Asked a Stranger in One of Our Local Markets -- "Just around the corner--Hanson's,"' said one woman. -- "That's right"'--said a second. --"That's where I always take my car," said a third, 'and I always get satisfaction." The fourth to speak was a gentleman--and he too said "HANSON'S" --and the party looking for a garage came in for repairs to his car and told us about this incident. We wish, at this time, to thank our boosters-- and give assurance to all that Hanson's Motor Co. gives satisfaction. HANSON MOTOR CO.

Inspection of Studio Invited ve bS Electrocution Is Found Most Humane Stray Dog Killer The device installed by the Village of Winnetka recently for the purpose of electrocuting stray dogs, instead of shooting them, as has been the custom for many years, is proving highly sa- tisfactory, the Police report. The cost of the equipment and its in- stallation. according to Village Man- ager H. I. Woolhiser, was only $90. In further commenting on it, he said: "It has been felt for some time that the disposal of unclaimed dogs by shoot- ing is inhumane and also disagreeable to many of the police officers required to perform this task. "Upon investigation, it was found that the animal rescue league of Boston has adopted electrocution as the most humane method of killing dogs, and can supply a patented automatic electric cage at a price of $375. "It was found that the Anti-Cruelty Society, 155 West Grand avenue, Chi- cago, has used one of these cages for over twelve years with entire satisfac- tion, and the cage is highly recommended by well-known national authorities. "It was therefore decided to adopt this method and to build one of these cages at the service yard, under the di- rection of Superintendent Harold J. Bohnen, thereby saving considerable ex- pense. The cage was built and put into operation in January, at a total cost of, approximately $90.00." Firemen Get Three Calls; Little Damage to Report Friday afternoon of last week the Winnetka Fire department was called to the residence of Rush C. Butler, 40 Locust road, where a fire, spreading from a burning brush heap had got- ten into the shrubs and trees. In the forenoon of the same day they were called to Hibbard road and Cherry street, to extinguish a grass fire, caused, it is said, from a lighted cigaret stub. Last Thursday afternoon they were called to the residence of Stanley Rich, 461 Maple avenue. They found a smoke filled basement, but no fire ex- cept in the furnace. AT BEOSPITAL BENEFIT Many Winnetka and north shore members of the Auxiliary of the Chi- cago Lying-In hospital and dispensary, were present at the Standard club Wednesday afternoon when Mme Gita Gradova, who has just closed a season with the New York Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony orchestras, gave a benefit recital The funds realized are to be added to those being collected for the erection of a new Lying-In hospital on the Midway.
