WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1919 y The American Ideals of Two - of America's Great Suffragists In his address, Mr. Jenks said: "The American flag is in world-wide ascendency. The eyes of all nations may we best honor the flag which stands for the American ideal? By One hundred years ago was born the woman who "wrote the "Battle ~ Hymn of the Republic" to the music of which many an American man has in the last two years marched forth to die for freedom.' Nearly half a century ago, a little while after the Civil war, Julia Ward Howe said to men and women of Massachusetts: . "America is to the nations a house of God--a devinely appointed city of refuge. We have learned some leSsons, we have opened some doors. What one should be and know and intend, in order to come up to the standard of an American, that 'is something which as yet puts most of us to the blush not for being so much, but so little, children of the new world. I cannot see this new world as it ought to be without many changes in what it is. Looking for- ward this great aim of building a Christian state, I see the position of woman as wrong and harmful-- wrong to herself; wrong to society." Mrs. Howe said this after one great war in which America was engaged, and when women had just begun their struggle for the federal suffrage amendment. 3 'After another great war, fought by Americans, the greatest in history,' Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National Ams rican Woman! Suffrage association, said to the men and women of all Amerita: : "They have fought 'over there' for the spirit of democracy. Shall we not give over to them a country in which democracy is realized by aj people speaking one language, read- ing its own ballots and honoring one flag? ; "Is an America, which every citizen ~ may love and under whose flag every, citizen may feel secure, what we, want? Is an America freed from the combined threat of alternative con- trol by aggressive reaction and that of revolution worth while?

After the excite- ment of the home-coming has cooled there is the problem of re-employ- | ment to be faced.: Those who went | as boys have returned as men and the idea of returning to a boy's job does not appeal.

"A man should be a greater suc- cess in the community in which he has lived his childhood, in which he is well known, and loved, than in a great city, unknown and unknown- ing. But it is up to the people of his community to make this success of him." NORTHWESTERN IS FOR EXCHANGE OF WOMEN STUDENTS In the new movement among the collegés to have exchange students between universities in this and for- eign countries, it is believed that Northwestern will be one of the colleges in favor of the 'plan. At the Northwestern alumni break- fast, recently held at Willard hall, Dean Mary Ross Potter, speaking for the women of Northwestern, said she _ believed that Northwestern should take part in this forward movement. Northwestern has already had three exchange students from universities in France. ; The new plan is an international movement inaugyrated under the auspices of the committee on inter- national relations of the association of collegiate alumnae at a meeting held recently at the Women's Uni- versity club in New York and women professors and students are to be ex- changed. Directly opposite the white house, in Washington, a national clubhouse will be established immediately by the association of collegiate alumnae, M: Athert. 1h this work isd the near future.

Edens, Chicago counsel for the Lincoln Highway association, an- nounces that contracts for 9 miles of concrete Lincoln highway have been accepted by S. R. Bradt, state highway commissioner of Illinois, and that the work will be started within thirty days. The contracts let dispose of more than half of the uncompleted portions of the Lincoln highway in Lincoln's state. The many contracts average $27,000 a mile for the 18-foot con- struction from Cook county to De Kalb county and 16-foot construction from DeKalb county to the Mississip- pi river at Fulton, Illinois. The contracts already let for Illi- nois work comprise the biggest single construction program on the Lincoln highway ever undertaken in one year in any states. Bids. for the balance of the Lincoln highway construction were considered too high and were rejected by Mr. Bradt. These sec- tions will be re-advertised and if possible the contracts sold this year.
