WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1924 CLUB WOMEN STRESS IMPORT Winnetka League Is Making All Effort to Get-Out-the-Vote gi SE Your Citizenship--Vote!" is the slogan that has been adopted by the Winnetka League of Women Voters. It was selected from many handed in during an informal slogan contest, and is the contribu- tion of Harold DeLay. Tt is to be printed on all the League stationery. For, of all the purposes of the League, that of getting out the vote is upper- most in the minds of league members now. No one in Winnetka will have the slightest opportunity to overlook No- vember 4. For those who do not read the newspapers, there will be reminding placards placed by the league upon the delivery wagons. The merchants of Winnetka all gen- erously consented to cooperate in this. And as a still further percaution against forgetfulness, the precinct chairmen have arranged to cover their respective districts so carefully that every home in the village will have a "Vote Tuesday, November 4." tag hanging upon its doorknob by Mon- day night. Althouch the league is working working hard to increase the quantity of the vote from the 56% of last elec- tion, to 75%, it is not working for quantity alone, but also for greater intelligence at the polls. It is en- deavoring to give every potential voter in the village easy and interest- Ing access to information on all the men, parties, and issues concerned. It was for this purpose that the league members sold the election number of the Illinois League bulletin throughout Winnetka, and for this purpose that the big multi-partisan mass meeting has been called at the Woman's club for Monday evening, October 27. Now arrangements have been com- pleted to have the League room in Community House open all day, Mon- day, November 3, as an information bureau for voters of all parties. Mrs. Walter Benson, president of the league, assisted by various members of the board, will be there from 9 until 5 o'clock to answer questions and give out leaflets. She will also have sample ballots for all parties to give to those who wish them. Any- one, woman or man, who has any questions about voting, may take them to the League Information bureau in Community House at this time. This service is not restricted to league members, but is open to the entire village. The members of the board of di- rectors of the Winnetka league who will assist Mrs. Benson at the Infor- mation bureau are: Miss Elizabeth Gemmell, chairman of elections; Mrs. Harold DeLay, chairman of member- ships; Mrs. Austin Jenner, chairman of finance; Mrs. Charles Strong, chairman of child welfare: Mrs. Wil- liam Hale, chairman of state and na- tional problems; Mrs. Morris Greeley, chairman of efficiency in government ; Mrs. Dow Harvey, chairman of pub- licity, and Mrs. John Vander Vries and Mrs. J. P. Yoder, representatives on the Cook County council.

Bazaar at Blackstone to Benefit Children's Home HE Bazaar for saint Mary's Home for Children will be held in the Crystal ball room of the Black- stone hotel Thursday, November 6. Many parishes of the Chicago Diocese of the Episcopal church are taking part and the Woman's Guild of Christ Church, Winnetka, under the direction oi Mrs. William G. Woolfolk, presi- dent, and a committee composed of Mrs. Charles Clegg McKinney, Mrs. Charles Howell Coffin, Mrs. John B. Hooker and Mrs. Carl Zeiss, has been actively engaged in promoting the work. With the hearty cooperation of th Zone cap- tains and the parish at large, the Guild will have a generous supply fancy ar- ticles and novelties for one of the booths. North shore residents are cordially in- vited to attend the bazaar which opens at 10 o'clock in the morning, continuing until late at night, thus making it pos- sible for those who are in the city dur- ing the day to attend in the evening. St. Mary's Home for Children under the Sisters of St. Mary was established in 1894 on the west side of Chicago, near the old Cathedral. The work steadily increased in the face of every hindrance but the neighborhood was not desirable and the facilities for caring for the rap- idly increasing family inadequate. In 1900 an appeal was made for funds, and in November, 1903, the present home on Jackson boulevard was opened. The current expenses are always promptly met, but nothing remains over for repairs, and this year a great many such expenses must be met. Some changes are required as a protection from fire and also extensive repairs on brickwork, roofs and plumbing. It is hoped that this bazaar will provide the funds necessary to place the work of St. Mary's home on a firm basis for some time to come. Richard Dix will be seen in his lat- est production, "Manhattan" at Mec- Vickers next week, starting Monday, October 27. R. H. Burnside, who staged all the big Hippodrome spec- tacles when that theater was in its hey-day, directed "Manhattan." THOUGHT | | and intelligent thought to every situation.

That game is with the University of Towa on November 1. The Hawkeyes have practically the same team which held Illinois to a 9 to 6 score last vear at Iowa City. Towa was Big Ten champion in 1921 and shared first honors with Michigan in 1922. They have this tradition to spur them on at Towa City and they think that they have a good chance to finish at the top of the heap. Al- though Ohio held the Hawks to a tie, [owa was far stronger and four times threatened to score. The critics said that it was just a case of needing about two more weeks in which to develop.

Now many persons who were unable to get tickets for Michigan intend to see the Iowa battle. There is no limit on the number of tickets to be pur- chased and orders are pouring into the football ticket office, Urbana. The Illini figure on a crowd of about 40,000 which means that there uill be seats for everybody. DePauw university will invade Ilh- nois field Saturday, October 25. De Pauw is also coached by a former Illini, Jimmy Ashmore. The Green- castle lads hope to make a good show- ing and the Illini will not take the game for granted by any means. There will be no reserved seats for this game. The Neighbors held an open meet- ing at the club Thursday evening. The speaker of the evening was the Honorable Woodbridge N. Ferris, United States senator from Michigan, who gave an address on "The Restora- tion of American Homes."
