Looks Like Early Winter, Coppers Change to Blues Have you observed that our police- men are wearing new uniforms? The khaki suits have been placed in storage and the new heavy blue uniforms with shiny buttons are again the vogue for the winter season. The new suits were parceled out to the men Wednesday and were put on for good that same after- noon Thespians in the Market for Stage Houdinis If you: are suddenly accosted by a young tall, dark gentleman who queries you with "Are you a rain maker?" or "Can you produce a lightning flash?" or other mysterious illusions on the stage-- DON'T call the police--pull him gently to one side and let him tell you the whole story. He will probably introduce himself as Earl Fox, well-known Winnetkan, but better known as stage director for the North Shore Players, True Genuis If Fox is as good as they say, and his clever stage wizardry in "3 Live Ghosts," "Jane Clegg," "Peg of my Heart," etc., etc., seems to bear this out, why then he is nothing short of a genuis! "But"--he wails, "I can't do it alone. I need rain makers, electrical wizards, scene shifters, lightning makers, dagger- hurlers, "mediums" carpenters, stage of "back stage" work." Off "Thirteenth Chair" "Because"--as he explains it, "the next production of the North Shore Players is to be Bayard Veillers' "The Thir- teenth Chair"--the original "mystery" play from which all the rest came. In it are countless mystifying effects of ghosts, lights, illusions, hidden knives, sliding panels and "what not." "Believe me its more than one man can do--the mental strain is awful." There you have it. He needs help. So--if a young, dark, tall gentleman accosts you with a query ot "Can you make rain?" or "Create a lightning flash ?"--take him aside and tell him "yes," if you are interested. He can use you. (P. S. If he doesn't cress your path --better meet him Monday night at 8:00 at the Winnetka Community House, Win- netka.) Country Day Eleven to Meet Lake Forest Team The first football game to be played this season by the lightweight team of the North Shore Country Day school was against the bantam-weight eleven of Lake Forest Academy at Lake For- est, Friday, October 12. The academic "gridders" of Lake Forest were reputed to have a strong team this year, and a real battle was anticipated, Read the Want-Ads Dr. R. W.

Juniors and seniors who visited the grounds last year had giv- en the Freshmen a glowing descrip- tion of the north shore, and especially of their particular. portion of the north shore--and the Freshmen were not disappointed. Myriads of gay balloons added a gala note to the grand march of pos- session with which the students cir- cled the grounds. The seal of owner- ship was more firmly impressed when the senior class president brought out a huge brown bulb, filled with hun- dreds which were planted in the soft earth with happy thoughts of a spring visit with the campus a riot of color. | Everyone then joined in the old games--Jolly Miller, Looby Loo, Lassie--which are quite out of the question for the whole group in the college with its increased enrollment. The competitive games which fol- letics included in the schedule this year. Bonfires, songs, stories and a weenie roast on the beach completed the program. N. U. Gridders Will Get a New Bear Cub Persistent attempts to educate their bear cub in the duties of a mascot failing, Northwestern university stu- dents have sent bruin back to the wilds of Wisconsin from whence he of satiny brown tulip bulbs, lowed showed the effects of the ath-| came. This does not mean that the Purple will be forced to worry along throughout the football season minus a mascot. Not by any means. Al- ready another bear is on his way to the Evanston campus from a circus where they teach little bears how to behave. Bear number one proved to be everything that a mascot shouldn't be. He took a keen delight in scratching his keepers with no sign of a contrite heart or a kindly spirit. When bruin -was turned loose in Patten gymnasium Monday he made for the rafters in the dizzy heights of the huge inclosure and only fatigue and hunger induced him again to seek his cage. Passionate and soothing en- treaties alike failed to strike a re- sponsive cord. : Unwilling to chance another such experience, George Fry, acting presi- dent of the student council and one of bruin's chief care-takers, has a written guarantee that bear number two is as peaceful as a puppy and as playful as a kitten. He was born under the big canvas and is guaranteed to be a loyal Purple fan from the start. Read the Want-Ads Busy Concert Season Ahead for Milan Lusk Milan Lusk, Wilmette violinist, has just returned from a successful concert trip in Michigan. At his recital in Al- legan, he was accorded a veritable ova- tion by the enthusiastic public which was not satisfied until four encores had been added at the conclusion of the pro- gram. This same demonstration fol- lowed in Grand Ledge, and in Lanark. Mr. Lusk is facing a busy concert season. His annual violin recital will take place on December 9 at Cohan's Grand Opera House. i Brady & Riddle ; Will Do Your = .. # Carpenter Repairs' Cheaply and Promptly Estimates Furnished =~ Phone Winnetka 381 propm-- for the Tast 30 years. every figure. always good looking.
