About five years ago the agitation was started, for tltf^impravement of the splendid north and south resident street. Alter the movement had gained some head wayr-ft was decided to form the ()rrington Avenue Im- provement association that concert- .property owners. Had Lengthy Discussion. Nearly three months ago, in a spe- cial meeting of the board of local-im- provements, the proposed Improve- ment of Orrington avenue was' dis- cussed at length. In fact, the session was so prolonged that it was neces- sary to call an adjournment on ac of 20 cents apiece, or six for $1, un- deeorated, or 25 cents 'apiece deco- rated.

Five Chinese young men are now broadened by the acquisition of Amer- tlie latter disagreed on so many points, including material, route of proposed intercepting sewer, etc., the board members, decided to abandon the improvement,'*" The proposed route of the inter- cepting sewer along Orriitgtcfn ave- nue seemed to be the chief objection raised by the property owners at the time of the hearing. Although they were assured by the members of tj»e Improvement board that no final ac- tion would be taken until the sewer problem should be settled, the prop- erty owners still refused to agree to the improvement Nothing They Could flip "There was nothing left for tMffrto do after those Orrington avenue pen pie refused to come to some agree- ment," said a member of the im- provement board, "but to abandon _-^â€"thfl-----proposition; "The- Intercept- ing sewer was the big cry and even after we agreed to do nothing but put through the preliminary legal proceedings and be in readiness to go ahead with the paving after the sewer proposition was disposed of, they would not come to any conclusion or ^"TTndlrstandlng. I cannot make it out. Since the hearings a few months ago I have not heard anything about the matter." - There seems to be a wide diversion concerning the kind of material to be used, If the improvement Is ever pro- vided, Some want brick, others macadam, while a few are in favor of putting down creosote block. One thing Is certain. The property owners do not want to make the avenue a main thoroughfare for traffic nortli and south through Evanston by im- proving it at this juncture, and it may be that this is one of the causes for delay In the matter. They contend that if the pavement is placed before Sheridan road is" Improved, all the travel "from that street will divert to Orrington avenue. Likewise it Is held . that the heavy motor trucks, Instead _oi_|{Qltig_5v'est to West Railroad and Maple avenues, will use the * new street, Condition a Disgrace. "Orrlagton avenue at present is a disgrace to a city like Evanston," said one property owner in that »tr< ct who is in favor of placing a good, substantial pavement. "After the smallest shower the street resembles a country road, and it is impossible for pedestrians to cross it without sinking ankle deep in mud. What is needed is a good pavement placed or) i " a ten 01 twelve-inch concrete, founda- tion." Another feature to the blocking of the Qrrington avenue Improvement, which greatly peeves the residents In' this prominent old thoroughfare, is the fact thai the council has change J Rinn street to a boulevard and lef r ; the north side street open to all kinds of traffic. It Is hinted that If a boulevard should be established In ;; Orrington avenue the proposed fm- iprovementg^coald be easily promoted. Mrs. E.

They will later take these ideas back with them and help to in- culcate them into the new freedom which is being evolved In the Flowery Kingdom.

It is considered sug- gestive that the Chinese government itself courts the Introduction of Amer- ican ideas and American ideals into its body politic, and to this end has selected promising young men to come here for this education. Two of trie young men, P. Y, Ma and T. Dong, were active in the revolution and were sent here by the government as a re- W\ M. Green, scout commissioner of the Evanston Boy Scouts, has adopted a plan of keeping a record of each boy scout in Evanston, which will incite him to deeds of valor and bravery. There are some 200 boy scouts in Ev- anston and to keep a record of the deeds of each youth is no small task. In spite of the large amount of work entailed, Mr. Green has a complete record to date of the deeds performed j by two-thirds of the youths. j According to the by-laws of the Boy , Scout organization, every scout is re-j quired to do at least one good turn j each day. From a stack of reports sub- i mitted to The Lake Shore News, the | following incidents in the lives of sev- j eral of the youths are only typical of', the work they are doing. Parents are | urged to pick out their sons from the! few good turns related herewith. It j furnishes an Interesting study and | shows the good that is being accom-1 plished by the members of the scout J army. The numbers are for convenience of Mr. Green and are not the identifica- tion numbers used in the records. The following heroic acts are taken from this large list of records: The Acta.

On account of the repair work being done on the street car tracks in south Evan- ston, the passengers from the north and southbound carB transferred at Lee street. & Brand explained that his chauffeur stopped the auto when he saw the southbound car stop and discharge passengers. However, he did not know that passengers on the northbound car were"to be transferred and when the others had left the southbound car the machine was started up. Sergeant Dennis McEhery happened to be one of the passengers transferring from the northbound car. As the crowd he was in walked around the street car, the northbound auto was driven through the street, forcing the pas- sengers" to flock to the curb for safety. Brand and his chauffeur were told to report to the police station in custody of Patrolman Leo Larkih. At the station Brand explained the mistake to Chief of Police Shaffer. He declared that there had been no inten- tion to run through the crowd tn'Vlo- lation of the ordinance. In apprecia- tion of the circumstances, Chief Shaffer allowed the Chicago brewer to go without being prosecuted. gj: I L08T HER POCKETBOOK. pilM»^L]fc_Jaitc1ienev--l»08â€"Chicago |gavenue, haa reported the loss of a llibiaek_ leather pocketbo-ok containing r£45 in bills to the Evanston police. is thontfit the parte was lost la the business district it »*Tis street.

