On the first of February in 1919 we registered twenty older children at Chicago Commons, and at the present time have a registration of eighty- five. As the work with the older child is just now getting well under waly, this registration indicates a very splendid response on the part of the mothers. Public Speaking Committee The Public Speaking committee has done very valuable work as by giving talks at the Woman's club and various meetings of different church circles we have been able to spread definite information of our aims and work. Visiting Committee The Volunteer's Visiting committee of 18 members supplies four women each week to assist the nurse at the conferences. A party was given at the Commons on December 23 to 450 mothers and children. A juggler and a musical program provided entertainment. Ice cream and cake were served and a Santa Claus gave simple but new toys to over 300 children, all at a cost of $120.

Her vivid individuality their lives. Her vived individuality impressed itself so strongly on all her surroundings that even in the | home she has so recently left, one feels it at every turn, as if she had only moved on a little farther and wanted you to love the things she loved and feel all she felt. Mrs. Greeley was the daughter of Isaac N. Arnold once mayor of Chi- | cago; she spent her childhood and girlhood on the old North side, which meant of course a close circle of in- timate friends in this part of the city, friends many of whom are still | living today. Thirty-one years ago Mr. and Mrs. Greeley with their small children came to Winnetka and there on the ridge on Prospect avenue built that home which had such delightful as- sociations to so many of us, young and old. Here ideals mingled with good times, were given to the little children who are now themselves mothers and fathers of Winnetka babies. Here Mr. and Mrs. Greeley's own friends and often their parents found a warm welcome and happy times full of good cheer, humor and often "up lift" in the new house which had just been started. Christ church was helped materi- ally by Mr. and Mrs. Greeley and the "pastorettes" as Mr. Greeley humor- ously called the young divinity students who were sent to try it out on Winnetka, were often cared for over Sunday by the same hospitable couple. Mrs. Greeley with the most liberal and tolerant views, was always ex- tremely active in the church and for many years served as President of the Woman's auxiliary, keeping in touch with all the larger movements in church work. Og January 21, 1912, Mr. Greeley died and just eight years afterward, Why Do We Always Emphasize Quality? Because the value of anything depends on quality.

During these eight years, in which her faith and power to ever look on the bright side of life, no matter what troubles or losses had come to her, especially endeared Florence Greeley to her friends and it was in this period that her lovely garden in her new home near the Skokie gave her particular pleasure and diversion. It was at this time that she served as president of the Garden club of Illinois. And then on the twentieth of Jan- unary came the end after a hard ill- ness bravely faced. With her strong faith, a faith which she was sure you shared with her, Stevenson's words come to your mind and you murmur the well known verse, "She is not dead, this friend. not dead But in the path we mortals tread Got some few trifling steps ahead And nearer to the end. THT ng OH BOY! GIVE HER Candy | Valentine's Day DUNCAN'S Confectionery TT So that you, too, once past the bend Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend, you fancy dead." --By E. L. S. O. SEVERE TESTS FOR WILLARD BATTERIES "Some idea of the car used in con- struction of Willard batteries may be obtained from the severe elect- rical and mechanical tests which each "jar 'has to' :pass. bheiore it can become part of a Willard bat- tery," says Mr. Carpenter, local Willard expert. "Each one of these rubber jars has to stand a pressure of only about ! 2 volts in actual service, and is care- fully protected Jrom Eiechanical shock. But before these jars can get by the electrical inspector, each one of them must prove a pressure f not a few volts, but of a full 24,000 volts; and in order to make sure that each piece of rubber is mechan- ically strong, each lot is sampled and the sample submitted to a ten- sion of 3,600 pounds to the square inch." THE MOTIVE. All who have meant good work with their whole hearts have done good work. * * * Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.--Robert Louis Steven- son.
