ADAMS PHARMACY The Elm & Linden exall Store WINNETKA 2 Jane Wilson Tells of Western Actors, Riders Near Camp An interesting letter has been re- ceived from Jane Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira J. Wilson of 325 Ridge avenue. She is at Mrs. Wortley's camp, Camp Newaka at Ward, Colo. At the camp with her are Ruth King of Wilmette and Eliza- beth Freudenreich of Kenilworth. At Cheyenne, Wyo., where they went for a short trip, they witnessed the mak- ing of a western "thriller." Speaking of dinner in the Plains hotel she says: ""Waltzie' came over to us and pointed out Baby Peggy, her mother, father, and sister, eating at a table nearby. We immediately got up and walked by her table to get a better look. Two or three times we bumped right into Mable Strickland, who was champion cowgirl rider of the world for the year 1927. She was dressed in a white Stetson, white cowboy boots and long white pants, a white silk blouse and a black sash. She has an awfully cute figure and looked darling." At another meal, they saw more ac- tors, "Ken Maynard and Kathryn Mc- Donald sat right in back of me, with Leonard Stroud, a very good-looking fancy rider and roper, and some other girl. I could have touched him without half trying." Head-on Collision Spells Wreckage of Two Machines Last Saturday night, in the west part Winnetka, two cars met head-on with sufficiént force to break the front axel, left front wheel and spring on the car driven by Albert A. Junker, residing on Shermerville road, Glencoe, and wrecking the steering gear and a fender on the other car driven by Elmer Wennlund of 860 Ash street, Winnetka. Neither of the drivers were injured, according to the report of Sergeant Ed Cummings and Officer L. E. Barker. Miss Suzanne Kohlsaat of 777 Bry- ant avenue, entertained at luncheon and bridge for twelve on Wednesday of this week. BUSINESS SHUTS DOWN FOR PICNIC THURSDAY (Continued from Page 1) 7.
