- December 11, 1926 3 WINNETKA TALK MA = M------ --t LOCAL HOCKEY STARS | ~ MAKE ALL-AMERICAN Mrs. Lewis Taylor and Miss Peggy Waidner Win Places on Mythical Honor Squad The Winnetka Hockey team will fin- ish the current season of activity with a list of successful games, several of its members on the Mid-West hockey team, and one of its members, Mrs. Lewis Taylor, of 530 Temple court, Kenilworth, chosen as the goal on the All-American, or United States Wom- en's Hockey team. Another member, Miss Peggy Waidner, of 206 Scott ave- nue, Glencoe, has been honored by being chosen as the first reserve, or substitute on the All-American team. The Mid-West team journeyed to Baltimore a week ago, and demon- strated good plaving against veteran sectional teams. They first played the South-East team, composed of mem- hers from Philadelphia and Baltimore. This team. which had practiced to- gether before, defeated the Mid-West team by a score of 6-2. Then follow- ing the game between the South-East team, and the North-East team, com- posed of members from New York, Boston and Fairchester, the Mid-West group defeated the North-East team 5-1. Four Make All-American After this series of games, which demonstrated that the Mid-West team needed practice, but showed up ex- ceptionally well considering that they had played together but little, the All- American team was chosen. The re- sults of the choice showed the strength nf the Mid-West group, for there were four from the Mid-West chosen for either first team or reserve positions on the national team. The United States team played Miss Roberts' team of English coaches and defeated them 3-1, the first time this has ever been accomplished in the United States or England. Miss Carol Rice of the Madison Yellow-Jacket team shot two of the goals, and Miss Peggy Waidner of Winnetka, who played wing for the first time, shot one of the goals. 2 It so happened that the Winnetka representatives met one of their former colleagues who now is plaving with the North-East team, Miss Marion Montgomery of Greed Bay road, Winnetka, who was honored by being chosen as a.reserve on the All- American team. Miss Montgomery is taking graduate work at Columbia uni- versity. - Plan Game Today The final game for the Winnetka team will take place, weather permit- ting, Saturday, December 11, 'on the North Shore Country Day school field, to decide the championship of Chicago. The game will be played with the Mid- 'Way team of Chicago, at 10:30 o'clock, Saturday morning.

PASSES 99TH YEAR Francis N. Markley, Father of J. C. Markley, Approaches Last Mile- stone on Road to Century Mark To have lived to the age of 99 years, to be in fine health, to have read fif- teen volumes of American history during the last year, and to have lived through the strenuous times of four wars, is the record of Francis N. Markley, who is at present making his home with Joseph C. Markléy of 777 Burr avenue, Winnetka. _ Mr. Markley was born -in- York county, Pa., December 8, "1827, and spent his boyhood in Wheeling, Pa. When he was still a boy, the roving spirit entered his blood, and together with a chum, hiked from his home to Springfield, Ohio. And in those days there wasn't any such thing as "get- ting a lift" in an automobile. You hiked, or you stayed home. Mr. Markley feels that maybe his eyesight isn't as good as it should be, but when it was discovered that through his intense interest in Ameri- can history he has read carefully through fifteen volumes of the latest word on that 'subject during the last year, it was felt that after all his eyesight was serving him' quite 'well. As is customary, his birthday was celebrated with a family reunion Wed- nesday, December 8, at the home of a relative in Evanston. Twe sons, two daughters, and four great-great grand- children attended this annual party. His two sons are John Markley of Logansport, Ind, with whom Mr. Markley sometimes makes his home, Joseph C. Markley of Winnetka, and two daughters, Mrs. Willham H. Graffis sod Mrs. Elliot James of Ottumwa, a. ELECT STAR OFFICERS Winnetka Chapter, No. 942, Order of Eastern Star, will meet in regular session at 7:30 o'clock Monday eve- ning, December 13, in the Winnetka Masonic temple. The annual election of officers will be the principal feature of the evening. Annual reports will be given by the worthy matron, treasurer, and secretary. All members are asked to be in attendance. ~~ on a LITTLE SYMPHONY HAS NEW CONCERT MASTER Herman Felber, Brilliant Young Violinist, Will Appear Monday | Night as Formal Soloist George Dasch and his forty-five players will bring a program of uns usual interest to New Trier High school Monday evening, December 13 under auspices of the Néw Trier Or chestral ~ association. Of interest id the appearance, as formal soloist, of Herman Felber, violinist and the new concert master of the orchestra. Mr: Felber has chosen for performance the concerto in D Minor, by Max Bruch; one of the most difficult but most grateful of violin works. The orches- tra, under Mr. Dasch's direction, will provide Mr. Felber's accompaniment. Mr. Felber is regarded as one of the most brilliant figures among the younger generation of violinists. He entered the ranks of the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra as one of the young- est members in the history of that or- ganization and, after five years among the first violins, became a member of the famous Berkshire string quartet, sponsored by Mrs. Coolidge. During the World war he was conductor of the band and orchestra aboard the U. S. S. George Washington, the ship upon which President Wilson made his European trips. At this time he also organized the Great Lakes String quartet, which later made several trans-continental tours. This quartet is now known as the Chicago String quartet. The Program The complete program for Monday's concert is as follows: Overture-Fantasia, "Romeo and Juliet" ..Tschaikowsky Cencerto No. 2, D Minor, Opus 44, for Violin and Orchestra Adagio ma non troppo ......Bruch Recitative Finale: Allegro molto Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1, F next MAjJOr -- ..uiu- vessnnvsnsss esas Liszt Waltz, "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" .. oir sinpreis J. Strauss Two Slavonic Dances, Opus 46 Dvorak Allegretto Scherzando Presto Electrical Inspection Boosts Scale on Permits In order to cover the cost of all electrical inspections which are now being made by A. B. Krieg, building inspector, the Village council Tuesday evening amended the building code providing for an increase in the build- ing permit fees. Formerly these fees were $2, up to and including $1,000 valuation, and $1 for each additional thousand dollars. The new schedule provides for a fee of $3, up to and including $1,000, and $150 for each additional thousand dollars. : For instance, under the former rate, the fee on a $20,000 house would have been $21, while under the new rate it is $31.50. Police Warn Children Against "Hitching on" There is an ordinance prohibiting the practice of hitching sleds to vehicles in the streets. It is a dangerous practice prevalent at this and other times of the winter when the snow-covered streets are so tempting to the young- sters to thus get a fine ride. But to do so, the police warn that one not only is violating an ordinance, but is doing still greater harm, by placing oneself lin splendid position to be killed.
