"Through every great life there runs one thread that links part to part and holds the meaning of it all," reads an announcement. =~ "These Lenten Sun- day evening addresses will humbly seek that thread in the life of Jesus. Step by step we shall find His life dif- ferent from ours, yet lying so close to ours that it gives the light and guid- ance we most need." Tuesday Mornings Hour lecture and Discussion class on "Christian Fundamentals." Prof. Bosworth's volume, "What It Means To Be a Christian," will be used as a 'text book.

Kinney Dies at Green Bay, Wis. Mrs. Estelle Morse Kinney, of 968 Fig street, passed away Monday, Feb- ruary 12, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William IL. Kerr, of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Mrs. Kinney was the widow of Sylvester Kinney, of Houghton, Michigan, one of the pioneers in the de- velopment of the lumbering industry of northern Michigan. Three daughters and six sons survive her, two of the !at- ter, Avery W. and Charles A. being res- idents of Winnetka. Mrs. Kinney moved to Winnetka about a year ago, coming from Austin wh.re she was prominently identified with a number of Chicago and Oak Park wo- men's organizations. She was a mem- ber of the Keystone club, the Chicago Culture club, the Chicago Art institute and the West-side Co-educational club, serving as president of the latter org-n- ization from 1918 to 1920. Much of her time during the past two years she has spent in travel, with the intention of again resuming active participation in club work. 48g} Services for members of the family Films Wild Life : Donald R. Dickey Appears In Lecture At Com- munity House WANT SUBWAY AT CROSSING Indian Hill Residents Make Request To The regular meeting of the Indian Hill Improvement association was held at the New Trier High school Tuesday, February 13, with a record attendance. A report was made on the results of the recent minstrel which proved to be highly successful both from an en- tertainment and financial standpoint. President Kane expressed his sincere thanks on behalf of the executive comi- mittee for the co-operation on the part of all those who gave up their time to make this entertainment a success. Work On Park Soon The Park Committee reported that work would soon start on the landscape work for the new park at the Indian Hill Station. Steps were taken to provide orname st- al drinking fountains at this park and also at the Elder Lane beach where no facilities of this kind are now nrovided. The association voted to take up with the Village council and other necessary bodies the proposition of a subway at Winnetka avenue in order to eliminate this rather dangerous crossing. This, it is felt, will probably work in nicely with the track depression scheme furthar north which it is proable will be started in the near future. Several other minor matter were dis- cussed and afterwards there was danc- ing and refreshments. Red Cloth and Mr. Bull Don't Mix, Says Actor As Rhubarb Vaselino, a matador, in "Mud and Sand," at the Community House, Friday, February 23, Stan Laurel naturally was required to wage near-mortal battle with what was ad- vertised to him as being an unusually docile bull. "That was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life," declared Mr. Laurel with real feeling. "Of course, the bull was supposed to be tied hard and fast by the leg to a big stake. The rope did not come within range of the camera. "But the scene had no sooner start- ed than the fun began and the only fortunate part of the affair was that the scene was made in a sort of a cor- ral. If it hadn't been arranged that way there might have been no more Stan Laurel comedies. "I wasn't really rude to that bull. I just waved the red cape before him gently, because I had a hunch it wouldn't pay to excite hun too much. But he got just one glimpse of that red cloth out of the corner of his eye and he put down his head and started toward me. I dont think it took me more than two steps to reach the fence twenty yards away and I just flew over. "MY NEXT BULL must know ge- ography. He's got to be sure he's in Hollywood and not in Seville. Police To Check On Lax Vehicle License Payers Winnetka residents must have their 1923 auto licenses or be prepared to pay the penalty prescribed by the law. Not- ifiication from the secretary of state's PRESENT EUROPE TALK SUBJECT Prof. George Scherger To Give Final Lecture of Sinai Congregation Series STUDENT OF EUROPE Mrs. Hale Lauds the Amer- ican Girl Prof. George Scherger, head of the department of History at Armour In- stitute, will lecture at the Winnetka Woman's club Tuesday evening, Febru- ary 20, on the subject, "Our Country and the Changing World--America and the Nations." This lecture, represents the last of a series given under auspicas of the North Shore Branch Sinai Con- gregation. Prof. Scherger spent the past summer studying conditions in Europe. As a scholar he is familiar with European methods of diplomacy and diplomats. Throughly versed cs he is in the history and culture of Hurope and world civili- zation, he can understand and interpret faithfully the influences and thought cur- rents that domirate post-war Europe. Prof. Scherger nas a delightful person- ality and is a versatile and fluent lect- urer who has a vital message at this time when the world is in a fluid state of change, and when our civilization, as part of the world civilization, faces a grave crisis. Comments A Modern Girl Mrs. Forbes-Robertson Hale spoke Wednesday of this week on the subject, "The Modern Girl." "The young American girl," she said, "has a fine, free spirit, whose faults are due largely to lack of home life and spiritual training." Mrs. Hale, thoagh thoroughly Erg- lish hereself, married an American and has, as she says, three "American dauch- ters." Her criticisms were fair, above all, constructive. She gave her audience something tangible, some practical and vitally helpful sugges- tions. sane and | COMMUNITY HOUSE CALENDAR WEEK OF FEBRUARY 19TH.
