> aR. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924 Who's Who Flees in the Shadows; Whole Town Agog Has anybody seen Who's Who? Talk's detective staff from Chicago has been unable to locate him to date. Although the sleuths have trailed down a score of clues, Who's Who eluded them in every mstance. Some folks claim that Who's Who only operates at night, while many oth- er Winnetkans declare they have seen him--in disguise, of course--right on the village streets in broad daylight. Be that as it may, here's what a dweller in Arbor Vitae road confided, Thursday, to the writer: "I was lying awake at 2 o'clock this morning, when I heard the patter of footsteps on the walk in front of my home. It seemed as if someone were taking a constitutional at that strange hour back and forth on my sidewalk. I got up to investigate and I guess the turning on of the lights in my room attracted the nocturnal pedestrian, for he quickly hurried off and was soon lost in the distance. But I had a fairly good view of him and must say he was a queer looking creature. He wore bushy whiskers, a cocked hat and knee breeches. Do you believe it was Who's Who--I1 surely do." From other sections of Winnetka come many stories concerning Who's Who that are just as puzzling as this one from the Arbor Vitae resident. It is claimed that in some districts chil- dren are now afraid to venture from their homes after dark and that late so- called "necking parties" (information provided by the office girl) in all areas of the village have been temporarily can celled--all because of Who's Who, the greatest mystery man in all the history of Winnetka. And this seems strange, too, because uncanny as is his reputation, Who's Who, up to this time, has never been charged by anyone with vicious propensities. The situation is becoming so alarming that WINNETKA TALK purposes to offer a cash reward for the capture of Who's Who if he be not located or identified within the next week. Watch for the next issue of WiINN- NETRA TaALk for something definite about the north shore's greatest mystery --Who's Who. Ls Read the Want-Ads A BOOK REVIEW The Khoja--Talds of Nazr-ed-Din, published by D. Appleton & Co., trans- lated from the Turkish by Henry D. Barnham; illustrated by Tony Sarg; $2.50. The Khoja--master or teacher--is a new and attractive volume of some one hundred and eighty amusing tales and anectdotes translated from the Turkish by Henry D. Barnham ,who spent many years in consular service in the Levant. Sir Valentine Chirol and Mr. Barnham have an introduction and foreword sketched in a background and setting for the Khoja which is enlightening to occidental" readers. The Khoja (the K is silent), or Narz-ed-Din, is the hero or victim of each indident recounted, and appears in turn as sage, simpleton, philosopher or fool, sometimes shrewd- ly solving perplexing problems for the local magistrate or his neighbors and in the next tale appearing as a buffon. He plays pranks on his friends and is the butt of their jokes in turn. It was not until after the revolution and the new constitution that any volume of stories about this Khoja, whose name is a household word wherever the Turk- ish language is spoken, was allowed to be published. Abdul Hamid seems to have feared his frequent jibes at au- thority, especially judicial authority. WINNETKA PUBLIC SCHOOL ~ Winnetka, Illinois, July 1, 1924.
