20 WINNETKA TALK April 28, 1928 DIM THE DASHLIGHTS Night drivers in the fog or rain should keep their dashlights dim, ad- vises the Accident Prevention depart- ment of the Chicago Motor club. A bright dashlight will impair vision by causing a glare which affects the vision of the road. It also produces eye-strain which is tiring on a long night trip. : NOW AT ORRINGTON Mr. and Mrs. William F.

Rathbone, of Kenilworth, Congressman-at-large for Illinois, has just introduced a Joint Resolution for a Constitutional Amendment giving power to Congress to limit and regu- late contributions and expenditures in Primary elections. In this connection Rathbone said in part: "That there is a vital and pressing need for the adoption of such a Con- stitutional Amendment can scarcely be questioned. At the time of the adop- tion of the Constitution the party sys- tem was unknown. It has since de- veloped to immense proportions and dominates American politics. Party nominations have become in all states of great importance and in many states of greater importance than the elec- tions which follow. There is a real menace to the public welfare in ex- cessive expenditures by candidates seeking party nominations, In many instances, especially of recent years, the lavish, and sometimes corrupt, use of money in primary, as well as general elections, has become nothing less than a national scandal. "All thinking persons realize that if campaign expenditures are permitted to continue to be unlimited and un- controlled, it will be practically im- possible for a man or woman of limited means to run for public office. As an inevitable result all elective positions of importance will be held by those who possess great wealth or who, by one means or another, can obtain the vast sums necessary to secure nomina- tion and election." Congressman Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. P. Elmer, 639 Spruce street, returned last week after spending ten days in the East. Mr. Elmer was in New York on business and Mrs. Elmer visited in Princeton, N. J., where she formerly resided. BR The Wilmette Town Club is giving an informal dance tomorrow evening.
