This committee li Instructed to arrive at some conclu- sion on the nine-hole plan after con- sulting with tbe owners of the land, and report back to the membera in a general meeting four 'week* hence, on Saturday evening, August 23. Tbe committee Is composed of H. B. Lawrence, chairman; J. M. 8. War- ing, Frederick Arnd, C. Fred Yegge and W. W. Ross. Sixty Attend Session. About sixty men members of the dab attended the meeting Saturday night and for more than an hoar and <m*b»lf discussed the predicament which now confronts them In main- taining their present quarters. The ssjthnent of the majority of the mem- â- \m in the meeting showed that the present quarters should be retained , em if it become neoeasary to make a ^AJMtole golf conrse. The proximity eif tbe grounds to Bvanston and importation lines make it lmpera- itrt, the members argued, to keep the grounds. â-  Mrs. Esther A. Eeltler, owner of the land upon which tbe club house is located, as well as the locker room, ihe first and eighteenth green and the second tee and hole, remalnanrm is her demand that the property must to vacated on the termination of the lease, October 1. She refuses to con- sider any negotiations for a renewal «t the lease and furthermore insist* that the will claim the property erect- ed on tbe land according to tbe terms in the lease. This last feature I* not worrying the golf club member* to any extent The club building Is a cheap *troe- tare and did not coat more than nm. Purchase of the land from Mrs. JMuer is out of the ojtestion because •he demands $100 a front foot for the holding. She own* 8€0 feet front* *H on Rids* areas* which would wan an outlay of 188,000 to the club.

Through the generosity of Mrs. John A. Jameson, of Hubbard Woods, the village of Winnetka now has an Bdlson pulmotor installed for use to resuscitate the victims. The dona- tion we* made last week and the life- saving machine Immediately placed in the.flre station in that village. A tele- phone call to Winnetka "O" will bring the pulmotor for drowning, asphyxi- ation or any other accidental case, where there is a spark of life left. The.gift by Mr*. Jameson probably is one of the most practical donations that could be made to a village, especi- ally to a municipality on the lake shore. Being the mother of three sturdy sons, Mrs. Jameson told a rep- resentative of the Lake Shore News that she felt? Impelled to make tbe gift so that it would be possible to revive victim* of Lake Michigan and in other accidents. "My son* like to go In bathing and I feel much safer when I know that the' machine Is accessible. I suppose that the mother instinct prompted us to make the gift, but I want every- body to use and get all tbe benefits possible from tbe machine." Such thoughtfulness la seldom witr nessed a* is shown In the donation by Mrs. Jameson. She ha* already re- ceived the thanks of scores of citi- zens for providing the costly machine and'no doubt she will be repaid on the first instance it is put in use suc- cessfully. It ie the only life-saving machine along tbe north shore at present, between Highland park and Bvanston. However, Wilmette ha* a lung motor ordered, which will be in- stalled shortly. A test of the machine was made Saturday night at the Winnetka vil- lage hall before the physicians and an Interested crowd of villagers. It worked perfectly. SOCIETY WOMEN CLOSE COLF MATCH North shore society nocked to On- wentsla club at Lake Forest Tuesday and watched Mrs. Bruce Smith and Mrs. B. S. Moore win the one-ball women's foursome. Although the sun was beating down on the golf course, nearly half a hundred pairs played for the cup. Mrs. Stanley Keith and Mr*. J. M. Ely were runners-np. An interested spectator was Mrs. Hendricks Whitman, tbe daughter of Hobart Cbatfleld-Taylor, who la here from New York to spend some time with her parent* at their Lake Forest home. Before Mrs. Whitman wa* mar- ried and when she was Mis* Adelaide Chatfield-Taylor she was one of the leaders of the younger social set of the north shore. Women at Lake Forest are improv- ing their game, according to experts on the course. Mrs. Smith and lira. Moore won the match yesterday with their excellent drives on th* last two holes. The score of the winner* wa* 65 net, and Mr*. Keith and Mrs. Bly played around in S7 net Going tothe eighteenth hole, Mr*. Moore got a beautiful straightaway drive and Mrs. Bly played the second shot well up to the green. A good approach shot won the match. Mrs. Smith 1* consid- ered one of the best women player* on the course, and she was forced to enter the tournament yesterday with- out a handicap. FATHER DROWNS DIVINC FOR BABY Frank Zlmmer of Chicago, who ha* been a patient at the Moody Institute fresh air camp near Braeslde, north of Glencoe. with bis S-yesrold son, Brooks, was drowned Saturday after- noon in the lake near Braeslde. jZUnmer took a plunge in the l*k* In the afternoon.

