4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTE MBER 9, 1922 Aaa ROPE HOA HERRIN MURDERER New Jersey Man Contrib- utes to Local Fund John P. Gage, of Vineland, New Jersey, a faithful reader of The Lake Shore News and a former resident of Wilmette, was the first contributor to the Herrin Massacre fund inaugur- ated here a week ago by the New Trier Commercial association. The drive is made at the instance of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, now engaged in raising a fund to expedite the prose- cution of those responsible for the fiendish murder committed recently in the coal regions of Williamson county, Illinois. The Letter | In a letter addressed to The Lake Shore News Mr. Gage has the follow- ing to say about the matter: "Am just in receipt of The Lake Shore News and have read your appeal for funds to defray necessary ex- penses to convict, and I hope hang, those guilty of complicity in the Her- rin Murder. "I enclose a little check and state I have more for the same purpose when called for. Wants Stain Removed "I hate to have the noble state of Illinois dilatory in hunting down, prosecuting, convicting and punishing criminals to the full extent of the law, "Yours for Justice, "John P. Gage." Enclosed in the campaign to raise | the Herrin fund are 102 cities of the | state, comprising 1,000 firms and 36, 000 business and professional men. New Trier has been asked, through | the New Trier Commercial association, | to contribute $200 toward the fund. Milan Lusk Will Teach Violin During Autumn Milan Lusk, well-known violinist, | residing at 810 Michigan ave., wil: | | mette, has returned from a short trip | in Indiana.

Earnest students of the violin are, expected to make an early applica-| tion if they desire to avail themselves | of the opportunity of studying under | Mr. Lusk's approved and scientific | method. | FAMOUS LAST WORDS "lI wonder if it's loaded.

It is to contain all the advantages and recreational features of the most Mr. Harris declares. Fred Ratsch is vice-president of the which has offices in the Chicago. What Do You Do When Using Phone? "What do you do besides talk when you use the telephone?" This question was asked a group of lawyers recently. One said he wrote names, simetimes his own, but more frequently the name of some person he knew, who, strange to say, had nothing to do with the conversation. Another frequently embellished the figures of the number he was calling. A third drew indefinite and unfinished pyramids, and should the conversation be prolonged he shaded these masses. A fourth drew constructive squares, joined them, and made a chess board; a fifth favored angles and circles; a sixth drew the letter H in block for- mation, and if the conversation dragged, added the letter O. This brought the group opinion to an end, with the exception of one who evidently didn't believe in psychology or the subconscious mind or the in- nate American desire to be forever doing something, for he said slowly, "T write the figure 5 to remind me of a limit in minutes to the conversa- tion." From the blank expressions which followed it was evident they thought him a boob. But was he? Who'll Hold the Lucky Key?
