Await Officials' Report py - on Light Plant Question The question of whether to install additional generating equipment at the municipal lighting plant or to make an emergency connection with the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois came before members of the Village council at the meeting Tues- day evening.

Confucianism Next Discussion Topic For Sunday Group Mrs. Ayer McKinney will address the Winnetka Sunday Evening club at its meeting in the Camp Fire room in Community House Sunday, October 25, on the subject, and all young people in the village are invited to attend. Last Sunday the club heard a lec-|| ture on the "Baha'i Movement Toward || World Unity," given by Albert R. Vail, who is associated with the Baha'i || temple project in Wilmette. Mr. Vail brought out the point that the Baha'i faith seeks to build upon || the best in all the great religions of |! the world, making use of the inspired writings of all the great prophets. He emphasized that fact that many of the commandments in the Sermon on the Mount are also to be found in the writings of Confucius, Mohammed, Buddha and other prophets. The Baha'i faith, he asserted, unites all denominations and creeds in common worship and in service and at the same time permits its adherents to belong to and attend the churches of their choice. Its work, he assured the club members, does not duplicate that of any other church, but is sup- plementary. HELP GIRLS' SCHOOL Bridge Party at W. H. Nicholls Home to Benefit Park Ridge School for Girls; Work is Described Wednesday afternoon, November 4, at 2 o'clock, a bridge party will be given at the home of Mrs. William H. Nicholls, 660 Pine street, for the benefit of the Park Ridge School for Girls. This is one of a number of card parties which are being given in the north shore towns for the benefit of this institution. Girls of the Park Ridge school are dependent, but not delinquent. They are taught all branches of housekeep- ing, and the work in the cottages is done by the girls who live there. There is a school on the grounds which carries the girls through the eighth grade, and then they attend the Park Ridge high school. The parent or guardian of each girl is asked to pay as much as he is able toward her expenses, but, as it costs the school $30 a month for each girl, it leaves a substantial amount to be raised to care for the 160 girls who live there. Some years ago the Chicago Wom- an's club built and equipped a cottage which will care for 23 girls. To avoid the necessity of raising money for its maintenance every year, the commit- tee last year started raising a fund of $16,000 with which to endow the cottage. The fund is now more than half raised, and it is hoped that this benefit will add a substantial amount to the fund. The women in Winnetka who are working for the success of this card party are Mrs. George S. Parker, chairman; Mrs. Percy W. Bradstreet, Mrs. Edward S. Rogers, Mrs. John R. Montgomery, Mrs. Frank R. Greene and Mrs. Arthur R. Dean. Anyone who wishes to engage a table is asked to apply to any member of the com- mittee. Skokie School Principal Addresses Teachers' Meet W. W. Beatty, principal of the Sko- kie school, left Wednesday of this veek for the East, where he is to speak at the fall meeting of the Con- necticut State Teachers' association. The association is holding meetings in New Haven and Bridgeport, Conn, and Mr. Beatty will give addresses at both places. He will return the first of the week. "Confucianism." | | Supper will be served at 6:30 o'clock || Talks to Our Men rr Lucius Teter, president of the Chica- go Trust Company, has been secured to speak at the first meeting of the Winnetka Men's club. Every man in Winnetka is invited to hear him next Thursday evening at Community House. Guild Rummage Sale Will Display a Wide Assortment of Goods The women of Christ church, Win- netka, are planning to hold a rum- mage sale Wednesday, November 4, from 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 in the evening in the Parish House. A very inclusive collection of articles is to be on sale at this time and rare bargains are to be available. There will be an abundance of men's, women's, and children's warm winter clothing, shoes and hats. An excellent opportunity will be afforded to out- fit families for the long cold season. Household goods consisting of furni- ture, kitchen ware, lamps, dishes and bric-a-brac will also be on sale and these articles will range from the artistic and beautiful to the practical and useful standbys which every fami- ly needs. Mrs. Frank Fulton, 884 Hill road, is the chairman of the transportation committee and will arrange to have any articles, which anyone may be willing to contribute, called for and stored. Articles may be left at the garages of the following persons: Mrs. Victor Elting, 830 Mt. Pleasant court; Mrs. James Prindiville, 151 Euclid avenue; Mrs. Frank Fulton, 884 Hill road; Mrs. C. S. Jackson, 1195 Asbury avenue; Mrs. B. K. Smith, 547 Orchard lane. The proceeds of the sale will be devoted to the many de- serving local charities, which seek the assistance of Christ Church Guild. Wants Byron Renamed As Appeals' Board Member Robert L. Kingery, chairman of the Winnetka board of appeals, recom- mended to the council Tuesday eve- ning that Charles L. Byron, member of the board of appeals whose term expired in September of this year, be reappointed for a five-years' term. Mr. Byron served on the zoning com- mission which prepared the original zoning ordinance. The matter was taken under consideration by the council.

ELECT EDWARD LEWIS COMMANDER OF LEGION Chosen at Annual Ballot of Win- netka Post This Week; Bry- ant is First Vice-Commander At the annual election held Tuesday evening of this week, at Community House, Edward R. Lewis, 1138 Hamp- tondale road, was elected commander of the Winnetka post of the American Legion for the coming year. He will succeed Thomas J. Lynch, who has occupied that position for the past two years. Others elected to office were as follows: Robert A. Bryant, first vice-commander; Arthur C. F. Gedge, second vice-president; A. L. McNamara, adjutant; Robert Hofler, second adjutant; Edwin Hale, finance officer; Eugene Greco, sergeant-at- arms; Marcus B. Richard, service officer: Frederick O. Mason, historian. There was no opposition to the winning ticket, in spite of rumors to the contrary which had circulated in the village the preceding week. A very large number turned out for the election. Installation Armistice Night The new officers will be installed at the annual Armistice night dinner which will be held at Wheeling this vear. Another feature of the dinner this year wil be the presentation of badges to all past commanders of the post. Those who will get badges are R. W. Hardenburgh, Jacob M. Dick- inson, Jr., Harold W. Snell and Irving Odell. Thomas J. Lynch, who has just ended two years as commander of the post, received his badge last year. Following his election Mr. Lewis made an address in which he com- plimented the "smiling work of Com- mander Lynch." He said that he felt he could not have taken the command at a better time in view of the work which the post is doing for disabled veterans at the Great Lakes hospital and other matters which will come up in the near future. Big Membership Increase Reports on the finances of the post which were read at the meeting showed "that the organization was in better financial condition than ever before in its history. In 1923 the post was $850 in debt, whereas at the present time it has in the gen- eral fund and $1,800 in the special service fund. The membership has increased from 113 in 1923 to 214 at the present time. Thirty-five national bonus claims and 26 state bonus claims were handled during the past year. Fifteen ex- service men were aided by the post at a cost of $170 and one boy, the son of a. legion member was placed in adoption. Besides all the work done the post had a year of enjoyable social events and staged one of the largest theatrical productions ever held in the village. Offer Pupils Special Instruction in Music Instruction during school hours in brass and wood wind instruments, violin, mandolin, banjo and guitar is announced by the Skokie school this week. There will be three or four lessons a week for those who take up the work. There is a two-fold object in offering these courses at the school, according to W. W. Beatty, principal. The greater number of lessons each week, he explained, would make it easier for the pupil to learn, and by .| arrangements with the instructors for a large number of lessons the charges will be much less than would other- wise be in effect for outside individual lessons. School authorities are also discussing instruction in piano and 'cello. ;
