Following the example of Dodge Brothers, who were among the first to establish the flat rate system, many other organizations are planning or completing similar arrangements to increase service efficiency and reap the good will of car owners. "Our flat rate system was started over a year ago and is now used by the majority of Dodge Brothers deal- ers. They advise that this system has made it possible to practically elim- inate friction between the car owner and the dealer on the subject of serv- ice charges. Advising the car owner o fthe cost of service work in advance, convinces him that many charges, which in the old days were regarded as-excessive, were-really~jq^ftedv-Few car owners have any idea of the amount of labor involved in making TervTcgnrepairs. -Iirtlre installatsoTttyfr^i??*7~ a* very small amount of new material, it is quite possible that the necessary labor will cost a comparatively large sum of money. "The car owner is certain to benefit through the installation of the flat rate system because there is now an incentive for the dealers to study short-cut methods and install labor saving devices. This will allow him to increase the volume of work oassing through his service station, thus de- creasing his overhead cost. The sav- ing permits him to lessen his flat rate charges to car owners and at the same •time make a fair business profit. "With an efficient service station the dealer is in a position to meet the competition of inferior, inefficient re- pair shops, and construct a continuing contact with the car owner. This re- sults in a better mutual understanding and eventually eliminates from the mind~if his patrons, the idea now so prevalent, that service stations are places to be avoided because of un- fair charges. The dealer has no-desire to make his profit through exorbitant charges on a few service jobs which drift to him because the car owner knows no other place to go. "Our experience with the flat rate plan is such that we look forward to the Atime in the near future wheiL every Dodge Brothers car owner will patronize a Dodge EU^thers Approved â€"Service Station-QfierjaledJby one of our_ â€"dealers. In such service stations' they ^^ will be sure of receiving prompt, cour ^Jitous^econbmical and efficient sefvfee Through efficiency in the operation of the service station, brought about by flat ~raie method, the car owner will obtain lower prices than can be ob- tained in unapproved, unsupervised, independent service stations.**!;::^ _ .;..i___. Abandonment of the Monroe doc- trine by the United States will be de- manded at the fifth session of the Pan-American conference that is to meet in Santiago the last of this month, according to the prediction of Isaac J. Cox, professor of History at Northwestern university. Failing to obtain this concession from the Unit- ed States, the conference will request a plain definition of the Monroe doc- trine or a statement that the United States renounces all intention to ob- tain control of or to annex any of the Latin-American countries. Prof. Cox, who^ returned recently from a~six=monfhs tHp through South and Central America*, made his forer cast in an address at the Y. W. C.-A'. vesper service, Harris Hall, North western university campus, at 4 o'clock last Tuesday afternoon. Prof. Cox also said from hi& .observations time would soon show the need of a canal through Nicaragua, construc- tion of which is again being consider- ed in Washington, D. C. Prof. Cox said the canal should be built. To citizens of the United States, P*of. Cox learned, the Monroeâ€"Doe- trine means one thing. To the peo- ples of Latin America it means some- thing different. They realize that the influence of the United States dom- inates all of the countries at least as far south as the Panama canal. This dominance is due to commercial and industrial interests. Die like 'Patronizing' "The smaller countires," Prof. Cox said, "say 'yes, it's all right for the United States to be a guardian over us~"aW"prevent European aggression, but who's going to watch the guar- dian?' The larger nations, such as Brazil, Argentine and Chile, have gained independent positions and do not like a patronizing attitude of the United States. Therefore the time has come when it appears something may be done, unless the delegates from the United States succeed in sidestepping this issue." The United States, aside from in- dustrial activity can help these coun- tries by sending farm and transpor- tation commissions to educate the people, teaching them to engage suc- cessfully in agriculture and then help- ing them get their products to mark- ets. This Prof. Cox thought would counteract somewhat the fear of eco nomic dominance througli-lwg--corpOTa- ations with eventual political control when these interests deemed it ex- pedient or necessary. Other important issues are on the conference program. Want American League The statesmen of the Latin-Ameri- can countries feel that through par- 'ticip&tion in European affairs the United States is drawing the whole hemisphere into the continental mud- dle. This is against the will of the South and Central Americans. To counteract this movement the presi- dent of Uruguay is prepared to pre- sent a plan for an American League of Nations as distinct from the League of Nations conceived at Versailles.* Entrance of Canadaljntojin agree- ment with the other nations of the Americas also is generally approved, la__ey.ejDlu_aJjy will be recognized as an independent naton he predicted, pointing to the recent halibut fisheries treaty with the United States" as an indication of the trend. Her entrance, Prof. Cox said, would bring into union another nation with the view point -of the United States and would allay the mistrust by the Latin-Americans of the United States. Concurrence of the United States and Canada in de- cisions, Prof. Cox said, would prove the disinterestedness of the Washing- ton government. An effort also will be made. Prof. Cox forecast, to take the arrange- ment of the programs for the confer- ence out of the hands of the United States, whose secretary of state is an ex-officio member of the arrangements committee that includes the repre- sentatives in Washington of the Lat- in-American countries. To this end the conference may be placed on a conventional or treaty basis, providing an independent organization and reg- ular meetings. Mexico will not participate because of a feeling that the conference is merely an instrumentality for the United States to^further its economic dominance to the south. LIFE AS A CHALLENGE II GIRLS HI-Y SUBJECT "Life as a Challenge" is to be the general theme of the Girls Hi-Y con- ference in session Saturday 'of this week at the Evanston Woman's club.

Included in the 22 cases are two of chicken po* one of scarlet fever, two of measles, four of mumps and thir- teen cases of whooping cough.
