Winberg, Star at Kemper, Home for Vacation Season Howard I. Winberg of Wilmette returned last Friday from Kemper Military school where he completed his first year with scholastic honors and with records in various lines of athletics, incuding football, baseball, boxing and wrestling.

In the Market Place bn certain parts of Europe some centuries ago, the farm laborer was wont to stand in the town market place holding a straw in his mouth as a sign that he was looking for employment. Today the uninvested dol- lar places itself i market. As to an it must be offered an occu- pation free from personal hazard, with steady employ- One Policy - ment and attractive wages. In providing telephone facilities for nation-wide service, the Bell System has employed millions of such dollars. The savings of more than halfa million American telephone users, invested in n the open individual, investing. Bell System securities, have built the system that serves them. Theirs is an invest- ment in service, and they ~=sthemselves have served by ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY BELL SYSTEM One System - Universal Service nois farms Modern Motor Must Be Kangaroo, Snail, Bronc Today's traffic jams require a car to be something of a kangaroo and a snail in performance, and something of a bronco in sudden stops. The kan- garoo qualities are necessary literally to jump ahead of the slower adver- saries in the race when the light changes to green, and yet the 1927 car must be able to run smoothly and with- out effort when inching along in traffic jams. When the stop light on the car ahead suddenly looms up and stop- quick is the idea, the stiff-legged halts of a bronco are essential. "Few people realize how conscious the automobile industry is of the increasingly difficult traffic condi- tions of today," says Fred Slack, chief engineer of the Peerless Motor Car corporation. "The demands placed on present-day cars would have been considered impossible a few days ago, but research and advance engineering have constantly provided more efficient and more economical cars as the de- mands multiply. "When we were designing our new Six-60 model," says Mr. Slack, "we built a chassis of 116-inch wheelbase because shorter cars are easier to han- dle, and can snuggle into smaller park- ing places. Realizing that people are spending more time in their cars we used cam and lever steering so that the weight of a finger is all that is necessary to steer this model. We used the standard Peerless Lockheed 4- wheel brakes for quick stopping." acutely Polk Begins Compiling North Shore Directory R. L. Polk & Co. this week began work on the 1927-28 edition of the north shore directory. C. T. Runner is superintendent of the work and he will have his headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce office on Davis street. Upwards of 25 canvassers will work under him. The directory will cover Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth and Glencoe. The direc- tory managers are asking the co-opera- tion of Evanston and north shore peo- ple in order that the directory may be as complete and accurate as possible. The directory canvassers do not inquire into any one's private affairs, but in some households, according to the com- pilers, they are refused such informa- tion as they require. The directory seeks to print the name, address and occupation of every resident 17 years of age or over. An accurate city directory is consid- ered a most valuable asset. At the Chamber of Commerce is one of the most complete libraries of city direc- tories in this part of the country. The public is free to consult it. The Commonwealth Edison com- pany, Chicago, has the largest gener- ating capacity of any electric light and power company in the world. There are more automobiles on Illi- than in any other state except Texas. Money will be made by those who buy in Northfield Junel8 A
