Library Club Is at Work on Two New Enterprises NIQUE in the work carried on by a woman's club on the north shore, is the new venture of the civics department of the Woman's Library Club of Glencoe, which is expecting to conduct a night school during the coming fall and winter. The first step the committee will take tc finance this new enterprise will be a benefit bridge given on the after- noon of September 11, at the home of the club's president, Mrs. William A. Fox, 585 Longwood avenue, Glencoe. Several years ago a night school was run by one of the teachers of the Glencoe public school, with great suc- cess, but it was discontinued when she left. A need for such a school is still felt, and the school board is very desirous of its establishment. Other departments of the Library club are working enthusiastically in their new Gift and Thrift shop, and are preparing for a Rummage Sale September 4, 5 and 6. One of the features of the shop will be a circulating library, and orders for magazine subcriptions will be taken.

Jonas, Mrs. John Caine, Ben Huggins and Ralph Boozer; Mrs. Frank Wanner won the putting contest for women, with Fren Lenzen and A. D. Collins tying for the men's prize; Mr. and Mrs. Banning won the match against par. The players all had dinner at the club at the conclusion of the afternoon's match.

Plans were made for i Garden Show to be held September 12, A tour of the members' gardens was made. The flowers were very attractive and their beauty was only a little im- paired, considering the most unfavorable weather. Golfers in Championship Play at Indian Hill Club COMBINATION of a slow course and mosquitoes was not conducive to golf at Indian Hill on Wednesday of last week, consequent- ly the Flag tournament scheduled for that day was put off. This week's match was to be decided by choice of partner's score, and in addition, the qualifying round of the club championship was to be played off. At press time the golf committee had not decided upon the event for the com- ing week. Sunset Ridge Plans for Guest Day, September 2 UEST Day, once postponed be- cause of rain, will be held on Tuesday of the coming week, ac- cording to the present plans of the golf committee. This week the quali- fying round of the Sunset Ridge champ- ionship was played off, with Miss Vir- ginia Ingram having the lowest score. She also won the approaching and putt- ing contest. Test Shows Efficiency of America's Manhood In the civilian military training camps of 1923 a test of his physical efficiency was given each of the 22,000 young men attending. Four events comprised the test--100 yard dash, running broad jump, running high jump, and bar vault. Spik- ed shoes and special athletic uniforms were barred. The score in points rang- ed from 120 points for making the 100 yard dash in 11 seconds, a running broad jump of 19 feet, a running high jump of 5 feet, 2 nches, and a bar vault of 6 feet, 6 inches, down to 20 points for the same events, with results of 15 seconds, 9 feet, 2 inches and 3 feet, 8 inches, re- spectively. Each participant was given a score in points and as each state was represented in attendance in ratio to its population, it has been possible to establish a physi- cal efficiency rating for each state as represented by its young men averaging slightly over 18 years of age, who at- tended the camps. The average score for the United States was 51.9. Arkansas led among the states with a score of 67. Second and third high scores went to Kansas and Arizona with scores of 65 and 64, respectively. The west, central and southern states topped the list, each of these groups scoring 55. The New England states scored 50, southeastern states 51, and east central states 47%, and eastern states 45% points. DAWES' COMPOSITION WINS PRAISE ABROAD Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, al- ready well known in Czecho-Slovakia, attained further recognition when Milan Lusk, a Wilmette violinist tour- ing Europe, played the general's Melody in A for President Masaryk at the latter's summer residence. In commenting on the piece, Mr. Masaryk said: "Gen. Dawes' composition is the logical successor to Humoresque. America has produced a man whose vision is as large as your country. Only America can produce a man big enough to see a method to cure Eu- rope's ills and at the same time de- velop his esthetical side to a point where he can produce a noteworthy musical composition." Mr. Masaryk has ordered his priv- ate orchestra to play the piece daily and it is predicted the Gen. Dawes' composition will sweep the country. KENILWORTH HAPPENINGS The Kenilworth Garden club will hold its first Garden Market, Sep- tember 19, at 2 o'clock, on Mrs. Charles Ware's lawn, 325 Abbottsford road.
