" 2 . a i ¥ : 4 . - WINNETKA WEEKLY T The Timely Record of Community Events ¥OL.XI1.. XO. 13 ETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1922 SIXTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS YOUTHFUL CAPER PREPARE TO SAL Community House Summer Campers Ready For Get- a-Way Late This Month BOYS LEAVE JUNE 26 Girls to Embark For Camp on July 17 "What is so rare as a day in Camp! Then, if ever, come perfect days® So runs the old legend (with changes) in the minds of Winnetka boys and girls who are going to Indian Hill camp this summer. They are counting the days now, for camp with "Chief" (Mr. J. W. F. Davies) as they love to call him, means joy and fun and worth-while things. There are hikes through the beautiful northern woods, canoe trips on Lake Hamlin, visits to the Lake Michigan sand-dunes and other points of inter- est, practice in camp crafts, swimm- ing in Lake Hamlin, with tests of skill and prowess in water sports, work, for the fun of working together, and best of all the close companionship around the camp fire each evening. Permanent Smile and Tan Would you like to see your boy or girl wear a smile and a coat of tan that won't come off? Would you like to see them develop a husky look and a healthy appetite, and a joy in the doing of things? Camp means all this to them, 'and mucli wu.0%e, as many Winnetka boys and girls can .estify Indian Hill camp is located on Lake Hamlin, near Ludington, Mich- igan. It is under the direction of J. W. F.- Davies, assisted by competent councillors and is sponsored by Com- 'munity House. A ca p for boys is maintained for ei is followed by one for girl same length of time, The boy for camp on the steamer "Puritan" Monday, June 26, and reach Chicago, on the return trip, Saturday morn- ing, July 15. The girls leave on the steamer "Puritan" Monday, July 17, and arrive in Chicago, Saturday morn- ing, August 5. Limit Camp Number. The camps are limited in number to thirty each-which has the advan- tage of enabling the campers to work and play together as one family, to do valuable team work, and to main- tain a unity of camp spirit. The equip- ment of camp is simple but thorough- ly comfortable and sanitary. The children sleep on cots, in tents with wooden floors. The food is the best, with plenty of fresh fruit and vege- tables, milk and country butter. Miss Hilda Salveson and Miss Anna Emer- son have been engaged as cooks. A new Evinrude boat has been purchas- ed and will be used as a camp errand boat. There are a few places available in each camp, and it is advisable, ac- cording to Community House author- ities that those who are thinking of sending their boys and girls should register them as soon as possible, be- fore the lists are full. The office of Community House is prepared to fur- nish additional information. Several Groups Continue Activities During Summer While almost all of the regular ac- tivities of Community House have end- ed for the season, there are several groups that will continue their sum- mer meetings--at least for a while longer. Among these are the Scandinavian Pleasure club, the North Shore British American society, the North Shore Horticultural society, which will hold its usual exhibition of flowers and vegetables later in the summer, in ad- dition to its monthly meetings, the Triangle club, the O. R. T. club, the Modern Woodmen and Royal Neigh- bors. Motion pictures will continue to be shown through June, but there will be none during July and August. FINED ON ASSAULT CHARGE John Connor, 887 Ash street, wa fined $10 and costs on a charge of as sault and battery preferred by Wil liam Merrill, 985 Sheridan road. The trouble arose over an argument dur ing which Connor is alleged to hav ing machine and ironer or the perco- lator failed to cperate in customary smooth fashion, blame the village elec- tric service department. The reason for a possible laxity of service in that department at the vil- lage hall, lies in the fact that the en- tire department performed rather dubiously on that day, because of the additional fact that Arthur "Art" Schultz, an energetic member of the amalgamated "juice coaxers," was missing from his accustomed bench, having other matters of considerable importance to think about. Of first import among these was a wedding at Evanston in which he was one of the principals, the other party to the arrangements being one Miss Jean McMahon. The boys simply could not labor with any degree of efficiency while contemplating thc predicament of the blushing bridegroom. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schultz will re- turn to Winnetka soon in the wake of a honeymooon, somewhere, LYNCH TELLS HOW TO BATTLE THE LOCUST Seventeen-Year Cicada In- fests Winnetka Trees Complaints from several Winnetka property owners deploring the preva- jermoe in the trees of the seventeen year Locust or ('icada, has prompted Village Forester Thomas Lynch to offer some sound advice to locai tree owners. "These insects," Mr. Lynch says, "do not damage crops. Their only damage is due to the 'egg punctures |made by the insects in branches of trees and shrubs. } "Where adults are numerous they often cause many of the branches to die leaving the trees in an unsightly condition but very seldom cause seri- ous injury except on fruit trees. "Fruit trees may be protected by covering the crown of the trees with a netting and wrapping the trunks with burlap or straw. "A very good preventative, which may be used during a season when in- sects are numerous, is Tree Tangle- foot, which can be put on the trunks with a paddle. This preparation will keep away ants, caterpillars and any other insect which crawls up from the ground. No Spray Adequate. "There is no spraying material which will kill Locusts on the large trees, but when they infest the shrubs they may be sprayed with a 10 per cent kerosene solution, however, this is likely to injure the foliage and must be applied te the bodies of the insect. "Many fruit trees and shrubs are infested with Lice and the Oaks are becoming infested with a chewing in- sect which is doing quite some dam- age to the foliage. "The lice, being a sucking insect, may be controlled by spraying with a nicotine solution and for the chewing insects on the oaks arsenate of lead should be used. "I shall be glad at any time to give any information available if called by phone at Winnetka 1294. Motor Law Violators Find Local Police on the Job Careless automobile drivers contin ued to keep the police busy this week. Ten guilty motorists paid fines for violations of the motor vehicle or- dinances. J. E. Pilco came all the way from Valparaiso, Florida, before he was haled ito police court. He tried to hurry through Winnetka and fell into the hands of Chief Peterson and was later fined $5 and costs. Others assessed were: Miss RE. Donnelly, Lake Forest, speeding, $10 and costs; Ford Stoddard, Wilmette, no license, $10 and costs; Curtis Bird, Wilmette, no lights, $3 and costs Warning is given by the village authorities that all drivers who neg- lect to park their cars with the right side to the curb, or who neglect to show lights on a parked car after dark, will be summarily prosecuted.

