AT II noon, Monday, March IS,
stock Chalmers scvcn-passenger
touring car with first and second
gears removed, was started north
on Michigan Boulevard through
Chicago traffic.
AT noon Tuesday, March ~,
the Chalmers was stopped at the
starting point. It had gone 586.8
miles through Chicago's densest
traffic. The motor had never been
stopped. Nothing but high gear
was used.
To prove conclusively Chalmers
flexibility on high gear, the low
and intermediate gears were re-
moved from the transmission.
The car was a standard Chalmers
seven passenger touring model,
complete with standard body, top
and full equipment. The same
model you can buy today.

attained, an excellent example of

5s6.S miles, through the famous

piliDg Premium Lists-Gate
Receipts $4,000.

More than $4,000 persons paid adj
mission to the Fair last week, accord
ing to the figures now being complied
by Rodney G. Hhltelaw, SCI rotary Of
the local Fair Association. His figures
show that more than $4,000 were re-
ceived at the gates of the Fairgrounds
Park during the days of the Fair.
The admission fee was Is cents for
each person, children 10 years of age
being admitted free. Taking this into
consideration, it is estimated by Mr..
Whitelaw that at least 10000 persons
visited the Fair this year. This total
exceeds previous years attendance by
many thousands, Mr.. Whitelaw said.
The premium list is now being COM
pleted by the Fair secretary. 1t is be-
lieved that the net profit of the Fair
will approximate $500. Owing to the
fact that the total premiums offered
by the Fair Board are higher this year

proposed business to the Germans.
The Americans took fancy to the
wrist watches worn by the German:
and the Germans craved tobaroo anC
canned goods. According to VorbecK
the Americans gave the Germans to

GIRL FALLS into
RIVER, Is RESCUED

Miss Corine Redman barely escaped
drowning Sunday afternoon when she
fell off the seawall near the foot of
independence street, on which she and
two other girls were seated. She was
rescued by William David and Alvin
Wagner, who were going upstream n
their motorboat.
When the two men saw the girl
struggling in the water they turned
their boat toward the river bank. They
were almost in the middle of the
stream when they were attracted by
the cries of the girls who were with
Miss Redman.
The two men reached the girl Just
as she had given up the fight to save
her life. David seized her by the arm
and pulled her into the boat. The girl
was unconscious. After they worked
over her for a few minutes she re-
gained consciousness and recovered
sufficiently to return to her home on
South Sprigg street.

HALF OF LIBRARY
FUND COLLECTED
Cape to Raise $500 for Soldiers
Manipulating Was Held
Last Night.

The campaign for raising $500 rs
our part of the amount needed to es-
tabish libraries for soldiers is pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. Most people
who have been approached so far have
seen the need Of just such provision
for our soldiers and have responded
generously to the request for money.
One dollar is the amount most often
contributed, but larger amounts have
been given also. The success of the
campaign is assured if the people yet
to be seen respond as readily as those
so far approached.
| Some questions about the campaign
| have been asked which should be an
swered. One of these has to do with
the exact uses to which the money is
to be put In the first place it should
be said that no part of the fund now
being raised goes to pay the expense
Of the campaign itself. The expense
Of the campaign is comparatively light
since the workers have all volunteered
| their services. Such expense as must
be incurred has already been provided
for by the generosity of certain indi-
viduals. The funds collected will all
90 TO the actual purchase of books and
magazines, the erection of suitable
buildings in the various camps and
! the pay of trained librarians to have
charge Of the libraries when estab-
Ilishcd. 1t is believed by those in
! charge of the movement that each
! dollar given will purchase a book,
keep in repair and probably replace
it when it is worn cut. When the SOL
dicrs are sent abroad from the camps
! in this country it is planned to have
these books sent abroad with them.
Another question frequently asked
is whether other nations are making
similar provision for their soldiers.
Germany and England are both pro-
viding librariers for their armies and
their experience has shown that the
books are used and greatly appre-
ciatcd. Our own men who are now in
camps have expressed strong desire
for reading material. Some form a
relaxation from the strenuous work of
the soldier must be provided and no
form of relaxation is better or more
appreciated by many of the men than
is to be found in library of good
reading material.
Solicitors will call upon everybody
in town. 1t is greatly hoped that
those of US who can remain in our
homes while our boys are at the front
will be willing and anxious to do all
that it is possible to make their lives
as pleasant as may be.
A meeting of the solicitors was held
yesterday evening at the Commercial
Club rooms. A number of the solicit
tors were present and from their re-
ports about one-half of the sum was
reported collected. Others who have
aided IN the collection of the library
fund failed to appear at the meeting,
and for that reason, Senator r. B.
Oliver, chairman of the Library Fund
Committee, announced the final meet
ing would be held Tuesday evening at
the Commercial Club.