Guinoy, representing the nlhstar New Zealand Rugby team, bluntly summed up his opinion of the brand of Rugby the famous All Blacks have encountered in America. As Rugby has been the official grid- iron game of Stanford, the University of California and minor Pacific coast colleges for the Mast eight years, the New Zealand expert's frank' criticism, bas had a dispiritnig effect. ' •â-  "It has been the experience of our teams that have visited the ,United States," he said, "that the American players -are; not content to rely upon before Police Magistrate Boyer of Evanston on charges of malicious mis- chief preferred by Special Officer Crowder of the Chicago and North- western railroad company. For sev- eral weeks, it 1b claimed, these youths have been making life miserable for the trainmen and passengers on the Northwestern trains by throwing stones at the passing trains. Several windows have been broken and pass- engers have narrowly escaped injury, from the missies. Several days ago the police learned the names of the youths and notified the parents through Probation Officer June Woods to report with the mis- creants in the Juvenile court in Chi- cago. No attention was given the no- tice by any of the parents and the lads were rounded up and taken to the Evanston police station. There Police Magistrate Boyer made plain the law and the charges against them and obtained the promise from the parents' that they would report in tho juvenile court or be liable themselves to prosecution. The names of the accused youths follow: Willie Muckets, 2021 Lake street; Henry and Andy Mackelinia, 1537 Fowler avenue; William Mickels, 2221 Lake street; Edward Sargent, 1423 Fowler avenue; Ernest and Hen- ry Arold, 1674 Dewey avenue; Harold Hansen, 1708 Lake street, «nd Werner Simbach, 1418 Ashland avenue.

George Kessler, an 18-year-old youth, who it is thought is mentally unbal anced, was picked up by Assistant Chief of Police Robert Johnston at Main street and Chicago avenue, Ev- anston, Saturday morning at 3 o'clock. He refused at first to give the police any information concerning his rela- tives, but finally stated that his home is in Glencoe. His parents were com- municated with and stated they called for him later. He had been absent from home for several days, according to a statement made by the mother. NEW MEMBERSHIP PLAN AT CENTRAL Y. M. C. A. Officials Decide Upon a Mem- bership to Interest Swim- mers and Bathers. * AN OPEN DITCH. Henry Gurtz, a driver for the Wei- land Dairy company, was slightly in- jured Saturday morning, when the wagon in which he was riding careened in an open ditch in the alley between Sherman and Elrawood avenues at Dempster street, Evanston. Gurtz was thrown against the side of the wagon and his ankle was -slightly bruised. It is claimed that some re- pair work is being done near the bakery in Dempster street and a small ditch was left open and unpro- tected by a red light Friday night. In one of the best battles between preparatory school elevens of the 1913 football season, the Evanston academy warriors held the Marquette academy team to a tie of 13 to 13 at Milwau- kee Saturday. The game was fea- tured by the unusual rally made by the Evanston youths in the last quar- ter, when all of the thirteen points were scored. The Evanston Central Y. M. C. A. has inaugurated this fall a new class of membership which will interest many young men in Evanston. For some time the Association has felt that there were a good many men living in Evanston whose occupation was such during the day that they were getting a large amount of physi- cal exercise. To these men the gym- nasium, classes did not appeal very strongly, but a great many of them, however, were interested in the bath and natatorlum privileges of the As- sociation as well as the social activi- ties. Under the old system it was nec- essary for the man to pay for all of the physical privileges in order to se- cure bath privileges at all. A new filtration and beating system for the natatorlum has been installed. Under tho old system the watej*\va» filtered only once a week, and the tem- perature varied considerably. The new system keeps the water at a uni- form temperature and pours freshly filtered water into the swimming pool for five hours every day. The' eleven shower baths give adequate facilities along this line. The -new membership, which is known as the Senior bath member- ship, will cost $5.00 less than full membership and will give to the mem- bers all bath and natatorlum priv- ileges, in addition to the religious and social features of the association. The creations of this new member- sblp Is just another step in the Asso- ciation policy of placing the privileges of the Association within the reach of all class en of men and boys. , The case against J. C. Behnke, the Chicago- druggist, who was arrested in jj«$aaston on a speeding: charge by OHer Devella Brooks, and who re- mfnBtrated against certain questions naked by the police sergeant when he %as booked, was dismissed by Police Magistrate Boyer Friday after- nodh. Behnke appeared with an at- torney and contested the ease, an In- cident* w£ich is unusual in hearings of speedirs. -Testimony given by Offi- cer Brooks and Behnke was^oaZT conflicting. Brooks claimed?!?* violation of more than ui». miles an hour. Behnke stated *u the last time he looked at hismwS' meter it registered eighteen mite^ hour, but that he might have ^ ? going faster when .stopped by theT liceman.
