EST. 1850 CHICAGO 28E NEW YORK . Winnetka League of Women Voters Commander Richard E. Byrd, lec- turing at Orchestra hall in Chicago on Wednesday, January 25, under the auspices of the Illinois League of Women Voters, will tell the story of his flight across the Atlantic and will outline his plans for the excursion which he is soon to make to the south pole. As this is to be Byrd's only public appearance in Chicago and as word has been received from his manager that the noted explorer and flyer will not be available again for at least two vears, it is considered probable that a capacity audience will be on hand to greet him, among whom will doubt- less be many local people. Heavy Ticket Sale Mrs. Francis Lackner, chairman of the committee handling the sale of tickets for the lecture, reports that they are going rapidly. At the Uni- versity club in Chicago, where Mr. Byrd is making a private appearance, it was also reported this week that reservations are now closed and that there is a waiting list of more than The INFANTS' WEAR-- The Leonard Shoppe is so conveniently located, the stock is so complete, and the prices are so reasonable, that you cannot afford to do your shopping elsewhere.

Pays Tribute to Byrd Dr. David Kinley, president of the University of Illinois, recently paid a glowing tribute to Commander Byrd when he said: "Three thoughts come to my mind as I review Commander Byrd's achievements. First is the im- portance of the additions made by him to the World's geographical knowledge. Second, the splendid courage shown by him in the arduous things he has undertaken. Third, and perhaps most important, is the great spirit of inquiry which has led him to try to penetrate the unknown and thereby keep alive the spirit among men that insists upon knowing the universe more completely. It is the spirit of the pioneer, of the adventurer, of the research scholar--the spirit of progress." Speaks at Conference Mrs. A. Montague Ferry, first vice president of the Winnetka League of Women Voters, attended a conference of Citizenship schools on Tuesday in the Illinois League office. She spoke on the subject of "Mechanical De- tails" necessary for successful schools.
