WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1924 2 REGISTER AND VOTE! EVERY CLUB WOMAN IS URGED All seats are re! Women of State Asked to Place Illinois at Top OUR years ago the women of the United States had a powerful in- trument placed in their hands. They were somewhat bewildered. They did not know how to use the instrument. This instrument was suffrage, the use of the ballot. An intense study of the science of government has made many of our women, especially those of the Tenth Congressional District of Illi- nois, eager to help select the proper of- ficials at the polls. Less than 50% of the citizens of this country voted in 1920. There has been a steady decrease since 1896, when 80% of the citizens voted. Such apathy in a land that boasts of "government by the people" is dis- graceful. Our European neighbors are saying: "Have the people of the United States lost their ideals?" Is that land of the free drifting toward a dictator- ship?" The situation calls for action at the polls. The State Chairman of American citi- zenship, "1. "BE. W, 'C. Mrs. Chas. W. Trainor, urges the women of our state to raise the standard and place Illinois at the top of the list. Mrs. W. J. Far- rell, the very efficient Chairman of American Citizenship of Tenth District is firing her committee with the spirit of the crusader. The duty we owe our country is a holy one. The grave task of electing to the highest office in the world today a president who will, with unfailing integrity, protect our rights, is a sacred public trsut. Then let us join the crusade. Let us not shirk our duty in this great common enterprise. Find the neighbor or friend who has not registered. Remind her that a complete re-registration is made be- fore every presidential election in Chi- cago, Chicago Heights, Cicero and Sum- mut. All must register, regardless of date of last registration. There is an- other chance on October 14. Follow up that registration by faithful service to your country November 4, Get all your friends to vote. And may it be said when returns come in that 90% of the citizens of Illinois took part in the elec- tion. | Winnetka Woman's Club N Thursday, October 2, the Win- netka Woman's club started its year's activity with a most enjoy- able luncheon followed by a piano reci- tal. The social committee, comprising the follownig members, was in charge: Mrs. L.

By calling Skokie school, or mak- ing application at either of the banks, reservations will be made. Community Service "Community House has asked to act as a clearing bureau in regard to the matter of setting the dates of village activities and giving out information in regard to existing dates. A book list- ing the time of the principal village events will be maintained in the office and an attempt will be made to coordin- ate events to avoid conflicts. "It is hoped that each one will coop- erate in this matter by notifying Com- munity House of the dates of the social events in which he is interested. Infor- mation will gladly be given in regard to existing engagements. "Miss Myrtle Carpenter, state feder- ation chairman of the committee of friendly cooperation with ex-service men, wishes to bring to the club's atten- tion that: "Chicago chapter, Number 2, of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War are giving a carnival and ball at the First Regiment armory on the evenings of October 17 and 18. "This is an atempt to raise necessary funds for their very worth while work. The tickets may be procured from Miss Matz. The price is nominal. "It was explained that the Year Book of 1924-25 was simplified by omitting the By-Laws. By doing so the expense was cut considerably. "It was regretted that the 'Application for Membership' blanks were not includ- ed in the book. Copies may be obtained from the corresponding secretary or from the chairman of the membership committee. "On account of some withdrawals and many changes in residence the waiting list is comparatively small, making it a good time to propose new members. "The next regular meeting of the club will be held October 16, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. It will be in charge of the art and literature com- mittee, the subject, 'Chinese Paintings,' the speaker, Mr. Charles Kelley. On this day the ew stereopticon will be used." "Mrs. Hunter, chairman of the revi- sion committee, read the changes in the By-Laws. "Mrs. E. V. L. Brown announced the lectures to be given at the Woman's club on current events by Mrs. Anthony French Merrill, a course of 12 lectures to begin Wednesday, October 9. "Miss Gemmill made a plea to the club members to do all in their power to vote and to get others to vote on November 4. The women were urged not to fail to register on either of the days, Octo- ber 4 or 14. "It was moved by Mrs. Otis, sec- onded and unanimously carried, that Mrs. Wallace Chickering, no longer a resident of Winnetka, be made an hon- orary member on account of her devo- tion and great service to the club. "Miss Matz asked that the club mem- bers be careful to park their cars ac- cording to the village ordinance, any place around the square or on the west side of Maple street. "Mrs. J. R. Fletcher called the club's attention to the classes in French by Monsieur Cauuet. The classes com- mence on Monday, October 6, continuing Mondays and Thursdays until May. The classes will be for advanced, intermedi- ate and beginners in French conversa- tion and literature. "Mrs. Harris, chairman of the music committee, introduced the pianist, Miss Lillian Magnuson. The program given was as follows: 1.2 Somata ih A FL... nnn Scarlatti Pastorale ........ . 55 Scarlatti Capriccio rl ares Scarlatti 2 Prelude No. 16... . Chopin Impromptu, Op. 36 ...... Chopin Firude,;0p. 25; No.8... Chopin 3= legend: is Rosetter G. Cole Valse 0 Levitzki Danse des Elfes ...... Sapallnikoff Hungarian Fantasy ........ Liszt "The orchestra parts were played on the second piano by Daisy Waller Stephen. "Miss Magnuson was a prize winner in the piano department of the Society of American Musicians' contest. Glenn Dillard Gunn says of her, 'Her fingers are models of accuracy and precision, her rhythmic sense is keen and communi- cative; her tone is capable of variance from a delightfully transparent pianis- simo to a fortissimo, stalwart and im- pressive, and above all, the underlying musicianship is apparently as firm and i as her fingers are infalli- e. "The club feels very grateful to Miss Magnuson for so splendid a program."
