Ho WINNETKA TALK November 5. 1927 D. A. R. Chapter Packs Box for Ellis Island I'he Skokie Valley chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution is | packing a box to be sent to its repre- | sentative at Ellis Island and will be] glad to have donations of any stamped article ready for embroidering, any yarns or old sweaters which can be ravelled and any pieces of cotton goods, preferably not less than one yard in length. If anyone has something to add to the box will she either give them to Mrs. Edwin Hedrick, 304 Melrose Kenilworth 1725. The report of the work on Ellis Island tells of the excel- lent work done with imigrants detained on the island, ignorant, unable to speak our language, and not knowing what it is all about. The men are given weaving and tailoring and the women fancy work and sewing of all kinds and they are allowed to keep the articles when finished. It helps to pass many a restless hour and has proven of great benefit.

OWNERSHIP "THE first prehistoric man to become a man- ufacturer owned his own tools--rough instruments of flint made with his own hands. As industry and crude tools gave way to more costly and more com- plex machinery, men scpa- rated themselves intogroups --owners of tools and users of tools. Out of this sepa- ration grew industrial prob- lems, and in their solution, the trend has been toward a wider ownership of the tools of industry by those who use them. ~ Industry's most useful tool in America, the tele- phone, is owned by the public. Bell System securi- developed ties are distributed among 800,000 investors. The stock of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is held by more than 420,000 owners, and no individual owns as much as 1%. this nationwide ownership of nationwide facilities, the tool owner and tool user are identical.

Winberg, the druggist at Fourth street and Linden avenue Wil- mette, accompanied by Mrs. Winberg and their son, William, drove to Cul- Ind., last Saturday where they had the pleasure of witnessing the de- feat of the Culver Military Academy football team at the hands of the Kemper Military academy team, of Booneville, Mo., in which their son, Howard, played a prominent part. The score was 13 to 0, and both touchdowns by the Kemper team were made by Winberg, Kemper's now famous fullback. His team has not lost a game this season and Winberg has scored fourteen of the touchdowns made in the five games played. A touchdown by Winberg on the kickoff featured the Culver game last Saturday, when the fleet-footed line- plunging fullback from Kemper ran 95 yards for the counter. His line- plunging and excellent team support scored the first touchdown in the game and the air-tight defense of the Booneville visitors prevented the strong Culver aggregation from once reaching the goal. The Kemper team journeyed to Cul- ver in a special Pullman coach, but Howard returned wtih his parents and brother, by auto, to Wilmette and joined his teammates early Sunday morning in Chicago, on their return home.
