February 25, 1928 WINNETKA TALK RESIDENTS INVITED TO TUESDAY LENTEN TALKS Rev. James A. Richards Begins Lectures on "Religious Life and Psychology" Tuesday morning, February 21, under the general subject, "The Re- ligious Life and Psychology," the Rev. James Austin Richards, minister ot the Winnetka Congregational church, began his annual series of Lenten lec- tures which are annually enjoyed and appreciated by many members of the community. The talks promise to be of unusual interest this year for they deal with a subject constantly dis- cussed and one about which so many different opinions are held. In order to understand the speaker and the thought he wishes to develop it will be of great advantage to attend the lectures as regularly as possible, it is explained. Anyone in the com- munity is welcome. The place of meeting is the Neighborhood room in Community House and the dates as follows: Tuesday mornings, February 28, March 6, March 20, March 27. There will be no lecture on March 13. The talks begin promptly at 10 o'clock and continue just an hour. Psychology Much Exploited "In the first of his five talks on re- ligion and some current ideas in psy- chology," reads a comment by one of his listeners, "Mr. Richards pre- sented the foundation and background of his topic by discussing various con- cepts of modern psychology. His defi- nitions and reservations did much to clarify and set in order the very hazy ideas which most of us have about this fascinating and much discussed sub- ject. A word of caution was very timely in approaching this very young science about which so little is yet reallv known. Great opportunity is afforded the unscrupulous practitioner for exploitation, and there are so many false and unfortunate ideas abroad as to just what psychology is that a little knowledge can prove a cruelly dangerous thing Mr. Richards spoke of the interpretation of dreams, that popular catch-phrase, as being unwise in the extreme unless practiced by a trained psychologist as part of a co-total study of the whole life history of the case. He referred to various false assumptions in regard to certain schools of psychological thought and regretted the use of terms which are not at all intended to convey the meanings and implications they often seem to. To be a psychologist is not necessarily to roll in the mire. Can Make for Fine Living "He paid a high tribute to the band of conscientious and scientific experi- menters and practitioners who, in spite of great differences of opinion in re- gard to even the fundamental concepts of the science, are proving to the world that psychology offers a technique of living far too precious to neglect. This technique, when it adds to itself the practice of religion, can bring the art of living to its finest and best. "Understanding oneself is the first principle in living the worthwhile life. Mr. Richards considered the child at birth with an equipment of instincts but no consciousness of self. As that awareness arises there begins the ad- justment to environment, and how successfully we are able to make that adjustment determines our ability to live an effective life. Not only is our conscious life involved but that great field of the subconscious, the recogni- tion of which is the master contribu- tion of modern psychology. The de- bate about certain aspects and con- cepts of this subconscious self can be let go as far as normal living is con- cerned, but we must recognize that we are in the hands of more than we know.

Miss Frances Ber- kova, violinist, who was to have appeared as soloist on this program, was prevented from doing so because of ex- tended engagements in Pacific Coast cities. Nina Babcock Bailey, pi- anist and supervisor of mu- sic at the Country Day school in Winnetka, will be the soloist at the Young Peo- ple's matinee concert Thurs- day afternoon in the New Trier auditorium. The sponsors of the Little Symphony orchestra pro- grams count themselves as singularly fortunate in hav- ing secured Mr. Rabinof for next Thursday's concert. He has been hailed by leading critics throughout the coun- try as a true master of the violin. "What makes him in- teresting and important," says one critic, "is an acutely sensitive feeling for the in- Benno Rabinof beautifully and with uncanny technical finish." Miss Bailey has been popular with north : eve: years and her appearance as soloist on the matinee program 1s occasioning Christ Church in Midst of Lenten Season Observance "Man's Judgment on Himself" will be the subject of the sermon given by the Rev.

Alschuler NEGRO WHO ASSAULTED NURSE HERE, CAPTURED Six Months Search for Malachi Crowe Ends with His Arrest in Kansas City Malachi Crowe, the Negro ex-con- vict for whom a nation-wide search has been underway since last summer when at the residence of Merrit B. Austin, 350 Elder lane, Winnetka, Crowe brutally assaulted Miss Ruth Sampson, a white nurse, residing at 4530 North Racine avenue, Chicago, was arrested in Kansas City, Kansas, Wednesday and the following day re- turned to Chicago, where he has been indicted by the grand jury. The $1,000 reward tor Crowe's ars rest, $1,000 of which was offered by the Chicago Daily Tribune and $600 by the Village ot Winnetka, will go to Sergeants William Roe and Walter Storms of the Chicago detective bu- reau, who located Crowe and brought about his arrest. He was employed as a servant at the home of Jay V. Holmes, a prominent attorney of Kan- sas City, under the name of Robert Brown, one of Crowe's aliases. Last summer, while the Austin fam- ily was away from home, Crowe, by phone, in response to Miss Sampson's advertisement in the Tribune for a position as trained nurse, called her to the Elder lane residence. She was taken to the third floor of the building by Crowe and assaulted. Escaping from him she leaped from a window, sustaining a fractured skull, from which, however, she has since re- covered. Search Never Halted Meantime, the search for Crowe has never ceased. He says he remained in Chicago two weeks before leaving for Kansas City, and at one time, before departing for the west, was at the home of a friend on the South side, when an officer from Winnetka, whe had a tip that Crowe might be there, appeared at the front door. Crowe says he escaped through a rear door. The news that Crowe had finally been apprehended was one of the most gratifying pieces of information that Chief of Police W. M. Peterson and all the other members of the Winnetka Police department have received in a long time.
