5 os: ror 3 VOL. XIII, Ne. 35 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SXTOROAY, NO BESTE: 8 io TWENTY-TWO PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS WOMEN VOTE 83 PERCENT STRONG One Precinct in Winnetka Exceeds Vote Pledged Voters' League WILL MEET MONDAY To Hear Talk on Sheppard- Towner Bill Presentation of the records of the remarkable number of women voters who cast their ballots on Tuesday is to be a prominent feature of the second monthly meeting of the Win- netka League of Women Voters, call- ed for Monday, November 10, at Com- munity House, at 12:30 o'clock. Two thousand and forty-eight wom- en cast their votes in Winnetka on Tuesday. This is by actual count of tellers at the polls. - As the total woman voting power of the village is 2476, this represents 83 percent of the possible women's vote. In April only 56 percent of the women voters in the village went to the polls and the league set 75 per- cent as the goal for the November election, but the work of the league's precinct chairmen was so thorough, and the response of the Winnetka women so ready, that the anticipated goal was left behind like a mile post. Hear Child Labor Talk Following the presentation of these very interesting voting records, pre- cinct by precinct, and a brief ac- count of the story of getting out the votes, the meeting will be addressed by Mrs. Edward McCready, state chairman of the Child Welfare com- mittee of the Illinois League of Women Voters, who will discuss the Shep- pard- Towner Child Labor Act. Mrs. Harold S. Del.ay, chairman of membership, will then outline her plans for the one-month membership drive. The goal is set at 1,000 mem- bers for the Winnetka league, but, as the drive is to be carried on by the same precinct chairmen and block captains who so far surpassed their goal in getting out the vote, it will be no surprise to find that the league has 1000 members when the cam- paign closes. The usual inexpensive luncheon will be served to league members and their guests when the meeting opens at 12:30 o'clock. An honor guest of the league at the luncheon will be Miss Edith Rockwood, executive secretary of the Illinois League of Women Vot- ers, and a committe of three women from the league's Cook county com- mittee, who are coming to Winnetka that morning to study, with Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser, the city manager plan of government as it is operating in Winnetka. To Hear Dodd Lecture Mrs. Walter F. Dodd will give her second lesson in citizenship at the close of the meeting. The subject this month is "Governments over the Citizens of Winnetka." This is re- garded as particularly timely since the confusion of having so many can- didates for the federal, state and coun- ty offices on the ballot could not help but make the voters wonder on Tues- day, how many governments are over them and why there need to be so many. The actual count of women who cast their ballots last week, compared to the number who pledged to vote, is as follows: Count of Women Votes Precinct 4--pledged vote 367, actual vote 306; precinct 5-- pledged vote 200, actual vote 205; precinct 6-- pledged vote 284, actual vote 215; pre- cinct 7--pledged vote 229, actual vote 99; precinct 24-- (formerly part of 7) --pledged vote 111, actual vote 110; precinct 8--pledged vote 197, actual vote 211; precinct 25 (formerly part of 8)--pledged vote 172, actual vote 176; precinct 9--pledged vote 164, ac- tual vote 184; precinct 10--pledged vote 150, actual vote 182; precinct 11 --pledged vote 209, actual vote 360. Total--pledged vote 2083, actual vote 2048. Vote at primaries 1074. Among the women who helped make out these records, standing at the polls on Tuesday and marking down the women voters as they came in, were Mrs. William Nichols, Mrs. L. A. Janney, Mrs. Joseph Brown, Mrs. Charles Strong, Mrs. W. . Shoe- maker, Mrs. Frank Solomon, Mrs. F. Jacobsen, Mrs. Robert Mehren, Mrs. H. F. Delay, Mrs. A. E. Tilroe, Mrs. Montague Ferry, Mrs. Ryerson Gates, Mrs. L. A. Weary, Mrs. Roger Sher- man and Mrs. C. E. Melhope. HOLD TAG DAY FOR BED-RIDDEN VETERANS There will be a tagging and general 'solicitation in Winnetka today, the oc- casion being national Forget-Me- Not day, and the contributions directed into the fund to be used by the Dis- abled American Veterans of the World War to aid those wounded and dis- abled soldiers who are confined in government institutions. The Winnetka Woman's club and various other organizations including" the Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls are cooperating with the Verterans' organi- zation in the promotion of the Forget- Me-Not fund campaign. Volunteer workers and soldiers, as well as children in schools through- out the country have been engaged in recent weeks in making the little forget-me-not flowers which will be given to contributors as an earnest of their thoughtfulness in remember- ing the men who are still "living the war" on hospital cots and in wheel chairs. Pledges and endorsements of whole- hearted