THE EVANSTON ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS CARL SCHEFFLER, Director Carlson Building Tower, Church and Orrington Telephone Greenleaf 1674 New Locomotives Great Aid to Freight Transit Facilities of the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee railroad for handling carload freight business have been increased with the placing in service of two additional locomotives of a new type specially constructed for the "Road of Service." The feature of these locomotives is their double source of power--trolley and storage battery. The trolley is used on the main line and all other trackage where overhead power con- nections are afforded. Use of the storage battery for moving freight on industrial sidings and switch tracks without trolley connections greatly in- creases the flexibility of operation. An economical feature of these locomo- tives is the fact that the storage bat- teries are recharged from the trolley while the locomotives are in service | on the main line, Kildeer Club Members in Membership Campaign Members of the Kildeer Country club held a dinner at the North Shore hotel, Evanston, last week to cele- brate the "club completion campaign." The occasion represented a send-off to the members who are launching upon a membership campaign. It is the plan of the club to dispose of all remaining unsold memberships within sixty days. Kenneth IL. "Tug" Wil- son, athletic director at Northwestern university, was the toastmaster. Two hundred and seventy-five members at- tended the dinner. Stage Dance to Obtain Funds for "Lindy" Bust A High school dance will be given at New Trier High school this Satur- day evening under the joint auspices of the New Trier Tri-Ship club and the New Trier Girls' club. The proceeds from the dance will go toward a fund being raised through such affairs for the purpose of pur- chasing a large bust of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, which is to be mounted in the new High school gymnasium. Little Symphony Adopts Musical Instruction Plan George Dasch and Karl Schulte, di- rector and manager, respectively, of the Little Symphony orchestra, which this week gave the final concert of the current New Trier Orchestral as- sociation series at the high school auditorium, announce the establish- ment of a Department of Musical In- struction under the direction of Walter L. Larson. The growing interest among young people in the study of orchestral and band instruments has prompted the formation of this new feature in con- junction with the Little Symphony, according to the sponsors. Instruction is to be given at head- quarters of the orchestra at 218 S. Wabash avenue. Members of the or- chestra will serve as instructors and the tuition cost will be moderate, it is explained. The following instruments will be taught by members of the Little Sym- phony orchestra: violin, viola, 'cello, bass, piano, harp, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn trumpet and cornet, trombone, tuba, timpani and percussion instruments, saxophone and banjo, as well as all the band instruments in general use. Director Larson, a member of the orchestra, has enjoyed wide experience in the music school field.
