He gives a recital at the New Trier High school -audi- torium Monday, November 8, at 8:30 o'clock in the evening. In the musical world there are only about six people who can fill the audi- torium and Tito Schipa is one of that glorious company, which is another way of telling people how fine this artist is, and how important it is to send your check at once to Mrs. Bessie Grant, Winnetka State bank, Win- netka. You do not want to miss hearing Schipa or any of the other splendid concerts in this artist-rjecital series sponsored by the Winnetka Music club R. C.

Wilmette 3842 | rows ES ENR EEEENRNE SEEN WOULD AID MOTHERS Boutell, Candidate for President of County Board, Scores Cermack as Negligent Official Five hundred poor mothers and at least 1,200 helpless children are suffer- ing because Anton J. Cermak as presi- dent of the County board was so busy at the last session of the legislature getting bills through that would en- able the construction of a $7,500,000 |jail and courthouse in his home ward that he had little time to take care of these unfortunates. This is the direct charge made by Alderman Francis L. Boutell, Chicago, Republican candidate for president of the County board. "Illinois was the first state in 1911 to pass a Mothers' Pension Law," as- serts Mr. Boutell. "It was a great humanitarian measure to prevent little children from being taken away from their worthy mothers and placed in in- stitutions. A mother with one child is entitled to $25 a month and $15 a month for each additional child. In 1919 an amendment to the law allowed a tax of 4-10 mill on each dollar of property valuation to maintain the fund. "When the present Democratic President of the Democratic controlled County board took office as president in December, 1922, the available fund lfor the payment of mothers' pensions |was so inadequate that there were 1,500 mothers caring for 2,500 children | whose cases could not even be in- | vestigated because there was no money to pay the additional pensions. "The responsibility for providing adequate funds for mothers' pensions rests squarely on the shoulders of the County board. Yet during the 1925 ses- sion of the legislature the present head of the County board did nothing to re- lieve this intolerable situation. "If IT am elected president of the County board I will marshal the public spirited citizens of Chicago and we will go down to Springfield in Jan- uary. We will let the legislature know that it is necessary to provide sufficient funds to insure a square deal for the poor mothers and the helpless chil- dren who are entitled to help under the law but are not receiving its benefit."
