Peterson, chief of the Win- netka police department and a grad- uate with years of experience in the matter of police work, is taking what might be termed a post graduate course in police administration at the University of Chicago, which is be- ing conducted by A. L. Dixon, head of: the national police system of Great Britain. Conducted by Briton The lectures began Tuesday. They are given at 11 o'clock on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays of each week and will continue for a period of four or five weeks. The gen- eral subject is "Police Administration." Professor Leonard D. White, head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago, in a letter to Village Manager H. IL. Woolhiser an- nouncing the coming of Mr. Dixon and requesting that the village of Win- netka send a representative of its police department, stated that from his contact with Mr. Dixon last sum- mer, he became convinced that he is an extremely competent man. Off to University In his invitation to the University of representatives of the police de- partments of some of the more pro- gressive cities of the middle west, Prof. White adds: "I believe it will be valuable for some of the most alert police officers in American cities to know something about police methods in a country which probably has the best police work in the world." Accordingly, Chief Peterson who is already a recognized leader in his line of work throughout this country, has been given the opportunity of attend- ing the Dixon lectures, and with in- terest akin to that of his former school days, is a regular attendant.

Thatcher, 379 Ridge avenue, not a fire call but to open a door. The maid had unfortunately locked herself out, and the baby in, and it was imperative that she gain admission. April opened with several small rubbish fires which kept the firemen busy, and on Wednesday evening they were called to the residence of S. Edwin Earle, 467 Linden avenue to either rescue a porter house steak which was blazing in the oven or ex- tinguish the fire. This fire, Chief Houren said, did not even warrant the use of the chemicals, but even Jack, the fire-house mascot, refused the remains.
