The Sunday Morning Men's Class convenes at 9:30 o'clock at Com- munity House. While the class is con- ducted as a department of the 'Win- netka Congregational church, its ap- peal is to every man in the village who is interested in the discussion of modern problems in their relation to the teachings of Christianity. The class, started less than a year ago, has enjoyed a phenomenal de- | velopment both in regard to the num- bers of its members and in the gen- eral interest it has awakened in the village. It is now by far the largest Men's class on the north shore and each Sunday morning calls to the village some speaker of outstanding leadership who is an authority on modern day problems. Arrange Excellent Programs Organization for the approaching season has been completed and there is assurance of excellent programs for each Sunday morning of the year. The subject for the first quarter of the year is to be the life of Christ, and this Sunday's talk, along with next Sunday's discourse by Fred Merrifield, also of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, will be more or less introductory so as to estab- | : i lish the proper foundation for taking | W.

FINGER PRINTS NAD YOUTHFUL BURGLAR Chief Peterson Employs Ex- pert Tactics in Arrest of Alleged Robbers HELD FOR CAR THEFT Fifteen-year-old Boy Taken into Custody Conrad A. Wold, 15-year-old alleged burglar, is being held at the Deten- tion home in Chicago at the instance of Chief W. M. Peterson of Winnetka, in connection with the recent burglary of the Thomas N. Wheatley home at' 326 Fairview avenue. Wold, whose home is in Evanston, was taken into custody under ex- tremely interesting circumstances in which the finger print system, so fre- quently practiced by Chief Peterson with unusual success, disclosed the damaging evidence. Peculiarly enough, Wold was gracing a cell at the Evans- ton station house on another charge, when Chief Peterson appeared to ex- amine the Evanston finger print cata- log. : Seek Other Youth Wold, it is said, has been assisted in his alleged burglarizing career by another Evanston youth named Glen Kenley, 19 years of age, and whom the police are now seeking. The story of Wold"s arrest begins with the date of the Wheatley bur- glary. The contract for paving Scott, As- pury, Prairie, Greenwood and North | avenue in Hubbard Woods was awarded to the Verhey Construction company of Champaign, Illinois. The amount of the contract was given as $67,259.84, as against $76,643.64, the figure sub- mitted by Foley and company of Evanston. Work on the improvement projects is to be started immediately, although village officials doubt whether the work can be completed before cold weather sets in since contractors gen- erally are having difficulty in securing prompt shipments of materials. Verhey and company has done much work on state roads, it is said, and is one of the most reliable firms in Illi- nois, having established an excellent reputation in the road construction was found impossible to secure bid- ders. The Hubbard Woods paving proj- ects were delayed previously when it field. Hollister Is Delegate to Lloyd F.

Nomination of officers for the cur- rent year will provide the principal business of the post meeting, Tues- day, September 26. Grinnell Wylie reported to the post that Community House directors had planned spacious and attractive legion quarters in the proposed Com- munity House addition to be con- structed soon. W. C. T. U. Members Plan Fight on "Wines--Beer"' The Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union held its annual meeting Tuesday of this week at the home of Mrs. L. C. Norton, 370 Walnut street, Winnetka. Annual reports were given showing that thirteen new members had been received during the past year. The State Legion Convention gion to the state convention of the Island, Monday and Tuesday, September 25 and 26. Tom The local legion post held its first On Sunday, August 20, Chief Peter- son and patrolman Iverson were sum- moned to the Wheatley home when the owner, who had been away golf- ing during the day returned home at 5 o'clock to find a front window Investigation of the premises led Chief Peterson to the window in ques- tion. Here he immediately applied his finger print preparation to sev- eral pieces of glass with the result that, when photographed, the nega- tives disclosed some distinct impres- sions. : Peterson's next step was to consult the catalog at Evanston headquarters. Almost the first prints he examined coincided with those taken at the Wheatley home. "Here's my man," Peterson shouted to Chief Leggett, of Evanston, who was assisting in the search. "Yes, and 'he's downstairs, too," Leggett replied. "What do ycu mean?' Peterson queried. "Just that," came back Leggett. "We've got him for driving a car that didn't belong to him, a Rogers Park machine." Held for Car Theft The man--who is only a boy--was Wold. He was arrested on Septem- ber 2, when stopped by Evanston police while driving a car that bore questionable license plates. Wold and Kenley, the police be- lieve, have been responsible for sev- eral burglaries on the north shore. Their specialty has been women's fine apparel and jewelry. They operated with a car, it is said, one playing chauffeur and "look-out" while the other "pulled the jobs." A blond woman is thought to have assisted them in several instances. Wold's case will be heard in Judge Arnold's Juvenile court in the near future. He has appeared before the court upon three previous occasions, police declare.
