'■^0S0:^"0 '*} THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1918 Pill KEANE TO RUN SIX! LOOP LUNCHROOMS Former Chief of Police in Kenilworth ;-;, tc Have String of Lunchroom* ;;'|S :..'■" :' in Chicago.. LEASES SIX BUILDINGS Fine Locations Obtained for Business Houses in the Loop. John Keane, 1621 Oak avenue, Evanston, formerly of Kenilworth, has completed plans for the opening of a chain of quick service lunch rooms in the Chicago loop district. He signed six leases for important locations and expects to close an- other within a few days. Mr. Keane is a member of the mov- ing picture concern of Bodkin & Keane, proprietors of the Strand, Star and Triangle in Evanston and the Band Box in Chicago. Mr, Keane says he is "going it alone" in the restaurant venture. "It is not true," he said, "that I have organized a $2,000,000 company, but I have some strong backers. The lunch rooms will carry my name and all will be located in the loop." Mr. Keane would speak of but one of the leases he has signed, and re- ferred to it simply because the details have become public. He has leased from Charles H. Her- mann, president of the Chapin & Gore company, the store and basement of that company's buildings at 65-67 East Adams street, between Wabash and Michigan avenues- for a period of fifteen years, at a rental said to aggregate $250,000, which is at the rate of $16,666 per year. The spice leased is 80 by 81 feet in extent, and Mr. Keane will expend $30,000 in remodeling the premises, as he will on each of the six other places. "I will have at least three of my places open by May 1," said Mr. Keane today. "Every one of my lunch rooms will be of substantial size. The smallest will have a front- age of 65 feet." Several of the places leased by Mr. Keane are liquor houses. "The liquor men have seen the handwriting on the wall and are getting out. As a result I have been able to sign up for some of the best locations in Chi- cago." Mr* Keane has been a resident of Evanston for a number of years. For a while he was a member of the Evanston police force and he was given a diamond medal for bravery while a member of the force. Later he was chief of police at Kenilworth, but resigned there to open the Star moving picture house in Evanston. He has a wide circle of friends who were pleased to hear of his big loop venture and who wish him suc- cess. U. S. RED CROSS WORK IN ITALY WINS PRAISE Robert P. Perkins, head of the per- manent Red Cross commission to Italy, after an inspection of the Italian front, said : "I had an interesting experience while passing through parts of four armies—two Italian, one French, and one British—and I visited three American Red Cross sections, com- prising twenty cars each, and all do- ing excellent work. "The American boys driving am- bulances arc great favorites with the Italian soldiers. The morale of the Italian, French, and English troops is excellent. In Venice the American Red Cross has fifteen different activi- ties, all accomplishing gratifying re- sults, for which the Venetians show the deepest appreciation and grati- tude. The work in Venice consists of providing meals for refugees, work for soldiers' wives, and food and homes for children. The Red Cross finds everywhere the closest co-opera- tion between the Italian officers and the authorities."

INCOME TAX RETURN DATE IS EXTENDED TO MARCH 31 Extension of time for filing income and excess profits returns from March 1 to April 1 was announced at Wash- ington by Internal Revenue Commis- sioner Roper, this week. This ruling applies also to reports on payments of more than $800 during the year to be made by employers and business enterprises, and covers incomes both above and below $3,000, and corpora- tion incomes. Delay in the preparation of blank forms and regulations was the prin- cipal cause for the postponement. Forms have not yet been issued for excess profits returns of three classes —individual, partnership and corpora- tion; for income returns by trustees or fiduciaries, and for partnership in- come returns. These are now pronv ised for next week. All other forms have been dis- tributed, including those for individual incomes of the classes above and be- low $3,000, corporation incomes, and reports on payments of more than $800, or the so-called "information at the source." The extension of time to April 1 applies to returns by corporations do- ing business on a fiscal year basis. Originally they were required to re- port within sixty days after the end of their fiscal year; this was extended to Feb. 1 and later to March 1. This does not mean an extension of time in which to pay the taxes. Treasury Department officials made it clear that all taxes for 1917 must be paid by June 1. in accordance with the originally announced schedule. E. J. Horan. deputy collector of in- ternal revenue, will be at the Wil- mette banks to answer questions con- cerning the income tax, Mr. Horan will have his headquarters at the Wilmette First National bank on Sat- urdays and at the Wilmette State bank on Mondays. { The Illinois Volunteer Training ! Corps is now forming what is known as a motor , transport train, to be attached to the Illinois Reserve militia. The object of this train is to transport the state troops upon occasions of emergency and for drill- ing formations. There are four regiments of in- fantry, fully armed and equipped, composed of citizens and ex-soldiers of Chicago and suburbs. Should the troops be ordered out by the gover- nor, it will be the duty of the trans- port train to pick up at prescribed stations the troops and carry them to a given destination where the entire regiment is to be mobilized. The members of this organization will- of course, be machine owners and must drive their own cars, and will take the oath of the I. V. T. C, and purchase their own uniforms as prescribed by the State Council of Defense Military Committee. Each car will carry the Q.-M. pennant and company number and the transport chevron will be worn upon the left sleeve of the driver. There will be 200 cars attached to each regiment and 14 cars to each company, the balance to the medical, supply and headquarters companies. Second lieu- tenants will be appointed to com- mand each section of 14 cars, one first sergeant for each section and all en- listed drivers will receive sergeant's appointments. This branch of service gives an op- portunity to men who want to do their bit and at the same time at- tend to their business. It is desired that every automobile owner in posi- tion to enter this service enroll at once. Applications from Wilmette for enlistment for the First Infantry are being received by Captain Lath- rdp Collins at 120 West Adams street, Chicago; for the Second Infantry, Captain Telfer MacArthur, Oak Park; for the Third Infantry, Captain Elias Day, 64 East Jackson boulevard, Chi- cago; and for the Fourth Infantry, Captain Clyde I Backus, 5857 Win- throp avenue, Chicago.

S. is a conclusive proof that they are meeting the demand of the public. A complete survey of the market was made by us, before a decision was reached as to the particular type of car best suited in these days of econ- omy. We spent months of time in comparing, cars for road performance and chose the Chevrolet for being "lightest on its feet." The Chevrolet Motor Co. also has a wide field of cars, both as to size and price. Their fine attention given to details, demonstrates that the Company is building not only for the present, but for the future. Since upon the power depends most of the usefulness and enjoyment of one's entire car, the Chevrolet uses the Valve-in-head motor in all models. When you have tried many cars by the test of com- parison, we ask of you to call on us for a demonstration of the Chevrolet and then you too will have the pleasure "t i ealizing as we did. that the Chevrolet is your choice.
