WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1923 SIXTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS ISIT HOMES IN WELFARE DRIVE Women Canvass Village in Interest of New Trier Infant Welfare Station BEGIN NEXT MONDAY Would Raise $4,000 to Save Babies At a tea given Friday, February 23, plans were completed for the an- nual Infant Welfare fund drive which is to be launched Monday, March 5, and continue over five days. Dr. Clifford G. Gurlee gave an in- spiring and instructive talk regarding the aims and work of the Infant Welfare society. Miss Sara Place, superintendent of nurses, made a stir- ring appeal in behalf of the welfare station work. Concerning the fund campaign, the Infant Welfare society this-week is- sued the following statement at head- quarters, 104 S. Michigan avenue. Chicago: "A committee of one hundred north shore wc men will conduct a house to house drive, March 5 to 10, for the benefit of several hundred babies liv- ing in the vicinity of Chicago avenue and Noble street, Chicago, where the New Trier station of the Infant Wel- fare society of Chicago is maintained. "Mrs. Ernest P. Bartlett of Wil- mette is chairman of the Wilmette Center which has charge of the drive by which it is expected $4000.will be raised. "-The New Trier station haTreccnt- ly been made a Class A station through the establishment of Pre-nat- al clinics and supported by the Wil- mette Center, Glencoe Center and Kenilworth Neighbors. "Officers assisting Mrs. Bartlett in the drive are: Mrs. Herbert C. Arms, Mrs.;rW.~ J. KirigrSfrs. €has. McCue. Mrs. Oscar Townsend, all of Wil- mette. "The Wilmette troop of Boy Scouts will assist the women in their cam- paign and automobiles will be pla- carded with signs so that the whole north shore _will be aware of the ef- forts being"made:~f<T make Chicago-a: safer place for the several hundred youngsters whose mothers secure medical and dietetic advice at New Trier station." The campaign sloganâ€" is Save the Babies "â€""Five dollars cares for one baby six monthsâ€"$10 cares for one baby one year."----------- Dollar Subscription Brings An Avalanche "The American public 'dearly loves a bargain", is the way some one has expressed it. Wilmette householders, being typically American, also are not averse to bargains, particularly when those bargains are as attract- ive as The Lake Shore News Dollar Day offer. The Lake Shore News offered a nine-month subscription for one dollar. _____ And, we beg to comment with due modesty, to the effect that the circulation department is even now just emerging from beneath a veritable avalanche of mail bear- ing the "dollars". At press time the "returns" on Dollar Day Rargai had exceeded the 200 mark with more still to be tabulated. POLICE CAPTURE NEGRO BURGLAR Chauffeur Discovers Tailor Shop Looting Special Lenten Sermons At the Methodist Church Great interest in local Methodists church circles is manifest in a series -ofâ€"special Sundayâ€"morning ""Lenten sermons to be-preached by Dr. Gilbert St an sell, of the First Methodist church beginning~"Sunday, March 4. " The sermon for March 4 will bear the title "The Keys of the King- dom". Sermons to follow on succeed- ing Sundays through the Lenten sea- son will be as follows: March 11â€" "The Good News of a Better Life"; -March 18 "Theâ€"FuHiflmerrt of the Highest Hopes of the Race"; March 25â€""Knocking at the 'Big Door of the Best Nation" (a Palm Sunday Mess- age). The general public i& invited to these services. Orville Jennings Borchers choir di- rector, is arranging music especially illustrative of this course of Lenten sermons, it is announced. Jesse Jones, colored, whom, local police assert, annexed the latter des- ignation in consideration of the fact he does not possess an equine assist- ant, became enmeshed in police toils early Sunday morning when' he was preparing to leave Wilmette after helping himself to some $2,000 worth of wearing apparel in the Schultz & Nord Central- avenue tailoring estab- lishment. "J©nes, who had carried a quantity of clothing to a temporary hiding place, was returning to the tailoring house via a rear driveway, when Tames Brady, chauffeur for Herbon Brothers, happened along", • and greeted the dusky prowler with quiet suspicion. Within a moment Brady had sum- moned the police, and patrolmen George Sxrhaefer, Herman Vance and Gottfried Ahrendt ' executed a neat advance upon the rear of the Schultz & Nord place. Jones gave up without argument and was summarily incar- cerated. He was later held to^he criminal court at a hearing before Magistrate Dickey- andâ€"consigned to-the county jail in default of $6,000 bail, $5,000 representing the maraudings at Schultz & Nord, and $1,000 for pre- viously appropriating a pair of shoes ij-fewLat.....Blomdahl-&_SundmarJc!s_-kootery„ "-- at Winnetka. Jones' loot from Schultz & Nord included several suits, eleven pairs of trousers, a number of expensive gowns left to be dry cleaned, several bolts of suitings, a gold watch and miscellaneous office paraphernalia. 0Â¥E^LAY4^SWELIr M. £.

The quartet will be assisted by Ethel Benedict, vocal soloist, who is well known to north shore audiences. It is of especial interest to north shore residentsâ€"that-'George Dasch, conductor of the "Little Symphony" orchestra, is also the first violinist of the Philharmonic quartet. Mr. Dasch has won a place of distinction with local residents in view of his splendid interest in providing the Little Symphony concerts given this season at New Trier high school auditorium under auspices of the New Trier Orchestral association. Another artist who has won favor in this vicinity is Carl Brueckner, 'cel- list, who was given an ovation when he appeared as soloist in the first of tibis season's_"Little Symphony" con- certs. The quartet personnel comprises George Dasch, first violin; Fritz Itte, second violin; Otto Roehrborn, viola; Carl Bruechner, 'cello.

The association has called upon the North Shore Players, Sidney Spiegel, president, to present a benefit play at the Byron C. Stolp auditorium Thursday, March 22. Though the name of the play is withheld as a deep, dark secret, there is the promise that the players will select a vehicle that will be of general interest. The suggestion to stage a library fund benefit came at a recent meet- ing of the Improvement association and met with unanimous approval. -' "Discipline" is Subject At Logan P. T. A.

CHANNEL LINKS IN FINE SHAPE New Club House Ready By Mayl "The Community golf course along the Drainage channel will be in fine condition for this year's play," de- clared treasurer H. E. Chandler of the Community ' association. "The course has been lengthened more than 100 yards. The greens built last fall will all be in-use by midsummer. "The open weather has given an opportunity to get the new clubhouse well under way, and it will be ready for use about May 1. The new tennis courts will be completed for summer use.

T^iis is due to a rule of the postal department that mail delivery cannot be required-on streets having no sidewalks. In some sections the titles to vacant properties are so in- volved that the village board cannot compel the laying of sidewalks. Hence the annoying situation. A committee was appointed to confer with Post- master Shantz, who is said to have expressed his willingness to go as far as the postal department will per- mit in extending delivery service, qt; '..
