2 =m EE mE WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1917 mE Em Em PUBLIC SERVICE TO BUILD NEW STATION 'Public Service Company Seeks Per- mit from Wilmette Board to Build Sub-Station Near Terminal. SPECIAL POLICE CALLED Extra Men Assigned to Care for Pic- nickers in Village. Frank J. Baker of the Public Serv- ice company appeared before the Wilmette village council on Tuesday evening to explain plans for a new sub-station, for which the company seeks a permit to build near the ele- vated terminal in Wilmette. A number of property owners, hav- | ing homes and vacant lots near thei site selected for the new plant of the Public Service company, entered a protest against the building of the proposed station on account of the noises which they held would be part of the new building. Mr. Baker assured the council that the new building would conform with every requirement of the village and that its appearance would not be ob- jectionable as a commercial build- ing. After studying the plans of the building and hearing the protests of the property owners, the question of issuing a permit for the building of the building was delayed. Referred to Attorney. Albert C. Wenban, village attorney, was appointed by the president of the board, Edward Zipf, to report at the next meeting in regard to any legal question the granting of such a per- mit would involve. He was also asked to check on the frontage consent for such a building. Special police will be placed at the elevated terminal to control the large crowds of picnickers who take ad- vantage of Wilmette and the lake shore on Sundays and holidays. Chief of Police Sieber was instructed to place more men at the station, fol- lowing a number of complaints which were sent to the village board. The village officers will supervise a check which is to be made on all passengers boarding the North Shore & Milwaukee Electric railroad in Wilmette next week. The figures of this check will be furnished to the village board for their information. The board passed the annual tax levy which amounted to $51,542.50 for the fiscal year beginning April 17, 1917, to April 15, 1918. An ordinance regulating persons desiring to conduct junk shops and second-hand stores was passed by the board. The new ordinance requires a license fee and certain restrictions are made for the buying of zrticles. SRB RF KENILWORTH IS CALLED BEST OF WAR VILLAGES Ranked High Among Communities : for War Activities. Kenilworth blossomed out as the premier patriotic community of the nation in a number of press dis- patches last week. An idea of the efforts of the citizens of Kenilworth to be of service to the nation may be observed in the following items of record: Out of the full list of young men eligible for registration in the na- tional army only six were exempted because of physical disability. Three Kenilworth young men are in the aviation corps; two are in the cavalry, twenty are members of the reserve officers' training camps, five are training for the navy in the Great Lakes station, one is in the ma- rine corps, one is in the American field ambulance service and one in the engineer corps. Kenilworth's ranking officer is Maj. Franklin Martin of the national council of defense. There are two captains, two first lieutenants, seven second lieutenants, and four young men of the village are in active field service on the French front. |B -0.-0.-§ Navy Changes System. Business men of the country are to supply the government, so far as the navy is concerned, for the con- duct of the war upon a wider scale than has been possible through the Council of National Defense, it is announced tonight. Officials of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States and Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, paymas- ter general, have worked out a plan by which trade bodies of a national, state and local character will receive HELPS SOLDIERS Winnetka Girls Knit Colorful "Afghan" for French Wounded Margaret Boyden (above) and Rachel Foster. rs TipoucH the bright days of sum- mer, Margaret Boyden and Rachel Foster, Winnetka 14-year-olds, have made their crochet needles fairly glisten as they thrust them in and out. Now "it" is finished--a strik- ingly colorful "Afghan" coverlet, destined probably to keep warm some sick or wounded soldier "somewhere in France." The "Afghan," made in squares of color, is declared to be a remarkable piece of work for 14- year-old hands, and was exhibited at the French shop, 60 East Washing- ton street. The girls are chums and do all their work together for the Red Cross. Margaret is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Boyden, 725 Pine street, and Rachel's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Foster, 657 Spruce street. Ravinia by Mrs. Frank R. Green HE leaving of Miss Mason caused a pang of regret in the hearts of many people who fre- quent Ravinia Park on opera nights. She had grown in favor and popu- larity with all. Her singing and por- trayal of the character of "Mimi" in "La Boheme" was as delightful and satisfying in character as we ever hear during the winter' season of opera in the city. While we shall miss Miss Mason, we may consider ourselves extremely fortunate in hav- ing Mme. Rappold of the Metropoli- tan Opera company to take her place for the remainder of the season. Mr. Eckstein, with his usual success and good judgment, has secured a most acceptable substitute for Miss Ma- son. Mme. Rappold will make her first appearance on Saturday night, August 25, in "Aida," and later she will appear in "Faust" and "Il Trova- tore" and "Carmen." Friday afternoon, Student-Artist Day, Miss Isabel Cline of Kenilworth and Mr. Gilbert Ross will be the solo- ists. Friday evening "Mignon" will be given. Saturday afternoon a con- cert by the orchestra and on Satur- day evening, "Aida," with Mme. Rap- pold, Miss Ingram and Messrs. Kings- ton, Picco and Scott in the cast.

Precautions against alien visitors and possible spies in the second of- ficers' training camps are to be es- tablished and rigidly enforced, ac- cording to Fort Sheridan orders. The order extends also to the mobiliza tion and concentration camps throughout the country. In the past, all visitors have been admitted freely to watch training. In the future, it is to be the rule to place under arrest any alien or sus- pected German sympathizer who is caught within the five-mile limit re- cently ordered by the War Depart- ment. The enforcement of the new order will mean that alien residents of the north shore towns near the camp will not be molested as long as they obey the local federal mandates. But they will be prohibited from entering the government reservation. The order includes the banishment of all persons who are not American ship of one of the nations at war with Germany or not. 0.8.0. -§ OFFICIALS WILL MAKE PRICES FOR ALL FOOD Experts Meet in New York to Dis- cuss Price List in U. S. Representatives of the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange confer- red with Herbert Hoover, the food administrator, today on the stabili- ation of sugar prices in the United States.

The prices contemplated range from $6.75 to $7.50 a hundred; or from 1 to 1%; cents under present: quotations. No settlement, however, was reached. .
