The two carriers are Ralph Noble, lor route one, which is the mounted route on the east side of the village, and Matthew Johnson, colored, for note two or all of the territory west of the Chicago and Northwestern rail- toad.

Booth of Chicago, who was at that time enjoying HI health in a Michigan sanitarium. ' Mrs. Booth was a frail, quiet llttte live wire who knew notb- ing at all about politics. Moreover, she bad no knowledge with which to cope with the problem of winning over a hostile legislature. She had never seen n legislature in action. She had met few politicians and these only ac- cidentally. The well-known thousand and one methods of getting bills through an American legislature were all contained In a hermetically sealed book and imbedded in concrete so far as she was concerned. "In fact, Mrs. Booth was densely ig- norant. Her selection was preposter- ous. She was a compendium of politi- cal deficiencies. All she had to work with was- a universityeducation, la, economics, sociology, psychology, and logic, with a teaching experience In civil government and a knowledge of bookkeeping. To ask her to assault a legislature with this equipment seemed as foolish as to ask a physi- cian to cure dropsy with a knowledge of "counterpoint and fugue, an4 Mrs. Booth so told the anxious women who had appointed her.

"But the women Insisted and final, ly Mrs. Booth consented, and the re- sult was that late last fall the women of Illinois went after suffrage with the aid of sociology, pbychology, 12,00©. and a card catalogue.

Fraser Hale, the twenty-yeawHd golfer of Wlnnetka, walked away with the biggest triumph of his ca- reer Saturday when he won-th* an- nual invitation golf tournament at the Olenview Golf club. Hale has been climbing the ladder of golfing fame gradually and with the victory in the Olenview meet is noW ac- claimed one of the experts with » stick on the north shore. -4He is the m heln» entertained in camp. In reUnqnlshed his seat la the machine son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Hale of Wlnnetka and is a member of the Bkokle Country club.------------------------- Only a few weeks ago^ Hale re- turned from a tour of the western states, being a member of a group selected to represent the middle west golfers in a series of games played with crack golfers In the west He distinguished himself by winning every match In which h© played. ' Started Playing When Boy. v For nine years Fraser Hale has been training for a, career as an ex- pert In golf. At the age of eleven years he played his first match with his father In a father and son con- test at the Skokie <*nb. Since that time he has spent his spare moments on the links and has developed Into a crack player. In the thirty-six hole final played Saturday for the Olenview Cupp II, Hale defeated Paul Hunter of Mid- lothian club, 6 and 4. 0%Wednesday preceding he won the thirty-six hole competition for the North Branch trophy. This gave him the majority of honors of the tournament. Hale's victory was due to the dis- play In the morning, when he notched a j$ and gained a winning lead of six holes. The Midlothian plafer was able to win only one hole. Hunter's only hope of victory was, to go at top speed In the afternoon and to catch Hale a little off his game, but this proved a forlorn hope. Hunter played the better golf, but made mistakes ♦ «â-  While looking over these me newer soul, out uwuv «»>•«»» mere are MYcniiy-oua avjm win »»*vj- wueiy «i j»r. * lsiators. w«^^eameatiy Mr* Bootiv enough 4© let Hale keep well shead, four girls in camp now, tweuly-lwo 0f the machine. On the out round of the afternoon Hunter won four holes and Hale three, the latter being 6 up at the twenty- second bole. The luck broke against Hunter, as a dead stymie on the sev- enth green cost him that hole, while on the tenth green he had to jump another stymie In order to get a half to four* * The -two -players -had -met twice before In tournaments, Hunter winning In the Skokie Junior tourna- ment and again In an Onwentsta meet Hale Leads In Morning. Hale gave a finished display In the morning round, while Hunter, as in the final last year, was erratic in his long game. At the first bole Hale ran bis approach two feet from the pin and won, 4â€"5. Hunter was oft the green on ,hls third, and short on his approach. Both made short ap- proaches for the second hols and halved in fours.

Camp Good Will can easily accom- modate 1W to 170 without overcrowd- ing. When 189 descended on the camp a week ago, the staff thought they had an impossible task to ac- commodate them all. But by patient effort all were assigned to places, and the largest party proved to be the happiest party the camp has ever had. One or two families Were unexpect- edly called .home, but the other campers did not even ask to be as- signed the use of the tents thus va- cated. In the nrst*nve weeks of camp 763 guests have been entertained, twenty-nine more than during the same period last year. It is interesting to note the dis- tribution of the campers according to age and sex. One week there will be hardly any boys, another week few girls. This Is decidedly boys' week.

A Great Undertaking. . -The gathering of 180 persons and- bringing them out to camp at first sight seems to be a great undertak- ing. But It really reduces Itself to a very simple matter, simply not be- cause It is hurriedly perfomed, but because of the splendid system by which It is accomplished. The only agency through which campers are sent out to Camp Good Will is the United Charities of Chicago. The en- tire city of Chicago Is divided into districts, with an office, a district su- perintendent *nd numerous assist- ants. Bach week Mr, Roloff, director of all summer outing work ot the United Charities, apportions among bis various districts the number of campers to be securedwhere fifty, there twenty-five, and so on.
