Now that Route 57 is open, motorists can go from Niles Center directly into the heart of Milwaukee without being held back by the congestion in the va- rious lake shore towns. Heretofore a motorist starting at Niles Center could travel without in- terruption north on Waukegan road, east to Green Bay, north and northeast into and through Waukegan, thence north through Zion City, Kenosha and Racine to Milwau- kee. A pleasant drive but not direct and - uninterrupted. But now a driver need not turn north- east into Waukegan but may continue straight north on 57, and except for one or two very little towns or groups of houses and except for a very few hardly noticeable turns, shoot straight north to the Cream City. It's a beautiful drive. Long stretches of broad concrete highway with no steep hills Direct to Milwaukee to climb and yet with ascents considerable enough to break the monotony of flat country. Without breaking the speed laws you can get from the north shore to Milwaukee in a couple of hours. One of the most recent and most bene- ficial of all social movements is the girls' camp movement. Boys have had their camps for many years, but it Girls has been only of later years % that the idea of an open air, in Camp tent life, exclusively for girls, has found good soil spread. There must be much of the aboriginal in human beings that they should almost with- out exception long to get back to nature. Water, air, and earth are congenial to the human animal. His whole nature thrives when in close and continued contact with these primary elements. Man was apparent- ly not made to live cooped up in buildings away from the open air. The lives of boys and girls when in camp are normal. Sleeping in the open air with only such protection from the weather. as is necessary, eating under the same condi- tions, working and playing next to nature-- all this is good for young people. The regular daily program of the north shore girls who went to the various camp- ing places, is calculated to produce healthy "bodies and minds. A mere reading of the program is interesting and suggestive: Set- ting-up exercises, morning dip in lake, flag raising, breakfast, putting tents in order for inspection, discussion, noon meal, making of various things, rest period, hikes or games in afternoon, supper, meeting around the camp fire. Could your daughter spend her summer Nobody is safe nowadays. Even if you're standing on the sidewalk doing nothing more harmful than looking into a store win- dow, a panicky driver may Innocent pilot his car up onto the side- walk and project y ou Bystanders through the window. Your car may be standing at the curb, peacefully parked. But another crazy motorist may take off one or two wheels and pass on without telling you what he has done. You find out later. You may take the utmost precaution. You may avoid crowded streets. You may hold out your hand even when under normal conditions no car could cut in between you and the curb. You may in the evening park close to the curb and turn on your parking lights. And yet somebody may get vou. But you will have the comfort of knowing that vou have done the best you could. We are at present in the great Northern Woods not far from Traverse City. As we type these lines we see just outside our casement window a The Northern little group of silver birches, a clump of Woods tall cedars, one won- derful white pine, and a stray hemlock or two. We can hear, though from where we are seated we cannot see, the waters of a beau- tiful inland lake, over twenty miles long and a mile or two wide. The lake is fed by springs mostly and yet on warm days is fine for swimming. Way off to the west is our old familiar Lake Michigan. If we climb a wooded hill back of our summer acres we can see that big body of water and off on the horizon the Manitou Islands. A day or two ago the weather was hot! H-o-t! If it was any hotter on the north shore we're glad we weren't there. But just now the north wind is blowing and a brisk fire on the hearth is not displeasing. We do no fishing ourselves, but we did see yesterday a genuine photograph of a man holding up a 33 pound pickerel! This is no fish story. We hate lies and like ex- aggeration only in poetry. And we didn't catch the pickerel. The human element in our neighborhood, excluding the resorters, is hospitable and unspoiled. The men, mostly farmers, are in no hurry and city people often find them exasperatingly slow. The resorters are much like ourselves, somewhat pale, a lit- tle tired, and enjoying their outing. We get up at the same time as down south. We retire with the birds. We spend the day working, eating, swimming and whatever other activity seems suitable. People at home for the summer are hav- ing good times that people away in the country are not having. For example, va- cationers in the country can see no good baseball games, can hear no really good music, can see no worthwhile plays, usually sleep in poor beds, are often annoyed by bugs and other small animals. So don't envy too much those who are not at home for the summer. The distribution of flowers to the sick and needy of Chicago is a fine work. It takes a sympathetic imagination to know what flowers mean to the sick and shut-in, but it takes much more than imagination to do the work involved in gathering and dis- tributing the flowers. Ld - SHORE LINES a - 4 FISH STORIES EAR MIQUE--Maybe you won't believe this, but it is a true story. I'm out to the golf club and one of the fellows hooks me for a round. I'm not anxious to play him, not because he isn't a good fellow but because he thinks that if he tries shooting left and right handed alternately long enough he's going to find out which is "his game." You know how that sort of opposition usually turns out, and how it effects an opponent. Well 1 am putting up with it nobly until we reach the edge of the third green. There he halts and reaches in his pocket. He pulls out a knife that has a blade like a stiletto. I'm wondering if he's figuring on carving me because I'm a couple of strokes ahead of him. I'm only a few feet away and I won't turn away, because that would be dangerous, I figured, so I watch him. He kneels on the grass and amputates a little weed which is in front of his ball. I tells him maybe the rules don't permit such amputations, but he tells me its all right. Well, we played the eighteen but my first peek at that stiletto had given me a chill and froze my game. If you don't think so I'm here to tell vou that he licked me. He was two strokes and fourteen weeds up on me at the finish. --THE OLD PLUG.
