WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 11 EVERY OFFICER AN ATHLETE. U. 5. PLAN Go in Strong for Training Men Physically Washington--"Every officer an ath- lete" is the big idea behind the train- ing of the future generals and admirals of the American Army and Navy to- day. At Annapolis Rear-Admiral Henry B. Wilson, superintendent, is backing every midshipman to tackle as many forms of sport as his talents permit. At present of the 2,200 future naval officers more that 1,800 are "out" for some athletic team. Besides the popu- lar favorites of baseball and football, there are track, basketball, lacrosse, hockey, swimming, fencing tennis, boxing and wrestling teams at the academy, so that the cadet has a wide | field of operations. Sports have become a past of the curriculum at West Point, the army's school. During the four-year course of training the cadet is required to devote a certain number of hours every week to a regular schedule of various sports, similar to the range at Annapolis, and including among others polo. The routine gymnasium train- ing is carried out at both academies in addition to the various athletic com- petitions. The underlying idea, of course, is that if every officer is a qualified ex- ponent of several forms of athletic training when that officer has com- mand of a group of men later he will be an interested and capable leader in their recreation as well as in the field of war. YOUTHS THRIVE ON LOST GOLF BALLS Hide in Grass; Grab "Wild Ones" Pittsburgh, Pa.--Golfers on the Mu- nicipal links have just come into their own through the aid of Superinten- dent of Parks George W. Burke and Magistrate Tensard Dewolf, of Morals Court. A pernicious practice of cad- dies and other bad boys has been stopped. Since the season opened this year golfers who hit the ball out of sight or off the course have been obliged to say '""Good-by!" to those balls. But in a few minutes the cad- dies or some other kid would sell the "lost" ball back to the golfer fan for ten cents. Superintendent Burke de- AUBURN BEAUTY-SIX 7-R. Continental Motor $1695 F. O.

BRIGGS Evanston 140 1549 Sherman Avenue | installed an X-Ray machine | clares that a lot of boys hid in the, bushes or tall grass and grabbed a good many balls and resold them over and over again. It developed into a thriving business and a costly nuisance. Henceforth all sellers of balls will be arrested if they cannot prove an honest title to same. Golfers buying stolen balls will be barred from the links. "And anybody brought before me in this connection I'm going to give a maximum sentence," said the Magistrate.

Modern tools were used by pyramid builders, indications shownig they worked with solid and tubular drills and straight and circular saws. Cantilevers Are Restful Shoes for Men and Women We all complain about uncomfort- able chairs. And yet it is less tiring to be seated than to stand. If all people would exercise the same haste in selecting comfortable shoes as they do in securing the most comfortable seats, there wouldn't be enough Canti- lever Shoes to go around.

It is contended here that abuses creep in because of the chance to pro- tect a horse and of giving the oppor- tunity for claiming after a race is run and a horse's form disclosed. In the middle west a horse must be claimed hefore a race for his entered price plus the gross value of the purse, but must run in the interest of his original owner in that particular | race, .
