WINNETKA W EEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 WHAT WOMEN CAN DD IN COUNTY AFFAIRS "Clean Them Up Like a House" Says Mrs. Lieber I asked Mrs. Lieber what a woman could do, as a woman, on the County Board: "What can a mother do in her home? Is the father of the family a good housekeeper? Cook County isn't a tract of land. It's an immense group of human beings, men, women and children. It's a great big family. And it needs mothering. "We've often heard of the. city "fathers." It's time that we should hear of a few mothers. Look at the sick people in Cook County. Couldn't a mother on the Board do something for them that a father couldn't, or wouldn't, do?" Mrs. Lieber is the mother of two children, one teaching in California, the other now in high school. She herself was a teacher up to the time of her marriage. In fact, she is still engaged in that work, having already taught 14 years in the Sunday School. She has had a great. deal of exper- ience with teachers and with school administration as secretary of the Winnetka School Board. Then too she gained valuable knowl- edge in her years as president of the Winnetka Woman's Club. In fact she is so well versed in the theory and practice of parliamentary law, public speaking, and civics that she conducts classes in those subjects. Her pupils can be found in towns all the way from Chicago to Waukegan. "I believe thoroughly," she said, "in the application of civil service to all county offices. I can see no other way of getting rid of patronage. "Taxes? I don't know how they can be reduced, but I do believe it possible to get a dollar's worth of material or labor for every dollar ex- pended. A good housekeeper and mother has to do that, every day of her life. "The road-houses? Vile! ! We have laws protecting animals. I'm going to fight tooth and nail for the protec- tion of our girls. I shall also stand firmly for law enforcement. The best law is foolish if not enforced. "Of course I'm enthusiastic about our beautiful Skokie Valley. It ought all to be in the Forest Preserve. "I'm sure that the people on the North Shore, as well as everywhere else in Cook County, believe that there's a place on the County Board . that can be filled only by a woman. "Last of all I want to urge every woman voter in Cook County to vote at the primaries on April 11. I'm sure that of the two election days April 11 is more important. Something in This. If a man has the raw material for being a blamed fool, he cannot blame the fakir for taking advantage of opportunities.--Exchange.

Chindblom, who represents the Tenth Congres- sional district (including New Trier,) in the National House of Representa- tives is a candidate for renomination to that office at the April 11 Republi- can Primaries. Congressman Chindblom started his campaign only a week ago, having remained in Washington until that time to attend to important legisia- tive matters. He has established an enviable record in the House and is extremely popular with his constitu- ency. He is a tireless worker and has done much for the north shore in his first term at Washington.
