LEAVES SOON FOR FRANCE Company to Sail from New York on June 23. Gordon Gillies, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gillies, 735 Eighth street, will leave Wilmette for New. York this week and make arrangements to sail for "somewhere in France" on June 23. He will drive the ambulance do- nated to the American Ambulance corps by the Elgin National Watch company, and his expenses while on \ Gordon C. Gillies. the battle front will be taken care of by the donors. The car will carry a plate inscribed "Donated by the | Elgin National Watch company and driven by Gordon C. Gillies." Desire for Aviation. In charge of the company's south- western territory, Mr. Gillies has had opportunities to consider a number | oi the branehes of service under the | United States army. When he re- ceived word from the donors to re- turn and consider going to France, he was planning to enter the Stimson Aviation school at San Antonio, Tex. The Texas school gives a six weeks' course in the bird game and issues a diploma which is acceptable to the government in picking their men to pilot planes. Gillies wanted to get into the serv- ice as soon as he could and gave up his desire for the aviation corps to come to Chicago for the ambulance work. The young men accepted for the ambulance service must enroll in the Ford Motor school in Chicago or Detroit to become familiar with the machines thev are to drive. First Instruction. He entered the Chicago branch and the instructors gave him his certifi- cate after two days' work at the plant as he has had the advantage of pre- vious studies in engineering. The machines to be used are shipped in special crating and the bodies are made in France. The men driving cars under the American Field Ambu- lance corps are assigned to munition trucks until their cars have been built and ready for service. EE EE BELLOWS SELECTED FOR WORK WITH COAST GUNS North Shore Man Gets in Division That Goes East. Franklin B. Bellows, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Bellows, 1204 Ash- land avenue, was favored in the se- lections made at Fort Sheridan of the men trying for commissions in the Coast Artillery. One hundred out of 254 men who chose to try were set aside as the group for this branch and ordered to leave for a seaboard point, where they can be given training with the big guns.

MANY CADETS REGISTER Lake: Blof 'School Is Crowded: with Young Patriots. Friends of Clyde T. Harrison, whose relatives reside at 1127 Lake avenue, will be pleased to learn that he has successfully completed a period of training at the Naval Train- ing station and has won his first pro- motion. Young Harrison is very en- thusiastic about the Navy and is mak- ing good in every regard. He is par- ticularly interested in the daily phy- sical exercises he is required to go through. He writes that the train- ing station is now taxed to its full capacity, having practically twice as many men under training now as was the case during peace times, and that owing to the large number who have to be given preliminary training, the drills and exercises arg carried on with a great deal of vigor and zest. Everything is running like clock work and training station life is satisfac- tory. Draft Men Eligible. The expressions of this young man are but a reiteration of those of the thousands of sailors now in their country's service. For a hundred years the Navy has made brilliant his- tory and given the world, a line of heroes from John Paul Jones to George Dewey. The Navy has always been the first line of defense. Today it is in active conflict with the enemy, co-operating with. the ships of our allies. It may be of interest to mention the fact that the young men who registered for selective darft on June 5 do not become ineligible for enlist- ment in the Navy. The pay of the lowest rating in the Navy has been increased to $32.60 per month and the opportunities for promotion are greater than ever before. |.=B.-0 "W.-W Chinese Chews.

LR Lh MCFFETT GETS ORDERS TO BUILD NEW HOUSES sugar, as The long-heralded and long-de- sired orders to make Chicago the greatest naval training station in the United States, if not in the world, were received Tuesday from Wash- ington by Captain Moffett, command- ant of the station.

Keep watch on the spokes of the wheels, especially if the car is an old one. If spokes can be shaken, tighten the bolts on the flanges of the hub.
