SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1920 Women In The Legion The admission to the American Legion of women who served in uni- form during the period of the war is an act of justice and courtesy that accords with the ideal of the organization. There never has been any adequate reason for exclusion of those women who voluntarily shared the hardships and what danger there was in the hospitals, the same hardships and dangers which the men of the merical corps endured, from an organization that included the men. Many women gave as unreservedly of themselves for their country as] the most heroic man in the American Legion. They exposed themselves to shell and shot. They went into the] mud. They did, without the stimu- lation of a consuming excitement, the duty that was given them to do, often under conditions to require the | utmost courage. They have earned al place in the organization, which as | time goes by, will represent to the] Americans of future generations the flower and chivalry of this. They are fitted to participate in the activities | of an organization that calls itself] a "patriotic society of soldiers, sail- | ors and marines of the Great War" | purpose it to "promote | peace and good will among the people | of the United States and all the na- tions of the earth and to consecrate | the efforts of its members to mutual helpfulness and service." ! The American would not have been complete without the women contribute so much to the comfort and the safety of the | men who served overseas. That | membership been extended to] these women reflects honor upon the | organization, far more than upon the | women who have been thus recogniz- ed as soldiers of the Great War. whose is Legion who has Same Old Remedy The Supreme Council of the League of Nations prescribes a panacea for the ills from which we are suffering, as all the world is suffering since the close of the war. It recommends a daily dosage of work, economy and sanity, on the part of the individual, and loans from those who have ready 'money to those who lack this con- venience in the reorganization of financial and industrial systems. There is nothing to which the pub- lic of today, the American public at least, and, so far as one may judge from reports, the public of other na- tions, as well, is less disposed than the practice of the virtues of thrift, industry, common sense and mutual helpfulness to overcome the disturb- ing conditions that characterize the times. We should rejoice if there were power reposed in the Supreme Council to enforce the program which it so lightly outlined, but the fact must be reckoned with that there is no such power, that is can only rec- ommend and contribute what it may to the development of a public senti- ment that will support such a pro- gram, individual first, and then na- tional. The fault lies in ourselves, not in our governments, that we are endur- ing the conditions that exist today. Untill we make up our minds to change them they will continue to | ensure Liza d Indian Hill Park Fund Booming " dizzee Es The fund to give south-east Win- netka a park is starting off glorious- ly. The subscriptions are already $2,000 although the organization of workers and the canvas of owners is just getting under way. Most of the subscriptions thus far are for $100 each and, with one exception, every- one asked has subscribed. It is ru- mored that some large subscriptions are coming as soon as the average citizen shows his or her interest by doing what he can. The early success of this drive has been due to the enthusiastic efforts of Mesdames Coran T. Davis, S. C. Hancock, C. B. Hill, I. A. Needham and A. E. Phillips. Other prominent Indian Hill ladies are now being added to the Ladies' committee and later announcement will be made. Putting aside, for the moment, all sentiment, and civic pride, business acumen alone counsels in favor of this park. What increases the sell- ing value of property in any resident- ial section? Is it not the high-grade surroundings and the keeping out of commercialism? Three years will seé every subscription returned many times over in increased valuation, and this applies to every property tribu- tary to Indian Hill stations. The park is a simple business proposition. Ask any real estate man. Indian Hill is now in a formative stage. A little push at this time, one way or the other, means big things for the direction of its growth. Every citizen of south-east Winnetka is now going to give the community a push, upward or downward. Which way do your interests lie? There is no popular subscription proposed which means such a direct return for the money invested. Popu- iar subscription is the cheapest way to get any public improvement. There are no costs of collection. Public- spirited citizens do the work and no- body wants to be a slacker. Indian Hill is now inviting cheap- ness by having the ugliest station surroundings on the north shore. It will be different soon. Let's stop apologizing to our visitors and show we mean business. That is all the Park Board needs to come to our aid. Let's prove that when south-east Winnetka wants something, we back it up with some thing besides talk. The success or failure of this drive will have a far-reaching effect on other things Indian Hill is advocat- ing. No group of people ever gets very far without co-operation. y New railroad station buildings are coming soon. If we get the park first, the new buildings will be made to harmonize. Let's emulate Kenil- worth, and remember what Glencoe is obliged to do for lack of earlier preparation. - It takes $40 for every lot from Wil- low street south to make this won- derful park a reality. Users of the stations will walk through it twice every time they go to town. Your children will meet you there under the trees when you return, and they will live to praise the foresight that made this a healthy and beautiful community of homes. --Indian Hill Improvement Association. Immigration And Disease A warning has been issued that there should be a particular guard against the admission of typhus and bubonic plague with the immigrants who are in increasing numbers seek- ing entrance to the United States.| The miseries of the war have been heavy among these people of the south central states of Europe, and the post-war conditions have not been much more endurable than those that obtained during the period of the actual fighting. Disease has ravaged these countries whose people have been so undernourished for so many months that their endurance has been broken down. It entirely that the epidemics from which they are escaping in coming to quite is possible America may accompany them here. It is the task of the immigration of- ficers to that the physical in- spection is sufficiently thorough to safety to this country from the introduction of the plagues which thrive in Europe. S€¢€ need of America for the im- migrant is quite as urgent as his need for the opportunity that America offers. Our labor scarcity cries out The for recruiting 'to the ranks of un- skilled labor men and women of Eu- rope who have the strength to do it and lack the skill to do anything else. But we must temper our welcome of the immigrant by the consideration of the possibilities that he presents in the way of introduction of disease and uphold such public sentiment as will encourage the immigration in- spection officials to attend so in- dustriously to their task that there shall be no chances taken on the ad- mission of dangerous or suspicious persons. Hoover, A Republican? Herbert Hoover is expected to an- nounce his affiliantion with the Re- publican party, an expectation which, should it develop into fact, will sur- prise a large and enthusiastic follow- ing of Democrats who will begin to reconsider what they have said as to his qualifications for nomination for presidential honors. Mr. Hoover has made rather a mys- tery of his political creed, perhaps in perfectly good faith. It may be be- cause he is in the same boat with many others who are not able to de- fine for themselves what are the prin- ciples of the two parties and nobody seems to be in a position to help them to discover them. Herbert Hoover may quite honestly not know whether he is a Democrat of a Republican if he happens to be of the calibre that basses affiliation upon principles and not upon men.

ENERGY WASTE "Enough hydro-electric energy is running to waste here in the United States to equal the daily labor of one billion, eight hundred million men," according to Franklin K. Lane, who has just resigned as secretary of the interior. He says this vast amount of "white fuel" is being wasted because of the failure to provide sufficient in- centive fro private capital to harness and develop it in" the nation's good. WILD HERDS INCREASE In the ten years since the Montana National Bison Range was estab- lished the 37 buffaloes with which the herd was started have increased to 296. In addition there are on the range 125 elk (not including calves of last year), 33 antelope and 13 mule deer. It is believed that the range is large enough to support 800 bison, 1400 antelope, 500 deer, and 800 elk.

The reason-- it was announced yesterday that the Spring vacation period in both the grammear schools and New Trier high school would begin Friday, March 26, when all the buildings will be closed until April 5th-Easter Monday. Hence the unrestrained Joy. GETS EMPLOYMENT AGENCY The Lindgren Employment agency at the M. K. Meyer's Bank building on Elm street, is soon to change hands.
