poss RL Standing practically on the site of the old clubhouse and following the plan of hominess and inviting rustic- ity which endeared the old to the hearts of the club members, the new Glenview Golf club clubhouse, has come in plan form from the hands of the architects and has been submitted to the members for their approval. Timber and plaster construction HOLD GOVERNMENT CLASS FOR WOMEN OF NEW TRIER ~ New Trier Township Government class, conducted by Mrs. Kenneth ~ Rich of Hull House, Chicago, meets every Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, at the Winnetka Woman's ~ club house. This class is not ex- clusively for club mémbers but is in- 'tended for every woman in the town- ship. Women are asking so many questions about the political ma- chinery of the city, state and county and are in many cases getting un- satisfactory answers to their ques- tions. "Set aside the next three Mondays at 1:30 o'clock and attend these lessons, so that you may be better ~ informed about matters that every intelligent citizen should know," say 'the leaders of the class. : "It would seem from the small ~ number of women who voted at the primary election on September 16," they conclude, "that many of our Winnetka women are not yet fully awake to their individual respons- ibility as citizens. Every woman should consider her voting not only as a privilege but as a duty and should let nothing prevent her going to the polls and expressing herself there in the name of good govern- LEGION TO ASK ALL EX- SERVICE MEN REINSTATE Officers Prepared To Assist in Every 'Way To Insure Protection of World War Fighters ~The state of Illinois sent 320,000 men into the military service during the world war. All of these men carried Government insurance while in the service but since their dis- charge three-fourths of that number, not knowing the value of that in- surance, have allowed it to lapse and today are ignorant as to their rights regarding reinstatement. The insurance dropped amounts to over one and one-half billion dollars. Under the supervision of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance Represent- ative E. V. Dickson, of Chicago, the American Legion will conduct an in- tensive campaign during the next three months in an endeavor to have all ex-service men who have allowed ~ their insurance to lapse reinstated. "Now, fellows," reads an official statement, "a great many of you took out insurance against your will while in the service, but this was one time the government was right. You needed the protection and you were given it at a very cheap rate. Since you have returned from the service you need the protection more than ever and you still get the advantage of the same low rate. ~ "The men in charge of the Amer- ican Legion Posts will be glad te ex- 'plain the benefit of Government In- surance to you, if you will only give them a chance. If you haven't rein- stated your insurance call at once at the American Legion post and talk _ it:over with them. They can prove to you that it is the best, safest and cheapest insurance you can possibly "» POLICE CHIEF CAPTURES 4 : - COPPERS' "GUN" CONTEST 'Chief of police Peterson, accom- aled which is to be used gives the club- house an appearance in harmony with the grounds and assures that the building will be entirely fireproof. The interior, with the kitchen, din- ing room, living rooms, halls and parlors, is much in the same arrange- ment as in the old club. On the second floor there will be ten sleep- ing rooms for the accommodation of the members. Probably the most distinctive and test of target skill. Hanselman and Balko were both handicapped by "unbroken" re- volvers, the weapons having been purchased Wednesday. The result was that neither damaged the target. Their "boss" however demonstrated that his eye is still in "condition" by tearing the paper objects to smith- ereens. The chief's best score was made with the "minnie gun" at an ap- proximate distance of 75 feet. At that distance he hit the "objects of his wrath" six times out of a possible eight and two of the bullets pierced the "bull's eye". = VILLAGE OF WINNETKA NOTICE Winnetka, Ill, Oct. 30, 1920.
