Dur- ing the business session, letters were read from the church missionaries, and in response to a plea from Mrs. Reyn- olds of China, it was proposed to start a class at once in the making of sur- gical dressings to meet the needs of hospital work in that country. Both missionary families expressed deep ap- preciation for the thoughtful gifts in the Christmas boxes sent them from the church. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are expecting to leave China in April and to be here in June for their first, furlough. May 4 and 5 were the dates an- nounced for the White Elephant sale. Articles of all kinds are being solicited to meet the requests coming to Mrs. Ayres Boal and her committee, Mrs. David Lasier is to have charge of a gift table and asks for contribu- tions of new articles from each mem- ber of the society. Mrs. J. O. Ely had charge of the de- votional moments. After luncheon Paul Rowland gave an interesting address on the work in the American colleges in the Near East, showing slides to illustrate the pros- perous conditions in these schools, their attractive locations and the cos- mopolitan character of their students. Representatives from twenty nations are in attendance at Roberts college. At Beirut, nineteen nationalities are found among the students. The medi- cal school at Beirut is receiving help from the Rockefeller foundation be- cause of the high standards of its work. The school at Smayrna is in a rich agricultural district, and is located in the charming valley where Homer wrote his "Iliad." In Bulgaria the college at Samakov has three hundred students. Plans have been laid for a great school there and as it is possible to secure means, the buildings will be erected. The young people are especially capable and energetic. The fifth school is the Woman's col- lege at Constantinople, not far from Roberts college. It has magnificent buildings, far beyond those of any other American college abroad, Mr. Rowland stated. English is the language used in all these schools. Athens, Greece is to have a new American college, he announced. Is your Coal Bin Empty?

The fez is discarded for the soft felt hat, the women are unveiled and mod- ern dress is even commanded for them, while European food is recommended and schools opened to teach its prep- aration. A modern newspaper pub- lished in Mecca was perhaps the most startling evidence he gave of the ad- vance of civilization. ; Mr. Rowland spoke with authority, having until recently been connected with the American college in Bulgaria and having lived in the Near East many years. Northbrook Will Vote on Band Tax April 19 Northbrook, not to be outdone by her sister villages along the north shore, will also vote on the proposition to take advantage of the law permit- ting villages to levy a tax not to exceed two mills for the maintenance of a municipal band. Northbrook has been growing so rapidly in recent years, that she has now reached proportions of an up-to- date, thriving village and R. Lauer, president, feels that the band would be a valuable adjunct to aid in making complete the pleasures of the commun- ity life. The Northbrook village election will be held Tuesday, April 19, and Presi- dent Lauer says he believes the band proposition will carry by a good ma- jority. North Shore Window and House Cleaning Co.