SHORE DRIVE IS PLANNED Object Will Be to Keep the Beautiful Roadway to Be Turned Over to Lincoln Park Commission- ers, Near Lake Front. The route which is proposed for the new Sheridan road, to be turned over to the Lincoln park commlaslon- ers under the act passed by the leg- islature this summer, was tentative- ly decided upon Friday afternoon. Member* of the city council, repre- sentative* of the Citizens' committee, appointed by Mayor James Russell' Smart, accompanied by Francis T. Simmons, president of the Lincoln park board, and General Superintend- ent Lewis, went over the route with •even automobiles Friday, begin- ning at the end of the new cement pavement, which has been put in at the south end of Calvary cemetery, and going over the route to the Wil- mette boundary line. New Route for Road. If the committee follows its inten- tions evidenced in this meeting,' it will recommend that the road follow the shore line east of Calvary ceme- tery and that a portion of the private- ly owned triangle at the north end of Calvary be condemned ao as to make possible a wide curve at that point. The route will then pro- ceed westward to the present Sher- idan road and run north to the inter- section of Main street, thence north- ward through property now enclosed by private residents, which will have to be condemned so as to mane a straight route north, following the shore line back of the Burnham prop- erty, turning west at the end of Greenwood boulevard the width of the present Lake Front park. Here there will be a large reverse curve, bring- ing the route on to what is,now Sher- idan road at the southwest corner of. tbe C. G. Dawes home, and continuing along the present route of Sheridan road to the city limits. ' Before the dty council can pas* an ordinance giving the Lincoln park board Jurisdiction over Sheridan road, the committee'-In charge will secure frontage consents of a majority of the privately owned property front- ing on th* street1 It Is understood that the large frontage owned by the city will not count in securing the frontage consents, hat the mile and a quarter of frontage owned by tbe Northwestern university will go a long way toward the required ma- jority, and tt is thought that there will be little or no difficulty In secur- ing the majority consent*.

After this Is done, th* dty council will be called In special session dur- ing tbe summer vacation period to pa** th* ordinance turning: over Jurisdiction to th* Lincoln park board and then an assessment will be Railway Company Issues Bul- letin Condemning Hobbles and Tight Skirts, ., ' , i ,. To the thouiawt and one evils that have been laid at the door of the high heel and bobble efctrt, the Pennsyl- vania railroad now adds a few more, in declaring (hat these adjuncts to woman's dresi are Chiefly responsible for the injuria canned In women fail- ing from trolley efrs and tumbling down the steps at | the railroad sta- tion. 1 This Is not a wlloT statement, but U made after a& investigation of vari- oua accidents to women covering a period of three months and accounts for seventy-three individual cases. The Injuries ranged frost, alight contusions to painful sprains and cuts, and in al- most wtry can* .the contributing cause i* put down as "Heel caught on step of car and was torn off' or "High heel caught while descending stairs; wore hobble skirt." Observations oi this character are made in the book of instructions just Issued by the Pennsylvania company to its employe! and intended to be a guide to them in preventing accidents as much aa powlhle. Now, Instead of watching the step, they will watch the hobble, to try to forecast whether Its wearer Is getting ready to tumble down a long flight of steps, if she Is, then the employe must try his best to catch her.

