Mu WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 LOCAL CLUBS SEND DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION Prospectrs Sho Shows Beautiful Home Club May Build ACH local club feels a deep in- terest in the activities, hopes and plans of its neighbors, both be- cause of the natural proximity of loca- tion, and because of the similarity of purpose. Some of the clubs have at- tractive clubhouses for the variety of use to which such buildings are put, while others are hoping to realize their dreams. Among this latter group, is the Woman's Library club of Glen- coe, homeless for nearly two years. For some time past news has ap- peared from time to time of social affairs, lecture courses, and even a business enterprise undertaken to raise money to turn into an ever increasing building fund for a beautiful new home designed for the Library club. Last week a prospectus was mailed to the members, charmingly depicting an artistic building of Tudor design which the club hopes to be able to put up if the necessary funds can be secured. Although a general cam- paign for subscriptions has been de- ferred for the present club year, the prospectus is in the hands of every member for reterence and future use. The plans of the proposed building as shown in the prospectus, are the result of careful inspection by the plan committee, of clubhouses commu- nity centers, churches, hotels, and kitchens, on the north shore and in Chicago. By interviewing officers of clubs, and persons in charge of build- ings of community interest, informa- tion of practical value was procured as to the mistakes made in their re- spective buildings. The committee was constantly urged to "plan adequately," as the great need of all the women's clubs visited was for more rooms and larger auditorinms. Many of the build- ings were handicapped by the fact that they were too small for the work they had to do. The plan committee, with the able assistance and advice of a group of men, one from each of the five public bodies interested in the construction of a fine building in the center of Glencoe, namely from the Plan com- mission, the Village board, the Library board, the Park board and the Men's club, massed their information, and spent many weeks in discussion, for the Library club is of great importance to the village, as it.is to be the first building of the Glencoe Plan. Its ar- chitecture will be a factor in determin- ing the future development of the municipal group of civic and commer- cial structures. In fact several build- mgs now being erected in the business center harmonize with the architecture of the proposed clubhouse, which, if plans carry through, will provide a community center for public gather- ings, high-class entertainment, and so- cial functions. The Tudor style was the one finally considered the most adaptable to the club's requirements, as well as the most suitable to the location, because it is a rustic, informal type of architec- ture conveying the feeling of the sub- urb and the home-like quality desired by the club women. The prospectus shows a building, "though broken by wings, bays, gables, and offsets, is drawn together in a harmonious whole, a unit architecturally, and a worthy example of the Tudor English." A spacious entrance hall gives ac- cess to every part of the club. In ad- dition to the dressing rooms, a large auditorium 60 feet by 60, which, with extensions and the balcony, will seat 1,000, the spacious lounge, the stage adapted to all uses, the dining room suitable for social affairs and small meetings, the office and board room, the most convenient of kitchen and pantries, the committee rooms, and the projection rooni, will be the large Glen- coe Men's club room in the basement, with a seating capacity of 320, and the lobby which can be converted into a men's smoking room. The Woman's Library club which celebrated its golden anniversary a year ago this past summer, has had a unique history. Five ears after the organization of the village of Glencoe, the club was organized in 1874, and has the distinction of being the fourth oldest woman's club in the United States. It had its begining as a read- ing circle, and adanced with ready eof oe ode of oe ob oF oF oe obo ob ode ob ode od odo ood Bb Bold COMING See Rosenberg's Announcement in next week's paper Davis Street, Evanston At the "L" of oe oe of oe oe oF oe oe oe oe of of oe of oe of of ode Fob Bode A aha A tat a id il Boo odo oe odo oo ode ob od of ode ob ode od ob odode od ob oo ode ode ode od ol BoBoR Bol oR oR adaptability to the times, into a cir- culating library, then into a literary club, and is steadily progressing in its development. 'When tlie reading circle outgrew the fireside, a clubhouse was needed, and the women of those early days turned their efforts towards supplying this necessity, just as the women of the present are doing. In 1905 the first clubhouse was erected as a memorial to Mrs. Thomas Allen, whose hus- band bequeathed a handsome sum of money, and to Anne Evans Nutt, the first club president, whose four sons donated half of the land of the club site in their mother's memory. As the membership of the club in- creased, the first clubhouse became in- adequate, and it was finally decided advisable to sell the property and buy a new site. This purchase was made in 1923. The lot, 200 feet wide and 246 feet deep, the site of the proposed building, is situated about midway be- tween Vernon avenue and the railroad, adjoining on the south, the alley which runs parallel to and immediately north of Park avenue; an alley which is to be converted into a street 60 feet wide, which will be called Tudor court. This particular spot is elevated above the adjacent land, and is surrounded by stately trees. To make the setting more complete, the Glencoe Park board has acquired the property to the east and west, thus surrounding the club site with open parks.

