The building will be a three storv reinforced concrete structure, with basement -50 by 130 feet and 50 by 50 garage on rear of lot. The buildings 'are so designed as to make possible more than double the original capaci- ty: when the need arises. Estimated cost of the buildings will be approx- imately $75.000. Is Village Improvement This building is expected to make a great improvement in the business section of Wilmette as it will cover FT" sewed vacant dot and replace an adjoining delapidated frame building.

YOU CAN GET THIS bE, "COAL SAVER" BOOK Do you know how to run your furnace properly and economically? If you are in doubt as to any point concerning it, help is at hand in a little booklet which may be had for the asking, in the office of Com- munity House. During the war, when coal was scarce and every one was asked to conserve and avoid waste, these pamphlets were distri- buted through the War Emergency Union. The text is written by Mr. Arthur Barrett, a Winnetka citizen, who has the technical knowledge of the subject, as well as the practical experience. Winter is coming on. You may have problems with your 'furnace. You had better cut the high cost of heating by seluring one of these booklets. As the supply is limited, an early call is suggested, at Community House office. OH! WAYWARD WHISKERS, WHEN WILL YOU RETURN? | Have you seen "Whiskers"? She's a black and white feline about a year and a half old, companion to "Tige," who, strange to relate, is not a canine, but a sure-enough member of the cat family. Whiskers and Tige came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Jones, 760 Foxdale aveune, some time ago as a wedding gift. Tuesday Whiskers left for parts unknown and has since failed to put in an appearance at her customary haunts. Tige is very, ery, lonzly and the Joneses are quite anxious about the lost half of their wedding gift. : ; So if you come upon Whiskers in "her wanderings you'll not forget to tell her of the lonely and anxious hearts at home. Return to Winnetka Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hinman and family returned this week from a motor tour through the east. They were away from the Village for a month. Back from Vacation : Mr. and Mrs. Ruthers and family. 644 Spruce street, returned this week | from their summer's vacation. in fact, | Service Men Take Notice The secretary in charge of com- pleting, for the Village, the 'war records of men in service, asks that all men returned from service who have not yet sent in a copy of the record on their discharge papers, to- gether with their photograph, do so without delay. North Shore Contrg Day School Opens Doors in Winnetka, Thursday, October 2 Latest educational methods will be introduced on the north shore on Thursday, October 2, the date of the formal opening in Winnetka of the North Shore Country Day school which has superceded the Girton and Eliot schools. Under the direction of Professor Perry Dunlap Smith, headmaster, It is desired that these records for the Village be as full and accurate as possible, and in order to make {it so, this help is asked for. This | work was started by the War Emergency Union of Winnetka, dur-! |ing the war and is to be completed | EY > COMMUNITY | KITCHEN Winnetka's housewives turned out in numbers Tuesday afternoon to hear of the plans now under con- sideration for the establishment of | a Community Kitchen in Winnetka. | Mrs. Homer H. Kingsley of Evans- ton, gave a most intereing account of the experiences the Evanston women had previous to and since the organization of the Community Kitchen proiect. In Evanston the Community Kitchen has proven a de- cided success, and today they are serving on' an average of seventy meals daily. Miss Madison, who resides at the Girls' League in Evanston, and who has just completed a three month's course in the Evanston Kitchen, is contemplating starting a Communi- ty Kitchen service in this Village. Her one big drawback will be the apparent lack of support to put the proposition on a paying basis. At present the only available kitchen large enough to begin work with, seems to be the one in the Parish House. However, it is the purpose of a few of the members of the Woman's club to look for more convenient quarters where this work may be carried on on a larger scale, and to permit a salesroom opening in connection with it. It will be neces- sary for Miss Madison to have the guarantee of thirty dinners to be served five evenings a week for the first month, before she can begin her delivery system. Anyone wishing to get in touch with Miss Madison may phone or write her at the Girl's League club rooms, in Evanston. Winnetka vs. Wilmette Winnetka's baseball nine will en- gage the strong Wilmette aggrega- tion Sunday afternoon on the Wil- mette diamond. Hanzelman will be on the mound for the locals and ex- pects to give the Wilmette boys a sound drubbing. Winnetka has lost three games to Wilmette this season | | but confidently expects to pravent | 2 "slam" in the final engagement. | POLE hea Na a | | Return from Alaska { Mr. and Mrs. William B. Dale of i East Ash street, are back from Alas- ika and the Yukon territory. Enroute to the northern country they pro- ceeded by way of the Canadian Rockies, stopping at Banff and Lake Louise. Boy Scout Movies Winnetka Boy Scouts present on Saturday, October 4, Carlyle Black- well "in, "Leap to Fame." The pro- ceeds of the movie performances will go to the Scout fund. Other at- tractions will be the first episode of the Craig Kennedy serial, "The Cart- er Case," and prism natural-color pictures. Back on the Job Ray Cazel and Walter Lips, Win- net postoffice employes will return next week from their vacations. rrank Klarke another employe starts his vacation next week. Community House Movies Motion pictures at Winnetka Com- munity House, October 3, will in- clude "The Little Intruder", with full | condition. At formerly of the Francis' W. Parker school of Chicago, the Hill school of Pottstown, Pa., and the Vanderlip school at Scarborough on the Hud- son, N. Y., the new type of grade and secondary school will be placed in operation with a large registry ils on the n re. in Chi- formulated by leading educators, is | briefly as follows: The new school will consist of three departments each housed in a separate buliding. There will be the Kindergarten and Elementary depart- ment admitting children up to and in- | cluding the 6th grade. Another de- partment will be the Girls' Upper school, admitting girls of the 7th, 8th and High school grades. The third department is designated as the Boys' Upper school admitting boys of the 7th, 8th and High school grad- ese. The two higher departments are designed to fit pupils for college work. The school will be limited to 250 pupils and will have onfe teacher for every twelve pupils. The daily program, except in the case of the younger groups, will fol- low the usual Country Day schedule, that is, lessons and recitations in the morning, a hot luncheon, followed by supervised study periods, athletics, laboratory and shop work or field ex- cursions in the afternoon. The older pupils will not be dismissed until 5 o'clock. Emphasis will be placed on super- vised study and teaching proper | . . { pupil spends his whole day, others Description of inethods of supervis- ion and instruction in the new school | "was given in a recent issue of The Lake Shore News.

