tl ' > b > Today sega: hy 1 Ey / RIND X La 4 Little" Journeys -to~Pla of Eddcati ! / > Em AYA af HAITI: MAGIC ISLE OF THE INDIES Picture an island more wonderful, more beautiful and more richly en- dowed by nature even than the fabled isles that medieval mariners loved to dream about; a country of pleasant peaks, charming vales and fertile plains; an idyllic land set in a summer "sea. Picture then a land where the ava- rice of conquerors, ruthlessly exploit ing, has blasted promises of progress; where the passions of men have run riot; where tyrant after tyrant, some great, some petty, have waded to power through pools of blood; a land from which the gods of peace and in- dustry seem to have turned away. Both are pictures of Haiti, the rela- tions between which country and the United States are now under discus- sion. To avoid confusion it must be ex- plained at the outset that the name Haiti is used sometimes to denote the entire island, which is the second larg- est land mass in the West Indies, sometimes to denote merely the Re- public of Haiti, which occupies the western third of its area. The possi bilities of confusion are increased by the fact that the island is also known as Santo Domingo and San Domingo, names applied likewise to the Domini- can Republic, which occupies the east- ern two-thirds of the land unit. The name Haiti is much used be- cause it was the descriptive term, meaning "high land," given to the island by its aborigines. This was the favorite island of the West Indies to Columbus, who reserved for it the most complimentary name bestowed on the lands which he discovered--Hispan- | Something of the! impression which this beautiful and | fola, "little Spain." promising island made on the great discoverer can be gleaned from his reference to it as a "Garden of Eden," | and from the fact that he named the point at which he first set foot in Haiti, December 6, 1492, "the Vale of Paradise." History has been prodigal to the island of Haiti and has crowded one interesting and tragic event after an- other into the relatively short span of years stce the eyes of white men first beheld its towering peaks. On its northern coast, near the present Cape Haitien, the Santa Maria, which bore Columbus to the new world, was wrecked on Christmas eve, 1492, and from its broken, historic boards was set up by the crew the first structure erected by Europeans in the western hemisphere. This was the fortress of Navidad, in which the men of the Santa Maria were killed while Colum- bus was on his return voyage to Spain to report his epoch-making discovery of "the Indies." - Farther to the east on the northern coast of the island Columbus built on his return the first white settlement in ¢ the new world, naming the little town "Isabella" for the queen who had made his voyage of discovery possible. On this second trip Columbus brought with him to his magic isle a great fleet bearing a large force of soldiers and adventurers. After defeating the na- tives the conquerors journeyed to the south coast and there laid the foun- 'dations of the city of Santo Domingo-- first permanent city established by Eu- ropeans in America, for many years the most important outpost of western civilization, and forerunner of the countless cities and villages that are the seats today of the industry, com- merce and culture of the three Amer- icas. MEN'S CLUB HEARS TALK ON "POLAND AND BOLSHEVISM" 'A large group of Winnetka men represented in the Winnetka Men's ¢lub enjoyed a talk of compelling in- terest Tuesday evening at Commun- ity House when Col. Henry J. Reilly, Winnetka's most distinguished fight- er in the World war, told of some of his recent experiences in the War- saw region in Poland 'during the great struggle between the Polish forces and the followers of the Bolsheviki regime in Russia. Col. Reilly's subject was "Poland and Bolshevism". ba The talk was preceded by the sec- ond monthly dinner of the Men's club at 6:30 o'clock. OWEN MOORE TO STAR |NEW TRIER SENIORS AT COMMUNITY HOUSE Commedian Appears at Local Theater in Picture Replete With Thrills and Astonishing Situations . It is difficult to define Owen Moore's latest Selznick picture, "Poor Simp," wich is to be shown to a large patronage of theater-goers at the Community House Nov. 26. It may be classed as a farce comedy with dramatic situations and the ele- ment of suspense worked up in the nth degree or it could be called a fast-moving drama with unusual good comedy scenes, in either case it provides most excellent screen en- tertainment and reflects great credit on all concerned--J. Shakespeare San- soy for the clever story, Owen Moore and his capable supporting cast for their intelligent character portray- als, Victor Heerman for the artistic direction, and the Selznick forces in general for the high standard of production.

