The meeting adjourned at 12 when a lunch- eon prepared entirely by Scouts was served in St. Augustine's church club house. The March junior officers' con- ference will be held at Lake Bluff on Saturday, March 12. Dinner dancing at the Haylofte from 7 to 9 every week day evening was an- nounced by Frint George this week.

One morning recently a passenger on a North Shore Line dining car, after finishing his breakfast, left a note written on the back of his business card. The note read as follows: ) r The North Shore Line gets many compliments on the splendid quality of its coffee, so the note in The other side of the card, however, made the comments of this customer more fine". itself was not unusual.

These Men Give Their Best to You NORTH SHORE men are better employees, and serve you better, because they don't have to worry "on the job". They and their families are protected financially against their illness or disability. So their minds are whole-heartedly on their work. The rock of their confidence is the North Shore Employees' Mutual Benefit Association. Its object is to "provide its members with a certain income when sick or disabled, and to pay to their families certain definite sums in case of death--to create and maintain a fund which shall belong to the mem- bers to be used in payment of benefits to them at the lowest possible cost, considering the benefits received."

Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad Company WINNETKA PASSENGER STATION Baggage Checked Veterans Face Big Loss in Lapses of Insurance Policies Unless veterans heed the warnings of the United States Veterans' bureau and the Red Cross, insurance in the amount of thirty billions of dollars will be lost to the world war veterans for- ever. This is the amount of policies which have lapsed at the present time. The last day for conversion is July 2. There will be no further extension of the time limit, it is stated. More than 4,000,000 persons are af- fected by the closing date, as consid- erably more than that number hold policies which have not yet been con- verted. A bulletin issued by the Veterans' bureau emphasizes the importance of converting the policies immediately, de- claring that after July 2, "all those who have failed or neglected to secure converted insurance have lost for all time one of the greatest privileges ever offered to its defenders by a grateful nation." The bulletin explains that there are seven forms or plans of government converted insurance. They are: Or- dinary Life, Twenty Pay Life, Thirty Pay Life, Twenty Year Endowment, Thirty Year Endowment, Endowment at the age 62, and Five Year Conver- tible Term. All of the 3,500 Red Cross chapters in the United States are pre- pared to explain the relative advan- tages of the various types, and to assist veterans with the technical work of converting their policies. The Chicago Chapter of the Red Cross is co-operating with the Veter- ans' bureau and the American Legion in urging all ex-service men to rein- state their insurance before the closing date.

Invitations to 1,200 high school track and swimming teams to participate in the Fifteenth National Northwestern Interscholastic in Patten gym March 26-27 were mailed out this week. The meet, which last year attracted 500 prep schogl athletes, has come to be regarded as one of the outstanding track and field games in the country. Case Technical high school of De- troit won first place in the track meet last year and Wilmington high of Wil- mington, Del., took first honors in the swimming events.
