S. last week's issue of News the station for at Gross Point has After enjoying the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Zeutschel for four months we have engaged, painted and settled in new quarters just north of Wilmette ave- nue in Ridge avenue. The new loca- tion is not far enough away from the old to work any great hardship on By As stated in the Lake Shore Child Weliare been moved. the young mothers who frequented | the first station, while it is nearer to | a more thickly populated section to |. the south and west. The work of the station emphasiz- es two facts: 1. That there is ample work in Gross Point, and the township--not included in Wilmette, for the whole | time of a nurse. A school survey should be made and cases of illness of malnutrition reported and attend- 'ed to. The physicians of Gross Point! would thus keep in closer touch with the health situation of their district than is at present possible in a some- what scattered community. The Bureau of Social Service stands | ready with practical help to co- operate to the great and immediate advantage of Gross Point. Station Not a Clinic 2. It must be emphasized that a Child Welfare station is not a clinic. A sick child brought there will be; sent to the family physician recommended to a hospital or te for treatment. On the other hand | the , family physician may well] recommend to a mother keeping | track of her baby's condition by regular visits to the W elfare Station | where the scales and measurements | are accurate; and where an expert Child's physician is giving his in- valuable service and the best possible | advice concerning how to keep child- | ren well. Dr. M. C. Hecht is at the station every Wednesday, promptly at 3 o'clock. Mothers wishing his advice should have there and ready for him a little be- fore that hour, if possible. By the new and approved record system each case is given a numbered card | which must be brought with each | case every time.

Every where you looked you saw the flashes | and heard the rumble of cannons. | Right ahead of us were some big! lisix-inch nasal guns. It:was said there never had been so many guns; in action on.any of the active fronts as there were here, and, from the! | sound, I believe they were right.

Kynoch, This committee, which will be known as the Fort Sheridan auxil- iary, will keep in constant touch with the situation at the hospital, and will co-operate at all times with Field Director Eyerly and the Director of Military Relief in supplying emer- gency articles that may be necessary irom time to time but which cannot easily be purchased. The committee has in each of the north shore towns, a Red Cross rep- resentative who will be in close touch with conditions at Fort Sheridan and will be an authority to whom any- one in that particular community Joyden, 725 Pine 978 Oak street, 520 Green- Central Lake View Lake Bluff, 111. | may refer for authentic information as to the needs at the hospital. Their information will be such that they will be competent . to "quickly ascertain the facts regarding any inquiry that may arise or dis- pose of any rumor that may be circulated. In announcing the organization of the auxiliary committee, the Central Division headquarters of the Red Cross issued the following state- ment: "The circulation of rumors that had no foundation in fact have caused some well meaning people to under- take to raise funds to provide ar- ticles which are constantly on hand at the Red Cross warehouse at Fort Sheridan or which are immediately supplied by the Red Cross whenever necessary. The Red Cross desires to provide everything that may be necessary at Fort Sheridan, either from our own supplies, by purchase in the open market, or acting through the newly formed women's auxiliary | committee. "It will not be necessary for any- | one to solicit funds to help take care of the situation at Fort Sheridan, and we sincerely hope that before any individuals undertake to do anything | of the kind, they will communicate ! with the Field Director for the Red Cross at Fort Sheridan or with one of the Committee of the Fort Sher- idan auxiliary. "Only a sulau proportion of the re turned wounded at the Fort Sher-; idan hospital are confined to their beds and there is not much need of ward entertainment. A complete program of entertainments for each night in the week has been arranged and suitable ward entertainments | attend the others. There is an ample supply of phonographs and records | on hand in the wards and recreation rooms, and more constantly avail- able; there are now six pool and billiard "tables in the recreation rooms and more will be added when necessary. Games which are most! popular with the men have been distributed in large numbers and | more will be supplied, constantly. The Red Cross has provided a band expert who has already organized an | orchestra, instruments are being | furnished by the Red Cross for this purpose and a full band will be or- ganized as rapidly as the men who can play the different instruments are located. Red Cross knitted goods, toilet artiches, razors, underwear and all kinds "of hospital supplies are available in abundance. "The contract hal already been let for the erection of a large type Red Cross convalescent house which will provide an exceptionally fine club room for the convalescent and a place to meet their friends, put on their own entertainments, amateur theatricals, etc. A contract has also been let by the Red Cross for the immediate construction of a nurse | house which will provide an attract- ive and comfortable club room for the nurses stationed at Fort Sher- idan. "A number of women hospital visitors will be provided for the wards in addition to the Red Cross personnel now at Fort Sheridan, and! aside from these it is not desirable to have the patients visited, except of course by relatives or close friends. The men naturally object | to being looked over by a constant | stream of curious visitors, and it is | the hope of the Red Cross authori- | ties, who, in accordance with Gen- eral Army Orders have supervision | of all outside activities in the army hospitals, that the general public will understand and appreciate the situa- tion." DRAFT DELINQUENTS FACE PROSECUTION War Department Officials Will Push Cases against Draftees who Violated Military Orders Strict orders have come forth from the War department demanding the- record of every. delinquent who. in manner, technically or other- wise, failed to comply with draft or- ders. Officials' promise that every case will be reviewed and prosecuted, individually. Several delinquents {are reported. in this district.

