One of the main features of the program will be a talk by Prof. James Alton James, dean of the graduate school and head of the department of History at Northwestern university, on "Ideals in American History."

Mrs. Wooley, who received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Psychology of the University of Chicago in 1900, is the foremost woman psychologist in the world today. She comes from a unique and modern educational cen- ter--the Merrill-Palmer School of Home-making at Detroit, which has a real laboratory for the instruction of potential mothers and teachers. This is an unusual opportunity for the public to hear an authority on these subjects. Membership Drive November 1 marks the date of a very important membership drive for the Winnetka League, of Women Voters. Mrs. Frank Crawford, chdir- man of the membership committee, and Mrs. Walter T. Fisher, chairman of the Organization committee, are collaborating to make the two ensu- ing weeks following November 1 100 per cent successful. There are today over 600 members of the league in Winnetka. The goal is to. have © every woman in Winnetka a member. Every precinct captain will have sub- captains under her who will see that the co-operation of every member of the league in this effort will be se- cured. Their slogan will be "every member get a member." Those who join the league in October, November and December, 1923, need not pay dues again until January, 1925. Dues run from January to January, payable to Mrs. George Stanley Parker, 200 Lin- den street, and these extra 'three months' membership arc given gratis to those who join now. Would Double Membership Fach member securing one member means doubling the present member- ship list, which will make for strength, and a strong organization opens the door of opportunity to the women of ihe state to reach every fellow-citizen effectively through educational ser- vice. With such a strong backing the League of Women Voters can always gets results when they go before the officials, legislators and voters of their country for action on public questions. To share in 'the local [earue activities affords the women of Winnetka a chance to 'prepare themselves for going to the polls with honest satisfaction because they will know how to make their votes count for better government. The - 'three «reat aims of the League of Women Voters are "(1) to make intelligent citizens of ourselves; (2) to better the conditions under which we 'and our children live; and (3) to strive at all times for higher political ideals." Hockey Teams Simply Can't Break That Tie The girls' hockey team of the North Shore Country Day school played its second "3 to 3" tie game with the Winnetka Woman's team Tuesday, October 23. The results of the"games] reveal the fact that the teams are very evenly matched. The teams are playing an unlimited series. NOTICE TO RADIO FANS It is announced by a Winnetka read- er and radio fan 'that on the night of November 6, from 9 until 11 o'clock | p. m. there will be broadcasted from station WOAW, Omaha, a very in- terestine concert consisting of the old. fa honed vocal and .instrumenta' numbers. t "GREEN STOCKINGS" PROMISES REAL FUN "The play's the thing," so the adage runs. And "Green Stockings" is the play! Tt will appear in all its de- lightful humor on the evenings of November] 7 and 8 in Cammunity House. Who is giving it? The Win- netka Players of the Community Drama club. The plot is simple and direct. The situations are unique and amusing. Present day atmosphere, bright repartee, and last, but not least, an imaginary lover who--but why spoil the story?--all these afford a fine chance for clever acting. It must be seen to be appreciated. There are no dull moments, and the fact that it will be given by the Winnetka Players, vouches for the character of the work. These people need no in- troduction to the Winnetka public which has had a number of opportuni- ties to enjoy their work before. This play is a charming vehicle of sparkling action and will be presented by the following cast: Messrs. Mil- ton Higgins, Lloyd Faxon, Stanley Simpson, Ralph Varney, Alfred Free- man, Charles Eastman, Donald Mur- ray, Mesdames John C. Marshall, Harry Cadenhead, Merritt Lum, Miss Leola Stafford and Miss Marigold Langworthy. It is given under the direction of Mrs. Sherman Goble as- sisted by Miss Marigold Langworthy. The proceeds from the admission charge will go towards the curtains which will be needed for the stage in the Center room in the new addition to Community House. Just remember "Green Stockings," Wednesday and Thursday, November 7 and 8. Mandamus Suit Started by Subdivision Owners A mandamus suit was filed against the Village of Winnetka this week by the owners of the Alles subdivision in the Skokie. The owners of the 40-acre tract south of Willow street and west of Locust street have taken legal action intended to compel approval of the plat of subdivision designated as Rosewood Terrace. The matter of the approval of the plat in question has been before the Vil- lage council for some time, it is stated, and, at a meeting on October 16, upon recommendation of the Plats and Zoning committee, the application. of the own- ers for approval of the plat was denied. The reason of its action was stated by the council to be due to the fact that "he. ordinance with reference 'to pre- liminary drainage of the property had not been completed. It is understood that the council is :ndeavoring to secure the services of John R. Montgomery, as special counsel to handle the case for the village. The subdivision in question is not under water, as is practically all of the Skokie territory, it is said. Measure- ments of the depth of water indicated from 2 to 6 inches on the Alles property and even greater depth in portions of the Skokie to the west. BUSINESS WOMAN NOW HAVE ORGANIZATION A meeting to discuss the possibilities of having a business woman's organi- zation was held last Tuesday evening in Community House. About thirty women were present. Mrs. Florence Preston was elected temporary chair- man and Miss Vinnie Irwin, temporary secretary. The women were enthusiastic over the possibilities of such an organi- zation. A committee was appointed to bring in nominations for officers, and a second committee to bring in suggestions for a constitution. The next meeting of the club will be held on Tuesday evening, October 20, in Community House at 8:30 o'clock. An invitation is cordially extended to all women in business in offices, fac- tories and mercantile establishments to be present at this meeting. As large an organization as possible is desired, and it is hoped that all business women who read this will make it a point to be present on Tuesday evening next.
