Phone WILMETTE 145 North Shore Line Interstate Rates Ordered Increased An increase in interstate passenger rates on the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee railroad from 3 to 3.6 cents a mile becomes effective on March 25, according to announcement made by the management. The new rates are made effective on that date by authorization of the Inter- state Commerce Commission acting on the petition recently filed by the com- pany. However, it is announced, round trip tickets between Chicago-and Evanston stations and Kenosha, Ra- cine and Milwaukee will be sold at the present rates until April 1. Interstate commutation rates in both Illinois and Wisconsin are in no way affected by the increase, it is pointed out by the North Shore Line manage- ment. The new interstate rates will make the fare one way between the Chicago Loop and downtown Milwau- kee, $3.06, the same as on the steam railroads, which is 49 cents more than the present rate of $2.57. "In establishing these new interstate rates the North Shore Line is merely placing the cost of its transportation service on a parity with that of other carriers serving the same territory," said Charles E. Thompson, vice presi- dent. "Recent capital expenditures by the company in giving the public addi- tional service through construction of the Skokie Valley route, purchase of new equipment and extensive improve- ments have made this imperative. "As a result of its large expansion program, the North Shore line now offers its customers the advantages of increased facilities and more frequent train operation, we will continue in our efforts to make this high-speed elec- trically operated railroad of increasing benefit to the communities which it serves." Wilmette Boys Lead Way in U. of I. Scholarship Lawrence Langdon and W. C, Thompson of Wilmette are among those 105 first-year men students at the University of Illinois this spring who have helped improve the scholarship rating of this class by making an aver- age in their first semester's work of 4.97 and 4.5, respectively. While there are 2497 men in the freshman class at the university, only 105 of the number made grades high enough to be pledged to the national honorary freshman fraternity -- Phi Eta Sigma, according to an announce- ment just made. That the scholarship of students is improving from year to year seems to be proved with the current announce- ment, for it means that 5.166 percent of the first year men made this honor, as compared to 4.073 percent last year. The first year that the fraternity was organized, only 2.0084 percent of the men qualified. Since that time, there has been a gradual percentage increase all of which seems to give the lie to the statement that it is im- possible in a large school to give ex- pert instruction with resulting high grades. Letters to the honorary men are be- ing mailed out this week. They will be pledged the latter part of the month at a great university convoca- tion to be addressed by a noted man in the educational world. 6 LIC rr" 06 SI 06 SI 06 NOOR \ "Personality" in OM ats Prices from $25.
