~ WINN , oi) we ETKA WEEKLY T Nearly Everybody In Winnetka Reads The Talk ALK VOL. VIII, NO. 23. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1919 SIX PAGES PRICE. FIVE CENTS Lieut. Roswell Hayes Fuller Bariad by Germans at Brandeville, Mother Told Mrs. Frank Fuller; 362 Hawthorne lane, has at last, after nearly a year 'of waiting, received authentic news of her son's, fate and of his last mis- sion. This information came in part from his comrade Lieutenant Henry D. Lindsley who was also his room mate at Yale and who was himself missing, injured, and rescued from No Man's Land with concussion of the brain which lasted some weeks. Another source was a fellow officer, lieutenant d'Olive, who was twice decorated. Tieutenant Roswell Hayes Fuller, in the First Pursuit Group of the 93rd Aero Squadron, fought through the St. Mihiel, where the aviators were of necessity greatly overworked, and where their losses were extreme- ly heavy. Shortly after, and without time for rest from the nerve strain, they were moved up to Vaucouleurs near Verdun, and realized that they were in for another great drive. Battles Enemy Squadron On the day before the Argonne- Meuse attack, it became necessary : i for the American command to know | by which'of two roads the Germans were' coming out. of Metz. These roads ran side by side for a cer- tain distance, and then diverged widely under cover, so that it was impossible to get the information by aerial photograph. The only way to secure it was to send aviators down low to see with the naked eve. Lieut. Fuller and Lieut. Rumrfell (since dead) were the first to volunteer, and made the journey of nearly onz hun- dred miles over enemy territory. They secured their information, and when they were attacked both from the air and the ground, Lieut. Fuller gave his companion a signal to fly for France with the news, and he himself engaged the entire formation. When last seen he was circling in a duel ith three enemy planes, with others coming to the attack. The War Department has, without success, made every effort to discover his fate, and Cross has made a special through every hospital and in Germany. Message Long Delayed possible the. Red search prison Mrs. Fuller has recently, however. | received a letter from a lieutenant of Field Artillery in France, addressed to the friends of Roswell H. Fuller, Madison avenue, New York City. This fell into the hands of a group of studio workers where there was a young girl named Winifred Fuller. She happened to be absent the day the letter arrived, and a friend open- ed it and recognized the name as that of a missing American Aviator who had friemds in Ossining, New York, and so she sent it on to them, and after passing through six differ- ent hands it reached Winnetka. The French lieutenant wrote that he had been recently stationed in Italy and while there had met an Italian who was brigaded with the Austrians near Metz, and that on September 30, 1918, he had been present at the funeral of a young American aviator who was shot in battle by the Ger- mans and buried by them with. full military honors in the cemetery at Brandeville. He also mentioned that his papers were turned over to the military authorities at that place 20 that his name was Roswell H. Fuller. The young lieutenant who went so far out of his way to do an act of great kindness, wrote in concluding: "This letter may be of no special service, but if by any chance I should be of use in bringing new informa- tion to the friends of one who has made the supreme sacrifice for his country, I shall consider myself high- ly rewarded for this slight effort." COL. REILLY ADDRESSES HIGHLAND PARK LEGION A royal welcome was extended to Col. H. J. Reilly, of Winnetka, com- mander of the famous "Reilly's Bucks," when he addressed the Dumaresq Spencer Post of the Am- erican Legion Wednesday evening, August 13, at the Highland Park Army and Navy Center. Col. Reilly said it was the duty of every true American to study American prob- lems from the standpoint of their merits instead of making them the melting pot of politics. While a man may have been a good soldier in military life he should be a like soldier in his citizenship whether national, state or local.

