WIHIA PARK PENING WAS 'LEASING EVENT eat Crowds Thronged the >opuUr Park at Initial Performance of the Season Saturday, EASED WITH INNOVATION Jicago Symphony Orchestra Will IRemain for Ten Weeks, Which Insures Large Audiences During Entire Season, Sslf By Walter Allen 8tulta. ItIic opening concert of the present ivinia season may safely be said to Ue been one of the moat successful litlal programs that has been given the park since its completion. The i)wers that be have this year made decided innovation in engaging the Ihicago Symphony orchestra under rederick Stock for the entire season ten weeks. Notwithstanding the f-ytng season through which they have ist passed, Mr. Stock's players were good trim and gave of their beat, to ie evident delight of the huge audl- ice. There were in the neighborhood of 000 people present, constituting one the largest, if not the largest audi- gflice that has yet heard any of the vinia programs. In spite of the an- ance caused by the unwarranted lount of confusion that seemed to with reference to seating ticket iders, and the presence of the ubl- too» mosquito, the audience took erything in good part and received >e orchestra's offering with unalloyed •light |pl A Good Program. Tie program set forth Dvorak's 2imeval" overture, the andante from Khalkowsky's Fifth Symphony, bit's E major Polonaise, Smetana'a mphonic poem, "On the Moidau," Usenet's "Sous les Tllleuls," from e "Scenes Alsaciennes," and the st mov ement of Macdowell's A minor »ite. This ..^loic was delivered with that harm And distinction which have long ade tae performances of this organiza- on a delight to the ear.

Rather Than See a Man Locked Up Over Night He Reduces Original Fine, Justice was tempered with mercy Friday evening in the Evanston po- lice court, when Police Magistrate Boyer let H. Hansen of Glencoe, ar- rested on a charge of disorderly con- duct, off with a fine of $1 and costs. And the compassion was shown by the justice solely on account of the ter- rific hot wave. Hansen, slightly intoxicated, caused a disturbance in Mascolino's restau- rant, 1631 Benson avenue, shortly aft- er 8 o'clock. He was ejected from the place and later arrested by Chief of Police Shaffer on a warrant sworn to by Mascolino. When taken In court Hansen admitted his guilt. A fine of %2 and costs, totalling $3, was assessed and the offender began to take an in- ventory of cash on hand. He discov- ered that be lacked Just one dollar of having enough money to pay the fine. "I guess you'll have to lock me up for the night," sorrowfully remarked the prisoner, "I haven't got enough money to pay up." Justice Boyer meditated a moment and then, wiping bis brow, asked, "How much have you got, Hansen?" "Just two bucks, your honor," was the answer. "Well, I'll Just take a dollar off that fine rather than see you locked up In a hot cell to swelter during the night," Justice Boyer concluded. Hansen paid and was released. Be- fore leaving the court room he shook hands with Mascolino, who had caused his arrest, and who had also used him roughly. "We can still be friends, can't we?" Hansen remarked.

BOYER RELENTS AND SPEEDERS CET OFF EASY Efforts to escape the blazing heat of Friday afternoon by driving their autos at a rate a trifle In ex- cess of the speed limit, resulted in j the arrest of two north shore motorists iu Evanston. They were [ Henry Behrens of Bluff street,; Gleucoe. and Enos Culler, 507 j Lake street, Wllmette. Both wure! caught, driving their cars at a twenty-! two-mile rate in West Railroad ave nue by Motorcycle Policeman Larkln. i Police Magistrate Boyer was In- clined to be lenlsnt with both of- fenders when they entered pleas of guilty to the charges, and each was fined only $5 and costs. "Twenty- two miles an hour I don't consider a flagrant violation," remarked Justice Boyer today, in commenting on the fines imposed, "and consequently I don't believe in levying a heavy fine." It is possible that the police coun. official dealt kindly with the autoists becaubt of the inunse heat. How- ever, he maintains that the ultimatum issued recently, that no small fln«-a will be assessed against willful and reckless* speeder*, will otill be en â-  o reed 300 ENJOY SWIMMING AT NEW TRIER TANK Three hundred patrons, truh .Mil dren and other young peopi â- , ha\. reg- istered with Athletic Director C A Hyatt at the New Trier lilfch .school to enjoy th,. swimming tank in tr"' lu" stitutloii during the hot saniruer months Already the natatorium has lipcome ,i .Mecca for those seeking re- lief from the heat wave which has swept alo.ig the north shore during the last week and extra care was taken at times to ke« p from crowding the popular place.

