Big Bill Thompson, the mayor of Chicago. is still at it. He is still determined that nothing "English” shall remain in his beloved city of Chicago. His latest is to declare that English is not the official lan- guage of Illinois. It is ‘Am.erican” Bill ieminds us of the storv of the motion picture pioducer “ho im- ported an alien star. He announced "She’s a nize girl. and I'm gonna loin her English.” PAGE 4. We would have liked to have seen Chicago‘s mayor the ’other night when. at a Chicago gath- ering. his name was hissed. While that of King George was cheered. Evidently the decent people of Chicago are genuinely fatigued over having a huffoon for a mayor, but it is extremely doubtful if there are enough of this kind ot' peOple in the Windy City to defeat him at the next election. €355; Yevdi-sb-Jich ia.c‘ol_lectvor to To- ronto or some other elty to pu.t.up the funds to meet these charltles, 'how much woum he 32?: nun-An nn‘C? .-\ contributor to The Toronto Globe ei‘uiects that paper for a statement it made in saying that Soâ€"and-So \\ as iaised to a baronet cy and explaining the difference in some of the titles used in the Bri- tish Isles.

We do not wish to make it appear that we are out of step with the idea of charitable giving and the rendering of assist- ance to those who need it. but our candid Opinion is that the om: who derives the most benefit is he or she who tours the country, ships at the best hotels and makes the canvass. \Vith the. average amount. contribut- ed in each town, we are of the opin- ion that the greater part is spent in travelling expenses. And of course these canvassers do not. work for nothing.

Porter gave a well rendered solo, and Miss Phebe Wolfe gave an excellent paper on “How and what to serve for the Thanks- giving dinner.” A paper prepared by Miss Belle McGirr was read by different members of the Institute.

A, very hearty vote of thanks was tendered Miss McGirr for her time spent of the preparation of this ex- cellent paper, which contained much valuable information and was highly appreciated by the Institute.