Ful- ton of Winnetka, originator "of the 'Conservation Clothesline," and speaker for the National Council of Defense, is writing series of articles on the subject of the Household Economics! and the proper solution of problems of ! se keepin e follov 1(¢ | Th is the beginning of a series of icles which will appear from time to time in. the columns of {this paper: | By Mrs. Frank D. Fulton | The greatest problem in relation {to the operation of the home is ob- | taining some one to assist the house- | wife in doing the necessary work. | Inability to obtain assistance is not | because of lack of compensation nor {of proper working conditions. There are plenty of .women who { would be glad to work in the home | if it were not for the social strata to | which they are relegated. Many ex- | cellent cooks are working in stores, | shops, factories and offices bzacause {of the accepted difference in social | position between .girfs who work in {such places and girls who work in { homes. Work in the home should be class- {ed as the highest form of employ- ment.. Nothing is more important. | It is where we raise our children, pre- | pare our food, make our clothes, and | where we sleep, and it is the place | where the mother and children spend t substantially all of their time. The making and maintenance of the home is the principal object of all men and women. The wife is | responsible for the conduct of the | home, the same as the husband is responsible for the conduct of his | business. | Home Manager To Blame The husband has no. difficulty in getting assistants in his office, and | this assistants cost him much less {than the wife pays for assistance in the home, yet it is impossible for the wife to get some one to help her in the home. The reason for shortage of help in the home is chargeable, in most instances, to the manager of the home. The man occupies a position of { authority, as a rule, because of his lability to direct others. The wife is | placed in charge of the home for the result that the foreman of the house knows less about its management and the work to be done than the employe who is assisting. The work in a modern house, with all our conveniences, is a pleasure and not a hardship. The cook, whether she be the housewife or helper, has her own private bath and pleasant sleeping quarters; she can turn a knob and light the*gas range instead of having to build a kitchen fire: she pushes a button and begins to iron, instead of heating the irons on the stove and walking to and from the stove to the ironing board as the iron be- | comes cool. She presses a button and cleans the house with a vacuum cleaner in- stead of the old-fashioned broom; she has an electric washing machine and mangle instead of the old-fash- ioned washboard and washtub, and she has many other devices to assist in saving time and labor. If, with these facilities, the work is done in a methodical and intelligent manner, it will not be burdensome. The husband has done his part by contributing to the modern home the facilities mentioned, and the solving of the problem of how to operate the home is squarely up to the wife. To solve this problem satisfactorily she must learn to do the work in the home and in addition learn how to intelligently direct others. Many women can prepare excellent meals, but they cannot properly di- rect the cook, and they will not let the cook prepare the meal without direction. In many instances too many cooks not only spoil the broth but they spoil the whole meal. "Must Educate Ourselves" I suggest that in trying to solve the problem of assistance in the home we start by educating ourselves, We must learn to look at old-fashioned housework from a different view- point. We do not hear the successful business man talking about how he abhors and hates his work, or wishes he could leave it, but we do hear these exprzassions from many women in charge of homes. The successful business man, if he discusses his business, will tél" you how much he enjoys his work, and how prosperous his business is, and what competent employes he has, and if the women would take the same at- titude toward their home work it would aid somewhat in solving our problem. We ought to consider our work as being on as high a level as the work of our husbands. We ought to consider that our employes and co- laborers rank as high as the employes and co-labordrs employed by our husbands. Use Business Methods We must run our homes on a busi- ness basis and use business methods. The business man has his work sys- tematized. He knows each day when he goes to the office exactly what he is going to do. We should put our household upon a business basis, and we should have definite plans for each day. We should have a. schedule, and this schedule should be in writ- ing. Do not stand around and dictate after your orders are given. When you have made your plans for the day, if your helper finishes the work quickly, do not add something to the schedule merely for the purpose of keeping her busy. If your helper knows at the start of the day exact- ly what is to be done, and also kndws that if she does that work quickly and efficiently she will not be called (Continued on Page Two) HOLY NAME SOCIETY IN BIGGEST MEET OF YEAR The largest crowd in the history of the Archdiocesan Union of the Holy i Name society is expected at the next | quarterly meeting to be held in Holy | Angels hall, Oakwood boulevard and | Vincennes avenue, at 3 o'clock, Sun- { day, September 7.
