1] WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1923 Special Trains to Take Legion Members to Frisco Convention Several train-loads of delegates and visitors will leave Chicago over the Chi- cago, St. Paul and Milwaukee railway on October 9 for San Francisco, where the Fifth National convention of the American Legion will be held October 15-19. A special train, in five or six sections is being "made up" by the Cook County association of the Legion to accommo- date members of the Department of Illinois, and it is expected that every legion and auxiliary in the state will be represented on this unusual journey to the coast. Accommodations are to be provided for legionnaires and members of their families. Among the officers of the Department of Illinois who have given their endorse- ment to the plan are Capt. Jacob M. Dickinson, Jr., of Winnetka, chairman, rehabilitation, 8th district, and former commander of Winnetka Post.

"Accommodations for the wives, sisters mothers and daughters and other relatives of Legionnaires are especially attractive," it is said. "A ladies maid will accom- pany the train from the time it leaves Chicago until its return, and no detail that adds to the comfort of the ladies while enroute has been overlooked. "Society 40 Hommes and 8 Chevaux have heartily endorsed the plans for this No Regrets if you buy ORRELL Wallpaper and have a practical Paper Hanger do the papering. Let me figure on yourwork.

The fun making activities of the Chicago voiture of this organization are well known and a num- ber of entertainment stunts are planned for the trip. "It is expected that a special service men's band of forty pieces will be aboard the special train. "As fine a special train as was ever assembled, consisting of all-steel standard and tourist sleepers, head end buffet car, and a full observation car containing barber shop, bath, smoking room and ob- servation parlor, with maid and valet service, will be furnished for this trip," the committee in charge announces. Among the outstanding entertainment features which have been arranged at San Francisco for the entertainment of Legionnaires are elaborate fleet manoeu- vers by the Pacific fleet, United States Navy; aerial derby by the air corps; An- nual National Amateur Athletic meet of the American Legion; distinguished for- eign visitors who were prominent during the late war, etc., etc., and the far-famed San Francisco hospitality Deis Studios Announce Resumption of Classes With the resumption of classes in the schools, the studios for the teach- ing of music in its various branches also open their doors to the children and older people of the north shore. Among the best known teachers of music in this vicinity are Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Deis, who have studios in the Wilmette State Bank building at 1200 Central avenue. They announce the re-opening of their studios for the teaching of piano for the season of 1923-24. PASSING THE BUCK "Wild oats" sowed in the spring- time of life quite often crop out in the next generation, says the state department of public health. "Pass- ing the buck" is a mighty serious pro- position in such cases. TEACHERS BEGIN CLASS WORK SOON National Kindergarten School Opens September 10 Monday, September 10. will end va- cation and begin vocation for between 300 and 400 young women who plan to enter the National Kindergarten and Elementary college at that time. To date the dormitory registration shows a twenty per cent increase over last year. The six dormitories are already filled and it has been necessary to secure ad- ditional dormitory accommodations. No definite information is available as to the registration of students from Chicago and the suburbs but it is con- fidently predicted that the increase here will equal that in the dormitory enroll- ment. The fact that the college is not yet located on its new north shore site on Sheridan road at the ton boundary, is deplored by many stu- dents. Invariably, however, the student has decided that she could not afford to postpone the training for a year or more even for the sake of ideal surroundings and equipment. Students from the north shore will ap- preciate the lovely new clubroom in Thomas House. Other improvements have been affected during the summer. A double schedule has been arranged in order to accommodate the increased en- rollment in the present buildings. Stu- dents doing laboratory work in teaching in the schools of Chicago and suburbs will have classes from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. All other students will at- tend classes from 9 A. M. to 2 P. M.

A heating plant will be installed and improve- Wilmette-Evans- | ments made which will render the auditorium comfortable in the coldest weather. On Sunday afternoon, September 2, at 3:30 o'clock, the subject of the addresses will be "What Is a Bahai," based on the Sermon on the Mount. Miss May E. Ludwig of Chicago, who has just returned from an ex- tended tour through Palestine, Egypt, Germany, Switzerland, France and England, after a sojourn at Acca and Haifi at the foot of historic Mount Carmel, will probably relate some of her experiences at this meeting. Plans are being considered for the installation of a radio broadcasting station in the Bahai temple. Louis Bourgeois, architect of the Bahai temple, is erecting a building on the lake front opposite the temple, to be used as a studio and residence while the superstructure of the temple is being built. Dr. Zia M. Bagdadi, Bahai teacher, is erecting a home on Third street, near the temple. a ) DR. MELVIN B. HASBROUCK | «having been associated with the \ late Dr. John L.

AND HEALTH Last year the Rockefeller Founda- tion spent more than $15,000,000 in promoting public health and medical | education. Illinois spent about $400,- 000. Apparently John D. is more con- cerned with public welfare than the public is, says a health authority. ARMY OF EMPLOYES During 1922, there were 320,000 men and women engaged in the telephone in- dustry in the United States to say noth- ing of the thousands of others engaged in the manufacturing of apparatus, equipment, supplies, etc, to be used in this great industry. 2 LTTE TTT Take Only the Doctor's Advice It is a good thing to remember that all persons are not affected in the same way by medicines. 1 For that reason it is very unwise to follow the advice of any person who claims to have been helped by this or that preparation. The misuse of medicines is responsible for a great deal of sickness. : Whenever you feel that you are sick enough to take medicine you are ill enough to see the doctor. Your physician will prescribe the proper kind of medicine for you or he will advise such other treat- ment as may be advisable. See your doctor first. Then if you need medicine, let us fill his prescription. Smiling Service Community Pharmacy CHAS. R. PATCHEN 574 Phone Lincoln Ave. 164 I 810 Church Street Opposite Post Office Announcement New Type of Ford Cars Now on Display THE COUPE Has an entirely new body design and construction. Its exterior appearance is decidedly more trim while the seat- ing arrangement is much more conducive to comfort than formerly. For those who like to travel there is provided a greater luggage carrying capacity. The radiator hood is larger--the doors are wider and open forward making access and exit much easier. Another decided improvement is that it is no longer neces- sary for the driver to leave his seat when the gasoline tank is being filled. There is a ventilator in the cowl and vizor over the wind- shield providing against the glare of the sun. A very sturdy new style fender will also make the driver feel more secure against accidents. Interior fittings are of choice material and the deeply cushioned seat is arranged so there is a small shelf for parcels. Revolving type window regulators are provided on doors, and door locks. This new model certainly provides the maximum of com- fort and value at a minimum cost. Orders are now accepted and delivery will be made at your convenience. You will certainly want to see this model before buying a new coupe. Authorized Dealer Rr EPENDABLE 'D: ARS UNNINGHAM ------ -------- lo Late) Phone 4884 M. P. Louen, Sales Mgr.
