od i Jocial Happenings : Wwinnetka.s Hubbard Woods. LH i fim: rx, wulff] 0 QTE a ian A sammie; forecast of summer activities along the north shore is con- tained in an announcement from Mrs. Frank R. Greene, of Prospect avenue, president of the Ravinia club, that club members are already at work on plans for disposing of r Saturday before July 4. Women who will direct the ticket sale in various north shore towns are Mrs. Edgar M. Snow of Highland Park, Miss Jessie Col- vin of Lake Forest, Mrs. Warren J. Burke of Glencoe, Mrs. Greene of Winnetka, Mrs. Hugh Foresman and Mrs. Mark Cresap of Ken- ilworth. ; The first of the series of lectures on "Political Education" is to be held next Friday afternoon, April 9, at the Winnetka Woman's cinb at 2:15 o'clock. Professor H. C. Secrist will speak on "How the Nation is Financed." Women from all of the clubs along the north shore are vitally interested in politics these days, and the course of lectures coming just at this time is going to be very popular. Of interest to many New Trier students is the announcement of the approaching marriage of Miss Hazel C. Wickum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Wickum Nilles, son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Nilles of Evanston. of Yakima, Wash. to Elmer E. The wedding will take place tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at the Evanston hotel. Mr. Nilles attended New Trier High school, and has many friends on the north shore. The young couple will take an extended honeymoon trip through the west and northwestern Canada. &- v At the meeting of the Winnetka: Woman's club on Thursday after- noon, Mrs. E. V. L. Brown read a most interesting report on the meet- ing of the Tenth District held in Waukegan a fortnight ago. A part of her report follows: "At the afternoon session of the Federation of clubs of the Tenth District of Illinois, Mr. Stephen A. Lloyd of Wilmette, Mrs. Hart, pres- ident of Women's clubs and Mr. Hill were the speakers. Mr. Hill, who represented the Urban League an or- ganization of colored people in Chi- cago, was the principal speaker. His plea was for public equality and social justice, not social equality of the American Negro. He said that fnasmuch as women had. brought about such important things as pro- hibition and suffrage they must bend all their energies to the passing of the lynching law, now before Con- gress. This is a measure making lynching a federal crime and all the northern influence is needed to push it through. The colored people want the criminals brought to justice, but they demand justice for them as well. He said that 12 to 15 million color- er people share the feeling that the desire to understand them is not fought by the people in power. He said there is no such thing as a negro problem. It is an industrial problem. Since 1910, 90,000 colored people have come to Chicago, and 65,- 000 have gone into our industries, saving some when other labor was impossible to secure. In 1915 not a negro held a clerical position. Today there are 1100 girls in clerical work. The South says they are idle and shiftless. Statistics show that they form one-seventh of the labor of the world. The North says*they are delinquent. Can they be otherwise, considering the housing conditions offered them? Does not one condi- tion depend upon the other? During the war no houses had been built for anybody, certainly not for the in- vasion of the colored people. Where are they to live? West of the Stock- yards is so far closed to them, to the east is the lake. the north side has no industries, so there is nothing left to them but the south side--and trouble. They must live somewhere. and not in the tumbledown shacks offered to them, to save themselves and us. According to Mr. Hill, Governor Lowden knows, and Mayor Thomp- son knows that things are again on the verge of a much more serious outbreak than ever before and ac- ition. not more investigation 1s needed. He says the American Negro rep- resents true Americanization. They have been kind and loyal to us in- du trially and in the war. but the 'Aniericans have not been kind and Joyal to them but have played with them as a cat with a rat. He suggests as a possible solution that we follow more closely in our relation to them the ten Command- ments, the Golden Rule, and the Con- stitution of the United States and that we women through a more human undersanding and sympathy for them create a public sentiment toward the negro which would in turn inspire them with a feeling of 100 per cent loyalty toward us and the Constitution of the United States." As this is Vacation week for the children and high school students, many of them are taking advantage of the opportunity to visit the Bird House Exhibit which is now being held on the Ninith Floor of Marshal Field and Co. The houses are many and varied and their construction easy enough for any manual training student. After exhibit the houses are to be presented to the Forest Preserves where they will be hung in that part of the school nearest the school from which they were sent. The whole idea is for the pro- tection of our wild birds and the conservation of our trees. And this can best be brought about by teach- ing our children to love and care for the birds. ---- The marriage of Miss Marjorie A. Sutherland, daughter of Mrs. Gert- rude Mason, to Carlton K. Gould, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Gould of Wilmette, will be solemnized on Monday evening, April 5 at 8:30 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother, 5103 Kenmore avenue, Chi- cago.

The spring migration of 57 varieties of birds to the spacious attic in the Village hall has begun and employes of the Village are being cheered in | their work by the plaintive notes of numerous songsters Each year the birds have used the attic storeroom of the old building as their summer home and a great variety of birds have taken advantage of the facilities afforded for home-life, which, con- sidering the housing shortage, is rather fortunate for the birds. -- aS NO LUCK Some of us never do have any luck.
