Triangle-Ince Play, "The ' "Clodhopping" promises to be the new dance craze as done by Charles Ray in the roof garden scene of the new Triangle play, "The. Clodhop- per," written by Monte M. Katter- john and produced under the super- vision of Thomas H. Ince, which will be shown at the Hoyburn theater, Monday. To pass from the obscurity of Bumpkinville to bright lighted fame on Broadway in three days and three nights is the dizzying sensation that Ray undergoes as the Clodhopper. He becomes a celebrity of Lobster square largely by virtue of his eccentric dress and his ability to execute a curious dance. The most spectacular scene of this Ince production is the New York roof garden with its runway over the heads of the audience, its candle lighted tables, surrounded by ultra fashionable women and their male companions, and a Jazz band play- ing the frantic music to which Ray and his much press agented "billion dollar beauties" clodhop about the stage. After their performance the guests also try the "hop" on the cleared floor space. The gawky country boy, who was turned from home by a penurious fa- ther, earns enough money to save this same father from financial dis- aster and to gain the controlling stock in the village bank. ' Margery Wilson appears as Ray's country sweetheart. Others in the cast are Thomas Guise, Charles French and Lydia Knott. EE Es Re Good to Eat Ginger Cream Soup. Four tablespoonfuls butter, 3 table- spoonfuls flour, 3 cupfuls milk or milk and vegetable stock, 2 teaspoon- fuls salt, 14 teaspoonful ginger, 1 cupful of any cooked vegetable (as carrots, peas, celery). ™ Make a white sauce as follows: Melt the butter, add the flour .and ginger; cook until it bubbles; add milk (or half milk and half water- in which vegetable was cooked) gradually, stirring constantly. When all the milk is added, season with salt and pepper, and add the vegeta- bles chopped fine or forced through a sieve. Heat and serve with crou- tions. Left-over vegetables may be utilized in making this soup. LR 0.0.0 Canadian Rice. Two medium-sized onions, 1 table- spoonful lard, 1 cupful rice (un- cooked), 6 eggs, 1 teaspoonful salt, few grains cayenne pepper, boiling water. Slice the onions and fry them for a few minutes in the lard until they start to brown; add rice and stir often till rice is golden brown. Pour on two or three cupfuls of boiling water, add salt and cayenne pepper, cover and cook for one-half hour, adding more water as it is needed. When the rice is done remove cover and let it get almost dry. Put in a buttered casserole. Make six hol- lows in the rice and break in the eggs, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and cover and put in the oven for a few minutes till the eggs are set, but not hard. Serve at once. pe En Gingerbread with Whole-Wheat Flour. One-quarter cupful sugar, 4 cup- ful shortening, 1 cupful molasses, 4 cupful milk, 4 tablespoonful ginger, ¥% teaspoonful cinnamon, 2 eggs, 2 cupfuls whole-wheat flour, 1 tea- spoonful soda, dissolved in 4 cupful hot water. Cream the sugar and shortening, add molasses, spices and eggs; add alternately milk and flour until one cupful of flour is used. Dissolve soda in very hot water, stir into the mix- ture and lastly add another cupful of flour, stir well, pour into a greased baking pan and bake slowly for one- half hour, 008 Pay for Soldiers. The Canadian Pacific has an- nounced that it will allow all em- ployes who enlist in the United States army or navy six months' sal- ary, payable monthly, provided they cross the sea. Upon their return they will be given their former or similar positions. = EE Es If they are sufficiently urged to in- crease crops, the farmers may patri- otically decide to go in and make a fortune for themselves. WINNETKA MEN WILL ATTEND TEXAS CAMP Candidates for Army Commissions From This District Have Been Assigned to Leon Springs. CHIEFS SEEK OLDER MEN Lathrop Collins Will Give Informa- tion on New Camp. for Rookies. The first five weeks at the Officers' Reserve Training Camps throughout the country are past, and already the government is laying plans for six- teen new camps to be held in the southern states from August 27th to About December 1st. "More men over thirty-one years of age" is the cry of the War Department in ask- ing for volunteers who can qualify as officers. Men whose executive experience and business ability es- pecially fits them to be leaders are wanted for the first five hundred thousand of the New National Army. Applications for men in Winnetka are in the hands of Lathrop Collins, chairman of the Military Training Camps association. "But how do the older men stand up physically under military train- ing?" is the question on the lips of every man between thirty-one and forty-one years of age, whe consid- ers it his plain duty to enlist for the three months' training camp. "How do they take the gaff?" To answer