It is the occasion of a Legion dinner at the Wilmette Woman's club, served promptly at 7 o'clock. Music and dancing will provide entertain- ment for the legionnaires and their "best girls". The Wilmette Legion Auxiliary or- ganized only a few weeks ago, prom- ises to become one of the most impor- tant patriotic and civic organizations in the village. Already the members have demonstrated ability to "do things" by co-operating with the Le- gion in raising funds to defray the expenses of the Memorial Day par- ade and ceremonies. The women held a home-bakery sale for this purpose and labored diligently with the Le- gion men in perfecting plans for Me- morial Day. What Co-operation Did Combined efforts of thTLegion and the Auxiliary, and the splendid co-op- eration of the citizens of Wilmette resulted in complete success of the Memorial Day activities. â€"Hundredr of citizens participated in the beautiful services at the First Congregational church Sunday even- ing, when State Legion Commander McCauley, and the Rev. George Craig Stewart-were-the speakers.

JOSEPH E. CAPS, GRAD AT KEMPER MILITARY SCHOOL The latest burglar alarm device in Kenilworth is an ordinary police whistle, and the small nickel-plated contraption has found a permanent place in every house in the village, the mansion of the rich and the mod- est1 home of the ordinary commuter. Reason: Kenilworth has been annoyedâ€"ex- ceedinglyâ€" by prowlers, miscreants who seek all manner of goods and valuables from within the fastnesses of the homes, and the police have been unable to cope with the dis- tressing situation. Plan: In each home there will be in- stalled a whistle, with identification tag attached bearing name of the head of the family. The whistles are to be distributed by the department of police, Patrick J. Murray, captain, under special orders of the Public Safety committee of the Village Board, John Hicks, Henry Taylor, Jr., Harry Vissering and James H. Prentiss. Orders: Whistle is to be soundedâ€"one long blast at half minute intervals, an- swered by the police in the same way. Whistle is not to be used unless the- householder is "reasonably certain someone is committing a crime". The whistleâ€"the tag also bears this in- formationâ€"is by no meansâ€"toâ€"be wedâ€"as a ^toyv SEEK BIG VOTE AT JUDICIAL ELECTION Committee for Wilmette Asks Record Vote in Village In Support of Coalition Non-Parti- san Ticket FIGHT THOMPSON MACHINE "Keep the Courts Out of Politics", Is Battle Crys Issue Important Letter depart- TTTHe Home Garden, a mon magazine. 2.
