Hold Man to Grand Jury on Confidence Charge Earl Pettit, contractor and builder, was held to the grand jury in Magi- strate Mickey's Wilmette court Tues- day of this week on the charge of fraudulently obtaining money through a confidence game. He was sent to the County jail when unable to secure $1,000 bail. _ Petitt, according to the local police, is charged by J. B. Gay, 1004 Michigan avenue, and other Wilmette residents, with failing to pay for materials used in construction work although he re- ceived payment in full from the own- ers. In the instance of the Day case he is said to have received $495 in full payment for the construction of a private garage and with the under- standing that he was to assume obli- gation for all materials used in the work. It was stated that he failed to pay for the materials, leaving responsi- bility for such owner, Pettit was arrested in Highland Park Monday afternoon where he was found by patrolman Peter Schaefer of the Wilmette police after local author- ities were notified of his arrival in that city. REALTY GROUPS SEEK HEADQUARTERS STAFF Plan for the eventual building up of a headquarters staff for each of the seven great divisions of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards has been advanced by the ap- pointment of Arthur E. Curtis, of Chi- cago, to be assistant executive secre- tary of the National association. Mr. Curtis, who is secretary of the Mort- gage and Finance division, will in his new work be chiefly engaged with the activities of the Mortgage and Finance divisions and of the Homebuilders and Subdividers division. He will also act as commission man- ager for the association. Undertaking by the divisions of definite and comprehensive lines of investigation in the specialized fields of industrial real estate, farm lands, property management, brokerage, real estate finance, home building and subdividing and real estate board organization is making necessary the organization of a secretarial staff through which the activities can be directed. obligation with the Annexation Proposition on Kenilworth Ballot At a meeting of the Kenilworth Vil- lage board on February 11, a petition for annexation of the territory con- tiguous to the village, west of the pres- ent western limits and east of Ridge road, was placed on file. In answer to the petition by residents and owners of property in the area which it is proposed to annex, an ordinance was adopted calling for a vote by the citizens of Kenilworth at the next reg- ular election, which will be held Tues- day, April 15, 1924. : NO RED TAPE, DAWES INSISTS Shocks Diplomatists Makes them Like It (From the International Friendship News Letter and submitted herewith But by an interested Wilmette citizen.) It is wonderful what just a few words from one man can do. Gen- eral Dawes's speech has sent a thrill of hope through all despairing Europe --this, coupled with the fact that America is going to take part in striv- ing to stabilize Europe, and a new hope of stability is recognizable there. The incident has its humorous side. The European members had assembled with the exception that the usual ceremonies and formalities associated with diplomatic gatherings would be carried out. The committee would be guarded by soldiers; the proceedings would begin with a great banquet; then the committee would meet for an hour to lay credentials on the table; after that there would be lei- surely meetings for perhaps two or three hours a day, and so on, and so on. General Dawes got them together with no ceremony, demanded to their consternation, that they were to meet three times a day, morning, afternoon, and evening--an unheard of thing and something that took the breath of the Europeans away--and then told them, almost brusquely, that they were there for business and not politics. He caid their motto must be, "not politics, but business." After the members of the commit- tee recovered their breath and thought it over a bit they were all rather pleased with the spirit of the address, and even the French, who have been very reluctant to have any outside nation even discuss this matter, seem- ed to lay aside their suspicions and be inclined to go right along with General Dawes in his insistence on a business-like and thorough examin- ation of the whole financial condition of Germany. The fair-mindedness of General Dawes also bore immediate fruit in Germany, for she at once evinced an eagerness to cooperate and is already striving to make a good showing with a balanced budget by March Ist. One of the British delegates said: "The impression was most favorabic; the beginning augurs well," and the other states of Furope seem to have absolute confidence in the Commission. Red Tape is to be be cut, that is sure. General Dawes began by say- ing that unless the great world public realized the great disaster that faces Europe, unless Common Sense is crowned king, we should get no- where. Common sense is the one thing that has been absolutely lacking in Europé--and America--during the last four years. Every nation has been guided by every policy but common sense. Had we common sense we would have seen -- France, Ttaly, Greece, all the rest of us--that the course we have been pursuing leads straight to chaos, and to that destruc- tion which General Dawes sees is not far off. He wants now to use com- mon sense and see where all present policies are leading, and begin to set all Europe on its feet, the only method of saving any one of its states. FOX RIVER SCOUT HIKE DECLARED BIG SUCCESS Scoutmaster Townley of the Kenil- worth Boy Scouts and ten of his charges have returned from a three day hike on the banks of Fox river at Cary, Illinois, and he is jubilant about the success of the trip. Long expeditions on the skis and thrilling rides on tobog- gans featured the hike, and the Scouts met with scores of hills with every con- ceivable variety of jumps, turns, slopes, and