this universal query, I traveled out to the long, low line of wooden barracks at Fort Sheridan where five thousand future reserve officers are quartered. I started to find some older men-- and I looked, and looked, peering into sunburnt faces with little dark mus- taches, following khaki clad figures that swung along the roads to the Post Exchange. "Older men? said to myself. young fellow. There aren't any!" 1 Then 1 stopped a "How old are you?" "Forty-three," he replied stared at me, wondering what affair it was of mine anyway. "I used to be an army man," he said, when I told him my mission. "Had an ankle shattered in the Phil- ippines years ago. Haven't done a tap of physical work for seven years --but I can go through these exer- cises like a kid of twenty-one. Oh, yes, it was hard the first three days. I was stiff and sore and lame. But in just two weeks after I struck this camp I never felt better in my life." "Say, it's not cold today!" he said, standing there in rolled-up sleeves, shirt unbuttoned at the neck, while I turned up my coat collar and started off to find an "older" man. Then I was introduced to one of the regular army officers in charge of a company of rookies. "We've got a young company," he told me. "Average age only twenty- four; but there are older men here, too. Just look at this list." All Occupations. I ran over the occupation cards and saw the names of twenty men over thirty years of age. Here was an electrical engineer; next a farm- er; then a salesman; one man owned a big apartment hotel in Chicago; then followed a mining expert, law- yer, civil engineer, writer, public ac- countant, and so on down the list. "Well, can these men keep up with the boys?" I asked. "Every one of 'em," said the cap- tain. . "Why, this training puts the 'men in better physical shape than ever. It's bound to do it. Most of them gain weight out here. x "Now, we want more of the ma- ture fellows for the next camp. This is in no way a reflection upon the younger generation enlisted in the present series of camps. The govern- ment realizes, however, that young men can rise from the ranks, com- peting for commissions with their fellows. But older men are not so likely to become leaders in this way. Consequently we _ want those over thirty-one to have a final chance to qualify as officers by means of these last training camps, opening August 27th. . The young men from the schools and universities have responded and are making good. Now, the govern- ment gives older men their chance through this last Officers' Training camp. Mr. Lathrop Collins, 1239 Scott avenue, Hubbard Woods, is in charge of the local officers' recruiting head- quarters. % and -3 Unclaimed Letters Winnetka, Ill, June 27, 1917. No. 1. E. S.

Al-: though the water is still somewhat too chilly for bathing, many of the children went in wading, and the swings and slides were as popular as ever. It has been decided not to rebuild the high dive which was broken down in the heavy storm last season. In- stead a large raft will be floated, on which it is intended to erect a five-foot tower as a substitute. There will also be a smaller raft nearer shore for the little ones. The work of erecting the life lines is now in process and will be completed by the end of the week. Lifeguard M. Anthony, recently of the Wilson avenue beach, is in charge, with Mrs. L .Hilton as matron. And now all we want is some real summer weather. 0-00. §_| HONOR ROLL CASES WILL BE PLACED IN WILMETTE The roll of honor of Wilmette's young men in service will be con- spicuously displayed by the general staff of the Home Guard, which has voted to erect suitable waterproof cases containing parchments on which will be inscribed the names of the men in service. These cases will be placed near the Chicago & Northwestern railway sta- tion and the elevated terminal at Linden avenue and Fourth street. WILMETTE FARMERS TO SUPPLY CITY FRIENDS Plan to Send Surplus Vegetable Crops to Chicago People. Mrs. Jacob Tyssowski, 1630 Walnut avenue, plans to save any unneces- sary waste of garden produce in Wil- mette. The practical plans suggested by Mrs. Tyssowski would result in furnishing many poor families in Chi- cago with fresh vegetables. "It 'is 'not' charity' at' all," Tyssowski said. "It is simply a prop- osition of making use of the surplus crops in our gardens, that are not suitable for canning or preserving. "Major Tyssowski takes the pack- age of garden truck I prepare each morning to the city on his way to his office. He gives the vegetables to his stenographer, office boy or to some person living in the crowded districts, where gardens are pro- hibited. "It seems to me to be a feasible' plan that this simple method might situation seems to warrant such action, this work might be incorpo- rated in the working program of the Woman's Corps or the Farming Battalion of the Wilmette Home Guard." .
