Alfred Runnfeldt, an experienced ground keeper, is again in charge of the Playfield course. Changes in Registration Several changes in method of reg- istering were effected this Spring. Among these is the registration of non- resident players and guests for the purpose of maintaining an accurate check of the number of persons using the course. Another change is a new system of listing by the starter of tag numbers of residents and ticket num- bers of non-residents to establish the order of starting play, thus avoiding complications existing under the former system. 2 Trent is Starter Comeron Trent is to be in charge of department, and all countries respond- ed with the exception of San Salvador and Hawaii. The delegate of the United States, appointed by President Harding, was Mrs. Joseph E. Bowen of Chicago. Lady Astor, Honor Guest The guest of honor at the conven- tion was Lady Astor, who had come' from England at the invitation of the League and who spoke a number of times during the convention to large and enthusiastic audiences. Other distinguished people who entertained the delegates to the convention, or who spoke before them, were Presi- dent Harding, Secretary Hughes, Sec- retary Hoover, Secretary Wallace, Senator Capper, Sir Auckland Geddes, and Mr. Charles E. Merriam of Chi- New Headquarters Women of this village and others representing leading Cook and Lake county women's organizations, will be the guests of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union Friday afternoon and evening, May 19, from 3:00 to 5:00 and 7:00 to 9:00, when its new headquarters building at Ev- anston will be opened to the public for the first time. The work of the National W. C. T. U. so increased and outgrew its old administrative headquarters that a new building was built in the world- famous backyard of Rest iCottage, Frances E. Willard's historic home. The National officers and the editorial «taff of the two papers are .now from its own treasury. The North Sewing Guild has also sent a check. The Camp Fire Girls have plans under way for raising the funds for constructing a fireplace in their room. Striking Endorsement Perhaps the most striking endorse- ment has come from the young men of the Triangle club. The club is made up of fellows just starting in busi- ness--with limited incomes--yet they were the first to show a tangible evi- dence of self-sacrificing interest by surprising "Chief" Davies with a $250 check. "We think so much of what Com- munity House has done for us," they told the '"'chief," "that we thought we ought to earn some money that would help toward the new plan." of the present emergency. A High Precedent Particularly impressive are the let- ters from former Winnetka residents. Many have testified as to their new appreciation of Community House which a distant perspective has brought to them. How the effect of Community House tells upon residents of other places is evidenced by a sub- scription for $50 which came volun- tarily from a Chicago man who is employed in a local activity. Were he willing to have his name known, this gift would set a high precedent "he to for others far more able than he spare 3 y 4 The canvass ig surance to everyone that in doing f { Fai re aki gh : 2 OL} go.

Early this week the Hostnicks left the village to spend a week with rela- where final preparations will be made for the extended continental tour. A few days later the party will embark on a Norwegian steamer at New York. The first stop is the coast of Nor- way from whence the tourists proceed to Germany, visiting for a time at Hamburg and Berlin. There, it is proposed to purchase an automobile which will be the convey- ance for the remainder of the journey scheduled to take the travellers through practically every country on the continent. They will be away for four months. The contemplated visit to Palestine will not be definitely de- cided upon until the party reaches southern Europe.

Charles Schroeder, who had been a resident of Winnetka since 1867, pass- ed away at the Evanston hospital, Thursday May 4. Funeral services were held Monday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. J. Fischer, 394 Chestnut street, and burial was at Graceland. Mr. Schroeder was one of Winnet- ka's oldest settlers, coming to the village from Saxony, Germany, 55 years ago. He was for a time employ- ed at the W. H. Garland place, now owned by Mrs. T. M. Johnson, but later learned the meat cutting trade purchased the old Kinghans shop cn Linden near Elm street. He conduct- ed business there until 12 years ago when he retired. The building was razed last fall to make way for a pro- posed modern market and apartment structure. Mr. Schroeder had been in poor health for two vears prior to his death. A stroke of paralysis, followad by a severe attack of pneumonia, proved too great a strain upon his reduced vitality. He was 73 years of age. BS rviving Mr. Schroeder are his widow, three daughters, Mrs. George Morong of Virgilina, Va. Miss M. H. Schroeder, of Washington, D.