Police Chief Nabs Escaped Army Man; Discovers Arsenal Chief of Police Peterson captured a perambulating arsenal Wednesday morning on Elm street. George Mul- lins, escaped prisoner from Fort Sheri- dan and a private in the 54th In- fantry, surrendered to the chief when the latter "covered" him with a re- volver. According to information from Fort Sheridan, Mullins had recently been sentenced to ILeavenworth for two years for stealing government prop- erty and was being held until he could be sent to the prison. He es- caped from confinement by assaulting a guard. He then went to Lake For- est where he held up a motorist and appropriated the driver's clothes and car. A telephone call from the command- ing officer at the fort was received at Winnetka asking that the man be ar- rested. Chief Peterson went out alone and quickly located the man whom he took into custody. When searched at the police station, it was found that the prisoner carried two revolvers and thirty-eight rounds of ammunition in his pockets. Mullins was delivered to the officer of the day at Fort Sheridan later in the day. COMMENCEMENT HERE NEXT THRaOAY Rev.

Steeple Jack Injured in John Riezinger, a professional steeple-jack from Chicago, was pain- fully injured when he fell fifty feet from the flag pole on the Village Com- mons Wednesday morning. Riezinger was painting the pole when one of the cross arms on which he was standing broke. The lattice work at the foot of the staff was all that saved the fall- ing man from death. He was taken to the Evanston hos- pital where it was said that the in- juries would not be fatal. Several scalp wounds and five broken ribs will confine him to the hospital for some time. uioral church, is to give the Com' Fall From Flag Pole Here | JANE DAR; NEXT THEATRE CUD PL One Hundred People to Take Part in Elaborate Production June 29 SHOWS AT EVANSTON Mrs. Dudley Cates to As- sume Title Role Delayed because of plans for an elaborate productioii, the fourth and last of the season's plays offered by the North Shore Theatre Guild, is an- nounced this week for Thursday eve- ning, June 29, when Percy Mackaye's celebrated production, "Jeanne d'Are," Is to be given at the Patten gymnasi- um, Evanston, under the auspices of the Drama League of Chicago. The North Shore Theatre Guild, at the beginning of its season last fall, announced four productions. Three of these have been given with splendid success, including Edna Ferber's "1200 A Year", Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" and St. John Ervine's "mixed Marri- age." The Guild is a trifle late on its schedule, it is explained, because of the essential elaborate preparations for the season's final venture. "Jeanne d'Arc", as is well known, is the story of the Maid of Orleans. The forthcoming production is in five acts and six scenes. The production is characterized as intensely dramatic and a lovely pageant of so popular a subject that it is certain to have a wide appeal. Approximately 100 people will take part in the play, and special scenery, costumes and music will insure a pro- duction that will be quite out of the ordinary. Mrs. Cates as "Jeanne" Prominent in the cast will bas, . ates, of Winnetka, who will me." Mrs. Cates is recogniz- a finished actress and has done considerable professional work. She has understudied and played for Edith Wynne Mathison in "Every- man", and has appeared prominently in several of the Greek tragedies, both in Chicago and in San Francisco. Others who will assume important roles are Mrs. Mark Walton, Miss Vir- ginia FitzHugh, Miss Affleck, Messrs. Perry Dunlap Smith, Percy B. Erkhart, J. Williams Macy, William Nourse, Samuel Tionel Robertson, and John Thorn. Mr. Thorn is a professional, having last played in Chicago in "Miss Lulu Bett". He is studying music here this summer and has graciously do- nated his services to the guild. Members of the North Shore Thea- tre Guild are, in accordance with custom, to receive two tickets each for the production of "Jeanne." Sales of tickets to other residents of the north shore will be provided through the various drug stores and the hotels in Evanston. Sponsors Educational Work Proceeds from the production are to be divided equally between the Drama League of Chicago and the North Shore Theatre Guild. The Drama League conducts educational work through the summer months in the parks and at the Chicago Municipal Pier, and it is for this work that organ- ization hopes to raise some money. Money directed into the coffers of the Guild will be utilized to defray expen- ses of the "Jeanne" production and to continue the work of the Guild in the next season. A large sale of tickets is pated. The Bungalow Now Awaits the Happy Honeymooners Clarence W. Happ, youthful and popular business man, affiliated with the Winnetka Coal and Lumber com- pany, watched so many villagers carry away supplies of lumber and other building material, that he just couldn't refrain from making a like purchase and attending to the con- struction of a cozy bungalow. The incentive was Miss Marion Crosley, of Webster City, Iowa, who Wednesday, became Mrs. Clarence W. Happ, and who following a honeymoon trip through the east, will assume charge of the bungalow, for some time awaiting the bride and groom. Clarence kept most people in a haze as to the exact date of the wedding. The Winnetka Talk received the au- thentic information Thursday morn- ing when Mr. Happ called by phone from a Chicago railway station and formally introduced Mrs. Clarence W. antici- Happ. ALK 2s