Read the Want-Ads Peace and Law Discussed at State Federation Meet HE local clubs are sending dele- gates to the thirtieth annual con- vention of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs held in Decatur this week, and which, it is stated, will comprise a voting body of approxi- mately 600 women. The questions to be especially considered during the convention will be sane and construc- tive peace measures, law enforcement, and the study of American citizen- ship. According to a recent statement, Mrs. George Thomas Palmer of Springfield, president of the federa- tion, considers the subjects of peace and the enforcement of law, the two most important ones toward which the women of today can direct their in- terest. "I would like to see a wise middle ground reached by the honest and loyal pacifist (one who wants peace) and the honest anti-pacifist. That will be necessary that these elements clamoring for 'peace at any price' may come to realize that they are play- ing into the hands of the enemies of our country by such propaganda; that those earnest people who are loyal to America, but who are working for peace, may recognize that a certain preparedness for America is necessary as long as the rest of the world is armed; that those who are for a rea- sonable protection and not disarma- ment, may not be accused by the pacifists of wanting war; and, finally, that the peace loving who are patri- otic may not be called traitors by the other side." Mrs. Palmer, it is reported, would like to see a greater national con- sciousness, respect for the govern- ment, and deeper and truer patriotism. She especialy urges these things to counter--balance the "seemingly grow- ing youth movement, which resents authority and restraint and which demands unrestricted individual lib- erty." She will try to show that with the occupation of a childs leisure time, there will ensue an alleviation Something new on VICTOR RECORDS Every Week NORTH SHORE TALKING MACHINE CO. 554 Center St. 712 Church St. Winnetka Evanston a -- -- loved ones. it is absolutely fresh! it in by fast trains from doorstep.

Mrs. Palmer also feels that it will soon be necessary for women to devote time to jury service, "distasteful" as she says it is. The convention sessions commenced on Tuesday morning to continue through Friday. Among the speakers at the various departmental meetings were Thurlow G. Essington, state senator; Rev. Elmer IL. Williams, Dr. David E. Kinley, president of the University of Illinois; Ninian Welch, president of the Isaac Walton league, and Prof. J. W. Garner. Motorists' Association Fights License Arrests Vigorous protest against the activi- ties of the Maryland officials who, it is reported, have been arresting mo- torists for traveling through their state with Florida license plates, has been sent to the American Automo- bile association by various automobile clubs. According to the legal department of the Chicago Motor club, the motor- ists who have been arrested were us- ing Florida license plates which were good for six months and do not ex- pire until July 1. The Maryland offi- cials arrested them, it is reported, on the theory that it was necessary for them to purchase Maryland license tags, even though they might remain in that state for only a few hours. These motorists were fined, and in some instances were prohibited from entering the state, and in consequence have had to remain in Washington 10 to 20 days until they could get in touch with the secretaries of state of their respective states. The American Automobile associa- tion has been urged to immediately take the mater into the Maryland courts, and if possible obtain a decision reversing the activities of these offi- cials.
