Red Cross workers are greatly needed this month in the Red Cross shops at the corner of Oak and Lin- den streets. An unusually large order for surgical dressings has been re- ceived from headquarters, and many workers must help in order that Winnetka's quota may be completed. Over 20,000 surgical dressings must be made. Included in this number are 10,000 sponges, 5000 compresses, 5000 gauze strips and 500 triangular bandages. The Parish House Red Cross shop »._ is open every day for this work. All ¥ women are urged to give as much time as possible to this work. Preparing Reports. Reports of the war work for Jan: uary under the direction of the va- rious departments are being prepared for publication next week. Mr. H. A. De Windt has been ap- pointed to direct the War Savings Stamps campaign in Winnetka, which is being conducted by the War Emergency Union. There is a great need in the army for woolen socks. Winnetka women are urged to knit socks. Wool will be supplied for this purpose, free of charge, at the Red Cross shop. In- structions in knitting will be given on Saturday mornings at 9:30 o'clock. The War Emergency Union is com- piling a list of Winnetka people, who are willing to give volunteer motor service and to respond at any time to emergency calls. A number have volunteered for this important divi- sion, and others are urged to do so. It is important to have as com- plete a record as possible, and any one who is able to serve in this department is urged to send his name to the Union. ENEMY ALIEN ELUDES U. S. AGENTS, GUARD STATIONS Charles Schultz, an enemy alien, escaped from United States deputy marshals at the Central street station of the Northwestern elevated in Evanston last Friday afternoon while on the station platform waiting for a Chicago, North Shore and Mil- waukee train, which was to have taken him and a companion to the Fort Sheridan internment camp. Schultz, while in the custody of the government men, stepped from the platform into the waiting room of the station and failed to return when the train arrived. Local police and north shore au- thorities were immediately notified of the escape, and a thorough search of the village and all railway stations was made. All trains from the north are being closely watched for the prisoner. Schultz was described to the police as approximately 35 years old, 5 feet in height, and of stocky build, with dark hair and a two-weeks' growth of beard. Sorority Dance. There will be a sorority dance at the Winnetka Woman's Club on Sat- urday evening, February 16. WINNETKA BOYS REPAIR SHOES FOR RED CROSS Many Winnetka boys are busily engaged repairing shoes in order to help the Red Cross buy supplies for the soldiers and saailors at military camps and to promote: other war activities. H. A. De Windt is "backing" the enterprise by furnishing funds for the renting of a shop and the pur- chase of initial supplies. The boys have "adopted" Peter Schramm, an old village cobbler, who is teaching them how to wield the awl and other implements of the "old-time craft of leather." "They are learning fast," said the old shoemaker yesterday. "I shall make master cobblers of them yet. It's an old and an honorable calling," he said. The boys are working in groups of twelve each. In addition to making shoes they also mend them, adver- tising to resole a shoe for 25 cents. The money from repair work is to be devoted to "overhead expense." The youthful bootmakers are super- vised by a number of Winnetka women. Among these are Mrs. W. F. Anderson, Mrs. F. W. Plowman, Mrs. Horace McClain, Mrs. Steven Foster, Mrs. Stanley Rogers and Mrs. F. J. Eisendrath. Mrs. Clarence Nehl- hope is in general charge of the work. This, however, is not the only ac- tivity in which the young Winnetkan is interested just 'now. The public schools of the suburb are all busily engaged in war relief work of various sorts. Such activities include, among other things, the making of comfort pillows from old rags, the weaving of carpets and rugs, the making of trench candles from old newspapers soaked in paraffin, the manufacture of splints out of basswood, the mak- ing of checkers for the Sammies' or jackies' leisure moments, the making of blankets for Belgian children and of caps out of old eiderdown for French war orphans. The boys also have invented a new variety of knit- ting needle, made out of dowel rods, sandpapered to a fine point and fin- ished with beads. The public schools of the village, as well as the Girton school, which is a private institution, have taken up the work. The Rev. Vaclay Prucher, D. D., an invalid minister, has established a loom, where he is teaching the children how to weave. RESERVE MOTOR UNIT TO BE FORMED IN WINNETKA The Illinois Volunteer Training