I WILMETTE LIFE 6 · liakts4nrt lp4nlsttriug &ltfinis4Utg C!tn. FINE CABINET WOR.K ~ · LACQUERING SHOP: 1124 GREENLEAF AVE. (In r,.,.) ENAMELING Lintolri Steffens John Ling, 87. Old to Speak at . Club Wilm· ette Resident. on Election Night Dies Last T hursda:v John Ling, a resident of Wilmette for forty-two years, passed away at the Church Home for Aged Persons, 5445 Ingleside avenue, Chicago, last Thursday, October 25. Funeral services were held there on Saturday ~f ternoon at 1 :30 o'clock. Burial was private at Memorial Park c~met.ery. Mr. Ling, who was m hts eightyseventh year, came to America from Hull England, when a lad of nine year;. He received his early education in the schools of Albany, N. Y., and Clinton, Ia., coming to Illinois in 1864 when he began the study of law at \Vheaton college. From 1870 until 1926 Mr. Ling prac· ticed law in Chicago. He was one of the oldest members of the Chicago Bar association, and his name appears on the honor roll of that organization. In the early life of the village of Wit· mctte, Mr. Ling took an active part, and he maintained his interest until his death. Surviving him are his wido~, Mrs. Anna Hall Ling, of Chicago, a daughter, Mrs. Frederick Norman, and two grandsons, John F. Norman, and ]. Marshall Ling, of Wilmette. The Woman's club of Wilmette has started an innovation by entertaining the members, their husbands an5! friends Election night. The ~lub house will be open to the guests from 7 o'clock on, with card tables ready and a splendid radio turned on so that all retqrns may be received. At 8 :30 o'clock Lincoln Steffens, the well known reporter-writer and lecturer, will talk dn "Dictators at Home and Abroad." Mr. Steffens sees foreign countries as the future of America, M ussolini an exaggerated political boss, the Russian Revolution an extreme reform moyement. China's fate, he considers the fate of all nations, even our own, unless we can learn to profit by the experiments of other peoples with our problems. This viewpoint, which regards other continents as laboratories, not only brings one the tragedy of current history, but suggests a basis for a science of politics. His lectures are free, face to face re· porting of interviews with dictators, with premiers and with mobs. They are vivid, humorous, moving attempts at understanding. He · is accused of chang~ng his mind but pleads that he cannot himself face new facts all the time without drawing new conc1nsions, which, by the same token, he present5 as also tentative, to be considered, not swallowed. In brief he has no convictions to enforce, only facts, inci..: dents, stories, to be thought over in the mood of his variety of title:.. 1Ir. Stefiens has reported what is called foreign news for years, covering the w~rs and the revolutions, G:e peace conferences and the auempts at reconstruction abroad in American term~ and with a sense of their meaning to Americans. He is very much of .a humorist and can cleverly ml.ke the driest facts interesting and he will add a spice of humor to the eler.tion 1 tturns. Mme. Alvene ·Resseguie, well known contralto, a member of the Nor~h Shore Musical society and soloist las~ spring with the North Shore' M u:;ic festival, will give several selections during the evening. After the lecture coffee will be served and the card tables and radio will be at hand until the last returns are in. George E. Tarnow, 126 Fourth street, will return Friday from a trip to southern Illinois and Iowa. TEL.
