'~, ~~~~ Motor Cub AdYocatea § Illinois State Patrol : "Uncle Joe" Cannon is coming out of retirement long enough to make === one speech. What the former czar of Congress intends to say no man knows except himself. He has confided to none, not even his cronies in Danville, among whom be settled down to enjoy life without politics upon his voluntary quitting of Congress more than a year ago. This week occurs Mr. Cannon's eighty-eighth birthday. He was born May 7, 1836. Still chip.per and alert however, and still fond of cigars-at~ though not the "long, black" variety cartoonists credit him with-Uncle Joe has some conclusions based on ~ec:ent public happenings which his mttmates say would make good reading if he chose to turn them loose. Last year Danville and environs closed shops and schools and made a fete of Mr. Cannon's birthday. His chief public appearance this year will be May 16, in his home town. On that day representatives of fifteen counties, strung from Kankakee to Wabash, will assemble at DanvilJe for a regional conference of the lllinois ;;; Chamber of Commerce. One of the subjects to be discussed -= is the Chamber's project, the 11linois Products Exposition, to be held in Chicago in October as part of a campaign to advertise the state. Uncle Joe has accepted an invitation to speak. Sharing honors with him on the program will be Col. George T. Buckingham of Chicago, another favored son of Danville. Whether Mr. Cannon will touch on international affairs and national politics or confine himself to the glories of Illinois is a question his friends will not attempt to answer. "He probably doesn't know himself," said one. "But a lot of things have happened since Uncle Joe assured the world that this country was 'a Hell of a success' and I believe he has formed some interestinjr opinions. If he starts out on Vermihon county products and wades into the subject of Illinois products, I predict that he will be beyond the boundaries of the nation itself before he finishes. Parlor bolshevism is one topic we would like to hear him discuss." angc a the day, · c hoirs, direction wlll 81na preach 011 [~ck.f Tohold Ita vlnla. 011 leave the rn about wlll be e r SEE OUR NEW 1924 wALL PAPER STOCK MARY ROSS POMR IS BACK ON THE CAMPUS Mary Ross Potter, for many years dean of women at Northwestern University, has returned from a year's ,·acation in Europe and has been tendered and has accepted the position of counselor for women at Northwestern. President Walter Dill Scott made the announcement last (Thursday) evening, saying that with the many new sorority houses in prospect there have come U.P various questions as to house arrangement in which young women students are vitally interested and that Miss Potter's long experience is to be utilized in this situation. "Northwestern University has about 6,500 men and 2,500 women," said Dr. Scott, "and we. have given much less attention to the education of our women than to the education of our men. In an atte,m pt to render greater service to our women, several new projects are being contemplated·. The first preliminary to this program is to relieve Miss Potter of all responsibility having to do with the discipline and with the extra-curriculum activities of the women students, and to clothe her with authority as counselor for women to the president and to the deans of the respective schools in matters having to do with the living quarters and the instruction of the women students. "We believe that Miss Potter is ~minently fitted for this new task, and we expect her to accomplish it not only with great credit to herself and distinction to the University, but also with unusual profit to our women students.