Many of the mor2 up-to-date Am- erican cities have realized the truth of this theory and have established Country Day schools. Boston, Bal- timore, New York, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Kansas City are support- ing successful schools of this type. In addition to his experience in educational circles Professor Smith served in the army as major of in- fantry and organized three officers' training schools. He is recognized as a leader in grade and secondary school work. The sponsors of the new school have rented a tract of land adjacent to the Girton school site which has been converted into an athletic field and playgrounds. Opening of the school had been scheduled for September 25 but was delayed in consequence of the build- ing. trades' strike which postponed renovation and alteration work on the premises. Are You Helping the Miller Family ? What have you done to help John® bors and sending "combination" con- Miller, heroic flagman, and his desti- tute family in Glencoe? A campaign is now in progress on the north shore to raise a $10,000 trust fund for the family of the man who a month ago risked his life in a vain attempt to save the lives of Mr. and Mrs. William Tanner who met instant death in the path of a lim- ited train at the Gage street crossing, Hubbard Woods. Miller is at the Evanston hospital. He is in great pain with a broken arm and leg and is still in a serious home in Glencoe is an invalid wife and her habes. A heavy mortgage hangs over the little cottage they call home and their is no weekly pay envelope to help de- fray household expenses and help lift that financial burden. At the Indian Hill Golf club this week women of the north shore, un- der direction of Mrs. Foresman, held a Benefit Bridge party for the John Miller trust fund. Proceeds amounted to more than $400. There were 34 «tables. The Evanston News-Index has rais- ed a fund of $1,225.25 by popular sub- scription to be used in lifting the goal set by the News-Index was $I,- 200.

Several individual, as the list of contribu- tions testify have hit upon the plan Louise Hoff and Johnny Hines. of calling upon friends and neigh- tributions to the chairmen. In order to reach the goal of $10,000 set by the leaders in the campaign it will be necessary for everyone who wish- es to help to do so promptly as the drive can be carried over but a lim- ited period. The slogan of the workers is, "Help today!" A drive on the Winnetka Communi- ty house this week brought $91.16 at a late counting with funds coming in gradually. Many of the contributors here are children who are sacrific- ing their pocket money to help the needy little family in Glencoe. Prop- rietors of the Winnetka Pharmacy have placed a "box" at the entrance to the establishment where passers- by may stop and add their bit to the fund which is to bring joy and comfort out of tragedy and tears. Donations to the Miller Fund may be mailed to Mr. L. Sherman Ald- rich, 1160 Oakley avenue, Hubbard Woods, or to any of the following | women who have agreed to take charge of 'the contributions in the various villages: Mrs. Allan I.
