April 3, 1926 WINNETKA TALK V7 Noted Speakers to Reappear April 7 at Woman's Club For April 7, the Woman's club of Wilmette has announced another most enjoyable program composed of talks by Mrs. Clara Ingham Judson and Mrs. Theron Colton. Both have spoken to the club before and need no words of recommendation. In the morning at 11 o'clock, Mrs. Judson will talk on "Finances." She takes up so many different angles of this topic that there could hardly be anyone not interested in the subject. The children's side of the financial question, including allowances, will make a very fine part of her talk. Mrs. Theron Colton will give a lec- ture on the "Birds and Flowers of the North Shore," at 2 o'clock. She is so well known along the north shore, that her name on the program is enough to insure something good. Mrs. Colton says her lecture on flowers is by far the best one that she gives, and as she gives that in its entirety, illustrat- ing with many lantern slides, in addi- tion to a short talk on birds, the club may look forward to an especially en- joyable as well as instructive afternoon. Enlistments Come Fast for C. M. Training Camps The receipt of applications for the Citizen's Military Training Camps so far this year indicate that they are still popular with the young men and an over subscription is assured, it is said. Fifty percent of the quota that can be trained from Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin has already been received and applications are reaching Corps Area headquarters at the rate of about 100 a day. Young men between 17 and 24 years of age interested in spending thirty days in the out-of-doors, without ex- pense to themselves or their family would do well to acquaint themselves with Uncle Sam's generous provisions for the Citizen's Military Training Camps. Until all places at the Camps are filled, General Giaves' Headquar- ters at 1819 West Fershing road, Chi- | cago, Illinois, will continue to provide application blanks to those interested in being Uncle Sam's guest for thirty days this summer. Major Frederick E. Clerk is re- cruiting officer for Winnetka, while Major Clarence Lineberger is in charge of enlistments in Hubbard Woods. Fort Sheridan to Stage Horse Show and Military Drill North Shore residents interested in riding exhibits will find their interest engaged by the announcement that on Tuesday evening, April 6, at 8 o'clock, a military exhibition of riding and drill will be given at Fort Sheridan, in the Riding hall of the Post. The program will include a musical drill by one of the cavalry troops, jumping classes by officers and enlisted men, a wall scaling exhibition by the Second Infantry, a drill by Battery A, 14th Field Artillery, and a jumping ex- hibition with the participants eques- triennes of the Fort. The purpose of the show is to pro- vide a fund for officers of the post who have been granted leave of absence to take part in the polo matches to be held on Long Island this fall. The government has granted them leave but no expense fund has been set apart, it is announced. Tickets may be procured by apply- ing to Capt. E. M. Foster, telephone Highland Park 880. How to Buy a Radio First. Go to a dealer in whom you have confidence . . . . one who understands Radio and will stand behind any set he recommends. Second. Tell the dealer exactly how much you can afford to spend, whether in cash or in time payments. Third. Let the dealer call at your home and examine the conditions under which the set must operate . . . . for conditions vary and no two sets oper- ate the same under identical condi- tions. Fourth. Try out . . .. in your own home . . . . the set he recommends. If you follow this method, you will get a Radio set that works properly in your home . . . . one that harmonizes with your furniture and one you can afford.
