As a direct result of a recent con- ference held in Madison, Wisconsin, of leading educators, realty experts and representatives of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, Northwestern University School of Commerce has amended and revised a program of real estate instruction to meet all of the approved sugges- tions made at the meeting and will present a revamped instructional pro- gram at the opening of the second semester in February. Dean Ralph E. 'Heilman, head of Narthwestern Commerce school, and Brig. Gen. Na- than William MacChesney, a trustee of Northwestern and also counsel for the National Association of Real Estate Boards, attended the Madison conference and have approved of the revised curriculum which is to be ef- fective for students, Thursday, Feb- ruary 7, 1924. The first semester's course at North- western was and is a great success, Dean Heilman affirms, as over 200 persons attended. The call for an ex- tended and revised course has been so insistent he explains, that he and his faculty have decided upon a con- tinuance of the studies. Various other Mid-Western universities whose rep- resentatives attended the Wisconsin meeting also are entering the same field with added impetus and inspira- tion. A feature of the Northwestern university course will be to explain all of the routine details of real estate operations and exchange so that the veriest tyro can and will be benefited. It seems that the field on this score is very large, as thousands of persons not actively engaged in realty opera- tions, own property and occasionally deal in it. Not All Dealers "Out of our 200 registered students in real estate the current semester," commented Dean Heilman, "at least thirty-five per cent were not active realty dealers or employees of such dealers. They were persons who know the dangers of dabbling in real estate without proper training. Few persons, who lose money by reason of ignor- ance of real estate laws or customs will admit it, but it is a fact that fortunes are lost each and every year by such persons. "No odium, of course, attaches to such losses, as persons occasionally are forced to sell realty whether they know anything about the business or not. They are anxious, perhaps, to leave town, or possibly an estate must be settled at once. They place their holdings on the market and face two dangers: First, the danger of a tricky or unscrupulous agent of their own choosing dealing unfairly by them, and second, the danger of the other party fooling them or treating them unjustly. In either case, if the deal be fairly large, the losses may amount to considerable. There is an equal chance of irregularity in smaller transactions, as all of us know." At Northwestern, the revised course will include a series of sixteen class sessions, each of two hours' length. The first session on February 7, will be "at 15:15 'and the second at 7:15. It is learned that many will attend the earlier session while others prefer the latter. As in the current semester at Northwestern, the revised realty course will be under the direct super- vision of Prof. Almer Allen Claar, a graduate of the University of Illinois and of the law school of Northwestern University. Director Claar has taught in Armour Institute of Technology, in the Y.M.C.A. School of Commerce and the Northwestern University School of Commerce. Every feature of realty matters will be covered in lectures, including such topics as legislative, valuations, com- missions or brokerage, listings, sales contracts, exclusive and otherwise; exchange contracts, execution of con- tacts, bibliography on same; evidence of title, bringing title down to date; clearing up objections to title; escrow, surveys, subdivisions, office manage- ment; deeds, mortgages, bonds, vari- ous legal papers, closing of title, leases, special clauses, termination and bibliography; management, co-oper- ative apartments, theory of and prac- tices of today in relation to and legal considerations, and the management of such properties. The lectures will be delivered at the Chicago plant at Dearborn and Lake streets. 1,000 Parents Pay Visit to High School Students About 1,000 parents and friends of New Trier High school visited the school on Thursday, January 24, desig- nated as "Parents' Day" by superin- tendent Frederick E. Clerk. Classes were, conducted after the cus- tomary routine, except that the sessions started after lunch time and continued through the early evening hours in order to meet the convenience of the visitors. The comprehensive and strictly mod- ern school plant, recognized by leading educators as one of the finest in the country, was a genuine revelation to the visitors. Diner was served in the school cafe- teria. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 Northwestern U. Realty Course To Be Broadened, Says Heilman Nord Comes Back Armed with New Ideas for Dress Clothes may not make the man, agrees Emil Nord of the local tailor- ing firm of" Schultz and Nord, but the kind of clothes a man wears most certainly cuts a big figure in his general "get up." Mr. Nord is just back from the In- ternational Convention of Cutters and Designers held in New York last week, and he brings the interesting information that most men haven't the correct idea about dress. "You can have the finest suit on the market," he explains, "and, if your collar, cravat and shirt fail to harmon- ize with it, you might as well go down to your office in overalls, insofar as the impressiveness of your appearance is concerned. Harmony and 'color' are the important items." That's the sentiment of the cutters and designers who gathered several thousand strong from every section of the United States and Canada, and from the principal cities of England. In other words, one must have back- ground, in "building" (approved term) a suit correctly. High collars on short, thick necks or low collars on crane-like extensions have the effect of demoralizing the "lines" of a gar- ment. It's not merely the fit, but the general effect from the top of the head to the tip of the toe, that counts. That's the criterion in serving well- dressed men now-a-days. The latest in men's clothing? Two or three button suits with fairly wide lapels, roomy pockets and quite low, no vent, trousers wide and straight, with or without cuffs. General looseness of fit with tight effect over hips. Vests cut with round corners, medium high. Next fall's overcoats--straight back, straight vent, medium full fly front. Double breasted Chesterfield the vogue. Ulsters taboo. "I consider it a great honor to be a member of the Internatinal Coutters and Designers association," Mr. Nord said in commenting on the convention. "It is composed of the best artists in the tailoring business (he modestly excepts himself) and when I say artists, I mean just that for we re- gard building clothes as much of an art as building houses or bridges, painting pictures or modeling in clay, for we have always before us the 'deals of beauty, harmony and pro- portion."

