WINNETKA TALK March 12, 1927 LEE Says: THE professional SIDE of the drug BUSINESS represents ONLY a small per cent OF our volume, but SOMEHOW or other WE consider it the MOST important, and I BELIEVE we work HARDER to keep up THE standards of OUR prescription DEPARTMENT than any OTHER part of our BUSINESS-- WE have three REGISTERED pharmacists HERE at the store, AND at least one of THESE men is on the This Week Special Brick Cream "HOOT MON" Butterscotch 8 Vanilla 50c¢ Brick JOB every minute of THE day, from opening UNTIL closing time, AND even then our SERVICE doesn't stop BECAUSE an emergency CALL will always GET a prompt response. ADAMS PHARMACY excl Stwre Elm & Linden The WINNETKA 2 A ATE EAR Rotarians Hear Discussion of Rail Conditions The importance of maintaining the standard of equipments of the rail- ways in the United States was dis- cussed by C. D. Morris of Chicago, representative of the Western Rail- ways' committee on public relations, in an address before a meeting of the Winnetka Rotary club, which was held Friday, March 11. According to Mr. Morris, rapid and efficient operation of the railways and the present high average of effi- ciency on the part of railway employes can only be maintained by a continued investment in new and improved ma- chinery. Some six billions of dollars have been invested in railway im- provement in the past decade but this has been despite an apparent dispo- sition of the American people to limit the ability of the roads to pay a fair return upon the capital invested in them. In the year just closed, Mr. Morris stated, the western railways earned a return of but 4.45 percent upon the money which they have invested and this represented the highest 'figure which they have earned in the last six years. This situation must come to an early end, Mr. Morris contin- ued, if railway investments are to continue. Annual Mardi Gras Ball Given by Art Students (By Robert O. Johnson) The thirty-third annual Mardi Gras ball given by the Art Student's league took place on Tuesday evening, March 8. The pageant which provides the main entertainment of the evening was presented in the Goodman Memorial theatre. Under the direction of Ro- man Bohnen and Hildur Ouse, it took the form, this year, of a Carnival of the Ghouls, an adaptation of the me- dieval legend that on the night of Mardi Gras the King of the Ghouls shall be elected and choose his queen from the realm of the living. Against an appropriately colorful and weird setting the ghostly activities were ef- fectively presented by the art students. After the performance there was danc- ing in the Hutchinson Wing of the Art Institute where the walls were decor- ated with grotesque masks and post- ers.
