LET THE cau· CB. BELPYOU So:-m parents may have no personal. interest tn the church. Some may feel that tt has no pl~ce in their bu~iness or social life. However, there are few parents who are not deeply solicitous for the welfare of their. children, and ~herefore the influence surrounding them. They are, indeed, unusual parents who do not earnestly look forward to the time when their chil~ren will take their position as participants in the affairs of life. Or who do not sincerely hope that their children may have a better opportunity than they, themselves, have enjoyed. The influence of the church will bring about this result with absolute certainty. Therefore, invest as much of your time and resources, as possible, in the church of your choice. It will bring to you and your children benefits that cannot be derived in any other way. The We-lcoming Hand is Extended at All These Wilmette Churches+++++++++++++++++*++ Motor1Ats Pav Heavily fnr Rad Rnatls. RP.port Motorists pav a bad roads tax eouivalent to 22.3 cents on every g-allon of uas consumed on a poor highwav. The Chicago Motor club renorts that this conclusion · was drawn from experiinents recentlv conducted in Washington, Iowa and North Carolin:J. The figures were based on the premise of a car making 10 miles to the gallon on a rough hig-hway. On a basis of a sueed of 33 miles per hour, the test showed the cost of gasoline and tires p~r one thousand miles over rough roads used in the experiments was $35.10 for an average four cylinder car weighing 3,500 pounds loaded. The cost for th~ same car at the some speed over a very smooth improved road was only $12.80, according to the tests.
