December 1, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 43 GREAT WATER SUPPLY PROJECT NEAR REALITY (Continued from page 20) strations. Because we are in business to make money we can reasonably be expected to conduct our affairs with that efficiency which usually differen- tiates privately owned from publicly owned businesses, seeing to it that our customers at all times get first class service. "The Greater Chicago Lake Water company invites every village which is not yet acquainted with its manage- ment and plans to make a thorough in- vestigation of both. "Prcatically every western suburb of Chicago is growing rapidly, and there is not one of them which can say with certainty that its present wa- ter supply will be adequate in two or three years from now. We are sure we have the best proposition for any village whose water does not meet its present or future needs, and we as- sure all communities that if they will make a deal with us right now we will start construction at once. We could start next week if we had the con- tracts." Mr. Thrasher, according to Edward M. Fox, vice-president of P. W. Chap- man & company, Inc, has been se- lected as president of the Greater Chi- cago Lake Water company because of his 25 years of experience in construct- ing and operating large public utili- ties.

N. U. Ranks Holmer Among Greatest of Football Notables Capt. Walt Holmer, one of the great- est fullbacks ever turned out at North- western university, and who ranks as one of the leading fullbacks in the country this fall, has a number of brilliant accomplishments to his credit. During the season just closed the Wildcat leader did all of the punting for his team with the exception of a few boots at the close of several games when he had been removed. He punted 55 times for a total of 2,420 yards giving him an average® of 44 yards per punt. This includes a num- ber of punts at kicking out of bounds rather than for distance. He completed 43 passes out of 84 attempts for a total of 561 yards giving him an average of 14 yards gained per pass. These were practically all the passes tossed by the Purple team since Holmer did over 95 per cent of the passing. The big fellow was equally success- ful in hitting the line. In 146 times he carried the ball he gained 441 yards for an average of 3.02 yards. For those who like their statistics the following dope will be of interest. Northwestern completed 49 passes for 628 yards during the season for an average of 12.8 yards per pass. Their opponents completed 33 passes for 419 yards for an average gain of 12.6. Northwestern made 100 first downs to their opponents' 56. The Purple scored 65 points to their opponents' 43. The Purple backs carried the ball 405 times for 1,331 yards for an average of 328. Their opponents totted the oval 299 times for 963 yards for an average of 3.22 yards. In total yardage gained including both runs and passes, Northwestern gained 1969 yards to their opponents 1,424 yards.

Shoes must be constructed to allow for the support of the child's body in the way that nature intended, without causing the foot to become deformed. Next, it is necessary that the manu- facturer build the shoe in the way the designer intended. He must put into the shoes the proper materials and workman- ship and see that the features of the design are carried out in the product. Most important of all. however, is that the shoes, when purchased, be fitted by someone who knows how. : ee RO a SELECT CTCTTTTTTTFTTTCTTTTTTITT TCT TTTTTTP 'INC- | | Evanston Store Hours--8 to 6
