The show is being organized by groups of Chicago and north shore society women to swell the coffers of the Illinois Children's Home and Aid society. The charity to be benefited is one of the most appealing in the state, aiming to provide homes for children in need of such. The society has three homes--one in Duquoin, Ill, to take care of the children in the extreme southern part of the state, a training school for older girls at Patomac and a re=- ceiving home right here in Evanston. The past year more than 3,000 chil- dren who would otherwise have been deprived of proper homes have been served. In some cases where the need is only temporary the child is returned to the parents, in other cases a permanent home is provided, thus preserving the child from be- coming "institutionalized." The so= ciety is greatly in need of funds to carry on the work of the home and what could be more thrilling than a western cowboy engaged in his favorite pastime. Remember any afternoon or evening mext week if you go to Grant Park you will get your money's worth of excitment and aid a worthy cause. Weather permitting Skokie Coune try club will hold its moving picture show out of doors, this evening, "Scrap Iron," featuring Charles Ray, is the picture to be presented. -- Tomorrow afternoon, at five o'clock, there will be another of the delightful Sunday musical programs.
