8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1921 LOCAL DELEGATES TO ATTEND GOOD ROADS CONGRESS ROAD MACHINERY EXPOS Cook county is being urged to make suitable provision for sending delegates officially to the Twelfth American Good Roads Congress and Thirteenth National Good Roads Show to be held under the auspices of the American Road Builders' associa- tion at the Coliseum in Chicago, Jan- uary 17, 18, 19 and 20 next. | The mayors of more than 5,000 American and Canadian cities and the boards of commissioners in 3,000 counties have each been asked to ap- point from three to five delegates. In many cases the delegates will be head- ed by the mayors and the commis- sioners themselves. An exhaustive program dealing with the latest methods developed in the construction of all types of roads and streets, safety on the highways, road taxes, street assessments, highway ITION, COLISEUM, CHICAGO bond issues, road administration and maintenance, traffic regulation, high- way transportation and numerous other subjects of vital interest to the officials who deal with public tho- roughfares, as well as contractors, engineers and good road advocates generally, has been prepared. Twenty thousand delegates are expected to attend the congress. _ The big exposition of labor saving machinery, methods and appliances, which will include many things that are new, will be the greatest of the kind the world has ever known. Enough space has already been en- gaged by exhibitors to fill the Coli- seum and Annex, breaking all pre- vious records for this exposition and making it necessary for the Road Builders' association to lease adjoin- ing buildings in order to house the overflow. ""Nest Egg" Brings Forth Real Saving Ex-Senator Depew Finds That His Original "Nest Egg" Had Be- come Substantial Sum. Saving money is not so hard after a person once acquires the habit. The United States Government makes it easy for every man, woman and child to practice Thrift. The start can be made with a dime invest- ed in a Postal Savings Stamp or $1 will open an interest-bearing Postal Savings account or pay for a Treas- ury Savings Stamp. Twenty of these | $1 Treasury Savings Stamps, with a few nickels added, or a postal sav- | ings deposit, can be converted into a Treasury Savings Certificate, paying | $25 at maturity. These Savings Cer-| tificates are also sold in maturity de- nominations of $100 and $1,000. They | yield interest at 4 per cent, com-| pounded quarterly, when held until maturity, and can always be convert- | ed into cash on short notice at more than their original cost. Chauncey M. Depew, erstwhile United States senator from New York, put $100 in a Peekskill. N. Y,, savings bank in 1860. It was his first $100. Maybe Senator Depew found, as many do, that the first $100 proved to be the hardest. Anyway, in spite of strenuous temptation, he refused to draw upon that $100, and, as a re- sult of later prosperity, finally forgot about it. Not long ago Senator De- pew entered the Peekskill bank to greet some old friends and they re- minded him of his "nest egg" On computing the interest it was found that the orieinal deposit of $100 had grown to $800, and owing to the long period in which it had lain undis- | turbed had achieved the distinction of being known as the bank's star account. NO REDUCTION Training allowances for sick and wounded ex -service men will not be reduced twenty per cent, according to C. R. Forbes, director of the Veteran's Bureau, who has informed the Amer- ican Legion that this move has never been considered. Ninety per cent of the 100,000 dis- abled men now being trained receive $100 a month. TO GET AIRPORT Kansas City is soon to have a mu- nicipal airport as a result of the in- terest in aviation aroused by the re- cent successful air meet, held in con- nection with the Américan Legion convention. Action is now being ta- ken by a committee of members of the Flying Club of Kansas City to find a suitable field. FIFTEEN CENT MEALS Fifteen cents buys a meal for needy ex-service men and families at the American Legion restaurant, Toledo. The menu includes steak or chop, po- B. W. BLOW'S PLANS FOR GARAGE FIND OPPOSITION The prospect of a garage at Elm and Locust streets, has aroused the residence property owners in that section to the extend that a repre- sentative group appeared at the Vil- lage council meeting Tuesday evening of this week to enter formal protest | against the granting of a permit to B. W. Blow for the erection of a building at that location for the pur- pose of storing and repairing auto- mobiles. Householders viewed with dis- favor any effort toward commercial development in what they consider a purely residential area and which, they pointed out, is zoned "A" Res- idence in the tentative Village Zon- ing ordinance. Whilé the petition recently circulat- ed by Mr. Blow contained more than fifty per cent of the requisite frontage consents, a considerable number of signers subsequently withdrew their names and joined the opposing home owners. The council took no action in the matter, but announced that no permit would be granted without first giv- ing both sides an opportunity to be heard. FAVORS EX-SERVICE MEN TI x-Service men of the World War who want to be first, second or third class U. S. postmasters are to be giv- en a five percent advance on their civil service ratings and credit for time spent in service. President Harding's executive order putting the provision into effect was recently pro- mulgated at the instance of the American Legion. LEGIONNAIRE-POLICE Following a series of shooting scrapes in and near Wichita, in which two men were shot to death and four others dangerously wounded, 500 members of the American Legion vol- unteered to aid in preserving order in case "of emédrgency. The legion- naires will be available for police du- ty immediately if the trouble with the gangsters becomes acute. --_---- Mrs. Robert Smith entertained at bridge yesterday afternoon at her home, 310 Fairview avenue.

Lue to tne Women. In a lecture before the Royal Mn- stitute, Prof. Arthur Keith, an emi- nent biologist, gave the credit for American success to the women who came over with the Pilgrim fathers. The fact that these Englishmea brought their wives with them is re- sponsible for the remarkably sturdy condition of the American people; whereas the Spaniards who went into Central and South America left their wives behind, and the result is a hybrid race which is not the equal of the original Iberian.
