ji 28 WINNETKA TALK April 30, 1927 Illinois Gains in Fight Against the White Plague Illinois won a distinct advantage in the trial of the people vs tuberculosis when it was announced here today by the State supreme judge of vital sta- tistics that the health authorities] would be upheld in their action of slicing 2,000 victims from the 1926 schedule of the great white plague. The mortality per 100,000 population fell from 79.3 in 1925 to 76.3 in 1926, giving the lowest rate ever recorded. This decline represents 216 fewer deaths and 2160 fewer cases of infec- tion than would have occurred under the 1925 rate and is the ninth succes- sive annual decrease in mortality from tuberculosis in Illinois. The Kenilworth Urges Continuance of Boy Patrol in Summer The use of school boy patrols in maintaining order at recess periods, and at playgrounds during the summer | vacation, has been suggested to school authorities by Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "Unquestionably, the boys of the patrol are the leaders of thes safety movement in the schools," Mr. Hayes. "These boys do as much by the good example they set as by their active work in directing traffic. The summer vacation brings a let-down in caution, but the presence of the school boys' patrol in the playgrounds dur- ing the summer vacation will tend to says | keep the children mindful of the les- club will meet at the home of Mrs. | Charles Howe, 240 Kenilworth avenue, | of the patrol during emis -- | sons of safety that they have learned Home and Garden | during the school year.

BORDEN'S FARM PRODUCTS CO. of Illinois WILMETTE 1545 "Service that is 99%% Accurate Pierce Arrow Price Cut Causes Auto Sensation Few automobile announcements have caused such widespread interest as Pierce-Arrow's recent reduction of prices from $355 to $500 on four of the popular body styles in the Series 80 line. The four body models, which include the 5-passenger brougham, the run- about, the 4-door standard sedan and the 4-passenger coupe have held the spotlight of interest in automobile row ever since the price reduction, accord- ing to A. O. Meyer of Tom Hay and Son, local distributor. In a telegram received here from the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co. at Buf- falo, it was revealed that a million dol- lars in orders were placed on the day following the price announcement. Many distributors in both the larger and smaller cities doubled their April and May allotments in order to sup- ply the demand for cars. The unusual high quality of work- manship in the Series 80 models is attracting great attention, especially in view of the lowered prices. All bodies are made by hand in the Pierce-Arrow body factory. The exterior is finished practically any color or color combina- tion desired. The interiors of the en- closed cars are especially luxurious, be- ing upholstered in soft woolens, with silken roller shades, silken toggle grips and velvet carpeting. The chassis is powered with the fa- mous Pierce-Arrow Series 80 six- cylinder engine, developing 70 horse- power. It contains many interesting mechanical devices which are not found on the ordinary car. It costs one and one-half times as much money to build Illinois electric railways as the Panama Canal.
