WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 DO WE READ? LOOK AT THIS Library Does Thriving Sum- mer Business Despite Vacation Activity 200 BOOKS OUT DAILY Evolution Works, Travel and Fiction in Demand Reading as a popular indoor sport has more than held its own this sum- mer, in spite of the lure of tennis courts, golf links and the lake, accord- ing to reports issued by the Public library this week. Both adults and children have kept up their use of the library quite as much as during the winter months, the records show. Much reference work is being done, it was said, and the demand for new books, not only fiction, but biograph- ical and scientific works as well, is greater than can be supplied. Outdo Winter Months Records of the library show that during January of this year 634 non- fiction and 2,138 fiction books were read by adult card holders, while juveniles read 258 non-fiction and 737 fiction books, making a total of 3,767 books read during the month. During February 3,858 books were read, which were distributed in about the same manner. These are the two months during the winter in which reading is usually the heaviest. June and July records, which have just been completed, show that in these months the number of books read was 4,127 and 4,210, respectively. This in spite of the great number of persons who are away on vacations, and in spite of the fact that people are sup- posed not to do as much reading in summer as in the winter months, when weather conditions make it impossible for many to be out-of-doors much of the time. Demand for Biographies Biographies have been in great de- mand this summer, it was said. The shelves of the library are filled with many excellent biographies, some of which are new books just received, and they have proved very popular. There has not been as great a demand for books on jevolution and modern thought on religion as was expected, because of the prominence into which these subjects were thrust by the re- cent Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn. _ Another unusual feature of the sum- mer demand in reading is that there are more calls for travel books than for fiction. There are many good travel books to be had at the library, some of which are late books and have only been on the shelves for a short time. HOLD LUTHERAN SERVICES The Rev. D. S. Lofgren of Chicago will preach at the Lutheran services to be held Sunday evening, August 9, at 7:45 o'clock in Christ church Parish house, Oak and Linden streets. All residents of the village are invited to these services. Miss Katherine King, 146 Bertling lane, is spending a three weeks' vaca- tion in New York and New Jersey. "Empire Section" Newest Feature at Memorial Park Britons and Americans of British ex- traction are regarding with interest the establishment of a section at Memorial Park cemetery, Ridge ave- nue and Harrison street, to be re- served as the burial place of English people of Chicago and the north shore. The section, designated as Empire section, contains 1258 lots and is lo- cated directly in front of the proposed $2,500,000 mausoleum, construction of which is to begin about November 15 of this year. One hundred graves already have been set aside for the British Old Peo- ple's home to be used at the discretion of the officials of that institution. A monument of large proportions and exquisite design covering 1, square feet and representative of all parts of the Empire is to be erected near the center of the section. The Empire section is in charge of J. E. LaBarge, 703 Marquette build- ing, Chicago. Winnetka A. C's Trim Highly Touted "Champs" The Winnetka A. C's hooked up with the so-called champions of the south side last Sunday, but, oh, what a time they enjoyed. After the dust cleared away, the home boys were groggy from running the bases and came out on top by the score of 24 to 11. After three innings, they were al- most "all in" and played some poor baseball as a result. MOTTO: Don't play champions! Tomorrow Lake Bluff comes to town to cross bats. The locals hope they also are cham- pions. Pleasant Memories Make Life Worth While at 88 W. M. Hoyt, 550 Sheridan road, for many years a resident of Winnetka, recently celebrated his 88th birthday. He says that he is still enjoying life, nature and pleasant memories, and is contemplating his usual trips to Iowa and Vermont before leaving for his winter home in Florida early in Octo- ber. Mr. Hoyt's wife died at his Flor- ida home last spring. He announces that he will dispose of his Winnetka home, which is known as Ash lodge. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Lau have returned from a motor trip of two weeks in Wisconsin. Miss Olga Mangel, 490 Sunset road, has gone ot Fish Creek, Wis, for a two weeks' vacation.
