WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK The Timely Record of Community Events VOL. XI, No. 20 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 FOURTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS NORTH SHORE J WAR AGANST WAR Saturday, July 29, Date En- tire Nation Registers Plea for Peace OPINIONS REQUESTED Many Nations Join in Dem- onstrations By MRS. W. G. HIBBARD (Regional Director, National League of Women Voters, President Winnetka Branch) Why did the National Council for the Reduction of Armaments choose July 29 as the day for a world-wide demonstration for "No More War?" Because it was thought that the force of world opinion would be particular- ly aroused by the remembrance of that day in 1914 of which this is the anni- versary. The north shore, the country, from coast to coast, will be extensively placarded this Saturday with posters of varied description, all calling upon the people to join the "War Against War." There will be posters every- where, sermons in churches and let- ter and telegrams to Washington, all for the purpose of convincing our gov- ernment that there is still public opin- ion in favor of keeping the peace. international Demonstration The United States is not alone in commemorating this anniversary. Similar parades and demonstrations of opinion are to take place in Great Britain, France, Germany Holland, Austria, Sweden, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and Japan. There are many Americans who be- lieve now that the Genoa and Hague conferences are obvious failures and that our position in staying out nf them is well justified. There is much talk now of an approaching economic conference which will really get at the root of the evil and at which the various countries will make some simple and necessary concessions. There are many who think that Presi- dent Harding ought to call this con. ference and they are writing to tell him so on this day. Every citizen 18 entirely free to do so, and all those who realize that Europe is still an armed camp will do so. mete.

CATHOLI MISSI CR EXHAIS HEE Famous Traveling Church Is at "L" Terminal The Chapel Car "St. Paul," operated by the Catholic Church Extension society, recently pulled into Chicago for renovation after four years of hard work in the mission fields of Texas and Louisiana. Fresh from the Pullman yards, it took the "L" to Wilmette (by the courtesy of officials of the line), and now stands at the northern terminal of the "L" to re- ceive the homage of the Catholics of Chicago on its return from the Church's battle-front. Many Visitors Greeted re The "St. Paul" took up its stand early on Sunday morning, and during the day it was visited by hundreds of Catholics along the north shore. It was the object of considerable won- derment to crowds of excursionists who found the gigantic steel car on the siding at Wilmette. Chaplains are constantly with the car, explaining its arrangements to visitors. The car is a combined church and rectory. Seating and kneeling accommodation is provided for 54 peo- ple; it has a permanent alter, a con- fessional, a library of Catholic works of reference, a kitchen, and quarters} for the missionaries and attendants. Mass was said in the Car on Tues- day and Thursday mornings of this week, and there will be Mass on Tues- day and Thursday next week at 7:45 o'clock. On Exhibition Tour The exhibition of the Car at Wil- mette, where it will stand for about two weeks, is the prelude to an ex- hibition tour of the Eastern states. The Catholic Extension society has three Chapel cars. The first, the "St. Anthony," was the gift of Mr. Ambrose Petry. It is a wooden car, and no longer suited to long distance jour- neys. It is working out in Washing- ton, and will probably end its days in the west, thousands of miles from home. at Local Bathing Beach Forty mothers and children of the Chicago Commons social settlement were delighted guests of Winnetka women Monday of this week when the members of the Lincoln avenue and East Elm street circles of the Win- netka Congregational church enter- tained in a day's frolic at the Win- netka Municipal Pathing beach. On Tuesday another group from the Commons were the guests of the Com- munity House executive staff. Women of the village brought the visitors from Chicago by motor.

LTG36-1tec SUGGEST REGISTRATION FOR PLAYFIELD PLAYERS Confusion appears to reign at the Winnetka Playfield Golf course on Sunday and holiday mornings. Several members of the Playfield association are deploring the unfortu- nate circumstance wherein they are frequently deprived of the use of the links because non-members "got there first" by means of arriving at the course before daylight. "Here is the remedy," these mem- bers suggest. "Devise a system where- by it would be possible for a member of the association to register a day or two in advance for the privilege of securing an opportunity to "tee off" for Sunday morning golf. The matter is brought to the atten- tion of Playfield officials in these columns in deference to numerous complaints in this regard received at the "Talk" offices in the past few weeks.

Merchants Take Another Game From Mail Toters The post office team again went down to defeat before the business men's team with the score 10 to 6, Wednesday evening, July 26. The game was a seesaw affair from start to finish, first one side being ahead, then the other. Bailey, the business men's pitcher, was steadier than Dehmlow. The latter pitched good ball with the exception of a couple of innings, when he was rounded hard.

The theater will probably be built by a stock company which is being formed for the purpose. a
