November 9. 1928 ------------------JI Lectures at Club ~ R. L P. Uery Walter, author of "The World on One Leg," which Putnam published a few weeks ago, told memben of the Woman's club of Wilmette on Wednesday afternoon how he came to write the book. He told of hopping about the world with the handicap of one leg and a half, but after hearing of his experiences, one is inclined to hold with Webster, who says that .. a handicap is a disadvant~ge imposed on one supposedly superior." Mr. Walter himself says there are many advantages in having ol)ly one good foot, even though ·the k<>Pd foot isn't ~o good. . He returned to this country in September with $16 and the rest of uis life before him, and nineteen operations and a mileage of 45,()90 miles behind him; and he has given seventeen lectures since undergoing · three opera:. tions ·in New York four weeks ago. Therefore it can be deduced that his talk was more than interesting. He talked with Benito M ussolini, ln- terviewed Lloyd George and Von Hindenburg, three things he had wanted to do since the end of the world war. H~ traveled with limitless enthusiasm aud a limited amount of money, paying for passage on. boats by tutoring, or selling a story in the nick of time. When he left Australia en route to England, the captain of the ship and the ship's doctor decided to put him off, because they did not expect him to live through the voyage. 1\ burial at sea or a return to Australia not being ·in Mr. Walter's plan, he "stuck it out" and managed to survive the trip, stopping off to visit Egypt and old King Tut's tomb. After a look at Italy he journeyed to Paris, where he said he found the Latin Quarter is so called because everyone talks Latin and nobody has a quarter. His slyly humorous remarks throughout his talk and his terse comments on the transportation to and from the countries he visited soon filled the hour. One feels eager to read his book. Kenilworth Grid Team Splits in Wilmette Games The ] oseph Sears school of Kenilworth finished the season in· the North Shore Grammar School Football league last week by dividing a doubleheader with teams repre·s enting Wilmette. After a poor showing early in the season the Kenilworth heavyweight team (boys under 100 pounds) hit its stride and last week defeated Wilmette again, this time· by a 9 to .0 3core. The victory was more impressive in view of the fact that Wilmette has won from the Boltwood and Haven schools in Evanston. The Joseph Sears lightweights (boys under 85 pounds) · l0'3t to Wilmette, 6 to 0. With the closing of the grammar school league season, interest centered on the football meet which was to be beld at Joseph Sears field this Saturday morning.