support have been streaming into headquarters of the Disabled Veterans' unit at the Great Lakes Naval training station, and it is an- ticipated that the north shore vil- lages will exceed their contributions of last year. Mrs. Marry M. Lay is chairman of the Winnetka Forget-Me-Not campaign. Forget-Me-Not contributions may be made at a later date with the chairman if it is not convenient for the prospec- tive givers to make their donations today. LEGION READY FOR BIG 'FEED' State Commander to be at Armistice Banquet The biggest dinner of its kind ever held by an American Legion post in this section of the country, is the aim of the committee in charge of pre- parations for the Armistice dinner to be held by Winnetka Post, No. 10, of the American Legion Tuesday night, November 11, at Wheeling. Howard P. Savage, state commander of the American Legion, Fred B. Mc- Guire, seventh district commander, and Ferry C. Watkins, judge advocate general of the American Legion of Illinois, are among the visitors and speakers who will attend the dinner. Legionnaires who intend to attend the dinner must make reservations before tonight with the committee in charge which is composed of Mar- shall Knox, Clarence Schaefer and Fred Richardson, or with Post Com- mander Thomas J. Lynch. It will be impossible to accommodate those who do not make their reservations to- day. It has been stated by members of the legion who have inside informa- tion regarding the menu, that "such eats were never prepared for one sitting." The cooking, it is stated, is to be in charge of a chef and as- sistants noted for their ability to put up tasty and delicious food. "This isn't going to be the type of dinner where you starve," commented a legionnaire who made his reserva- tions many days ago. "We're going to have good food and a whole lot of it, and then just think of the prominent men who are going to at- tend and speak. There's food for the mind, too. In addition to the speakers and eats there is to be an interesting program which will include special entertain- ment. The nature of the entertain- ment is not to be divulged until the legionnaires and friends gather at Wheeling. Merchants to Discuss Skokie Park Land Plan The question of the disposition of cer- tain land tracts in the Skokie, under dis- cussion at various recent public hearings before the Winnetka Park district, will be taken up at_a special meeting of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce Mon- day evening, November 10, at Com- munity House. Facts and figures concerning the pro- position will be available at the meeting it is announced, and every business man in the village is urged to enter into the discussion. BANKS CLOSED TUESDAY The Winnetka State Bank and the Winnetka Trust and Savings Bank will be closed all day next Tuesday, Armistice Day. GUILD COMEDY 2 "Echanted Cottage" ular Venture is Pop- By PLAYGOER "The Enchanted Cottage," a comedy and fantasy by Pinero, bids fair to take a place among the most popular produc- tions of the North Shore Theater Guild. There is comedy, pathos, and an idea Guy Stuart Bailey worth taking home; there is a well-de- signed and elaborate set; an experienced cast; a novelty in the second act--a pantomine which is quite different from anything yet attempted. The whole in the hands of a skillful professional di- rector. Mrs. William Ogden Coleman, whose training well qualifies her in this re- spect, has charge of the action and danc- 'ng in the pantomine. Those who saw the play at Kenilworth are lavish in their praise of its charm and finish. Solo dances are give: Hy Mrs. Edward Ellis and Henry Lane of Winnetka, Miss Julia Hanks, teacher of dramatic art at Roycemore and Neil Skinner of Evanston, Miss Evelyn Brown and Cow- ells Strickland of Evanston. These solo- ists are assisted by 30 others in making the pantomine an artistic feature. The music for the feature was writ- ten by Mrs. Henry Sulcer of Chicago, and is in charge of Mrs. William D. McAdams of Winnetka, assisted by a violinist and 'cellist. Residents of the north shore towns are especially favored this season in having the best in music brought to their very doors. This would be manifestly impossible in regard to the professional theater. The North Shore Theater Guild aims, how- ever, to set the highest standard of dramatic art possible in amateur produc- tions, and to satisfy a public eager to see and hear the best. Alexander Dean of the School of Speech of Northwestern university, will have charge of all the productions of 'the year, which alone predicts a successful season. The original group of players who have acted in the past three seasons will be called upon throughout the year, augmented con- stantly by new talent. It is an advantage in many ways to have membership tickets. These may still be obtained at the doors at any of the performances, or from Mrs. J. C. West, Gordon terrace, Winnetka. The remaining schedule of perform- ances includes Winnetka, November 8 and 10; Evanston, November 11. Make This Your Home!

