist, a veritable ovation on March 16, when he appeared in concert at the Mayflower hotel in the nation's capital. Mr. Lusk's audience was particularly interested in his concert transcription of the Lady Hamilton Waltz, which Vice President Dawes sponsored. The waltz, by Jonesco, is dedicated to the Queen of Roumania who was formerly Lady Ham- ilton of England. It is being published by Gamble of Chicago. Auto- | ClO Dodge Production and Sales in Big Increase Dodge Brothers remarkable increase in production and sales continues with- out interruption, an official statement from the factory discloses. Actual retail deliveries by dealers during February were within a few cars of 15,000, which is an increase of 23.1 percent over deliveries in FKeb- ruary, 1924. Every week in February showed a material increase over the preceding week and the first week of March like- wise exceeded the last week of Feb- ruary. While dealers' stocks are exception- ally low, the factory is turning out cars in such volume that it is hoped to meet practically the entire current de- mand. Production for the first week of March was over 1000 cars a day. Dodge Brothers sales for 1924 in- creased more than 25 percent over 1923, in the face of an 11 percent de- cline in the industry as a whole. These facts, considered with the present con- tinued increase, bespeak a most grati- fying condition and Dodge Brothers re naturally optimistic. WANT CLOTHING FOR NEAR EAST Ask Million Bundles from Illinois Homes "A million bundles from Illinois." This is the slogan for Bundle Day, Wednesday, April 15, as announced th's week from the headquarters of the Tllinois committee of the Near East Relief. Ten thousand packages of cast-off clothing from the closets and attics of this state for refugee women and chil- dren in the Bible lands, is the ob- jective of the campaign which will be waged from now on with increasing momentum until the last package has been started on its journey overseas to do its part in bringing happiness and comfort to thousands of helpless orphans and women victims of war. The announcement was made by F. J. Michel, executive secretary of the Illinois committee of Near East Relief, simultaneously with the distribution of posters and literature to the schools of the state. A million tags will be used in expediting the work of the ng. "The need of these little children and refugee old men and women in Macedonia and other Bible lands is so urgent," said Mr. Michel, "that the committee feels amply justified in mak- ing the Illinois quota of clothing to be obtained a million packages.

Of course not! but there are many parents who might just as well blindfold their child as to send him to school with eye- strain, often for months--even after they have been told some- thing is wrong. A child cannot progress in his studies unless his vision is per- fect. We specialize in the examina- tion of children's eyes. 15 vears of successful practice Dr. 0. H.

Thousands of children are now hungry and cold in Macedon- 'an camps, and according to reports sent us, are becoming stunted mentally, bhysically and also morally crippled by ~ircumstances no child should face. No American understanding the situa- tion would approve failure to provide adequately for refugee camp children. "That is the reason for our slogan in this campaign, 'A Million Bundles from Illinois." The committee appeals to every patriotic Illinois man and woman to send us old clothing for the Near East and Near-Naked children." Need More, More, More Funds for Tornado Aid Thomas M. Temple, executive sec- retary of the Chicago chapter, Amer- ican Red Cross, says that the demand for funds for the relief of the tornado sufferers is growing on account of the great property loss sustained in south- ern Illinois.

This disease usually reaches its prev- alence peak in June or July. An author- ity on this malady says "most of the complications, and of dea.hs, in whoop- ing cough occur in children who are poorly nourished before the onset of the disease and suffer further depletion dur- ing the course of the illness."
