Lionel Robertson of Chicago will be the speaker of the evening, and will talk on "The Romance of Block Print- ing." Besides the address, Allen Phil- brick of Winnetka is scheduled to give an exhibition of etchings, and Harry Timmins is sending an interesting ex- hibition of paintings. Judging from his contributions to the last exhibition, his group of pictures will be most delightful. Lionel Robertson, the speaker, is well-known to Chicago and north shore people. He is a native of New York and a graduate of Cornell university. Aside from being an architect, Mr. Robertson has distinguished himself along other lines of specialized art. He in an interior decorator for Tobey's in Chicago, and is a designer of furniture for several large Chicago establish- ments. He is an advisor in design to many large stores, and is a designer of textiles. Mr. Robertson will bring experience as well as theory to his audience. The board of directors of the league met Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. J. W. F. Davies of 652 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, to discuss plans for the year and for the next meeting. Bring Xmas Stockings to Catholic League Dec. 14 "Our National Parks," will be the subject discussed by Mrs. E. Tolman, who will address the North Shore Catholic Woman's league at the Win- netka Woman's club, Tuesday, De- cember 14, at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Tol- man will illustrate her talk with nat- ural color pictures of the scenery she is describing. Aside from Mrs. Tol- man's address, there will be musical entertainment by Mrs. Sidney Beech, soprano, and Mrs. George Orr, ac- companist. This meeting is also set aside for the collection of the Christmas stock- ings to be distributed to the orphans of the St. Joseph home in Chicago. In order to be sure that everyone has the opportunity of contributing such a stocking, the committee asks that the members bring them to this December 14 meeting. The next sewing date of the league is announced for Tuesday, December 28. Meeting at the home of Mrs. Leo J. Hillman of 345 Park avenue, Glen- coe, the league will sew for St. Mar- garet's home. GARDEN CLUB TO MEET The Glencoe Garden club will hold its next meeting Monday, December 6, at 2 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. Carl S. Miner of 334 St. Palos road, Glen- At League School The second meeting of the Citizen- ship school of the League of Women Voters was held at Community House, Monday morning, at 10:45 o'clock, to discuss the Motor Drivers' License bill and the extension of the appropriation of the Sheppard-Towner bill. Mrs. G. L. Friedstedt led the discus- sion of the Motor Drivers' License bill. This bill, which is to act as a safety measure, passed in the senate but failed in our legislature, it is stated. It failed because it was seemingly tie- bound by restrictions. That drivers should pass tests of any manner was held unnecessary and so one of the best parts of the bill was done away with, it is announced. Yet something should be done about it, the league states. Twelve eastern states approve of this plan and are carrying it out to success. Illinois has not yet approved. The state of Con- necticut for five years has kept very close record of auto fatalities and in spite of the growing use of automo- biles, has maintained her original per- centage, whereas Illinois has doubled her fatalities during' that time. The public has to be educated to safety measures. Right here in Winnetka eighty-nine accidents have occurred in these ele- ven months of the year. Thirty-three and one third per cent were on public highways, and were chiefly due to speeding. it is announced. This bill is to come up in January. If you are interested, let your Senator know about it, the league urges. Another bill that the league hopes is to be introduced to this next term is that of the extension of the appro- priation of the Sheppard-Towner bill. This bill was passed in 1921 for a five year period. In April of 1922, funds were available for the protection of mothers and babies. After four years of good work this act must be extend- ed else the previous work shall have been of no avail. Onlv five states have not accepted this bill, the league announces: forty-three have been ap- proved and are making possible the following: child health conferences, examination of 594,136 babies in two vears, prenatal conferences, 74,659 mothers advised, establishment of 1,706 infant welfare stations, 245 prenatal centers, instruction of midwives, moth- er's classes, traveling motor clinics, etc. Mrs. C. F. Pearce, Jr., led this dis- cussion answering questions and point- ing out suggestions. Mrs. Hymen Raclin, Mrs. S. West- erfield and Mrs. R. S. Childs were hostesses, serving a delightful buffet luncheon in the International room. W. C. T. U.