It is tho.ught that the extreme hot weather of the last few days has caused many boys who planned entering the manual training classes to enj*â- / a slight va- cation before taking up the work in the summer class** Within a few days work on the Winnetka free bathing beach will be completed and according to state- ments made by persons familiar with such recreation places, the Winnetka beach will surpass any similar Insti- tution along the lake in Illinois. For many years Wlnnetkans have been wishing for the establishment of a first-class beach and it Is only within the last few years that the authorities in the upshore town have become act- ive In the matter. Harbor Caissons Wrecked. About three years ago the park board of Winnetka accepted bids for the construction of a harbor offBhore Just north of Elm street along the village park. The work was awarded the Interlocking Concrete Construc- tion company, which later became In- solvent. One hundred or more cais- sons of cement were placed In rec- tangular position for a distance of probably 100 feet or more from shore. Scarcely had the work in placing the caissonB been completed before a se- vere storm completely wrecked the entire work. The huge concrete pil- lars were all blown down Into the lake and the vision of a neat harbor for Winnetka was swept away. The contracting firm, having been forced into bankruptcy in the mean- time, did not assume responsibility for the wrecking of the caissons and for nearly three years the Winnetka harbor, at the choice bathing spot along the shore, has been filled with concrete debris. After leaving the btach piled with the pillars for two years, certain resi- dents interested in the bathing beach project started an agitation for the es- tablishment of such a place in lieu of the harbor. The harbor had been In tended for those Interested in yacht- ing and boating It was pointed out that the bathing beach would interest practically the entire populace and the park board W'lime tuterested. Last fall the contract was let to Iturkitt & Wylie. the Winnetka Con tractln6 Ann, to build a pier on the old harbor site and also to remove the hroken concrete caissons. The pier was completed early this spring and th-'ii work was started removing the -â- oncrete. The rem..val of the mass or concrete i,„ilecl In the depths of the lake was a Mtiip.-ndoiis .ask. one which greatly exceeded any expectation of the con- ductors I.uikily the Arm secured the services of an old deep-sea diver known as "Dutch Fritz." He has proved in- valuable in diving and placing cables ii',out the sunken concrete, which was lu.ulcd to shore by teams. Much diffi- culty was experienced in removing the hist of (he .alssons this week, and it was necessary to resort to dynamite to move the debris. ' It is said that the beach Is practi- cally free now from wreckage and „ith a little work the place will be put 1" shape tor one of the best, if not the best watering place alon* the north shore Suitable houses fo. the changing of dothlng b, the bathers will be placed shortly and every accommodation made for Wlnnetkans who want to enjoy the lake bathing FORM PARTNERSHIP. Carlton Ptouty and Jonas H. Mad-! »en have formed * partnership in Are , insurance busing* in Winnetka, ef-1 fectlve Tuesday.

About twenty-five women from the Wllmette and Winnetka Con- gregational churches also attended this picnic meeting. The late morn- ing was spent in wandering around the beautiful gardens. After luncheon an Informal meeting was held. Mrs. Frank M. Elliott presided, Dr. McEl- veen conducted the devotional exer- cises, Mrs. W. M. Green, Mrs. E. D. Redlngton and Mrs. A. D. Sanders.

Mies Wheelock of the Wllmette church, Mrs. Knapp, Miss Skinner, Mrs. S. E. Hurlbut and Dr. McElveen spoke. A very hearty vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Balllnger and her mother, Mrs. Poarch, for their gracious hospitality. This Is the tenth .year that the Wom- an's Foreign Missionary society of the Evanston Congregational church has held its June meeting in Mrs. Bel- linger's home. While these mission- ary enthusiasts were picnicking In Hubbard Woods, another large delega- tion of Congregational women were enjoying the festivities at the Park Ridge school. Mrs. B. J. Bufflngton, Mrs. T. A. Somerville, Mrs. James Odell and several otters took guests from Evanston in their automo- biles. On last Thursday the Wom- an's Home MisBlonaryj society enjoyed a "wheel sociable" at the home of Mrs. Hakes on Hlnman avenue. Miss Nona Hakes entertained with a fine musical program. On Friday.

Many residents of the north shore read with Interest the clever abort story which appeared in a current number of a popular magazine, en- titled "When Hannah Var Sight Yar Old." by Katherine Peabody Girling. wife of Dr. Wlnthrop Girling of Glen- coe. prominent in Chicago and north shore literary and social activities. The story deals with the early life struggles of a Swedish servant girl. It Is written In dialect which la so cleverly handled by Mrs. Girling that the interest of the reader is held until the climax. " The sole object of the storj^ ac- cording to Mrs. Girling, is to show Uiat the servant girls "are human." The story is written about the life of a Swedish servant in the Girling home, She told the story ot her childish ex- periences and troubles to Mrs, Girling. who weaved the interesting tale for magazine readers. Although the hap- penings were experienced twenty years ago, the tale is interesting and novel. Immigration Problem. "1 had forgotten all about the story until a few months ago," laid Mrs. Girling, in talking of the story, "when some incident recalled it to my mind. I have tried to tell the story Just si this girl told it to me, twenty yearn ago. I think we should reeitae more that this immigration problem Is a large one, and also that all, or nearly all, of those foreigners who come to America come here tor -a reason- either for religious freedom or with the hope ot finding a life to lire, In addition to earning a living. "When Hannah came to me she was Just a simple Swedish girl. Soon we became acquainted, and she told me her story. After that she seamed to be happier, tor she knew that some one knew her sad story ot Ufl?' "I hope," continued Mrs. Girling, "that some one will see the story, and then be able to find something inter estlng In their own maids." Mrs. Girling is the author of sev- eral other short stories which have recently appeared in magazines. Among them was the story styled "The Last Bridge of the Duchess," which was published a few months ago In the Good Housekeeping maga- zine.

However, all of this work of landscape gardening is for naught when the rough city crowds Infest the village and proceed to tear vp the lawns, pull the carefully arranged flowers and shrubbery and strew tho lawns with waste paper. It Is said that the crowd was so large last Sunday that it was necee- sary for the villagers who wanted to board the elevated for the city to clamor through the seething mass of humanity and fight for the chance to get aboard the car. Pop Bueiness Thrives. Because of this Sunday influx of outsiders, the pop venders near the terminals are reaping a harvest. Three or four stands where refresh- ments are sold have been established near the Linden avenue station and a rush is experienced when the crowds flock to the village. The invader* then take their purchases and scatter pop bottles, crackerjack boxes and the like over th© lawns of the resi- dents. The Wllmette police are pow- erless to cope with the situation and one hope the suburbanites have In getting rid of the nuisance is to keep the elevated out of the village alto- gether.
