WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 13 NEWS of the NORTH SHORE CLUBS Name Mrs. Hines Auxiliary Head For St. Francis RS. EDWARD HINES of Evanston has consented to act as president of the newly formed women's auxiliary of St. Francis Hospital and Mrs. Harry B. Burd as vice president, it was announced this week. The following officers have been elected: Mrs. Edward Hines, general chairman; Mrs. Paul Hullhorst, vice- chairman, Rogers Park; Mrs. Harry B. Hurd, vice-chairman, Evanston; Mrs. I. H. Chilcott, vice-chairman, Kenilworth; Mrs. Albert H. Roler, re- cording secretary, Evanston; Mrs. Ralph Konle, corresponding secre- tary, Rogers Park; Mrs. B. E. Fillis, treasurer, Winnetka. Organization: Mrs. George W. Boot, Evanston. Pub- licity: Mrs. Edson B. Fowler, Evans- ton. This organization has been formed by a number of women prominent in philanthropic and civic work in re- sponse to an urgent appeal from the doctors of the staff and the sisters who conduct the hospital. It will aid in the handling of the proposed drive for funds for a new wing to the hos- pital. r The first objective of the Women's Auxiliary which will be outlined to- night will be the presentation to the women of the community of the cry- ing need for more hospital room. "Jt would be a splendid thing for Evanston and the North Shore," said Mrs. Hines, "if this new wing were named 'Maternity Wing', and dedicat- ed to mothers. Serving as it does, people of all creeds and races, it 18 entirely fitting that an appeal should be made to everybody to protect those who are about to become mothers. «It is startling and pathetic to think that we have not sufficient maternity hospital room on the North Shore-- that we do not begin to supply our needs in this direction. "Especially is this true of the so- called 'charity' cases. There are many worthy people in our region who can pay nothing or perhaps only a part of the sum necessary to safeguard their lives, and the lives of their little ones, with proper obstetrical and medical care, "I find on investigation that St. Francis Hospital is especially gener- ous in its charity work. On an aver- age of 50 per cent of the cases are wholly or in part charity cases. And I find further, that no distinction is made in the wards, between the treatment of 'pay' cases and of char- ity cases. The people whose means will not permit hospital care are not made to feel that they are beggars, or unworthy recipients of an unde- served attention." ge Mr. James Weber Linn of the En- glish Department of the University of Chicago will give three lectures on "Modern American Fiction" on the evenings of March 16, 22 and 27, at the Winnetka Woman's club, corner of Oak and Maple streets, Winnetka. The hour will be 8 p. m.

Observe Annual Mothers' Day on Sunday, May 14 The meeting of the National Fra- ternal Cougress was held last week in the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, and a resolution was passed that all fra- ternal organizations observe Mother's Day, and hold special Mother's Day programs on Sunday, May 14, of this vear. It was decided that Mother's Day be the second Sunday in May. The same customs will be followed this year and in the future to the ef- fect that those whose mother still lives shall wear a bright flower in her honor, and those whose mother is dead, shall wear a white flower in her memory. Two to One For Soldier's Compensation--Referendum Adjusted compensation won a de- cided victory in the nation-wide refer- endum conducted by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce--4,116 chambers voting favorable, 2,657 voting against the measure, "From the U. S. Chamber's point of view," said John Thomas Taylor, vice- chairman of the American Legion's legislative committee, "the referendum was a flat failure, for that body rep- resents the most highly organized op- position to the bonus. By trying to separate the cash features from the more productive provisions of the bill, and by other means, it has done every- thing in its power to influence its con- stituent members against the bill. In spite of this fact, the vote shows al- most 2 to 1 favorable. "The Legion despises unfair dis- crimination--cash and the other fea- tures cannot be separated as the U. S. Chamber separated them in its referendum." A NOTE OF PROGRESS Appreciating fully that Spring is close at hand the Renneckar Drug company this week institutes some important alternations designed to facilitate business and add to the gen- eral appearance of the store.