From the figurant obtained by the railroad company, nine out of ten ot the person* who have been injured in the railroad itttlous have been women. Their injuries range from slight contusion! to broken legs. In almost 90 per cent of the accidents the cause ha* been either that the women wore high heels or that they had such tight akirt* that tbjry could not halp themselves.' t*% Ruth St. Denis, Who Is Appearing During the Inter- missions!

Four troops, representing the third squadron of the Fifteenth cavalry, left Fort Sheridan Saturday for Win- chester. Va., where they have been ordered to congregate for the express purpose of working out the German formation of double rank in mounted drill, a movement which the United State* cavalry htf never attempted. This 1* considered aa important in- novation and eipertesent in military circle* in this country, and the adop- tion of foreign tactics may date from this maneouver at Winchester. These tactics have alwirs been carried out la tha American irmy in single rank. With the departure of the cavalry there remain* an even grocer'* dosen to guard the post. This is the near- est the fort ha* ever come to being de- serted. In other words, these twelve men will have charge-of the quar- ters and will be la care of the work formerly done by tome 2,000 regu- lars. No one seems to know when tbe spread to rai** sufficient rand* to put p^ wm be occupied again by troops. the road in shape, after which spe- l{ the rumor* circulating from Wash- Ravlnia Park la proving a great crowd-drawing enterprise. Bach af- ternoon and evening since the open- ing the crowds of music lover* have far exceeded those of former seasons. Last Saturday and Sunday the park held the largest number that has vis- ited it since the days when the Ben Greet player* performed In the open air on th* program with th* New York Symphony orchestra, But in those days it waa probably the bargain at* traction that drew tbe numbers, tor when the Ben Greet players were the sole attraction there were many empty seats, as proved true when the New York Symphony orchestra was unassisted. This year there also has been a double attraction. At the opening of tbe season the Chicago Symphony or- chestra and the Baroness von Rotten- thai were on the bills, while now Ruth St. Denis 1* helping the popular Chi- cago organisation to fill the pavUlton. The dancer appear* without th* usual crew ot supernumeraries and elaborate stage settings always pres- ent In ner vaudeville engagement*, and after the audience had ftnumed cheering an impromptu encore set to Victor Herbert'* "Al Fresco" she must have wondered why she bed spent her good money for all these accessories when a green plush curtain, all that tbe Ravinia stage provides, served a* well. ' Miss St Denis is an Interpretative dancer who has all the thing* which all the other dancers who come under this much-abused title have and she ha* many things which they lack. The engagement of Miss St Denis ends Sunday night, July 27, and on tbe same evening Mr. Stock will make his last appearance this season. On the Monday evening following, tbe first of the grand opera excerpts will be given when the company under Slgnor Parelir* direction wig give scenes from "Lucia," with Mile. Jen- nie Dufau aa the soprano. On Tues- day evening -Thais," and Wednesday evening "Madame Butterfly" wfll be given with the ever popular Lois Swell in tbe title roles. Thursday evening Mile. Dufau will appear ta "The Tales of Hoffman," and Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings there will be repetitions of "Lucia," "Ma- dam Butterfly" and "The Tales of Hoffman." The company engaged in- cludes Mr. Louis Kreldler, Mr. Leonid Samoloff, Mia* Florence Mulford, Mr. Louis Fein and Mr. Win. Shnster. The Wednesday evening dances are also proving popular affairs and scores of young people are taking ad- vantage of the opportunity offered them by tbe Ravinia club to dance in the cool Casino ball room.

He I* a Progressive. Mr. Schramm Is also a member of that party, and has been active In New Trier politic*. Miss Schramm waa not sorely dis- appointed when she failed to qualify for the political test. "We consider It more of a Joe* than anything eme," she said laughingly, when asked if her father was going to press the ap- pointment.
