3 { | rrr le emery os --p------ - 12 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1920 ' 89 NEW CHAPLAINS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN One Is Provided for Each 1,200 Offi- cers and Men, According to An- nouncement Maj.-Gen. P. C. Harris, the adjutant general of the army, announces the selection and appointment of eighty- nine new chaplains for the regular army out of 300 applicants who had served as officers throughout the war. This is in conformity with the new reorganization law, providing for 240 chaplains, or one to each 1,200 officers and men. : All the aspirants have been care- fully examined by different boards of officers as to their professional, men- tal and physical qualifications, and the survivors of this test then care- fully looked up from the standpoint of clerical fitness through the various denominational agencies. The clergy- men thus selected have been com- JEaioned with rank from July 1, Proportion Is Made After careful study by representa- tives of the war department the pro- portion of the denominations was tentatively fixed by Secretary of War Baker at 25 per cent for the Roman Catholic church, 70 per cent for the Protestant church and 5 per cent . for adjustments that cannot be made on strictly mathematical apportion- ment. This conclusion is based on a careful survey of census reports, as well as the religious census of 1916. In making the announcement, Gen- eral Harris adds: "Under the new reorganization law full provision has been made for the moral and spiritual training of our enlisted men. A new corps of chap- lains has been created. Their entire: effort will be along the lines of char- acter building and proper. guidance for the young soldiers under their charge, coupled with the new pro- gram of education and occupational training for the troops."

PROTESTS PRACTICE OF PARK OFFICERS Motor Club Says Police Pick Garages in Wrecks Avoiding Motor Club Stations The Chicago Motor club, of which many north shore residents are mem- bers, is entering a vehement protest against the growing practice of park police officers sending wrecked cars to garages picked arbitrarily by the officer. Within the past few days several cases have come to the notice of the club officials wherein a member was forced to have his car towed to a garage selected by the officer. 2 Tells of Incident A woman member ran into a tree in Sheridan road in order to avoid striking another car. The officer de- manded that a garage near the loop be authorized to tow the car. The woman refused, stating that as a member of the Chicago Motor club, she was entitled to free towing serv- ice. The officer was obdurate, how- ever, and the car was towed from Argyle street 'to a point within a few blocks from the loop. The offi- cial station of the Chicago Motor club was only a short distance from the scene of the accident. The second incident occurred on Michigan avenue. Charles M. Hayes, president of the club, happened to be passing when the officer was insist- ing upon the wreck being taken to a certain repair shop. Mr. Hayes pro- tested, saying that the club service department could handle the case without charge to the motorist. The officer would listen to no argument and threatened to arrest Mr. Hayes for interfering with an officer. The superintendent of the South Park board was appealed to and he de- clared that the policeman had ex- ceeded his authority in making this demand.

Illinois, October T30-2te DEPLORES NEW YORK HOUSING SITUATION; 10,000 IN ONE BLOCK New York.--The housing situation in New York City as it exists at present is both immoral and a men- ace to the lives and health of the people, according to Health Com- missioner Royal S. Copeland. "The housing conditions in this city are unbelievable," said Commis- sioner Copeland. "There are many apartments of three rooms in which twelve persons are living. On west One Hundred and Forty-second street there is a building where the landlord formerly got $65 a month for each floor. He divided each floor into two apartments and now gets $150 a month for the space for which he formerly received $65. . "This landlord has boarded up the dumbwaiters for kitchenettes in the rear apartments, and for kitchenttes in the front apartments he has used the toilets. Such conditions as this will result in cholera if they are not checked. "In one sanare block in the city of New York there are 10.000 persons livine. In one square mile there are 500.000 persons living. Such condi- tion is a menace to public health and to morals."
