WINNETKA TALK June 23, 1928 Motorists Pay Heavily for Bad Roads, Report Motorists pay a bad roads tax equivalent to 22.3 cents on every .gal- lon of gas consumed on a poor high- way. The Chicago Motor club re- ports that this conclusion was drawn from experiments recently conducted in Washington, Iowa and North Caro- lina. The figures were based on the premise of a car making 10 miles to the gallon on a rough highway. On a basis of a speed of 33 miles per hour, the test showed the cost of gasoline and tires per one thousand miles over rough roads used in the experiments was $35.10 for an average four cylin- der car weighing 3,500 pounds loaded. The cost for the same car at the some speed over a very smooth improved road was only $12.80, according to the fests: ALTO Willard Se LG Battery Service All Makes 'Recharging Rebuilding Starting Lighting -- Ignition Lubricating Your Troubles Quickly Cared For : JONES Service Station EDDIE JONES Linden at Scott Tel.

Make Williams' Contest Awards at Commencement Prizes were awarded last Thursday evening for the Williams prize essay contest, which is held every year by Henry P. Williams of Glencoe and is awarded at the commencement exer- cises of New Trier High school. Mr. Williams was unable to attend the exercises himself this year, so, in his absence, Frederick E. Clerk, super- intendent of the school, awarded the prizes. The first prize in the poetry group was awarded to a group of poems by Jane William Philbrick, and "Flame Darts," by Herma Emma Logan, was awarded the second prize. Kingsley Karnopp won the first prize in the short story group. He wrote under the name of John Dough. Robert Cairn Davie, writing under the name Mandarin, received second prize in this group. The third group of this prize con- test was the miscellaneous group. First iB prize was won by the essay "Thoughts in Lincoln Park," by Peter Pan, which was just the pen name for Madelon Maye Beall. Second prize was won by June Heyda with her contribution "My Brother." Her nom de plume was Leona le Brun. Two plays handed in, both of which were considered very good, and thus given honorable mention. One was "Symphony" by Marporie Braymer, and the other, "Over the Teacups," by Jane Philbrick. With the exception of Kingsley Kar- nopp and Marjorie Braymer all those winning prizes or receiving mention were in the graduating class. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Simpson of 1040 Starr road will visit in Springfield this week-end.
