'BOY SCOUT EXPOSITION WILL BE HELD IN MAY Arrangements are being perfected for the opening of the first exposi- tion to be given under the auspices of the Chicago branch of the Boy Scouts of America. The exposition, in which 2,000 boys will take part, | will be held May 4 and 5 at the Sec-' ond Regiment armory, 2725 West Madison avenue. The bridge will include operation of signaling, first demonstrations building, the wireless apparatus, aid, woodcraft, and the erection of camps. An immense drum and bugle corps is being drilled daily. Special interest is being manifested in the exposition by the boys because of their probable service in connec- tion with the army in war. The pro- ceeds of the gate will be used for the equipment and enlargement to 15,- 000 members. Of course the food price investiga- tors shouldn't be expected to evolve any brilliant new ideas unless their minds are stimulated by high priced cigars. \ The same boarder who clamors for potatoes now is the one who used to grow! because the landlady was al- MILWAUKEE CHAMPIONS WILL MEET NEW TRIER Promising Water Contests Booked for Kenilworth Tank April 14-- Exhibits. Special. Feature New Trier swimmers are preparing for the big event next Saturday, April 14, when the champions of Wiscon- sin, the Milwaukee Y. M. C. A. aquatic aggregation, will 'endeavor to lift the scalps of the Kenilworth water dogs in a meet to be staged in the local natatorium. The Milwaukee team has been m~ terially strengthened by the addition of several ex-college stars, including Harold Buckland, former University of Pittsburgh and Leland Stanford university premier swimmer. In the 80-yard back stroke Buckland easily forged away from Dennett, New Trier's best swimmer in this class, at the meet held a few weeks ago in the Cream City. The same evening the New Trier juniors will meet the men from Lane Tech in a contest for water honors. The Jass band has promised to en-| liven the occasion with new music | and several special numbers will be | run off as preliminaries. A water basketball game with Evanston High, winners of the Western title, will! furnish additional interest. Those smart fellows who write the articles urging farmers to keep strict sets of books may not be able to locate where they spent more than half of their last week's pay envelope. From the unmasculine way in which we have stood up for our rights in the recent crisis, perhaps Uncle Sam should be known as Aunt Sam. Wall street might not feel so averse to war if they could have six hours' advance leak on the information. Lenten fare is highly of by ready for a prolonged attack pepsia later on. It is considered all right in Europe to drown women and children as they ought to be thankful not to be suffo- cated by asphyxiating gases. Perhaps Uncle Sam might pass on to congress that cage he was going to put Villa in, as a suitable place in disapproved a lot of people who are getting of dys- MACDOWELL MUSICAL CLUB The club held its regular April meeting Monday at the home of Mrs. Burlingham. The program was from the opera "Carmen." Mrs. Ascheim read a paper and Mr. Ratcliffe, the assisting guest of the afternoon, sang "The Toreador." Miss Green sang "Segurdilla" and "Hananera." An ar- rangement for four hands was played by Miss Higgins and Mrs. Byron. After the "Carmen," Mr. Ratcliffe sand "Belshazzer," by Schumann; "War," by Rogers, and "A Negro Ser- mon," by Cook. tbh AN EXPRESSION OF LOYALTY German-American employes at a St. Louis brewery insisted on the discharge of a fellow employee who refused to salute the American flag they had purchased with their own money and hoisted over the estab- lishment. This precisely what might have been expected from pat- riotic American employes of German birth or descent. SHOULD JOIN THE ARMY is WINNETKA ELECTION IS QUIET Northrop Overwhelmingly Defeated Miller -- Others Uncontested. Election day in Winnetka was marked by no excitement or unusual activities, so far as the voting for the village ticket was concerned. The candidates presented by the citizens party were naturally elected without diffculty, the only contest being be- tween Messrs. Miller and Northrop for the office of police magistrate. Mr. Northrop defeated his opponent four and one-half to one, receiving 443 votes as against 99 cast for Miller. hd IS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DUE? Painters & Decorators J. F. ECRART Zines FOR SALE.