CHURCH MAY GET NEW NAME SOON At Any Rate Pastor Will Preach About It For some years the question whether its present name is the best has been a matter of earnest inquiry among the people of the Winnetka Congregational church. Last spring the Church council declared its conviction that some change ought to be made and appointed a com- mittee, which has not yet reported, to suggest that change. The council also requested that Rev. James A. Richards, the pastor, preach on the subject to- morrow morning, endeavoring to state all the arguments on both sides. The proposal really involves larger matters than at first appear. Accordingly, Mr. Richards has given his sermon tomorrow morning the topic, "What's in a Name?' Intelli- gence on this important matter will be needed to act wisely, he suggests. At the close of worship, there will be opportunity to enroll with the Red Cross for its new year. The Young People's club, for those of high school age, will discuss the sub- ject, "The Church and the School," led by Frances Ranney. They meet from 7 to 8 o'clock and are glad to have all young folks come in to their meet- ings. At 8 o'clock, the first of the series of Sunday evening meetings planned for November will be addressed by Williard W. Beatty, principal of Skokie school. His subject will be "The Public School and Ethical Training,"--a question often debated. Mrs. Burton F. Atwood will be the soloist. This is open to all Win- netka people, and will be of interest to the whole community. Masons Will Hold Stag Party Armistice Night The most unusual surprise ever known in connection with a similar affair is promised by those who are responsible for the Masonic Stag which is to be held at the Winnetka Masonic temple Tuesday evening, November 11. Those who are "in the know" refuse to divulge what it is all about but it is understood to be a "knock-out." Elaborate plans have been made to include everything which goes to make up a successful stag as far as this par- ticular event is concerned. At least fif- teen well known Winnetka men have been intrusted with tickets and their re- ports indicate that more than 400 will be in attendance. COOLIDGE WINS BY 10-1 HERE President Amasses 10,690 Votes in Total of 13,096 Cast in New Trier JONES SWAMPS SMALL Hope Thompson Polls Sur- prising Vote Winnetka voters went to the polls 4,239 strong on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the national, state and coun- ty elections. Several weeks ago 4,651 voters registered in the ten pre-cincts 'of the village, in most instances the voting at the various precincts closely approximated the registration. The total yote in New Trier town- ship was 13,096. New Trier township went 10 to 1 for Calvin Codlidge, the President amassing a total of 10,690 votes as against 966 for Davis and 963 for La Follette. Winnetka's teturns indicate that the proportion was maintained in the village. Small Trails Here In the gubernatorial ballot Norman E. Jones was an easy winner over. Governor Small, though the latter was given a majority in three west side Wilmette precincts. The vote for governor indicated clearly that most New Trier voters split the ballot to get in a vote for Jenes. In the senatorial election Charles: S. Deneen received general favor, polling a total of 8596 votes as against 3724 for Col. Albert Sprague, the democratic candidate. Sprague's vote was disappointing to many local Re- publicans who were interested in his candidacy. Although State's Attorney Crowe secured a huge majority here, be- cause of the consistent "straight" vot- ing on all Republican candidates, ex- cept Governor Small, Hope Thompson, the independent candidate for that office, did remarkably well, running considerably ahead of Michael Igoe, the Democratic entry. Crowe's total vote was 8249, Thompson was given 2287 and Igoe came third with 1910. Republican Landslide In the other state and county offices the Republican candidates were given an enormous majority along with the head of the ticket. Complete figures on the presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial and states attorney balloting in New Trier are given elsewhere in this issue of WiN- NETKA TALK. It is noteworthy that north shore residents are included among the winners in the election. They are Henry R. Rathbone of Kenilworth, Congressman-at-large (incumbent) ; Lewis B. Springer of Wilmette, Rep- resentative in the General Assembly (incumbent), and Mary Wilmarth Ickes of Hubbard Woods, trustee of the University of Illinois. Indian Hill Association Calls to Meeting Monday The Indian Hill Improvement associa- tion will hold its regular monthly meet- ing in the Mess hall at New Trier high school Monday evening, November 10, at 8:15 o'clock. The association now boasts a paid-up membership of 375 home- -owners, by far the largest membership in its history. A contemplated campaign, in which every non-member resident of the south sec- tion of the village will be solicited, is ex- pected to materially enhance the present membership figure. Among other important matters, the association will discuss the Indian Hill business area question at Monday's session. An exceptionally attractive so- cial program is also planned to include selections by a male quartet and by Mrs. Harvey Brewer, well known violinist. Dance novelties are also promised. Re- freshments will be served. DINNER FOR JACKIES? Winnetka householders who are in- terested in providing a Thanksgiving dinner in their homes for one or more of the jackies at the Great Lakes naval training station are requested to communicate at once with Miss Valentine at the Hostess House at the training station. "BEAUCAIRE" TONIGHT The final showings of "Monsieur Beaucaire" will be at 2:30, 7:15 and 9 o'clock today at Community House. Be sure and come early to avoid the 'rush. TE a oa