Corps is now forming what is known as a motor transport train, to be attached to the Illinois Reserve militia. The object of this train is to transport the state troops upon occasions of emergency and for drill- ing formations. There are four regiments of in- fantry, fully armed and equipped, composed of citizens and ex-soldiers of Chicago and suburbs. Should the troops be ordered out by the gover- nor, it will be the duty of the trans- port train to pick up at prescribed stations the troops and carry them to a given destination where the entire regiment is to be mobilized. The members of this organization will, of course, be machine owners and must drive their own cars, and will take the oath of the I. V. T. C., and purchase their own uniforms as' prescribed by the State Council of Defense Military Committee. Fach car will carry the Q.-M. pennant and company number and the transport chevron will be worn upon the left sleeve of the driver. There will be 200 cars attached to each regiment and 14 cars to each company, the balance to the medical, supply and headquarters companies. Second lieu- tenants will be appointed to com- mand each section of 14 cars, one first sergeant for each section and all en- listed drivers will receive sergeant's appointments. This branch of service gives an op- portunity to men who want to do their bit and at the same time at- tend to their business. It is desired that every automobile owner in posi- tion to enter this services enroll at once. Applications for enlistment for the First Infantry are being received by Captain Lathrop Collins of Win- netka at 120 West Adams street, Chi- cago; for the Second Infantry, Cap- tain Telfer MacArthur, Oak Park; for the Third Infantry, Captain Elias Day, 64 East Jackson boulevard, Chi- cago; and for the Fourth Infantry, Captain Clyde I. Backus, 5857 Win- throp avenue, Chicago. Loans $40,000. The Wilmette Realty Company this week negotiated a loan of $40,000 for five years. The loan was made through the First National Bank of Ravenswood to W. W. Pollock. ROSENBERG'S GOES ON WAR TIME BASIS Liberty Sale to Acquaint Public With New Policy Following Program of Defense Councils. PLAN NEW TO COMMUNITY Purpose to Keep Prices From Rising And to Conserve Materials. An unusual sale opened at Rosen- berg's Department store in Evanston yesterday morning when the store began to conduct business on a war- time basis, to conform to the program of the National and State Councils of Defense. In order to acquaint the entire com- munity with the new policy promptly, the store, in addition to announcing its methods of cutting costs, will offer great savings'in all departments, illus- trating the advantages to the cus- tomer. The new plan is new only so far as this district is concerned. Many cities have already adopted it. In New York and Philadelphia John Wanna- maker and others are tightening up their policy to reduce the cost of doing business and keep the price of merchandise from rising beyond all bounds. Carry Home Parcels. Here are the recommendations en- dorsed by the National Council of Defense: When shopping do not leave the; store empty handed. Carry parcels with you to the extent of your ability. Help to make this "the fashion." Do not buy meschandise until you are sure you are going to keep it. Make careful selection a habit. Shop Early in Day. If merchandise must be exchanged or returned, carry small parcels for exchange to the store within forty- eight hours of the time of purchase. Always bring sales check with you. Avoid C. O. D. and approval pur- chases. Shop as early in the day as possible, for evenly distributed business means less help and lower cost; hence lower selling prices. Place all your orders so as to re- quire delivery at your house not more than once each day. "We believe that the changes in our method of business are going to enable us, in some measure, to check the rising cost of merchandise," says Mr. Ira Rosenberg, "to sell good mer- chandise at prices that will bring us a greater volume of business than we have ever had and to link our insti- tution more closely with the daily life of the residents of this com- munity. "We are confident we shall secure the whole-hearted co-operation of every one in instituting those reforms which will enable us to put our store on a war-time basis, and to sell good merchandise at the lowest possible prices." The methods of accomplishing this are in part as follows: Two daily deliveries. A charge for special deliveries. Exchanges only when necessary and within six business days. Minimum C. O. D., 50 cents. The Iiberty Sale which lasts for gpg pm gE HE HE BE HE EE HB EN ESE SDE EE EE EEEEN ten days illustrates in prices what can be done for the customer by these means. DR. W. W.
