A civic body named by Mayor William Hale Thompson when he assumed office to coeprraie in school matters, alternatives to keep the schools from beine closed be fore more funds are available One was to find a ‘coed angel!'’ who would lend mcney beyrnd the fetal limit for the payment of bills the other was for school employee1, in cluding all the teachers, to go un paid until funds are available. Schools To Keep Gelt ;. All. asserted that the schools would be kept in operation, but most city officials said, that school employees could not be induced to work without pay for three months, Either method of relief, all ad mitted. would be 'only, temporary, for today's figures also revealed that it. has cort about’ $<1,000,000 more a year to send Chicago’s 500. 000 boys and girls to school than has been provided for ,n tax levies. The only ultimate way cut of the situation, one invest:gai.br said, is an increased tax ra'e for school purposes or increased valuations, as the l.m.t, of borrowing has been reached. Credit has been exhausted and some other method is neces sary to keep the schools going. The bud~et for this year was set at more then SlTiOOOTOO for cur rent expenses and the expected revenue was anticipated as more than $45,250,000, but. slow tax pay ments end oVcctTns because of tax Inequalities have left the eollec .tiens several milliens short of an .tidpatiens : while expenses .have rai-ed above the budget expecta tions. T^-mhers Dissatisfied. A meeting of the executive com m'twe of the mayor's advisors ana school and city officials is to be held soon to decide what shall be done. Meanwhile school teacher* w ere dissatisfied because, they were left unpaid over the Thanksgiving holiday. Chicago's school system has been a matter of considerable interest both in and out of Chicago since Mayor Thompson assumed office eighteen months ago. He made a ’ campaign pfcfntee to oust William l Me An drew, former superintendent of schools, and reoraginzed the school board, making J Louis Coath, president, with orders to get rid of McAndrew ! Mr, McAndrew was. suspended for insubordination while charges were fi’ed against him, including, among other allegations, the charge that he fostered pro-British teachings and used histories that were un j American. The trial before the I board of education lasted several The utilities of a city are combined in your motor car YOUR automobile is some* thing like a miniature city. There is an electric light and power system, a water sys tem, a fuel system. In the new Ford, you will find each of these s> terns of the latest design and best materials. Every part has been made to serve youfaith fullv and well at a minimum of trouble and expense. Take, for example, the generator——one of the most important parts of the elee trival system which supplies the current for lighting and for engine ignition. In the new Ford, the gen erator is of the power-house type and is distinctive in many features. It has been specially designed to pre Ten t most forms of trouble, fi ling Is necessary only once a year. About the only thing you need do is to have the charging rate changed as the reasons change. Closely allied to the elec trical system is the ignition system. It, too, is of new mechanical design in the new Ford. There is hut one high tension cable and that connects the coil with the distributor. Even cables from the distributor to the been taken to make the dis* tributor water-proof, thus preventing short circuits from rain. etc. The entire electrical and ignition systems of the new Ford are so simple in design and so carefully made that they will give you surpris ingly lirtle trouble. Yet that doesn’t mean they should he neglected. Certain little attentions are needed from time to time. The storage battery should be given water and the connections kept clean. The generator charging rate should lie changed as indi cated. Spark plugs should be cleaned at regular inter vals. Distributor points should also he kept clean and the distributor cam given a light film of vaseline every 2000 miles. These are just little things, but they mean a great deal to your car. You can have them looked after at very small cost by the Fold dealer when you lake the car ill for oiling and greasing. A thorough checking-np at regular intervals will lengthen the life of your car and give vou manv than er • park plugs have een eliminated. Special care has also sands of miles of carefree,economical motoring.
