WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921 al 03 i> PR: > Activities o | North Shore Clubs "_ by Ruth Risley x | < N| north shore residents hE) T >) ILLIAM A. OTIS, prominent Winnetka civic leader, is ¢ to discuss "Track Depression" at an open meeting of at the Winnetka Woman's club, Monday evening, February 28. The subject of track depression in the instance of railway right ~ of ways in the north shore villages, is considered of vital interest to every resident in the township. 'An invitation is extended to all residents of the north shore interested in track depression, a project under consideration by the Plan Commissions in every village in the township. v The twenty-sixth anniversary of the founding of The Neigh- bors of Kenilworth was celebrated yesterday afternoon at a meet- ing of that organization. The program was in charge of Mrs. John Howard Jones, and was presented by members of the club. », AG The Conservation committee of the; Second District of the Illinois Fed- eration of Women's clubs will hold | its second annual birdhouse exhibit from March 14 to 19 at Field's. The exhibit is a movement for the pro- tection of our wild birds. Owing to the removal of the dead trees which were the natural resting sites of many of our birds ,we must supply these birds with made bird boxes if we want them to nest around Chi- cago. It is also a means of saving our trees for the birds eat great quantities of insects. On the educa- tional side, the exhibit forcefully di- rects attention to bird study, teaching people to know and love birds. Believing that this bird conserva- tion movement should start with the children, the committee' has enlisted the help of the school children of Cook county, who are busy making birdhouses and posters and thereby learning about the birds and their 'habits. The most correctly built houses from each school will be selected for the exhibit, and later hung in the forest preserve. "On the Trail of Our Earliest An- cestors," is the subject of the lecture to be given by Prof. James A. Breasted of the University of Chi- cago, on Thursday afternoon, Feb- fyary 24, at the Winnetka Woman's club. ~~ As a writer, collécior aud historian, - and a professor of Egyptology, Ori- ental history, and the Semitic lan- guages, Professor Breasted is well known not only in the United States but in the old world as well, hav- ing given valuable aid in classfy- ing and inscribing the collections of many of the great universities and museums of Europe and the Far- East. Professor Breasted tells an unusu- ally interesting story of his exper- iences in the different where his work has %ed him, espec- ially in Mesopotamia and in Egypt. A lecture of this type should attract a large audience.
