me -- In Which George Goes Astrawing and Sayeth Naught Winnetkans who are inclined to risk their hard earned savings on such little uncertainties as the well known pasteboards, the gamboling golf ball, bob-tailed ponies and--elections, will do well to consult George Irons, man- about-town, ere they wax too confid- ent regarding the outcome of next Tuesday's village balloting. George, we are reliably informed, is engaged in the interesting task of taking a straw vote on the forthcom- ing civil warfare at the polls. To date he has arrived at the conclusion that we are in for an old-fashioned battle that is to give the local poli- tical hangers-on something to talk about for years to come. "How are the straws?" inquired one of our village officials, yesterday, as he encountered George in the act of canvassing some prominent business men. "Well, it looks like an election, " was George's preoccupied reply. "Sorry, old man, but I'm awfully busy." "What's the low-down?" pressed the curious one, jingling some silver against the keys in his pockets. "Lots of votes for the Pro-Caucus crowd," said George in his character- istic drawl." "Oh, boy, is that a hot tip," shouted the inquisitive coin jingler. And lots of votes for the Tax Payers, too," ventured George as he hastened across the street to catch an- other straw. MEASLES STORY BRINGS AN OFFICIAL APOLOGY An official apology from village offi- cials has been made to someone name unpublished, who was accused, recently, of allowing his child to attend school while suffering from measles, thus start- ing a small epidemic. The name of the person was never mentioned in the Wix- NETKA TALx and a correc.ion of the story, which came from a village offi- cial, has been printed. The following is a statement issued this week. "Injustice was recently done a citi- zen of Winnetka by a widely circu- lated report that he had wilfully ex- posed pupils of a local school to measles by taking to the school a child displaying marked symptoms of the disease. We have made a thor- ough -investigation of the circum- stances and have ascertained the facts. The report was untrue. He did not take the child to the school, nor permit it to go there, after it showed distinguishable symptoms of measles. In our opinion he took every proper precaution and did nothing to. justify the criticism to which he has been subjected. MARY A. LANGWORTHY, chairman, committee on Health and Safety of the Council of the Village of Winnetka. JOHN S. MILLER, president of the Village of Winnetka." Mr. and Mrs. George K. Spencer of Oconomowoc, Wis, former residents here, spent last week-end as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Hindrum, 514 Oak street.

'LADY OF QUALITY' IS COMMUNITY HOUSE FILM "A Lady of Quality, from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, has been selected as the feature picture of next Tuesday's performances at Com- munity House.

The featured player of "A Lady of Quality" is Virginia Valli, and many of the readers of the Frances Hodgson Officers and Directors HENRY R. HALE President L. B.

The male lead is taken by Milton Sills who is said to look very strong and firm in the role of a gentlemen and soldier of the year 1700. Mr. Sills attracted considerable attention for his work in "The Sea Hawk," which was quite generally conceded to be one of the best pic- tures of 1924. Friday, April 10, being Good Friday, there will be no motion pictures at Community House. The following Friday and Saturday will witness the howing of "Captain Blood" which is a story of pirate adventure from the ee \ \ pen of Rafael Sabatini.
