y 0% September 25, 1926 WINNETKA TALK POSTMASTERS CONFER Meet at Luncheon With Heads of Other Government Bureaus in Great Northern Hotel Thirty-five postmasters from the fifteen counties comprising the Chi- cago Federal Business Association zone in which the villages of Wilmette, Winnetka and Glencoe are included, attended a business meeting and lunch- eon held by the association at the Great Northern hotel, Wednesday of last week. This is known as the seventh area and there were present at the recent meeting more than one hundred gov- ernment officials, including, besides the postmasters, representatives of the various functioning bureaus in the dis- trict. This was the first time the postmasters have met with the other bureaus of the association. Wilmette was represented by Postmaster Joseph E. Shantz; Winnetka by Postmaster Elmer E. Adams and Glencoe by Postmaster Percy W. Armstrong. The counties included in this area are Cook, Lake, McHenry, Boone, Winnebago, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Will, Grundy, Du- Page, Livingston and Kankakee in Illinois and Lake and Porter counties in Indiana. The United States is divided into seven co-ordinating areas, in each one of which is stationed a representative of the Chief Co-ordinator, designated as Area Co-ordinator. The Area Co- ordinators act as the Chief Co- ordinator's field deputies, in the Co-ordination of the various rou- tine business activities of the Fed- eral Government in their areas, to effect economies and greater efficiency by securing harmonious co-operation of departmental field agencies in trans- actions in which two or more depart- ments are concerned, such as inter- departmental transfers of property, ex- change of services, economical utiliza- tion of government owned buildings, transportation and stocks, and to rec- ommend to the Chief Co-ordinator such measures within administrative control as in the opinion of the Area Co-or- dinator will effect greater economy and increased efficiency. North Shore Boy Leads in Intelligence Test Of 800 freshmen who have just tak- en mental alertness tests at North- western university's College of Liberal Arts, two young men were the leaders and both were only 15 years of age. One was Charles W. Mac Sherry of Wilmette, a graduate of Loyola Acad- emy, and the other was Louis Werner of Senn High School, Chicago. Among the ten who led in this rather difficult test, seven were men and three were women. According to Director of Personnel Delton T. Howard, mental alertness tests for the entering class at North- western are employed merely as a means of enabling advisers and in- structors to render the best service to individual students. "Exceptionally bright students merit special treatment," he said "and those who are dull or slow must also have consideration. Northwestern's general intelligence scores will assist greatly in placing students in courses and sec- tions where they can work to best ad- vantage." Charles W. Mac Sherry, Wilmette, who is younger than Louis Werner, of Chicago, by two months, was a leader although Mr. Werner's score was on a general par with Mr. Mac Sherry's. Both had excellent high school records. Miss Frances Ranney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Royal W. Ranney, 1011 Oak street, will enter her sophomore year at Smith college. She left last week for Northampton, Mass. nnouncing the Arrival of Nel Fall 11KkS.. HE new fall silks are here--weaves of irresistible beauty. Velvets are important. Gorgeous brocades and gold and silver cloth add resplendence to the array. Satin-back crepes, cantons, flat crepes and georgettes appear in a pro- fusion of new autumn shades. It is a colorful season and by their color- ings the new silks are recognized. They are not just the reds, blue and greens of other days, but shades of newer and more exotic hues than have ever been shown before. Combinations are the vogue and the woman of artistic bent will take keen delight in combining col- ors into creations of subtle harmony and striking contrast. EDGAR A,STEVENS. INC.
