WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1920 -_ New Trier High Notes a I NEW TRIER TAKES TWO GAMES IN LEAGUE MEET Thornton lights were swept off their feet at New Trier Friday even- ing by the combined rush of Ker- shaw, Lusted and Tucker being held for more than three quarters of the game without a point to their cre- dit. The final score was 34-1. The lightweights were without the assistance of Rand or Smith but were too strong for the boys from the north. Tucker played the best floor game taking the jump at center with skill and following it through with a smashing attack which netted the team a number of baskets. Kershaw and Lusted also contributed their share of baskets while at guard Fleming and Parker were invincible Until the final quarter when Thorn- ton dropped a free throw the game was all in favor of the New Trier boys. With Rand and Smith with them the lightweights will be one of the sensations of the Suburban league. Watch their smoke! The heavyweight tussle began with Thornton taking the lead for several minutes but relinquishing it before the" first quarter was over. In the second quarter the Kenilworth boys took hold of matters and at the end of the first half led 18-9. The third and fourth quarters were repetitions of the second period 'the gong ring- ing with New Trier hanging up the first Suburban league scalp 30-20. Richards and Varney undoubtedly were the stars of the heavy tilt. Ted played a fast game and annexed his usual share of baskets while Varney's dash and vigor swept the Thornton forwards off their pedestals. His long, snappy shots to the New Trier end of the floor bronght forth ap- olause and favorable number of times. His throws were responsible for many New Trier las: kets. Ile annexed four baskets him: self and if he continues to shine in his present form will probably finish at one of the league's stellar for- wards. pn EDITORIALS WITH "PEP" The editorials of the New Trier News at New Trier High school were punctuated this week with re- quests for class yells and more news from the athletic department. The sporting page is always filled but that is not enough. The editor also wish- es suggestions as to entertainment after lunch. But the best editorial of all is the one urging everyone to back the plan for the building of the proposed memorial to Major 3 AE Vattman, who was a member of the High school board for twelve years. -- SWIMMING NEXT FRIDAY New Trier's crippled natators will compete with Evanston this after- noon at the Evanston tank. The team will endeavor to hang up the shield in the offices of the New Trier ath- letic department as in past years. Morton will come to New Trier next Friday for a meet. SCHOOL HANDBOOK OUT The New Trier High school hand- book, containing rules and regula- tions for the student body, and the school yells and songs, is being distributed among the students.

It was the monthly Church dinner in the church halls and the men of the congregation prepared and served the "eats" to the women. The occasion was a joyous affair. Two hundred and seventy-five res- idents participated in the banquet and, according to latest reports, were still in the "pink" today. Dr. Donald M. Gallie, funster, act- ed as toastmaster. Singing was in charge of "Charlie" Adams, Dr. G. F. Butler, noted physician and psyco- therapist, spoke on the "Prophylaxis of Laughter". Miss Bertha Whee- lock spoke on the timely topic, "Oh, Man". With wood so scarce and high, maybe it would be a measure of economy to leave the ex-kaiser alone until the winter is over.--San An- tonio Light. comment a | The Public Health By Harriet Fulmer Health First--Low Taxes Afterward Odds and Ends Health. about Public An important law in JIowa--why not in Illinois?

CONGO HUNTER REPORTS SEEING THE BRONTOSAURUS Meet the Brontosaurus. Some day they may have him on show in Bronx or Lincoln parks, so far as anybody knows. A Belgian prospector in the deep- est reaches of Congo saw a Bronto- saurus, and shot at him and brought back this discription. The Brontosaurus is on the rhin- ocerous order, with large scales reaching far down its body, it has a very thick kangaroo-like tail, a horn on its snout and a hump on its back. The Smithsonian Institution had heard of the beast from previous explores, and ot one time sent an expedition in search of it, but several of its members were killed in a rail- way wreck.

Funeral] services were held Sunday, January 18, from St. John's Lutheran church, Rev. Herman W. Meyer officiating. Burial was at Me- morial Park. Mr. Zolk had been ill two weeks. Mr. Zolk was born in 1842 at Ber- gero, Pomerania, Germany, and at the age of 21 years, emigrated to America, taking out his first citizen- ship papers at once and ccttlina it Manitowoc, Wis. At thc time country was torn by civil war and when another urgent call for volun- teers went out, Zolk enlisted, was ordered to report at Madison, Wis, and was there assigned to K com- pany, 2lst Wisconsin volunteer in- fantry. This regiment soon after joined Sherman's command and with it Zolk took part in the memorable march to the sea, as well as in Sher- man's subsequent operations in the Carolinas. The deceased related that in one engagement only 90 men out of 900 in his regiment returned from the battlefield. At the time of President Lincoln's assassination Zolk was stationed at Alexandria, Va. He had often re- lated that while he was not present at the actual capture of Booth, he and other members of his company, who were under orders to scour the country, arrived upon the scene shortly after Booth's capture. After sixteen months in the army, Zolk was given his honorable dis- charge on July 18, 1865, and shortly after settled in Tolleston, Ind. In 1888 he moved to Wilmette and built the home at 1325 Wilmette ave- nue, which he occupied until his death at the age of 77 years. Sur- viving him are his widow, three sons and one daughter. In the funeral address, which was based on Ps. 7324: "Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward | receive me to glory," his pastor, the Rev. Herman W. Meyer, pointed out that Mr. Zolk had been a "veteran" in more ways than one--a veteran of life whose age and judgment we re- spected, a veteran of the Union army for which we duly honor him, a vet- eran in God's army, whose memory we hold sacred, a veteran Cross- bearer, whose Christian patience we ought to imitate, a veteran and founder of the local Lutheran church and a veteran citizen of Wil- mette, who rendered long and faith- ful service to his church and to his state. 1,250,000 DEPENDENTS; : FAIL TO SAVE There are 1,250,000 dependent wage earners in the United States because they could not or would not save during their working days. The sup- port of these costs $220,000,000 a year. Save! Even the old artifice of making faces at the coal-cart driver fails of its purpose in these degenerate days. --TLouisville Times.
