12 WINNETKA TALK June 23, (928 Gas-Electric Locomotive Draws C. and N. W. Train North shore residents who last Mon- day morning witnessed a special train speeding northward on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, drawn by a huge, modern gas-electric motor en- gine and conveying in the three coaches which it pulled the various members of the road's official family, saw visions of the long predicted elec- trification of suburban trains. There have also been rumors, it is said, that when this service does come, it is not improbable that the terminal of the Northwestern's suburban elec- tric trains will be located on State street, just north of the Chicago river and adjacent to the shopping' center. The North Western electric train which passed through the north shore ast Monday, was en route to Milwau- ee. . Its high speed, comparatively quiet! PLAY TENNIS MATCHES Boys and girls of the Skokie Coun- try club and Indian Hill Golf club will clash in league tennis matches at the Indian Hill club Sunday afternoon, June 24, at 2:30 o'clock.

Flowers Enhance Windows of Winnetka Station To the thoughtful, public-spirited members of the Winnetka Garden club, residents of the village who ride on the Chicago and North Western trains and others who pass through the village daily are indebted for the bright and cheerful exterior of the Winnetka station. In all of the windows on the west side of the depot, the Winnetka Gar- den club has placed substantial, well- painted flower boxes, each of which is filled with pretty blooming foliage, and vines, with most pleasing effect. This is a plan which other north shore Garden clubs may emulate and judging from the covetous manner in which Agent F. W. Anhalt's fellow agents, up and down the line, are view- ing the pretty posies in his windows, they will gladly welcome a movement of this kind by their local clubs.
