XV, NO. 4 WINNETKA, ILLINO IS, JANUARY 29, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS EYEWITNESS TO TELL OF MEXICAN AFFAIRS Paul Hutchinson, Resident of Winnetka and Wellknown Jour- nalist, Talks Here Sunday Paul Hutchinson of 1028 Cherry street, Winnetka, managing editor of "The Christian Century," one of the most liberal, non-sectarian papers in the country, has just returned from a two weeks' trip to Mexico, where he interviewed every person of importance from President Calles, and the Secre- tary of Agriculture, Ramirez Carrillo, head of the legal department of the Commerce, Industial and Labor, and author of the Oil Law, to the men in control of the oil interests and several Catholic bishops, as the representative of the Christian Science Monitor. Mr. Hutchinson has returned with a mesage of keen interest to all persons able to read the newspapers today, in other words, for all who are interested in the international policies of the United States. He will make two pub- lic addresses in Winnetka, the first, Sunday evening at the Winnetka Con- gregational church, his subject being "An American Looks on Mexico." Mr. Hutchinson plans to relate what he saw, experienced and observed from the point of view of an American. Addr: Ww Wednesday His second talk will be made before the Woman's society of the Winnetka Congregational church at its meeting, Wednesday, February 2, directly fol- lowing luncheon. At this time he will discuss more particularly the political situation in Mexico as related to their country. Mr. Hutchinson interviewed Presi- dent Calles whom he pronounced a strong and extremely well-liked, al- most beloved man in Mexico. Candid, and astonishingly frank this man was unafraid, apparently, to explain his at- titude. After an interview of several hours the president admitted his will- ingness to arbitrate the difficult ques- tion involving land and oil at The Ha- gue or some other similar place. Louis Morones, secretary of the department controlling the land and oil question, of Commerce, Industry and Labor, Mr. Hutchinson considered the next strong- est man in the country. The third man in point of power and influence in the present government is Ramirez Car- rillo, he said. In addition to these leaders, Mr. Hutchinson will tell his audiences of his trip with the Secretary of Agri- culture. This man is heading the movement so distasteful to many American interests. With land and people in a dreadful condition, with most of Mexico belonging to a cer- tain group of men, this man purposes to, in a sense, loan it to the peons after giving them proper education and instruction. HEAR VILLAGE PRESIDENT Village President John S. Miller was the speaker at the Winnetka Rotary club luncheon last Friday. He surveyed municipal affairs in a general way, cited completed and contemplated im- provements and commented optimis- tically regarding problems now con- fronting the Village administration.

James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congregational church de- livered the graduating address at the Nicholas Senn High school, Wednes- day night, January 26. The occasion was the graduation of the mid-year class which completed its work this month. Rotarians Favor Bringing Chinese Scholar for Study Members of the Winnetka Rotary club have expressed keen interest in the proposition to bring to Winnetka a cultured Chinese student, who would be permitted to study in this country by virtue of contributions toward his expenses made by Winnetkans. The idea originated with Dr. J. W. F. Davies, minister of education in Winnetka Congregational church, who broached the matter to the Rotarians a few weeks ago. The plan is to se- cure $25 a year for two years from each of sixty men in the community, the aggregate amount thus subscribed being sufficient to permit the student to pursue his studies here for two years. The direct benefit accruing to the community from this arrangement would be an exchange of cultural ideas between China and the United States. LEGION HEAD GUEST Ferre C. Watkins, Illinois State Com- mander, to Speak to Winnetka Post in Matz Hall, February 17 Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, will be honored at a meeting Thursday evening, February 17, by the presence of Ferre C.

Group Also Contributes : In addition to the valuable aid these teams will lend to the drive, the Cherry Circle is giving a benefit bridge party at Community House, at 2 o'clock, February 11, the proceeds to go toward the fund for the hospital. For those who are uninformed re- garding the work of the hospital its leaders point out that it was founded in 1865 by Dr. Mary Harris Thompson, the second woman physician to practice in Chicago. It cared for widows and or- phans of soldiers in the Civil war. It was destroyed in the Chicago fire, and finally built permanently at 1712 West Adams street. It specializes in treat- ment for women and children, and is staffed entirely by women physicians, surgeons and nurses. It provides edu- cation and training for women in- ternes, and was the first hospital in Chicago to inaugurate a training school for women nurses. , ; Miss Mary Garrettson, village nurse in Winnetka, is a graduate of the training school, and Dr. Alice Barlow- Brown, formerly of Winnetka, and now in China, at one time conducted a clinic at this hospital. The North Shore Catholic Woman's League has already contributed a sub- stantial amount to the fund.
