He was wounded in action and honorably discharged on August 15, 1864, by reason of disabilities. Mr. Shantz first came to Wilmette in 1870 from Philadelphia to which city he returned within a short time. He returned to Wilmette in 1880 where he resided for a number of years. He had been active in business in Pittsburgh until seven years ago when he retired and took up his residence in Bowling Green. He is survived by his widow and four children, Harry D., Jennie D., Jo- seph E., and Mrs. Mabel A. Cazel.

There are more golf courses adjacent to the Skokie Valley Route of the North Shore Line than to any similar length of railroad in the United States. Four forest preserves are also located within the confines of this "new North Shore." The recreation facilities, beauty and spaciousness of this favored spot, adjoining the crowded lake shore towns, are permanently assured, promising an inviting future to the many home owners now building in Skokie Valley.

Marigold Motor Coaches -- ---- North Shore Girls Win Lofty Honors in Field of Art Most young girls of today are pos- sessed with the desire to be trained workers in whatever field they may have talent or temperament for, and typical of the modern young girl is Miss Carolyn Bucholz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Bucholz of 225 Central avenue, Wilmette, a student of the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Miss Bucholz, a last year's graduate of New Trier High school, is studying to be a dress designer. When she talked with Carl Werntz, the director of the academy, and told him which course she desired to take, he asked "Do you love to sew?" Yes, she loved to sew and her course was arranged. Incidentally, this love for clothes is essential to one planning to take up dress design and is all the American woman has. She doesn't like frocks or gowns that haven't been worn, I mean, she is a bit shy of the very new ideas. "Tis the French who now tell us how long the skirt will be, where the waistline will show and when it will show. In the fashion show which takes place this Saturday evening at 8 o'clock and which is a part of the Academy exhibit May 3, 4, 5 and 6, Miss Bucholz will model her own work. The Fashion show is under the direction and management of Ralph Moni who is president of the Fashion Art league and is a graduate of the academy. It is interesting to note that the Fashion show of the students will be followed by an alumni show of the graduates who are now doing profes- sional work. Another Wilmette girl whose work is being exhibited by the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and who is showing great promise in a field that boasts of few trained workers, is Miss Elizabeth Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Nelson of 1005 Greenleaf avenue, Miss Nelson had "lots of free hand drawing" in high school and in her year at the University of Illinois, and she seems to think that she came by her instinct for art quite naturally, since her father is head of the firm of interior decorators of that name in Evanston. Though she likes interior decoration, Miss Nelson has, with the help of Carl Werntz, director and owner of the academy, decided to spe- cialize in Industrial Art--that is, the making of doorknobs, automobiles, safety pins, jewelry, etc. Miss Nelson is most modest about the prizes she has won with her work. One was for wall paper, another for a candy-box and now she is working for more honors on a linoleum design. Dr. Richard Bower Opens Office in Rockhold Bldg. Dr. Richard Bower of Madison, Wis, who has been appointed to the medical faculty at Northwestern university, will establish a private practice with offices in Chicago and in the Rockhold building, Wilmette. Dr. Bower arrived from Madison this week. Dr. Bower was for some time con- nected with the Davis, Neff and Bower clinic at Madison and is a Northwest- ern graduate in both - dentistry and medicine. DUSK DANGEROUS PERIOD Extra caution should be exercised at dusk, when neither the daylight nor the artificial lights sufficient to make obiects distinguishable at an ordinary distance. Clean windshields help to prevent accidents, says a bulletin is- sued by the Accident Prevention de- partment of the Chicago Motor club. Illinois ranks first of the states in number of freight cars purchased by electric railways during 1927.
