WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 19 ADVISE BOYS ON LIFE WORK Evanston "Y" Has Yourself" Week "Find Plans for the annual "Find Yourself" week set for February 2 to 9 and which is held each year for the boys of the north shore at the Evanston Y. M. C. A. were formulated recently in a meet- ing where a number of prominent men who are engaged in a wide variety of occupations took part. The purpose of the week is to give the boys assistance in discovering what they wish their life work to be. Talks, interviews with men in the pro- fessions they are considering, discus- sions of the various general and specific fields to which they may find themselves attracted and the ways and means of preparing for the various kinds of work will be thoroughly dis- cussed during the week. Offer Counsel Those boys who have not yet had the benefit of such a week will be giv- en the first opportunity to get the ad- vice and counsel of the large corps of men who have volunteered to help in the program. Last year a similar week was held from which the boys derived great benefit. The unusual develop- ment of the boys' work during the past year has, however, left a large number who have never had this help. One new club every two weeks has been the average kent up at the Y. M. C. A. Boys' department during the past few months. The rate is con- tinuing, bringing the facilities of the "Find Yourself" week within reach of an increasing number of youths. The meeting last night was presided over by William Eastman, chairman of the committee. Among those who will assist with advice and talks to the boys are: C. H. Fischer of the Illli- nois Merchants Bank; C. A. Cok, real estate operator; G. R. Folds, of the Cook Flectric company; H. J. Spoerer, of the Youngstown Steel and Tube company; H. M.

BANDITS ROB MAN IN HOUSE Speed Away in High-Power- ed Machine Ben Erickson, who lives on Happ road, Northfield, was robbed of $110. Monday evening by two bandits who gained entrance to his house by ask- ing the use of the telephone. When he granted their request they tore the telephone from the wall and pointed guns at him, demanding the money. Mr. Erickson, who is employed at the Van Deusen Grocery and Market, had just returned home for the even- ing when two men appeared at the door asking if they could use his tele- phone. He allowed them to enter and while one of them tore the instrument from the wall the other covered him vith a revolver. They then demanded his money, and asked if that was all he had. At first they took his watch. but later returned that. While the robbery was in progress Erickson heard a car pull around the house and stop at the back door. When they had taken the money the robbers ran out the rear and leaped into the machine which sped away before Erickson could get a clear view of it in the darkness. The momentous story of the last stand of the cattlemen against the onrush of civili- zation, and their final drive across the border with 100,000 head of cattle.

They are of the opinion that someone, aware of the fact that Erickson fre- quently carries large sums of money, planned the robbery, and probably drove the car, while confederates who were not known to the victim entered the house. The bandits were describ- ed as short and heavy-set men. Mrs. Thomas Mclaren opened her home at 1004 Pine street on Friday af- ternoon for a card party to benefit the Pine Street circle.
