Glencoe 49LTN18-1te HISTORICAL MOVIES COME TO NEW TRIER Famous "Chronicles of America Photoplays," to be Viewed by Students, Parents No patriotic or educational project. of recent years has made a more pro- found impression than the work of the Yale University Press in producing the series of authentic and inspiring his- torical motion pictures entitled "The Chronicles of American Photoplays." These films are to be shown at New Trier High school this spring. In these remarkable films, events of outstanding importance in the annals of America are re-created with vivid- ness and fidelity in every detail. Fifteen pictures have been completed, begin- ning with "Columbus" and ending with "Dixie," the latter subject culminating with the meeting of Lee and Grant at Appomattox. Never before' in motion picture history have any historical mo- tion pictures been produced under such auspices or with such scrupulous care and untiring effort for absolute ac- curacy in every detail, it is said. The result has been to make the Chronicles of American Photoplays, like the volumes of the same name on which they are based, at once a new and most effective apparatus to assist in the better teaching of American history in the schools, and a power- ful instrument for the stimulation of patriotism and good citizenship. Clerk Secures Films The fifteen completed photoplays in this series are to be presented at New Trier for the instruction and inspira- tion of the students. Arrangements for their use have been made whereby certain of the films may be seen by adults of the community. The details of the showings have been completed by Superintendent Frederick F. E. Clerk, with the Yale University Press, who will announce a definite schedule of subjects and dates shortly. This co-operation on the part of the Yale University Press Film Service with the educational work of the high school authorities is made possible, it has been announced, as the result of a gift made to Yale University Press in meinory of Captain Oliver Baty Cun- ningham, 15th United States Field Ar- tillery, who was born in Chicago, Sep- tember 17, 1894, and was graduated front Yale college in the class of 1917. As an undergraduate, he was distin- guished alike for high scholarship and for 'proved capacity for leadership among his fellows, as evidenced by his | selection as Gordon Brown prize man for his class. He received his commis- sion as Second Lieutenant, United States Feld Artillery, at the First Of- ficers Training Camp at Fort Sheridan, and, in December, 1917, was detailed abroad for service, receiving subse- quently the Distinguished Service medal. He was killed while on active duty near Thiaucourt, France, on Sep- tember 17, 1918, the twenty-fourth an- niversary of his birth. - Cover Many Subjects Followings are the titles of the fif- teen Chronicles of America Photo- plays, which will be shown.

Ill, Saturday, January Traffic Looms as One of the Biggest Factors in Life By J. G. Barber North Shore Representative of Velie, Moon and Diana. Secretary of the Evanston Safety Council. The term "Traffic," although seen in print very often and discussed by cer- tain groups nearly every day, is little thought of by the average citizen of today notwith- standing the fact that "Traffic" has perhaps more to do with every person's daily life than any- thing else except food and sleep. It was only a few years ago that we had the great con- venience of horse cars, horses and carriages and bi- cycles for our J. G. Barber Photo by Ray Every one was hap- py and the wheels of industry turned as well then as today. No one was in such a mad rush that the world found transportation conditions such as to require earnest consjderation of transport a tio n. expert minds trained in "Traffic." As time woré on people desired to make more out of their time and as a result the first thing that had to be mastered was transportation. This gave us the cable cars, electric cars, elevated lines, one-cylinder motor cars and motor bicycles, and evolu- tion has gone on until today we have electric cars and elevated and steam trains of course, but many times fast- er than a few years ago because peo- ple are still continuing to force more into their daily lives. The automobile has without a question come to be the most important means of trans- portation, not only for those who are in a mad rush from morning to night, but also for those of leisure. Today finds motor cars of four, six, eight, twelve and in some cases sixteen cyl- inders capable of making better than 100 miles per hour. These vehicles range in price from the used car at $25 to the large flashy cars at $20,000 each. At this time it is possible for every" man, woman and child to have an automobile, and to the traffic engineer it looks very often as though they all had. If all these cars were in good mechanical condition and operated with a due regard for traffic, life would be a lot more pleasant. As it is you have the fellow with a faulty car that ties up traffic with a break down or causes an accident, and there is our old friend the road hog, the drunken driver and the race track hound who goes 50 per to get there, and on ar- rival at destination wastes the time he saved if he was lucky in not being arrested or ditched. ) At this time of the year when the auto shows are in session it would be well for the person who is con- templating getting a new car to look twice before jumping. Due to price competition essential parts and strength have been taken out of some cars, which means that at the critical moment they will not perform prop- erly. Robert Hallquist, son of Mrs. L. Hallquist of 809 Oak street, entertained eleven of his friends at an afternoon party, Monday, January 24, at 3:30 o'clock. The occasion was the cele- bration of his eleventh birthday. --Q-- Mrs. F. L. Wilcox of Walker, Minn., left Kenilworth last week after spend- ing ten days as the guest of Mrs. Charles D. Howe, 246 Kenilworth ave- nue. 5
