Appro- Winnetka Supremacy in Line Steel In the percentage of Costly Chrome Vanadium Steel used, Dodge Brothers Motor Car outranks any other automobile in the world, regardless of cost. It is everywhere conceded tflat Chrome Vanadium Steel is the toughest and most enduring metal ever created for use in the vital parts of a motor car. - It may not be so well known, however, that Dodge Brothers Motor Car ranks first in the world in the use of this costly and fatigue-proof material. Dodge Brothers power assembly is almost . entirely Chrome Vanadium -- motor, con= necting rods, crankshaft, transmission, uni- versal joint, drive shaft, differential and rear axle. Even the front axle is Chrome Vanadium-- the entire steering unit--and every leaf of the springs. In fact, wherever any manufacturer uses alloy steels, Dodge Brothers use costly Chrome Vanadium. And in numerous in« stances Dodge Brothers employ it where plain carbon steel, even in the costliest cars, is commonly thought sufficient. This has been true from the day Dodge Brothers built their first motor car. This explains why the words Long Life, Safety and Dependability are habitually associated with the name Dodge Brothers wherever motor cars are serving mankind.

An Italian garden in the spring will be made the decorative motif. Trees in spring bloom will surround the chorus while a combination of hedges and bronz urns filled with blossoms will be lavishly used. Old Temple lanterns, imported, and a graceful ar- rangement of foliage vines and blos- soms will be used in ceiling adorn- ment. Sounding boards will be in- stalled to .make the amplification of the music broader. According to report of J. H. Hilten, business manager, there is an excellent advance sale of tickets to date and good seats are going rapidly. The Evanston office is located with the North Shore Talking Machine Com- pany at 712 Church street.

With the com- ing of these glorious spring days, we feel sure you will go deep into your pockets, to give all the precious little children both boys. girls, and wee babies, the vacation that they desire, but will not get unless we give it to them. Mrs. W. A. Lamson, 940 Sheridan road, has graciously given her house for a tea for all the workers, they don't enjoy a house to house canvass, but last year we raised next to the highest amount of any suburb along the north shore, and this year we must get $7,000. So truly, it's up to yom, isn't it?"
