April 17, 1926 WINNETKA TALK BOOTH AT FAIR General and State Federation of Wom- an's Clubs Will Exhibit at Woman's World's Fair The General Federation of Women's clubs and the Illinois Federation of 'Women's clubs will occupy a booth, 20 by 22 feet, at the Woman's World's Fair to be held at the Furniture Mart, Erie and Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, April 17-24. The line drawn between the exhibit of the mother organization and that of Illinois is like a state line, purely imaginary. The Illinois Federa- tion going in with the General as one of her children is typical of the exhibit itself, which is to show through ma- terial things the spirit of the home. The booth will be furnished as an American home should be, practical, ecnomical and beautiful. It will show the spirit of what a home should be through beauty of color in fabrie, fur- niture chosen for artistic lines as well as for use, a fireplace for material and spiritual warmth and a dining room with linen and silver tastefully dis- played. This home is to symbolize the teaching of the General Federa- tion president. Mrs. John D. Sherman, that the home must draw into its arms, in fireside groups, the young people of today to offset present day temptations. Mrs. Martin Kent Nor- tham, of Evanston, and her committee, Mrs. A. Starr Best, Evanston and Mrs. Katherine Knowles Robbins, Chicago, have charge of the furnishings. Over the fireplace will be hung a General Federation banner and under- neath that an Illinois banner. Along the three sides of the railing will be a box enclosure for Federation litera- ture. There will be a table with two books for the registry of club mem- bers; one to find a permanent home among other valuable records at Gen- eral Federation Headquarters in Washington and the other in Illinois Federation Headquarters, 127 N. Dear- born street, Chicago. The Illinois Federation will be hostess each day and evening at the Federation booth. Districts are sched- uled as follows under chairmanship of Mrs. Albion L. Headburg, Chicago. Opening day, First district, presi- dent, Mrs. J. J. Worker; Monday, April 19, Third district, president, Mrs. Wal- lace B. Combs and Fourth district, president, Mrs. H. S.

ILLINOIS DEATH RATE LOW Records show that the adjusted death rate in Illinois, in 1923 was only 11.9 per 1,000 population as compared with 13.1 in California and 13.9 in Flor- ida, says a bulletin of the Illinois Cham- ber of Commerce. The death rate in Illinois is lower than in Maine, Massa- chusetts, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and a number of other States. 2 NEW TRIER TEACHER ILL Gordon Van Kirk, assistant dramatic coach at New Trier high school and a member of the English department has been seriously ill at the Evanston hos- pital this week. His illness resulted from infection which set in when a tooth was pulled last week. He was reported on the road to recovery late this week. Record Made a Verdict Rendered Here is a record to make you pause: 70,599 Dodge Brothers Motor Cars and Graham Brothers Trucks sold inthe United States from January 2nd to April 3rd, 1926! The greatest quarter in the company's history. 37 per cent greater than the same period last year, when 51,318 units were sold. - This record was a foregone conclusion. Since the first of the year demand in- creased week by week. Each period showed greater sales than the one pre- ceding and greater than the same period of 1925. During the last week recorded, ending April 3rd, 9104 units were sold, against 6530 for the best week last year--a gain of 39 per cent. Sales figures are an index to the buyer's preference. Buyer's preference, these days, springs from clean-cut convictions on quality and comparative worth, penny for penny. Although the peak of the selling season has not yet been reached, the verdict has already been rendered.