dips. Whenever a Scout negotiated one of the slides successfully he was promptly acclaimed by his fellows for the feat. Franklin Bowes succeeded in getting the most bumps, although six of the boys nearly rivaled him when they undertook to descend the highest and steepest hill in the valley on a toboggan. Approximately midway down the hill the toboggan hit a shoulder of a big snow drift and the riders were thrown fully 20 feet down the hill, while the gliding vehicle rushed on down the hill onto some rocks where it was partially damaged. None of the boys were in- jured. Scout Bozo was elected president of the "Bonehead Club" during the trip when he qualified by going in to town to buy 150 pounds of coal and forgot to take the sled along with him. An- other member of the club tried to jar open a frozen pump by running his sled into it. The boy will recover. The group of scouts returned home Sunday afternoon, and already the boys of the troop are clamoring for another excursion. AT MISSION SESSION Rev. James A. Richards, of the Win- netka Congregational church, has been in New York this week attending the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Commission on Missions. DODGE SHINES IN EXPEDITION Asiatic Fur Traders Use Well Known Cars While science toys with the 25 din- osaur eggs brought back from the in- terior of Mongolia by the Third Asiat- ic Expedition, and wonders about their relationship to the dinosaur skeletons . now and then unearthed in America, industrial leaders are giving deep and serious thought to the commercial phase of the expedition's many re- markable discoveries. Numerous important mineral de- posits were found, according to Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the ex- pedition, and it is only a matter of time until modern transportation makes it accessible. The plains are also inhabited by millions of fur bear- ing animals, and fur traders are al- ready hot on the trail followed by the . Andrews party in its search for fossils. Mr. Andrews demonstrated that it was not necessary to rely on the plod- ding camel in order to penetrate the rich interior. His three Dodge Jrothers motor cars did what the fur traders and others interested in the commercial development of Mongolia had considered impossible. The fur. traders promptly bought up his three Dodge Brothers cars, proved to their satisfaction that it was in the car to do it--and not just luck--and are now operating fleets of the same sturdy American car in pursuit of the for- tunes that roam aimlessly on the plains. Trips that formerly required months are now made in days. There are no roads, but that seems to make little difference when one is using a Dodge Brothers car. Thus the fur trade already has been given a definite impetus by the An- drews expedition's revelations. In- formation regarding the geological discoveries, such as mineral deposits, was turned over to the Mongolian government. How soon active de- velopment of these resources will be- gin, depends largely on the condition of state affairs and the interest of outside capital. The importance with which the re- sults of the expedition are viewed by the press is reflected in the countless editorials which followed the travelers' return. Typical of the comments is the following, from the Dallas Journal: "How many of us grubby folk know that dinosaurs laid eggs? Who among us could estimate the value of dinosaur eggs? Geologists working in the wilds of Mongolia under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History have discovered a whole nest- ful of dinosaur eggs, twenty-five of em, to be specific, and they say that the value of the eggs is priceless. Their evaluation will not be chal- lenged. For these eggs are big as moons, compared to those of the in- dustrious hen of our own time, and they are past the possibility of de- terioration, since they are fossilized and are estimated to be 10,000,000 years old. "Old King Tut, it will appear, Has no sort of monopoly on relics of an- tiquity. This lay of the ancient dino- saur antedates the Pharaoh's time by ages and epochs. As an exhibit from a primeval past it will stand in a class to itself. The exhibit is made even more impressive by the addition of tons of fossil .remains which were found in the Asian desert. "That the discovery. was due to the courage and determination of the men who comprised the scientific expedi- tion need not be stated. But an in- teresting revelation is that it would not have been possible without the aid of that modern of moderns, the auto- mobile. Motor cars penetrated hun- dreds and hundreds of miles into reg- ions that had never scented the odor of gasoline, following with ease the trails which had been made by cara- vans of camels. The leader of the ex- pedition, Mr. Roy "hapman Andrews, is quoted as having said that all of Mongolia is accessible by motor car, and that a new field for commercial exploration and development has been opened. "From which it may be seen that great possibilities may be hatched from dinosaur eggs. Commerce is a follower of the flag, we have been told. But it may also be said that it follows the explorer in the name of science." Kenilworth Basket Ball League Has Big Season The basket ball league of the Kenil- worth afternoon gymnasium class is getting a close race within its mem- bership. Red Herra's "Pirates" came out of a hotly contested game against Bob Sweet's "Lion-Tamers" with a 10-8 victory, and as a result they are now at the head of the league. John Cogswall's "White Mules" and Frank Watt's "Eagles" are tied for second place at present, and the next few games may see a shakeup all around in the standing of the various teams. The race is made more interesting by the fact that the losing teams are pledged to stage a dinner and enter- tainment for the winners of the race. Bob Townley, the physical director, states that this very easily explains the closeness of the standing.
