Chil- dren will report at 3:30 o'clock, and adults at 4:30. The announcement is also made that children of six years of age and under will assemble at 1124 Tower road. For those unfamiliar with the work being done in these very interesting classes, a sentence or two quoted from "Mothers' Aid Message," from an ar- ticle published by Miss Pearse, will ex- plain the nature of the classes. "Today, in the so-called "Jazz Age," it is a known fact that of all people, the Americans are living harder and faster than at any other period in history. Along with city life we learn to move quickly and with the rush comes nervous tension. Jazz music and dancing, syncopation, and the Charles- ton are but the expression of our pres- ent American life," Miss Pearse as- serts. She continues later in this article, to say, that, "Muscular tensions result from a number of causes; too much of the wrong kind of exercise, (as in the case of the athlete whose hard, knotted muscles do not necessarily mean the strength and endurance found in the long lithe muscles of an- imals) ; self-consciousness, which man- ifests itself in the flat chest, the con- sequent rounded shoulders, the weak sway-back, and bent knees; or the tension of the self-assertive individ- ual, rigidly defying the world. These, however, along with the tense nervous systems, by means of relaxation are made gradually to give way to a cor- related body and well - organized nervous system capable of being used with excellent effort in everyday affairs of life." Further information regarding Miss Pearse's classes can be obtained from Miss Johnson at Winnetka 1170. Local Women Interested in Bills Before Assembly Bills 41, 42 and 43 were introduced to the State assembly at Springfield Wednesday, January 26, by Mrs. Rena Elrod, Republican representative from the twenty-fifth senatorial district, and Mrs. Lottie O'Neill presented the bill on shorter hours for women, on Feb- ruary 2. The other bills have to do with women serving on juries. The Winnetka League of Women Voters is vitally interested in all these bills. Number 41 is concerned with the drawing of jury lists with the amend- ment of the clause that electors of "both sexes," comprise the amendment set forth in bill number 42 on the jury commissioners' act. The criminal jury prudence in bill 43 contains the following change, that when not in deliberation on verdict, the men and women be separated and delivered by court officers to respec- tive compartments. Representatives would like to hear from their consti- tuents as to their opinion on voting. DISPLAYS NEW CARS A. W. Person, Hudson-Essex dealer of Highland Park, will display the new super-six Hudson and Fssex motor cars at the Hubbard Woods garage, Tower road and Center street, Hub- bard Woods, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, February 7, 8 and 0.
