DAIRY COMPANY MilR, STANDARD OF QUALITY | Pow! and Mr. Pow Proceeds to Slam Myr. Bauer's Porch Awakened by a crash in front of his home at 3 o'clock last Sunday morn- ing, G. Bauer, residing on Glenview road, discovered upon investigation that a passing motorist had deserted the usual lane of travel and "bor- rowed" the Bauer front steps.

In the meantime, the erratic driver had collected his scattered car and more scattered wits and had de- parted from the scene of his Don Quixote battle with the "means of ascension." much per- Now Mr. Bauer objected strenuous- ly to losing his front steps--and he objected still more strenuously to the stranger's ungentlemanly departure. Mr. Bauer coordinated his disgust with his common-sense and proceeded to search the ground for clews. He found two of them, for the vanishing motorist had left upon the scene of battle both his city and state license plates. A call to the Wilmette police station resulted in the identifi- cation of the plates with the name of one E. R. Pow, residing, according to the state license directory, at 6904 Glenwood avenue, Chicago. The ultimate action in the affair or whether or not Mr. Pow and Mr. Bauer have reached an armistice, has not been announced.

Awards will be made to approximately 100 scouts who have earned an advancement in rank dur- ing the last month. Hubbard Woods Man Killed When Flyer Crushes Automobile H. E.