GLENVIEW CLUB WOMEN TO FURNISH ROOM IN HOSPITAL Women members of the Glenview Golf club are subscribing two dollars each to furnish a $500 room in the children's department of the new policlinic hospital. This room is to have a plate in- scribed, "Furnished by the Women of the Glenview Club," and all members are urged to join in this big civic un- dertaking, Mrs. David Fiske is in charge of the subscription committee and it is | announced that all checks should be made payable to the Chicago Poli- clinic and mailed to Mrs. Fiske. RAILWAY RECUPERATION All traffic records were broken the week of September 25 when 994,687 cars were loaded. Shortage of cars meant shortage of goods, particularly of coal. Among the surprising turns in the railroad situation is the fact that in Chicago it has been discover- ed that there are from 10 to 15 per cent more men on the railroad pay- rolls, particularly in the clerical and equipment departments, than are needed. The Pennsylvania railroad is also understood to have found that they had a superfluous number of em- ployes in some divisions of the work. Thus, it appears that the rail- roads during the sixteen months that they were under Government con- trol, started to copy the inefficient methods found everywhere in Gov- ernment employment, which results from stuffing the payroll in order to make places for somebody or other. The country has fortunately, perhaps, narrowly, escaped from being com- mitted to an experiment of running the railways for the benefit of the workers rather than that of the con- sumers of goods. This would have been as lamentable as the demon- stration that some of the railways had been run in the past for the bene- fit of security manipulators. The new pages in the history of the railways promise to be brighter than the earlier ones. HIS BUSY DAY Back in the dim distant years when the high cost of living was not an ever-present problem and some things were cheap, James Whitcomb Riley walked into a barber shop at Greenfield for a five-cent shave. The proprietor of the shop was an old negro. ; "Well, Sam, how are you getting along?" Mr. Riley asked. "Mr. Jim, I had a very good day," Sam replied. "If I could make seventy-five cents between now and quittin' time I'd have a dollar."--In- dianapolis News. FOOTBALL GAME The Winnetka All-stars and Harry P. Clarke's school wizards will stage a football contest Thanksgiving Day. PLAN CHILD PARTY Will Wander Back in Fancy to Freshmanhood "Tc Enjoy By- gene Delights of Childhood" Erudite seniors of New Trier Town- ship High school, known to the undergraduates as "octogenarians", are planning to wander in fancy back to Freshmanhood in a grand party to be held at the school on the night immediately preecding Thanks- giving Day. The challenge to the seniors to foregather for this event comes through the columns of the current issue of the New Trier News as follows: "Chairman Sherman Barnett of the Senior social committee announces that the reverend and dignified mem- bers of the greatest class on earth will have the opportunity to enjoy temporarily the by-gone delights of their childhood. He has consulted the famous Dr. Varenoff of Vienna, the cruinent authority on goat-glands, and has made his plans accordingly. Dress as Children "On the night before Thanksgiving when all through the school not a teacher is stirring or even other mice, the grave seniors are to fore- gather in the auditorium and lunch hall and become children again in dress, manners, and food. Chairman Barnett has arranged several novel amusements, dancing, (The Wright kind--a'la Paris on Armistice iu costume contest, auction of mysteri- ous articles, plain and fancy vamp- ing, cinematics, etc. It threatens to be a party of generous dimensions. "Meanwhile, the first senior assess- ' ment is being collected, the musicians arranged for, and the food, punch and wallop prepared.

The upset occurred last Saturday morning at New Trier when the New Trier eleven defeated the unbeaten visitors 2 to 1, thereby go- ing into a tie for the Suburban title with the Oak Parkers. The contest was a scrappy one throughout. Within the first five minutes the home team rang up their two points of the game and then set to work holding the visitors at the same time endeavoring to add a couple more markers to their own total. They failed to repeat as the Oak Park team held at the critical moments. Just before the curtain rang for the first half Hahn of Oak pressed several times in the second half but excellent team work saved the day. New Trier owes much of its suc- cess in soccer to Coach Jack Pater- son, who has been threatening the westsiders for several seasons but was unable to stop their rush until Saturday.