WINNETKA-TRUST «® SAVINGS -BANK Elm Street at Center (4 3 i i -- s = en RATHBONE GETS JOBS FOR VETS Disabled Men Get Place on Patronage List Disabled veterans of the World War at Washington were heartened this week when Lieut. James O. Grubb of Chicago, one of their number, was ap- pointed to a patronage post at the Capitol building as guard, following a protest from their group that wounded soldiers were not receiving sufficient consideration in federal appointments. The appointment of Grubb, who was wounded and gassed in France during the first engagement in which troops of the Illinois National Guard division took part, was made at the insistence of Congressman-at-Large, Henry R. Rathbone of Kenilworth who found him jobless in Washington, unable to work at his trade of auto mechanic because of disabilities. The congressman first became ac- quainted with his protege in 1917, when he was president of the Hamilton Club and Grubb was working as doorman there. On the outbreak of war Grubb immediately enlisted in the 132nd In- fantry of Chicago, leaving a wife and two children, one of them but a day old. He was the first officer of his regiment to receive a wound, falling in the battle of Hamel on July 4, 1918, when Illinoisians became the first American troops to fight under the British flag since before the Revolu- tionary War. Grubb has a long record of military service, having served through the Spanish-American War, the Philip- pine insurrection and the U. S. Army from 1905 to 1914. He will be remem- bered by many veterans of the 33rd division as a former rifle instructor at Camp Logan, Texas, where he also! had an important part in putting down the race riots which greeted the divi- sion on its arrival there. Congressman Rathbone brought the supposed barrier against disabled soldiers at the Capitol to an abrupt end when he bundled Grubb into a taxi and took him before the patronage committee, asking for his immediate appointment. Grubb was assigned as a guard in a few days. P. S. COMPANY ADDS TO POWER CAPACITY The electric generating capacity of Joliet Station No. 9 of the Public Serv- ice company has been increased to 50,- 000 kilowatts by the addition of a 30,- 000 kilowatt General Electric company turbo-generator, which was placed in operation and connected to the system on January 23. In connection with this installation of the build- Ing was necessary. The additional equipment installed in- cluded four new boilers of approximate- ly 1,400 h. p. each; one 25,000 square foot surface condenser; two circulating pumps of 25000 gallons per minute capacity each; two hot well pumps of 750 gallons per minute each; a coal handling system and various other equip- ment. In the addition to the building there were required over fourteen hundred tons of structural steel, two thousand cubic yards of concrete, and approxi- mately one million brick. In the condenser 'there are 11,026 one inch brass tubes which, if placed end to end, would reach for a distance of thirty-eight miles. The tubes in each boiler which form 'the heating service if placed end to end would stretch for approximately four miles. The drums of these boilers weigh 32 tons each and are set forty feet above the boiler room floor and sixty-eight feet above the ground. ; The coal handling system consists of over seven hundred feet of belt con- an extension veyor together with a track hopper and breaker. The additional capacity made avail- able by this unit will be connected to the company's transmission system through various lines emanating from Joliet. It will be recalled that a new 33,000 volt wood pole line was constructed last fall between Joliet and Maywood. With the installation of this line there are five main trunk 33,000 volt transmission lines connecting Station No. 9 to the remain- ing part of the company's system, each of which is capable of carrying from five to ten thousand kilowatts. With this improvement the total gen- erating capacity of the Public Service plants is now practically 153,000 kilo- watts, including the new unit recently installed at Waukegan. "Nighthawks" Defeat Fast "Bright Lights" In a fast exhibition of the court game, the Kenilworth night gym class boys' team, the "Nighthawks," sprung a sur- prise on themselves last Saturday night by walloping the "Bright Spots," after- noon team, 17 to 10. "Cart" Thorsen starred for the victors while Johnny Cogswell and Bob Sweet split star honors on the losing five. A return game will be played next Saturday night when the "Bright Spots" say they will be out for dire vengeance. "Red" Howe, one of their 'best players, who has been sick, will be back in the lineup for that game. CHEAPER HOT WATER Agreement by gasfitters, plumbers and manufacturers to a standard hot water range boiler design, it is es- timated, will save $4 on each installa- tion, or $4,000,000 a year, with an ad- ditional fuel saving estimated at an- other $1,500,000 annually.
