COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED Hope Thompson Names Men to Direct Work of Club This Season. By Frank J. Seng. The Men's club is to get behind the Wilmette Guard, to boost the work of the latter organization, to assist in the proposed drive for funds and to do everything in its power to pro- mote the interests of the Guard. Hope'thompson, its president, and the directors of the Men's club re- cently conferred with the officers of the Guard and tendered the services of the older organization, which has in its membership many men who have not thus far been made fully acquainted with the aim and scope of the Guard. The officers of the Guard are highly pleased with the tender of the services of the club, and so expressed themselves at the conference held last week. Program Planned. The initial gun will be fired on Tuesday evening, November 13, at the regular meeting of the Men's club,*at the Woman's club building. This will he known as Wilmette Guard night, and to the meeting have been invited the two companies of the Guard, Company K of the 11th Infantry and Company D of the First Regular Reserve Militia. It is under- stood that the men will appear in full uniform. As a compliment to the militia,jthe ladies are invited to attend the meet- ing, which promises to be the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the village. Not only will there be speakers of note, but letters from our own boys at the front will be read, so that Wilmette home folks may learn of the exploits of its boys "over there." Committees.

That is activity developed to its highest point. To furnish facilities for the transmission of this enormous, incomprehensible mass of messages is a gigantic undertaking. THE BELL SYSTEM is meeting its responsibili- ties. There are delays but they are negligible when compared with the volume of the business. The public is helping; the people realize the pressure that the Telephone Companies are under. NOT LONG AGO, at a big Army Post, an event of great interest, long looked for, transpired and the soldier men wanted to get word home as quickly as possible. A rush was made for every available telephone inside and outside the post. Result, calls piled up to an unheard-of number in the exchange serving the territory. There were delays, to be sure, but none of any great length, and finally all were cleared up. A NOTICEABLE AND GRATIFYING FEA- TURE of the rush was the uniform good nature and patience of the soldiers. This not only made the work of attending to their wants easier and picas- anter, but it made it quicker. EVERYBODY BENEFITS when good humor pre- vails and the human cogs in the big public service machinery work easier and at higher speed. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY MR. HERBERT J.
