32 WINNETKA TALK November 3, 1928 Syntax Book May Give Way to This Modern Grammar Grammar without long rules which must be memorized is probably the school boys' idea of paradise. And such a grammar, which treats English as a living tongue and not as page- after-page of "do's" and "don'ts," is now being written. It will probably take the place of the old-fashioned syntax book and may reorganize the study of English in American schools. For Equal Taxes Thomas D. Nash, dem- ocratic candidate for member of the Board of Review is running for office on a platform based hen an equalized tax rate for 1 For the past twelve years, Mr. Nash's opponent has been a member of the Board of Re- i During that time he has tly opposed tax reforms and the publication of tax lists and land value maps. Doubtless, you have fol- lowed the sworn testimony given before the Legislative Tax Com- mission concerning tax cuts. Much of the testimony has been illuminating as regards why taxes are cut. Recipients of tax cuts have testified before the commission that they donated coal, insurance business and campaign contributions to vari- ous members of the Board of Review. Tax valuations int Cook County were cut last year by more than $535,000,000. Cuts in Chicago's loop alone totaled more than $26,000,000 last year. Who pays for these cuts? Professor Herbert D. Simpson of Northwestern University states that the small home own- er pays while the wealthy prop- erty owner saves thousands of dollars. Thomas D. Nash is a suc- cessful lawyer. For many years he was a well known and re- spected alderman from Chicago's great south side. Mr. Nash solicits your vote November 6th with the promise that, if he is elected, there will be equal taxes for alk Dr. George Oliver Curme, professor of Germanic philology at Northwest- ern university, is the author of a three- volume English grammar which author- ities say will revolutionize the study of the American tongue. Dr. Cur- me's book grows from the study of American literature and his examples are taken from all literature. When there are several ways of punctuation or of sentence structure, Dr. Curme merely sets down the work of living writers whose style emphasizes the point. Idioms, colloquialisms, dialects found in America, and various pro- nunciations are all collected in the new A Personal Appeal to You from JOHN W. JARANOWSKI Republican Candidate for RECORDER OF DEEDS My dear Friends: I am writing to you directly in the interest of fair play and com- mon decency in political affairs in Cook County. Since my candidacy for Recorder of Deeds has been attacked on grounds which have no relationship to the Recorder's office, I ask you to consider the following facts: It is true and I plead guilty to having been born poor in the Calumet District. I plead guilty to the fact that my parents were foreign by birth, but intensely American by choice. I plead guilty to the fact that I have had to work with my hands and earn my living by the sweat of my brow. But I am not ashamed of the fact that every cent I have in this world 1 have had to earn in the school of hard knocks. I am proud of my friends and my neighbors and of the community in which I was born and live. It made me what I am, and I have been and will remain loyal to it. I have helped in its development, as it has helped me. I have se- cured for it roads and bridges and public improvements and made it a better place to live in. I am proud of the fact that the medical and dental clinic which I helped to establish for adults and kiddies in Calumet City has done a world of good. My community helped elect me a County Commissioner. On the County Board, I have tried to con- serve the taxpayer's money, and I have been especially solicitous for the small taxpayer. I have been for the budget system and been against illegal expenditures, no matter how powerful the influence behind them. It has made me enemies, something I had to ex- pect. As a candidate for County Recorder IT am the only candidate who has declared for civil service for all county employes. I am the only candidate who has de- clared for saving the taxpayers money by the consolidation or abol- ishing of offices of appointment in- stead of election of certain officers. I stand first and always for every taxpayer receiving 100 cents on the dollar for every dollar expended. I pledge you on my honor as a man that when elected Recorder, the office of Recorder of Deeds will be run on the basis of efficiency, economy and courtesy to the public, and that the profits therefrom will be sufficient to have a material effect in lowering taxation. On that platform I ask your vote for me for Recorder of Deeds. JOHN W. JARANOWSKI grammar. No attempt is made to say which is right or wrong, but every ef- fort is bent toward showing the stu- dent how the living language is being used. Dr. Curme's book was wanted by an English publishing house which in- sisted that the American speech be treated as a dialect and not as the English language. Dr. Curme refused to treat a language spoken by one hundred and twenty million people as a dialect and so the volumes will be published by Heath and company next spring. A German grammar, published in 1926 by Dr. Curme, is considered by German scholars as the best grammar for the student not a German by birth. The University of Heidelberg con- ferred the honorary degree of doctor of pihlosophy upon Dr. Curme when the book was published. Dr. Curme has been a member of the faculty at Northwestern university for thirty- nine years. VISITS AT ORION Mrs, J. H. Luensman of Northbrook, wife of Patrolman Luensman, of the Winnetka Police department, accom- panied by their small son, John Robert, left Monday morning for a three weeks' visit with her parents at Orion, [1l.

Anna Helga Hong to Prescribe Style for Coed in Clinic What shall 1 wear? That's the question which the mod- ern girl must answer if she is to be a success in either the social or the busi- ness world, says Miss Anna Helga Hong, professor of art at Northwest- ern university. Because clothes do make the modern woman, Miss Hong, working with the school of speech, is beginning a dress clinic this week. Northwestern women will attend the clinic in order that Miss Hong and her assistants may analyze their personality and suggest clothes that fit the girl. "Too many college girls wear the thing that's in style whether it's the thing which fits their character or not," says Miss Hong. "And dress diagnosis is as important as medical diagnosis if the modern woman would only believe it. "A woman sometimes has to decide if she prefers to look chic, smart and stylish or merely pretty. If she will pay particular attention to design she can secure almost any result, for theré are styles to remedy any defect. The too tall can shorten the length of the dress by dropping the neck line and wearing very short skirts. The too short can raise the neck line and lower the belt to make at least one normal space. The too slender can wear loose, fluffy, puffy, light things--and the too fat can wear very simple, straight lines and dark materials."
