WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919 aml on ocial Happenin tthe 0 by Ruth Ri b Cla re th She sley r ACH YEAR entertaining on Hallowe'en, which comes on Friday this year, becomes more and more popular. Not only the "kiddies" look forward to such fun, but the grown folks seem to delight in frolics of a social nature on this occasion. Like all festival days now having apparently only a secular interpre- tation, Hallowe'en had a religious origin. From time immemorial * it has been the custom to celebrate the last day of October, Hallow | 7 Eve, or F'en. on this day by Druid priests. As It is held in tradition that long before the wise mer | .of the East proclaimed, the birth of Christ a great festival was held | the nations became Christianized | ~ the day was called "All Hallow" because it preceded All Saint's Day. | But the "Hallowe'en" has nothing churchly about it, and seems to be a relic of pagan times, or perhaps of mediaeval superstition. It was regarded as the time of all others when supernatural influences prevail, and as a night which .abroad of spirits both of the nystic evening it was set afloat in a tub of water. The children of Winnetka will be interested to learn that plans are now underway for a Hallowe'en party in their honor, to be October 31, beginning at 7:30 o'clock, at residents of Winnetka are invited, and 'they may come in costume or en masque.

Throughout the history of automo- biles you will find the large car man-. ufacturer has experimented, demon- rated, tested his car at the expense | of the buyer. Every year a new model is produced attempting to eliminate errors and misfits in the last model. Some were compelled, by distinctly different cars in one single year and tag them in appearance and name as the original present year's model. Inconceiveable mistakes were paid for by the unfortunate buyer. More than twenty manufacturers have now attempted to produce a car at about or a little above the price of a certain popular car, and all have learned that their manufacturing fa- cilities, buying power, overhead -ex- pense and selling cost will not per- ! mit of such a price if they produce a | satisfactory car. fail financially proceeded to manu- Those who did not facture the car and offer it at prices 'ranging from $600 to $1,200.

Do you care to spend your money to test the car and then.see a new model of the same car produced within a few months after you buy yours? Have you ever attempted to obtain a repair part for one of these orphans? Have you ever asked the pice of such 'parts as can be found? The Ford Motor company have manufactured the present model "T" Ford chassis for 12 successful years, and if you have a 1908 Ford car the present parts will fit it. The car won its way to the top by its proven value, This could be gain- ed only after the Ford car had prow- =~ en by all the tests that time and the pFeatest number and VAfiety of uses and abuses can impose "its superior worth." It had delivered to users what they demand in a motor car. Why consider taking a chance? Order your Ford car today.
