hi j|riiii;i m"i|' ii; -t$ Mrs. LillianJiavidson, WCOfMW* tor of tS|f{^tei'ljifeato:' TO BE READY BY JUNE One Wing Will B$$* #mnarrled Men^WhiletheCWher WftlBefop UlmairHedWoin>n^Waprte(J People Need Not Apply. A bachelors' hotel is to be erected in Evanston within the near future. Married persons will absolutely not be accommodated. The new hotel is to be erected by Mrs. Lillian Davidson, the proprietor, of the Woman's Exchange Cafeteria at 162f7 Chicago avenue. The present red frame building is to be torn down to make way for the new hotel, which will be finished by June 1. According to Mrs. Davidson one wing of her new hotel is to be re- served for men and the other for women. But the parlors will be for the mutual benefit of both. These will be the great features of the new hostelry. Mrs. Davidson has an idea there are entirely too many unmar- ried women in Evanston. She thinks her new. hotel will furnish a meeting place. The rest can be left to Cupid, Take Interest In Plan. Needless to say this announcement has caused marriageable young men and young women to take more than passing interest la the proposed plans for the hotel. *" The Cafeteria has long been a popu- lar eating place. Many flock there for their meals. According to the pro- prietor the majority of them are un- married men and women. They are persons with rooms in private homes, and who go out for their meals. The proposed dormitory attachment will render traveling out In the cold to get a bite of luncheon needless. . At the Cafeteria the women sit at tables by themselves in one part of the room, while the men dine at tables at the other aide. Though, as Mrs. Davidson states, there are more un- married than married ones dine at her establishment, they have little op- portunity of scraping up an acquain- tance. "It Is just the same as if a dead line was drawn," she said. Conditions Wrong. "Why, the conditions in Evanston are away wrong," said Mrs. Davidson, "it Is doubtful if there is a city in the country in which there is a greater surplus of women over men than right here in our own city. The govern- ment census taker of the second pre- cinct of the First ward reported two years ago, if I remember correctly, that in this district of 2,261 persons there were 458 more women than men, and that only one woman out of eight of marriageable age was married. "Now there are scores of young women who come here to dine who have no opportunity to get acquainted with young men or, what is even worse, no place to receive them, I think such a hotel as I plan win be highly popular." Mrs, Mary Wissman, 55 years old, 1949 Orchard street, Chicago, after a to the home of her son, Adolf Wiasman, itia Greenleaf street, dropped dead before she had gone two blocks from the home. Mrs. Wiss- mancame from her home in Chicago yesterday to visit her son's family. She'apparently was in the best of health and played with the children. She had gone but a short distance when she fell dead. A coroner's jury this morning stated she succumbed from organic heart disease. WINNETKA BOY'S LIFE A most remarkable discovery by Drs. Fletcher and Stolp of Wllmette was without doubt the means of sav- ing the life of Leon Townsend, nine months old child of Assistant United States District Attorney Frederick Dickinson, 952 Pine street, Winnetka. The child had been ailing for weeks from what was supposed to- be croup and bronchitis. Finally an X-ray pic- ture was suggested and the child was removed to the Evanston hospital. Two negatives were taken and on the second one shown clearly the out- line of a child's safety pin, fully an inch long, in the child's throat. Dr. Fletcher, immediately after the devel- opment of the negative, went to Chi- cago for instruments with which to remove the pin. By the use of the bronchoscope he easily located it and removed the pin without injury to the child. ST. MARK'S MEN'S CLUB TO HEAD W. D. TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Moody will be their guide, as well as the transportation ma- chinery- Mr. Moody will deliver a lec- ture, illustrated profusely by stereop- ticon views, on the building of cities. He will tell what should not be done and will show by his pictures some "horrible examples." He will also tell what should be done, and illustrate his remarks by examples that are nof* horrible. Mr. Moody was formerly the man- ager of the Chicago Association of Commerce, but recently became the managing director of the Chicago Plan commission, and is devoting his time now to the effort to place before the citizens of Chicago and suburbs, what city planning really is and whsa it means. The Chicago plan is being promoted by the Chicago Plan commis- sion of 328 representative men ap- pointed by the mayor on authority from the city council. Mr. Moody's lecture is not of the dry and technical sort, but entertain- ing as well as instructive, and he has a pleasing address and a magnetic style. Transfer Monday of Evanston and Chicago Property Reveals That $300,000 Apartments Are to Be Erectedr SOUTH ON RIDGE AVENUE According to Statements of Pur- chasers, the Building Will Con- tain 4,5 and 6 Room Apartments. The first invasion of Ridge avenue, south of Church street, by apartment buildings has been heralded.

Mr. McCall's plans are to begin con- struction in the spring, building either a 3ft or 4* apartment building of brick, standing 30 feet back from the lot line, with the most modern pos- sible construction and some novel fea tures. The apartmentu^are to contain four, five and six rooms and will rent at from $60 to $100 per month. While this is the first apartment building announced for the Ridge ave- nue district, it is only the forerunner of many other large buildings of tills type in the South End.

The regular meeting was to be next Thursday, but as that falls on Thanksgiving, it was decided to hold the meeting last night Many of the members had made previous engagements, which accounted for the small attendance. Messrs. Peter Randier and Charles E. Arnold, who attended the meeting of the Illinois State Federation of Merchants as delegates from the local club, made their reports, which Were extremely interesting. It was decided to write a letter to the secretary of the association commending them on the great work they are doing. President Macpherson explained very fully the ideas of the state or- ganisation and what was its ultimate object. Mr. Macpherson was an in- vited guest at a recent meeting of the Chicago Association of Commerce when the subject was fully discussed by prominent and able persons and his gleanings were warmly leeetved by the members last night. Mr. De> thie and Mr. Miller reported favorably on the great work and energetic spirit the members of tho Olympic dub are displaying In their quarters tn the citybatt.

The three men were employed by the Sloan & Arnold company of Chi- cago, who have the contract tor the excavation. The misunderstanding of an order is, according to the police, the cause of the accident. Walsh, Dougherty and Charley were working beneath the derrick, when one of the foremen gave an order for the pulling of a guy rope. The man quickly grasped a rope and gave a pull. . Derrick Fell. In a second the giant structure of wooden beams and iron came crash- ing through the air. Dougherty was working in a sand hole and did not see it fall. He was struck a glancing blow over the back. The pile of sand in which he was two-thirds buried probably saved bis life. It was while going to the aid of his coworker that Walsh lost his life. Walsh did not notice that the derrick was in two sections. He saw the first section tall and saw Dougherty felled by its blow. His first thoughts were of his com- panion. He leaped to the spot where the injured man lay. As he bent over him the second section fell and laid his scalp open. Charley, an Italian, was struck on the shoulder by the second section, but did not allow his injuries to be- come known until an hour later. As soon as the accident occurred medical aid was summoned.

No better evidence for this can be offered than the large numbers who leave school as soon as the fourteen years' compulsory period Is passed. This evidence comes, of course, net from Chicago alone. "The Investigations In Massachu- setts and St Louis, as wen as tn other communities, have revealed the same large percentage who leave school as soon as the fourteen-year period la reached. These investigations halve shown conclusively that the prevail- ing reason for leaving school la net to be found In the financial need of the family of the 14-year-old child.
