First National Bank ·············· of Wilmette The magnitude of the motor tourist movement in the United States and the record figures it is expected to reach in 1927 are shown in a report received by the Chicago Motor club from the Ameican Automobile associatio.n which estimates that: Forty million people will spend their vacations on the open road this year. This great migration of nearly a third of the nation seeking health and happiness will move ·in 10,000,000 motor cars. Approximately $3,300,000,000 will he spent during this great flow and counte.r -flow of humanity. The figures represent an estimate that the 1927 touring season will show an increase of ten per cent over last vear. This estimate is based on reports from touring bureaus of the 862 American Automobile association affiliated clubs throughout the nation. The report of the Ame.r ican Automobile association to the Chicago Motor club says: "Of the ten million automobiles that will go touring this season, a third will carry camping equipment and be used for outings of a month's aver age. T,,·o-thirds of the caravan will remain en tour about ten days hut will depend on hotels for accommodations. It was calculated that the camping brigade would spend about $1.000,000,000 or $10 per day per car, and that the parties frequenting hotels will spend three time as much per day, which would bring their total to approximately $2,200,000,000. These figures are regarded .as conservative, and the total 1 expenditure may run as high as three and a half billions." r ~ AUCTION Tuesday, April 26th, I I A.

The first half of this prog.ram will 1Jc devoted to works of Beethoven 111 commemoration of the centennary of the death of the composer. The "Sea Symphony" has made a profound impression in Englathl, where it has been heard for a number of years. It has been pronounced one of the greatest compositions that has been produced in recent years. It is by R. Vaughan \Villiams, an Engli-;h composer. One reason why it ha., never before been heard in the Unitrd States is that there are in this country so few large choruses which arc capable of presenting such a large work in a satisfactory manner. More attention is paid to choral singing in England and there arc a number of choruses there which arc able to present such a work. Its reception on the part of the members of the North Shore Chorus indicates that it will enjoy simi)ar popularity in this country after it becomes known. The soloists of the evening ,..,·ill be Florence Austral and Horace Stevens. · The symphony is written for choru.:, full orchestra and two soloists, sop.rano and baritone. The chorus ha s a great deal of singing to do and the:-e arc great variety and contrast in the effects that a.re ca lied for, w 11 ich ra ng c 0~0 o~~ from pianis simo to fortissimo.
