fhe WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1925 reiip---- AUTO INDUSTRY USES CHEMISTS Laboratories Important for Test Purposes Most people think of an automobile factory as a place for manufacturing and assembling mechanical units. But few realize the extensive chemical and metallurgical laboratories which the modern factory maintains. This should be of special interest to automobile buyers, for it is in the laboratory that science in all its branches is brought into play to safeguard the quality of the car. "The thousands of dollars, which we spend for our laboratory equipment, are really spent to assure Chrysler owners years of care-free enjoyment and profit from their cars," says Ledyard Mitchell, vice president in charge of manufacturing of the Chrys- ler Motor corporation. "We maintain a staff of trained chemists and metallugists who keep a constant check on every piece of raw material purchased for the fabrication of Chrysler parts. Watch Raw Material "After the raw material has started through the process of manufacture it is constantly watched and inspected by these specialists to detect any flaw in the workmanship. Samples are taken to the laboratories between operations and there submitted to vari- ous tests. "You can grasp some idea of the vigilance with which we guard Chrys- ler quality from a few examples. "We have machines for testing the hardness and the tensile strength of steel, and the depth to which a part has been case-hardened. "Parts such as the propeller and rear axle shaft are subject to a constant twist or 'torque' in service, therefore we have special and costly machines in which they are subjected to far 'greater strains than is possible in ac- "tual operation. Test Upholstery "We have ultra-violet ray equipment to test the dye in the upholstery ma- terial, and instruments which test its strength both with and against the warp. We make a 'pocket' of top ma- terial and allow water to stand in it for a long 'period of time to test its waterproof quality. "These are just a few examples and there are hundreds of other tests just as exacting and important to the owneuy; : : "It a8 'this extreme care which we exercise in' our choice. of material to- gether with the thousands of inspec- tions whigh the Chrysler receives dur- ing its coprse of manufacture that hag helped the Chry sler attain the supre-- macy it, enjoys. | TRACY RECITAL CHARMS SKOKIE SCHOOL PUPILS BY R. H.M.: .f The children 'of Skokie school, and those parents who were | fortunate enough to be present, had a genuine treat recently in 'the form of a piano recital given by 'Mrs. Ruth Alexander Tracy. With spplendid musicianshhip and rare charm of manner Mrs. Tracy cast a spell over her audience, which was enthusiastic in its appreciation of her gifts, Thi program opened with a Pastor- ale and a Capriccio by Scarlatti and the Harmonious Blacksmith of Handel, which| were played with appreciation for the classic style_and much tonal beauty. The Grieg Ballade in G Minor, Op. 24 (Variations on a Norwegian folk song) Mrs. Tracy played with breadth and authority. It was the piece de resistance, as well it might be on any program. The next group took in some con- temporary composers, our own John Alden Carpenter, whose Two Diver- sions were charmingly read, and De- bussy, whose Girl with the Flaxen Hair and The Cathedral Engloutic were given with a feeling for rhythmic val- ues and modern nuance. The Liszt arrangements of Schubert's Hark! Hark! the Lark, and of Wag- ner's Spinning Song from the Flying Dutchman, brought the program to a stunning climax. SOPHS TAKE SWIM MEET Soph mermaids of New Trier, under Captain Yonkers, swam off with the annual Inter-Class Swimming meet with a score of 30 points. The other class teams trailed them in the fol- lowing order: Juniors 27, Freshman 21, and Seniors 16 points. Otto Dovidat Ladies' and Men's Tailoring 794 Elm Street Over Vollmann's market.

THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS By Will Dilg (President, Isaak Walton League of America) THE COMING SPORT O outdoor sport--mnot even golf --has enjoyed such an increas- ing and spontaneous vogue as fly casting has during the past two years. This, the most scientific manner of fishing, has captured the imagination of the American angler. Bait casting not long ago revolution- ized fishing--took it out of the class of the cane pole and the spat-upon worm and made it a pastime aided by fine equipment and necessitating consider- able skill. Now comes fly casting, with its much finer and more delicate equipment, the more sensitive lures, the need for al- most billiard-like touch on the part of the manipulator. Of course fly casting has been practiced for many years, but only recently has it become popularized. It is now the favorite methhod of angling not only for the trout, but for the black bass: "the game fish of the people." The difference between bait casting and fly casting lies mainly in this: In casting a bait, you cast the bait itself, after the principle of a sling, the weight and momentum of the lure taking the line from the reel as it is cast. In cast- ing a fly, the line, not the lure, is cast. The line is not taken from the reel at off by the angler in preparation for the cast. Then' the line is cast--it travels forward in the form of a loop, carying the dainty fly after it. For this reason lines for fly casting are much heavier than bait casting. As a boy you have doubtless many times taken hold of the end of a rope lying on the ground and have caused a running loop to travel along the rope by giving it a sudden peculiar twist. That is the principle of fly casting. The fly rod is longer and much more flexible than the bait rod. The bait rod throws the lure forward like a bow, whereas the fly rod '"wafts" the line out with its long sinuous motion. Play- ing a fish on the fly rod is the sportiest kind of fishing. It is always a matter of skill, never of strength. Ask your fishing tackle dealer about the new trend in tackle. He will tell you that lighter rods, smaller lures, finer hooks, are in greatest demand. The tendency is toward sportsmanlike tackle. The tendency among sportsmen is to be more sportsmanlike in every way. We are realizing that this is not only a necessity, but a pleasure.

N. On Thursday evening of last week a joint meeting of Glencoe and Winnetka Masonic lodges was held in the Win- netka Masonic temple, 708 Elm street, the visiting lodge conferring the third degree on an evening candidate. The perfection of the degree work and the beauty of the music that Glen- coe furnished on this occasion was an inspiration to the 200 men who wit- nessed the ceremonies. Glencoe lodge is to be specially congratulated on hav- ing such a splendid chorus. At the conclusion of the degree work refreshments were served in the dining room. During the talks by the various officers of the two lodges, and in the good-natured banter between the vari- ous members, one could not help but sense the fact that "the cement of brotherly love" had united these two bodies very close indeed. Winnetka lodge also had a special meeting on Thursday evening of this week, with work on the third degree; three candidates being raised to the degree of Master Mason. This class of candidates brings the membership of the lodge to almost 400, and the officers are now making plans for a big evening when the 400th member shall have been admitted. At the last stated meeting of the lodge it was voted to stage another golf tournament among the members, similar 'to the one held a year or so ago. E. A. Anderson, 331 Walnut street, was appointed chairman in charge of the tournament and he will announce the details and accept entries at that stated meeting, June 2. Mrs. Edgar A. Stevens left Mon- day to spend several days visiting in Detroit. While there she expects to play several of Detroit's golf courses.
