Dowd Suggests Intersuburb Conventions For Mutual Aid OUTLINES POSSIBILITIES Shows How Intercourse Would Benefit All Quincy L. Dowd--better known to Winnetkans as the Rev. Quincy L. Dowd, former minister of the Win- netka Congregational church--is a booster for Chicago's "surburbia," a term that applies to Chicago's subur- ban towns, collectively. In a recent article appearing on the editorial page of The Chicago Daily News, Mr. Dowd emphasizes the need of and benefits to be secured from a "comparison of notes" as between suburbs, suggesting frequent "conven- tions of town leaders for the purpose of exchanging views on improvement projects and stimulating friendly rivalry in municipal and community enterprises that would redound to the good of the towns, individually and as represented in a great suburban community of nearly 500,000 popula- tion. "Within thirty-five miles of the city hall lies a semicircle of eighty-three towns and villages which compose Chi- writes Mr. Dowd. "Their population varies from 40,000 to 400 souls. These partly urban, partly rural folk number about 477,000 in all. i Selfish Attitude "As things stand each village and its group interests are distinct. They might almost as well exist in separate stares or be an ocean apart. What Glencoe thinks and does is unknown to Elmhurst; yes, even Wilmette has not much more ded#ling with Winnetka than Samaritans and Jews of contig- uous territory once had. "This unneighborliness seems hardly fitting. Nowadays conferences and co-operation by units of adjacent popu- lation mean the exchange of ideals and programs by which all can im- prove and profit."" " "Should not these eighty-three sub- gr urbs through their mayors and coun- cilmen arrange a conference for per- manent organization," he asks, "whose object might be to confer annually or oftener over their local civic prob- lems, public works and community 'planning? In the aggregate a half- million people of the suburbs are directly concerned in mutual matters where team play is essential. Besides, this definite and frequent intercourse would open up generous acquaintance and stimulate friendly rivalries made manifest by community fairs and holi- day celebrations." Lauds Preserve Project "Now that the Cook county forest preserve is so far worked out and has so magnificent a policy of varied im- provements to make it the greatest among world cities; now that 4,000,- 000 annually seek these sylvan re- treats, is it fair to ourselves that crowds of visitors perforce look upon so much artificial, staring unloveliness of today's surburban centers? Rather, let us say that at once men and women of light and influence should educate these scores of surrounding communi- ties to their own important parts in the great play of social beauty and at- Arthur L.

"By almost any scheme of friendly counsel each village could not lose or confuse its own individuality, but would arrive at intelligent, intense consciousness of its very self, its own peculiar make-up, its communal de- velopment along lines natural and true to its locality and citizenry." FINE SUBDIVISION WILL REPLACE GOLF COURSE NEXT YEAR What real estate men generally con- sider will become one of the north shore's finest subdivisions, is to be opened soon by Arthur Dunas and company, of Chicago, at what is now the site of the Evanston Community Golf course, lying along the Drainage channel and extending from the Ev- anston hospital to Isabella street or the Wilmette south limits. The proposed subdivision comprises twenty acres formerly owned by the Evanston Golf club. - Isabella street will be cut through from Asbury avenue to Sheridan road. There will be lot frontages on Girard, Garrison, and Isabella streets, as well as Sheridan and Ridge. There will be no flats, only one family residences be- ing allowed. Nothing may be built to cost less than $12,000 on the Ridge and Sheridan lots, and $8,000 on inside lots Lots will sell for $2,000 and upwards. All sales, however, will be subject to the community golf course lease, which runs until March, 1923, or four- teen months from date, according to Dunas & Co. "Prince There Was" Community House Film Thomas Meighan, Paramount star, is supported by Mildred Harris, former Lois Weber star, in his new starring vehicle "A Prince There Was," which comes to the Winnetka Community House next Friday, January 27. Mr. Meighan puts over some strong emotional acting in this screen adap- tation of the famous George M. Cohan stage success, and Mildred Harris is a most capable leading woman. Mr. Meighan plays a rich, young idler and Miss Harris a young writer, who formerly lived in luxury, but with her father's ruin and suicide is forced to write for a meagre living, with poor success. Little Charlotte Jackson, in the role of the little boarding house drudge, goes to the rich man and asks him to "intercede" for the girl, which the rich man does, pretending he is an assistant magazine editor and taking up quarters at the boarding house, where he soon falls in love with the girl. But a broker, also in love with the girl, makes it appear that the prince | was the man who caused her father's financial ruin and also exposes the fact that he had to buy the magazine to get her stories printed. This causes an enstrangement, which, however is Ei ---- Eq ---- OR The Poor Commuter! Why is it the suburban resident is called The Poor Commuter? Watch him when he gets off the evening train especially on Sat- urday and you'll find a reason. He is usual- ly loaded down with packages--things he bought in the city because he thought he would find a better stock or save a little money. The Winnetkans who trade regularly at our store know how much more convenient and satisfactory it is to buy all their hard- ware, paints, kitchen utensils, etc. right here at home. It doesn't cost them any more either. In many cases they really save money. No order is too small to receive our most prompt and courteous attention.