Trainlocads of Records Draft officials have estimated that all records, loaded in cars, would make a train fifty miles long. Those of Iflinois would make a train three miles in length. It is expected that final orders to vacate local draft board headquar- ters will be forthcoming within a few weeks. : | | "UNDER FOUR FLAGS" TO BE SHOWN SUNDAY patriotic film "Under Four Flags" will be shown at a Pa- iriofic meeting in Communty House | on Sunday evening, January 26, at 8 'o'clock. This is the third United | States official War picture issued by | the Committee on Public Informa- tion. It shows how America and the | Allied armies battle like Titans upon | the sacred soil of France, while, for | The great time, the Hun hordes beat back the forces of democracy. The rep-| .resentatives of the four flags are; shown at a meeting in the historic | palace -at Versailles to name one] head for the forces of liberty--Gen- | eral Foch--who accepts the gigantic task of winning victory from dis- aster, while our own General Persh- ing gives Americas promise of "force: to the utmost." There are wonderful | pictures of our boys in khaki crossing | the ocean; arriving in harbor; ad-! vancing into battle. There are scenes at Chateau Thierry, where thel Americans helped turn the tide of war; at Soissons, where the tri-color floated in triumph; and farther north where Britain and her sons stood with their backs against the wall till | the Hunnish power broke and the tide of invasion receded never to re- turn. Ttaly's defiant work on the Piave is shown when the assaults of | Austria were shattered and Venice was saved. There is no admission | charge to this meeting.

The occasion was | the annual get-to-gether of the busi- ness men of the township. The principal speaker of the even- ing was "Uncle Steve" Sumner, or- anizer and head of the Milk Drivers' spoke of the value of organization and co-operation among business men, which he compared favorably with the excellence of organization in the unions. Takes Slap at "Weed" Sumner opened his the request that every man in the banquet hall lay aside the fragrant after dinner havana, and followed the request with a well planned at- tack on the "weed" and what he con- sidered its companion, "booze." He then told of the successful campaign against smokes and strong drink at the banquet tables of the Milk Drivers' Union. He stated that even while he was speaking the Milk - Drivers of Chicago were sitting at a smokeless and strong-drinkless banquet. Urges Boycott Method Sumner urged a determined cam- paign with the object of securing every business man in New Trier Township as a member of the Com- mercial association. He said meth- ods of Unionism, in other words, the "Boycott" should be applied to busi- | ness men who fail to enter into the co-operative: body, just as it plied in the case of Union organi tions. He declared a business man who permitted customers to become delinquent was equally to blame with the man who fails to meet his finan- cial obligations. He closed his ad- dress by urging that every "dead- heat", so-called, be driven off the north shore. This, he emphasized, could be accomplished only by co- operation of the business men as- sociated in a strong organization. J. R. Gathercoal, one of the officers of the Commercial association spoke briefly of the value of the associa- | tion to the individual member and its importance in seeking out "dead- seats." Leo M. Dean, president of the organization was chairman of the | occasion. A - JUDGE FINES LLOYD $25 AND COSTS Bross Lloyd, CHICAG William 830 Sheridan (road, recently socialist candidate for { United States senator, was found guilty Thursday by a jury in the Chicago courts on a charge of dis- orderly conduct. He was fined $25 George Koop, who accompanied him the day he was arrested last November while | circulating alleged socialist literature from a car in the loop decorated with. a Red flag, was assessed $1. Louis Wade, Lloyd's chauffeur, was found not guilty. \ Attorneys for Lloyd and Koop made 2 motion for a new trial which | was granted. Collection of Rubbish Many persons do not appear to understand that the rubbish collec- tion service being operated by the Village is available to all house- holders, free of charge, once. every two weeks. The only condition is to be collected. comprising tin cans, bottles, and similar waste, must be placed in a container outside of the building. on 'the day when the collector calls. This does not include garbage and ashes, for which a monthly charge is made for collection. Any householder may receive in- formation concerning the day when collection will be made by calling the i Village office, Winnetka 860. Special collections of rubbish will be made on Saturday, upon request, in case the householder does not wish to wait until the regular collection day. Do not wait until the spring "clean- up" to dispose of the rubbish ac- cumulated in your basement. H. I.. Woolhiser. Village Manager. address with
