Wednesday, Nov. 27, the Wilmette Woman's club held its regular busi- ness meeting, preceded by a luncheon.

Reports from the different officers and com- mittees were read; also very interest- ing reports by the delegates to the state federation meeting at Aurora, Mrs. Helen Gage and Mrs. Ira Jones. Mrs. John D. .Grieg and Mrs. Herbert Mackie reported to the club of the work of the Cook County league. This is a strong organization and is a power for good. Mrs. Theo. Breyer's report of the Tenth district federation meeting was read by Mrs. Mannerood. Mrs. Edwin Drury, assisted by Mrs. John T. Ling, were hostesses for the day. The financial condition of the club is very encouraging. Seven hun- dred and fifty dollars has been paid on the building debt this year and a pros- pect of reducing it much lower. Since April l $1,244.50 has been taken in for rentals of the hall. All initiation fees go towards reducing the building debt, and as there have been forty-seven new members, $470 has been raised in this way. Miss Hunt's lecture, which was to have been given Dec. 4, has been postponed to Jan. 8. Mrs. Renj. Gage and Mrs. Geo. Bauman en- tertained the club with songs and reci- tals Wednesday, Nov. 27.

When the squid is alarmed th« Ink bag that connects with the siphon opens its valve and a cloud of the black fluid Is ejected into the water, where It becomes quickly diffused, forming an effectual bar to pursuit The squids also have a faculty of changing their color with great rapid- ity, and when laboring under great excitement, waves of color seem to pass over them in quick succession. Their motions are extremely rapid; darting along with the velocity of light, now rushing into a school of small fry tall first, turning quickly to seize a victim and press it against the birdlike beak where, by making triangular nips, the vertebrae Is gen- erally instantly severed. It is Inter- esting to note that the bite is always in the same place--the neck.--Charles Frederick Holder. ^WUJlNffS PHAR1 J. bNh^minq0IM(5p.

While in Paris he painted the top of the Eiffel tower, considered one of the most difficult feats in the world to accomplish ow- ing to the great list of the tower. Von Kaenel claims the citizens of this city are not patriotic. "The only flags out here are those on the post office, the high school and the life saving sta- tion.
