This is a clever and in- teresting dramatization of a day at an election polling place which has been in the hands of a political boss for many years. The characters in the play are taken by Judge Edmund K. Jarecki and the election commissioners of Chicago. Luncheon arrangements are in the hands of Mrs. Frank T. Crawford, and reservations should be made with her by Saturday noon at Winnetka 1279. The service at the luncheon will be in charge of Mrs. William A. Hadley, chairman of precinct 8, and Mrs. Hugo Layer, chairman of precinct 25. They will be assisted by their block captains.

Even Our Coppers Acquire the Habit; Begin School Term All of Winnetka's schools are now operating on regular fall schedule. The latest school, that conducted by the police, fell into line Monday afternoon, with 3 large enrollment, the old staff of instructors in charge and under the direction of W. M. Peterson, chief of the department. The sessions are held in the police court room each Monday afternoon at 3:30 and will continue throughout the fall and winter months. These weekly sessions for police instruc- tion have been held each year since the department occupied the present Village hall quarters and have proven to be not only beneficial, but enjoy- able, as well. When Chief Peterson takes his va- cation a little later, the school will continue even though the "Prof" is away. Sergeants Harry Enault and J. G. Boyd will assume the roles of instructors during his absence. The curriculum of the Winnetka Police school includes a wide range of studies, delving into the laws of the village, state and nation, together with all their fundamentals including their making and enforcement.
