© WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATU OPEN FORUM FEATURES "INDIAN HILL SESSION Community Sing and Social Numbers By Quartet Are Other Attractions A For Association Meeting Several new features are, to be in- troduced at the next meeting of the adian Hill Improvement association which is to be held at the New Trier High school on next Monday even- ing, March 14. Promptly at 8 o'clock the meeting will open, the first half-hour being devoted to Community singing under the leadership of Mrs. A. O. Wilcox of the Chicago Association of Com- merce Glee club. Following this feature a male quartet, made up of some of the best talent in Indian Hill, will render several numbers. Business at 8:30 The business session of the even- "ing will begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock and will be concluded at 9:30. The entire business session will be given over to an Open Forum for the discussion of current problems, and ways and means of accomplish- ing the objectives of the association. It is expected that such a discussion ~ will prove interesting to all present, as well as productive of a. number of constructive ideas which might other- wise not be obtained. Tol'owing the business meeting there will be refreshments and danc- ing. Indications point strongly toward a repetition of the large attendance and marked interest which has characterized previous meetings of the association. At the last meeting of the association the district west of the railroad right-of-way was annex- ed to that which formerly constitut- ed the association's territory and it is expected that a representation will be present from that section to join forces in furthering the good work which the association is doing : WHO CARES ABOUT BULLETS ~ WHEN BOOZE IS TO BE HAD? An occasional whistling bullet failed to jostle the composure of a group of booze-bandits early Sunday morning while engaged in the very absorbing business of withdrawing quantities of gin and whisky from the basement ~ of the Rush Butler home at the southwest limits of the village. © Though outside the jurisdiction of 'Winnetka police, the local minions of the laws hastened to the Butler home shortly before dawn Sunday in response to anxious summons from that quarter. When the police ar- rived the culprits had had sufficient opportunity to negotiate an effective get-away in the general direction of the tall buildings down in the big city. Twelve cases of gin and whisky comprised the loot. Revolver shots, 'said to have been discharged from an upper floor of the Butler home, fail- ad to frighten away the busy burg- ars. > L 2 TT ---- WHO OWNS SILVERWARE WITH INITIAL "M" ENGRAVINGS? Chief of Police Peterson has some pieces of silver plate ware bear- ing the initial "M", found last week by Evanston police in the prairie region west of Evanston. Chief of Police Leggett of Evans- ton announced last week the discov- ery of a quantity of silver plate and ~~ inexpensive jewelry in that vicinity. In the plateware there were sets of oyster forks, bullion spoons and salad forks marked with the initial "M", old English design. There were also found the works of a Waltham watch, a ring with the stone missing and several watch chains and broches. "The articles were evidently stolen from some place along the north shore," said Chief Leggett. "The owner may have them by calling at the Evanston station and furnishing satisfactory evidence of ownership." YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN; IT'S NOT A CIRCUS BUS No, dear children, that aluminum gray, red, striped motor vehicle you 'see ambling about on the thorough- fares of this town, is not part of the equipment of Ringling Brothers. It is, rather, the possession of Her- bert W. Paulson, painter and decorat- or, whose place of business is 909 Lin- den avenue, Hubbard Woods. In viewing the thing,--that's was someone called the contraption--, one learns that Paulson is "the man with ideas." Some idea. Standing out in bold, we were about to say relief, one beholds a painter- man applying a wide strip of paint. It's all very funny. AT EVANSTON HOSPITAL Mrs. Clark T. Northrop, 1144 North avenue, Hubbard Woods, was taken to the Evanston hospital Thursday of this week for special treatment. Tt was stated a slight operation might cess fr-- Woman's Cluh -- A regular meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club was held on Thursday, March 10, at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Porter in the chair. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and ap- proved. The following announce- ments were made: Owing to a mistake of the printer the announcement on the program cards for this month in regard to a business meeting on March 28 is in- correct, and should read a business meeting of the Drama Study Class will be held on Monday, March 28, at | 2:30 P.M. A change of the announced program of the Drama Study Class has been necessaty. Mrs. Laird Bell's paper on George Bernard Shaw, accom- panied by readings of his works by Mrs. E. V. L. Brown, has been post- poned until March 14. "Pelleas Mel- istande" which was to have been given on that date, was read on Feb- ruary 28 by Mrs. Albert H. Veeder, Jr. It may be of interest to a great many parents to know that Mr. R. J. Shortledge, Headmaster of Dr. CH. Henderson's Summer Camp for Boys, at Chesham, N. H., is to be in Win- netka over this week-end. He is to be with his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Heller, and anyone desiring to talk with him may make an appointment by telephoning Mrs. Heller at 502-W. Mrs. Porter announced the follow- ing Nominating committee, who will present the ticket which they are pre- paring at the annual meeting on April 21: Mrs. Lieber, Mrs. English, Mrs. de Windt, Mrs. Montgomery, and Mrs. Allan Wolff. The attention of all club members is called to ar- ticle 7, section 1, of the by-laws, which reads "Before the Annual meeting, the Board of Managers shall appoint a Nominating committee of five members, who shall prepare a ticket with nominations for officers and members of the Board of Manag- ers for the ensuing year. This each member of the club at least three weeks before the annual meet- ing. Other nominations for any of- fice, or for an entire ticket, may be made by petition signed by any fif- teen members of the club, and sent to the Chairman of the Nominating committee before the annual meeting. All such nominations shall be present- ed by the Nominating committee at the annual meeting of the club." Section 2, last paragraph of ar- ticle 7, reads in part: "Nominations from the floor are in order at this (annual) meeting, provided the con- sent of the candidates has been ob- tained." 2 Mrs. Lieber, as a member of the Nominating committee, announced that the committee would be very glad to receive and consider sugges- tions for the ticket from club mem- bers. Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Lieber re- ported briefly on the various bills dis- cussed at the lost Legislative Forum. It is a matter of great regret that the Shepherd-Townsend and Smith- Towner bills did not pass this last Congress, and everyone is urged to work harder than ever to promote their passage by the 67th Congress. Some of the bills now before the State Legislature which were presented were the Visual Education Bill, Lib- rary Bill, various child welfare and mathers' peusion bills, a bill provid- ing for the rehabilitation of military and civil handicapped, the Housing and Zoning bill, and that very im- portant measure, the Constabulary bill Mrs, Durham, of the Education committee, presented the speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Perry Dunlap Smith, Headmaster of the North Shore Country Day school. His sub- ject, "The Value of Educational Ex- periments to a Democratic Commun- ity," was most clearly and forcibly presented, and he went on to explain various new methods in 'educating which follow the principle of "teach- ing children, not subjects." He ex- plained that the real democracy of a school lies not in its method of main- tenance, or its class of pupils, but in the ideals which it teaches, and the debt of service which its pupils feel toward the community. After the program tea was served .by the following hostesses: Mrs. Charles E. Pynchon, Mrs. Thomas A. Ratcliffe, Mrs. Charles F. Simpson, and Mrs. Richard W. Walsh. The next regular meeting of the club will be held on Thursday, March 24, at 2:30 o'clock. The program is in charge of the Music committee. Mrs. Etwood has arranged a most delight- ful and worthwhile musicale. SHINGLE DEMONSTRATION An exhibition was held Tuesday afternoon at the yards of the Hub- bard Woods Lumber and Coal com- pany demonstrating to local contrac- tors the economical shingling of roofs with asbestos shingles without going to the trouble and expense of remov- ing the old shingles. The fire proof qualities of the shingles were endorsed by Winnetka's fire chief, G. M. Houren. gi ticket shall be printed and mailed to} 'Dr. Samuel N. Waison Lent Service Preacher Thursday Evening, March 17 Marks Last of Lenten Sermons; "Waste" Is The Subject The last of the special Lenten Preaching services will be held in Christ church, Sheridan road and Humboldt avenue, Thursday evening, March 17, at 8 o'clock. The preacher will be the Rev. Samuel N. Watson, rector of St. Elisabeth's church, Glencoe. His « subject = will -- be "Waste." Through the lectures on "France" which he has given in the Communi- ty House, Dr. Watson is well known to Winnetkans. For several years he was rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Paris, and while occu- pying that position during the war he rendered service of the greatest val- ue to the French people. In recog- nition of these services he was awarded membership in the Legion of Honor. The Lenten Preaching services have proved eminently successful, and have been attended by increas- ingly large congregations. It is ex- pected that a large number of Dr. Watson's Winnetka friends, as well as many others, will take advantage of this opportunity of again hearing him speak. LAST FRIDAY ADDRESS Next Friday night the Rev. James Austin Richards will conclude the series of Lenten addresses with a talk upon the topic "How the Cross of Christ Makes a Difference."
