Jackies from the Great Lakes Naval training station and Grant park had the time of their lives last Saturday night in Wilmette. It was the third of the recreation evenings arranged for them by the recreation committee of the Wo- man's National Council of Defense, headed by Mrs. George, Shirk, and the entertainment was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fernando Cuniberti, 116 Ninth street. Following a musical program, in which Frances Kennedy, Chicago favorite, was the stellar attraction, the north shore girls, receiving a gen- eral introduction to the jackies, "cap- tured" the nearest sailor and the big crowd whirled its way to the street where the evening was danced away. One of the features was a three- act play, "Where But in America," written by Oscar Wolfe. Miss Helen Cooke and Miss Grace Robinson | were in the cast. Other entertainers were Josephine Treat, Gwenn Pear- sons and Dorothea Sylvia. EEE EE SCHOOL SURVEY FINDS Dr. Bobbetts Recommends Better Co- Operation for Teachers. Dr. J. F. Bobbetts, who conducted the survey of schools in Winnetka in the spring, has submitted his report, with some recommendations. Bobbetts' survey reads as follows: "One does not realize the serious- ness, even tragedy, of the situation until one goes into classrooms and He in ounce-of their energy in tempts to teach right things lack the leadership and assistance which they have a right to demand. ~ "Let those in authority do their work efficiently before they attempt to dismiss teachers because the lat- ter are inefficient. "The perniordial inefficiency, for many years the tap root of all other inefficiency, has been with those who have been responsible for the lack of organization and responsible leader- ship within the system. "Speaking of the course of study, which, in many cases, leaves the mak- ing of an outline wholly to the teach- ers, and makes no suggestion. One wonders what the overhead manage- ment is supposed to do, when they hand over their responsibilities in this way to the teachers without at- tempting even the form of direction or supervisory assistance to the teachers in their work." EE mR LEACH GIVEN SHOULDER STRAPS IN RESERVE ARMY Glencoe Athlete Is Stationed at San Antonio as Lieutenant. William B. Leach of Glencoe, who earned many honors on the gridiron while playing with Chicago Uni- versity eleven, has been awarded a commission of first lieutenant of the ordndnce department, O. R. C.

"Card Bombs" North Shore Aviator Warns German Soldiers of Real Issue Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr. of Kenilworth, Ill, former Chicago newspaper man, and sergeant in the Lafayette flying squadron, which par- ticipated Saturday in the night raid over Germany, has been assigned to the special duty of dropping into German trenches cards addressed to German soldiers. These cards deny German prisoners are mistreated by the French, urge Germans to cross "No Man's Land" and surrender, and warn that since the United States entered the war no chance of German victory exists. A letter just received from Camp- bell says the cards have resulted in scores of German desertions and the A. C. Campbell, Jr. kaiser has ordered shot any soldier who picks one up. Cruelty Charge Denied. This is a translation of the mes- sage: A 3 German Soldiers: Your officers are telling yon lies when they say the French mistreat German prison- ers. We are not inhuman.

The United States has offered the Allies its fleet, its people and its enormous wealth in order to overthrow Germany's power. Does any German with good judg- ment still believe that your govern- ment can destroy the whole world? Kaiser's Doom Sealed. The entrance of America in this war is the result of the failure of your government, the just punish- ment for the unlawful U-boat war- fare and the enslaving of the Bel- gians. There is just one thing to do be- fore it is too late: Come over. You kno wthat you are all well taken care of by us and always will be recognized as brave soldiers.

Mrs. Emil C. Butz, 702 Washington avenue, is more than likely to be called upon by officials at Washing- ton to demostrate the baking of bar- ley-wheat flour bread, as set forth by Food Administrator Hoover in his advices to the housewives of the United States. E. C. Butz of the E. C. Butz Grain company brought a loaf of his wife's barley-wheat bread to the board of trade in Chicago on Saturday and it was divided among the members, who pronounced it excellent. The recipe, formulated after sev- eral experiments by Mrs. Butz, fol- lows: Five cups of wheat flour, one cup of barley flour, one cup of water, one cup of milk, one tablespoon of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of melted butter or lard, and one-half of a yeast cake. Mrs. Butz became interested in ex- perimenting with barley as a food because of Mr. Butz's work in the conservation of the wheat crops of the United States.

Pocket picking has been a favorite pastime for the crooks who are wont to hover about the transfer point, where they are certain to find bustling and preoccu- pied travelers at almost any hour of the day or night. Evanston police have always maintained a strict watch at the plcae, but arrests have been slow. EVANSTON WAR COUNCIL WANTS MEN FOR FRANCE Wilmette Man Is Picked for Trans- port Service in Europe. The Evanston War Council an- nounced this week that a committee would consider more applications for the volunteer service of transport drivers in France, a number of ap- plications have been received from the north shore towns for this serv- ice. These positions are open to per- sons rejected under the draft for some slight physical defect and yet capable of giving good service and desirous of helping the allied cause. Among those recommended for this service was Everett H. Wilson, 727 Greenwood avenue. Applications for this service may be made at the Ev- anston office of the war council, 1551 Sherman avenue. 8-0. 8 §.

DISTRICT QUOTA IS FILLED Board Accepts Enough Men to Fill Quota on Second Tests. "At the rate we are going, there is a strong possibility we have more men qualified for the national army than our quota calls for," said George V. Pope, chairman of the local ex- emption board, late this afternoon. "The report of the transfers, those men examined in other cities, is very gratifying. Many of these made no claim for exemption and, as they passed the physical test, they are qualified to serve. "We are now getting ready for the mobilization of the first division men, who will entrain for the Rockford cantonment. We are expecting or- ders to call the men for September 5, and we are making plans to care for those who will report on Sep- tember 4." First Call Expected. The first call for members of the new national army is expected by the members of the exemption board this week. One hundred men will go on the first call, which has been set for September 5. The headquarters" for the new soldiers will be in Wilmette "during their wait for orders to en- train for Rockford. -As the exemption board must -in- clude in its duties the mobilization of their men to fill the quota for this district, they are making arrange- metit§ to care for the men while they are waiting in Wilmette for the final orders to entrain for the Illinois The biggest problem in caring for the men will be the furnishing of beds for those who do not live in the village for the night of September 4. The people of Wilmette will be asked by The Lake Shore News, on behalf of the exemption board, to show the right kind of patriotism during the mobilization of our men by offering lodging for one night to one or more of the new soldiers when they report on September 4. The exemption board has made ar- rangements to furnish the necessary meals while the men are in camp at the local headquarters until they leave for Rockford on the following day. The men drafted in Wilmette will be allowed home liberty during the mobilization period. Under Army Laws. When the drafted men receive their notices to report at the local head- quarters they are immediately placed under military rules and regulations. Every one notified must report at the time stated in the notification in or- der to comply with the military law of the United States. Men, who fail to report when notified, will be ar- rested by government officers and taken to the nearest army prison, which, in this district, will be Fort Sheridan. The men notified must consider themselves as soldiers under orders from the government and they are just as liable to military discipline as the men now in the federal service or fighting in France with General Pershing. The lists of the men accepted, those discharged and the claims for ex- 'emption are being completed by the members of the exemption board for the district board. George V. Pope, chairman; Robert Goddard, secre- tary, and Dr. Rufus B. Stolp, the phy- sician member of the board, keep of- fice hours from 8 o'clock in the morn- ing until midnight, in serving the men from this district who are eligible for service. | =F. 0-0-0.
