>» WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 7 Manufacture Daylight for Dawes Ceremony Electrical engineers of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois are the skillful artists of this night-time pic- ture of the home and lawn of General Charles G. Dawes where he was formally notified on August 19 of his selection as republican vice-presidential nominee. The notification ceremonies did not begin before night fall. Confronted with the task of turning night to day so that the enormous crowd could have a clear cut view of the proceedings, the Public Service company engineers floodlighted the home and speakers' stand by an unique arrangement of powerful lights concealed in the tree-tops. Hundreds of other lights were strung on the trees dotting the extensive grounds between the house and lake shore thereby giving a lighting range to cover the entire crowd. The whole lighting scheme was so arranged that persons on the speakers' platform were distinctly visible hundreds of feet distant. Loud speakers carried the speakers' voices to the extreme limits of the crowd. Kenilworth Happenings Mr. and Mrs. David DeCamp have as house guests, her brother, Richard S.
