These men crossed the seas for you. The Department of Disaster Pre- paredness. Three times in less than one year this department showed its ability for quick action. When in- cendiary fires back of the yards drove 603 people into the streets, the Red Cross furnished 1,079 garments and adminstered food and money to start anew. After the race riots, when 20,000 colored men were tem- porarily idle, the packers offered to underwrite expenses, if the Red Cross would distribute supplies. The quick relief given not only kept many from starvation, but did much to quiet unrest of 20.000 idle men. When a tornado struck Melrose Park and vicinity, the Red Cross ap- propriated $10,000 for first relief, opened stations and co-operated with the local committees in the furnish- ing of food, clothing and shelter, and later helped in the distribution of §243,683.87.

SIX YEARS OF HOXEST. EFFI- CIENT AND ENERGETIC SERVICE WELL* PERFORMED SHOULD EN- TITLE! TO RE-ELECTION P. J. CARR AS TRUSTER OF THE. SANITARV DISTRICT OF CHI- CAGO. Six Northwestern university stu- dents escaped with only a few minor injuries from what might have been a serious accident when the auto- mobiles in which they were riding collided in Sheridan road, near Fos- ter street, Evanston. L. P. Couffer, together with Marie Fisher and Duncan Rockhold, were driving south on Sheridan road be- tween Library place and Foster street. Elizabeth Cutler, Edith Huey and Henrietta Calkins were driving north. There was considerable traf- fic on the street and at that point there was a heavy smoke from the burning of leaves along the side. Both drivers were apparently blinded by the smoke and a head-on collision resulted. There were no serious accidents Torrens Facts Things You Ought to Know About the Torrens System WHY JOSEPH F. HAAS SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED RECORDER OF DEEDS AND REGISTRAR OF TITLES Soon after Joseph F. Haas was elected Recorder of Deeds and Re- gistrar of Titles, he found that the Torrens system was being conduct- ed for the benefit of a small coterie of men who were the recipients of rank favoritism. They claimed to be friends of the Torrens; system, but their friend- ship was based upon what they could get out of it and not on what they could do for it. That •these men are willing to spend thousands of dol- lars in trying to defeat Joseph F. Haas for re-elec- tion only brings up the query "How much more do they expect to gain for themselves by his defeat?" These men who pose as "friends" of the Torrens system in 1918,went before the County Board and asked that no appropriation be made for the newspaper advertising there- fore considered essential for ex- tending and promoting the Torrens system. A private monopoly could ask for no better friends than these men who have made it possible for it to advertise in the daily papers ,»very day. while the Torrens sys- tem cannot spend one penny upon such advertisement. The only ad- vertisement which the system re- ceives today is the ability to deliver the goods. The boom years of the last demo- cratic administration were from 191 X to 191 fi. Taking the six months period ending June 1, 1913. as a starting point and the six months period ending May 31, 1920, for com- parison, it will be found that the number of documents filed during those six months periods has jumped from 4276 to 8983. the "number of certificates issued has lumped from 2626 to 4882, the num- ber of transfers from 1903 to 3308, the consideration for those trans- fers from $3,034,624.97 to $5,023,- 7S2.00 the number of trust deeds fil- ed from 14 44 to 2567, the amount se- cured bv those trust deeds from $3.- 07O.96O.si to $8,863,414. In other words the work of the office is near- lv double, while it has been handled in a manner that has secured the commendation of the Chicago Bureau of Public Efficiency. If work is clone carelessly or negligently it will be reflected in navments from the indemnity fund. $1,285.67 has actually been paid out of the indemnity fund for errorsdur- ing the last administration, as com- pared with f.%2.75 paid out for er- rors dyring the administration of Mr. Haas. In addition thereto there are claims aggregating several thousands of dollars now pending for errors made during the last ad- ministration, on which payments will have to he made. Compare this with the $52.75 paid out during this administration. During the seventeen years and eight months in which the Torrens svstem was in existence prier to this administration 67.572 docu- ments were registered. During the three vears and ten months of the administration of Mr. Haas f>4,8fl« documents have been registered. In addition 2544 decrees have been en- tered. In onty eight cases have the rulings of examiners of title under Mr. Haas ever been disturbed by court order. In the opinions rendered bv the Supreme Court of Illinois at "the June. 1920, term, the Supreme Court either allowed re- hearings or modified its own i opinions in nearly one-third of the cases decided by it. In view of this the record of Mr. Haas and his assistants is a remarkable one. He is proud of his record and justly so. What Joseph F. Haas stands for is for security of the registered owners and the indemnity fund of the county of Cook. He does not stand for carelessness and neg- ligence merely to allow certain r«al estate brokers to earn fat com- missions. to any of the occupants of the cars, but both cars were badly damaged. "You ought to read the newspapers and get a different opinion." "Opin- ion ! Good Lord, man, I have three already." Save Cook County! Michael L. Igoe, candidate for State's Attorney, will drive crim- inals from Cook county, and there- by diminish crime. He will smash organized vice and root out neigh- borhood itemptations which are a menace to our boys and girls. Chicago Is fevcing a very grave moral cris- is. Our men and women must decide by their ballot whether crime shall be sup- pressed, criminals punished, and wastrels in public office held to strict accountability for their acts. Do you want the forces of evil that are responsible for the appall- ing vice and crime conditions in Cook county to seize control of the machinery of the criminal law? That is exactly what they propose to do if they should be successful in electing their candidate for State's Attorney. Tour sole reliance for the main- tenance of law and order, during the next four years, will be your State's Attorney. If he should be the creature of the forces that are responsible for our existing mis- fortunes, then, indeed, our situation will be hopeless. Is it not a matter of enlightened self interest, therefore, that you vote for the candidate who is free from evil alliances, and who is pledged to employ all of the great powers of the office for the safe- guarding of the loved ones in your homes and the protection of your civil rights and property. Let us save Chicago by voting for Michael L. Igoe for State's Attorney. £H ^ ^y; .= iM as How it Grows WHEN fifteen telephones are added on a street on which there are 100 telephone users, an additional distribution cable may be necessary, » When the same thing hap- pens on six or eight nearby streets, served from the same cable terminal, there must be new main cables from terminal boxes to the exchange. Such increases from several localities soon call for additions to switchboard and terminal room facilities. Finally a new exchange, with its costly equipment^ must be built, and extensive re-distnbution made of the outside plant. These are some of the eiements which enter into the cost of supply- ing telephone service to growing communities. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY C. H.
