Lieber Will Conduct Course in Parliamentary Law So many times women of genuâ€" ine capacity for leadership are unâ€" able to accept the presidency of an organization because of lack of training in Parliamentary / Law, which is really essential to insure the smooth running of any meeting. Henceforth no member of the Highâ€" land Park Woman‘s Club need reâ€" fuse to lead a club for this reason. For Mrs. Gertrude C. Lieber of Winnetka will give a series of ten lessons in Parliamentary Law free to club members and at a very reaâ€" sonable cost to nonâ€"members on the following Wednesday mornings at 11 o‘clock: November 2, 16, 30; Deâ€" cember 7, January 4, 18; February 1, 16; March 1, 15. & #4rs, Lieber needs no introducâ€" tion to North Shore residents, for she is well known as the official Parliamentatian of the District Federation of Women‘s Clubs, a lecâ€" demand, a woman of force and perâ€" sonality, and ‘above all, one who knows how to simplify the rather inâ€" tricateâ€"appearing rules of Parliaâ€" mentary Law so that they can be understood by the average woman. Moreover, Mrs. Licber has the gift of making her lessons interesting and exciting, and the members of the class take an active part in the discussions. It is not only a priviâ€" lege to study under Mrs, Lieber‘s spirited guidance, but everyone who is enrolled in the class will emerge fully qualified to conduct any meetâ€" ing with poise and equanimity. This series is being offered by the Home Education Department of which Mrs. Leonard Keaster as chairman.

"Shopworn Angel" Outstanding Film on Alcyon Screen Check your dignity at the door of the Alcyon theatre on Saturday of this week when you go in to see "Cowboy from Brooklyn." Comedies don‘t come any funnier than this musical saga of a cowboy who nevâ€" er rides the range because he‘s scarâ€" ed to death of horses. With the exception of a few sentimental inâ€" terludes and some musical nioments every minute of ithis ‘production, which features Dick Powell, Pat O‘Brien and Priscilla Lane, has at least fiftyâ€"nine seconds of hilarious comedy, with the result that laughâ€" ter is almost continuous. _ The dramatic story of a woman who sacrifices her love for one man so that she might send another away to war with a beautiful memâ€" ory wi%out shattering his ideals, is the stirring theme of "The Shopâ€" worn Angel," which is to be preâ€" sented on the Alcyon screen on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

It is the receiver‘s belief, accordâ€" ing to a recent report that unless operation of the railroad is begun at an early date, that it may be imâ€" possible to resume running at all. A petition was filed in Federal court‘ Tuesday by a committee of North Shore security holders, proâ€" posing that the railroad resume opâ€" erations, with service curtailed to save money. In Waukegan, where business was suffering through the discontinuâ€" um‘“o! 'trutwur service in outlyâ€" ing districts, Willett company buses were secured from E. M.

Employees of the Waukegan surface lines were secured to run the buses, which now operate on 15 minute schedules. While residents along the Shore Ling route are being accomodated by. service on the Northwestern railroad, those families who bought property along the Skokie Valley route seem to be the worst hit by the discontinuance of service.
