The goal is half a million dollars, which will be adequate to run the chapter two years. Approximately one man out of every four who offered their lives to the country is either dead or has suf- fered a disability. The families of many of these men are our responsibility. The Chicago chapter aided 10,000 disabled veterans last year. The Chicago chapter secured $60,- 000 in governmental compensation for disabled veterans in one month. The Chicago chapter has transcrib- ed 400 volumes of standard literature into Braille for blinded ex-service men who are always asking for some- thing to read. The practical and economical meth- ods of helping the disabled ex-service man is to enroll with and contribute to the Red Cross. Public Library News and Reviews a Barnum Drinkwater... 0... Robert E.

It is a powerful story of the sea and recounts the stirring adventures which befell a beautiful young woman cast adrift upon the ocean in a small boat in the company of two burly stokers. Af- ter some dreary days in the boat they take refuge on board a sinking schooner, irom which they are rescued in the nick of time, after one of the men had been been killed by a falling mast. Mitchell Lewis plays this role. Irvin V. Willat's direction of the picture was excellent. There will be two shows, one at 7:15 and one at 8:45 o'clock. : SOMETHING FOR NOTHING We're told that we mustn't think that we can get something for noth- ing. But what do you call it when vou get a Want Ad for THIRTY CENTS? That's only a little more than nothing. Mrs. A. LI. Massey is passing two weeks in Petersburg and Lincoln, Illi- nois. She has been attending a fam- ily reunion. Pirates Bold Have Lair at School House Should residents of Hubbard Woods and Glencoe happen of a Saturday morning to see a band of fifteen fero- cious looking young pirates with red sashes, bandanas about their heads, dag- gers between their teeth, and cutlasses ready for acticn, they need not get panicky and phone the police. The "pirates, are members of the Haw- thorn School Adventure club, composed of Winnetka and Glencoe boys under the direction of Charles A. Kinney, on one of their treasure hunts. Mr. Kinney, formerly director of shopwork in the Winnetka schools and now head of the manual training de- partment of the Francis W. Parker school in Chicago, is in charge of the shopwork at Hawthorn school. Here the boys have a "cave" where club meetings are held. In this secret place they are fitting up a pirate ship with fo'csle, brig for captives, and a real treasure chest, chiefly for "eats." To enhance the nautical atmosphere of the dry land ship Mr. Kinney has loaned the pirates coils of rope, anchors, life buoys, flags and other marine equip- ment and a small canon. Access to the ship is possible only to those possessing the secret password. The club meets on Wednesday after- noons and Saturday mornings. A part of Saturday is spent in the new school shop. The rest of the time is given to group games, trips into the woods or along the lake where the boys will get some practical experience in camp cookery. A few trips will be made to the Field Museum and other places of interest in Chicago. As soon as the pirate ship is ready for inspection the boys plan to initiate their fathers into the mysteries of pirateering. The boys in the club are John Curtis, Gerry Schnur, Allan Frank, Francis Allen, John Reilly, Jamie Odell, Allen Johnston, David Curtis, Dunham Reilly, John Danley, Melvin Strauss, Wolf Hattery, Charles Palmer-Ball, Jack Odell, Burton French, and Charles Eberhart, who as- sists Mr. Kinney. Peddles Sans License Pays Fine to Northrop Among the offenders listed in the Winnetka police court during the past week appear the name of Jacob Kaleeb, Chicago, who paid a fine to Magistrate Northrop on a charge of disorderly conduct, and peddling without a license. Those. who appeared in the police court for violating the traffic regula- tions were: J. B. Schultz, Chicago; Ed- ward Hughes, Chichgo$- Peter ~Vaisdl, Chicago; Irwin Henbrook, Highland Park; A. K. Stearns, Ravinia. The number of arrests for speeding during the past week is considerably less than that of any previous week over, a period of several months.

VACATION The Streets, Drainage and Forestry committee of the Winnetka council Tuesday of this week reported favor- ably on the application of the North Shore Country Day school board to have Diller street vacated from Forest to Church road. The recommendation of the committee contained the provision that the school authorities enter into the necessary contract with the coun- cil to present to the village the neces- sary land on the west side of Church road required in connection with the proposed through highway route. The Village attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance in that regard for introduction at the next council session. In connection with the Diller street vacation plan the Streets, Drainage and Forestry committee received several ob- jections from property owners on For- est street who were of the opinion that the street in question should be retained open as a parking space for patrons of the school, who otherwise park their cars on Forest street. The school authorities, in that con- nection, agreed, in writing, that, in the event of the vacation of Diller street, parking space would be provided on the school grounds, and promised strict compliance with police regulations pro- hibiting parking on Forest street. The objections were withdrawn, it was said, upon the assurance that there would be no parking on Forest street.
