Landscape Gardening, Prairie Avenue HIGHWOOD, ILLINOIS Women Good Drivers Says Motor Club Head "Women may take their seats right alongside the men as good automo- bile drivers," thinks Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "Women are not always good drivers, but the same thing can truthfully be said of the men. The average woman driver is very considerate of other drivers; she is much easier on a car than the average man, as she usually pays strict attention to the renewal of the oil, the putting of water in the bat- teries, and is more likely to have minor adjustments made that may save ex- pensive repairs later on. Women are said to be more careful about locking their cars, too. "A woman is usually more cautious than a man, but where this care is carried to the point of timidity then, of course, traffic delays, and possibly accidents ensue. Good drivers, wheth- er men or women, keep their normal place in traffic. Cars which do other- wise--which cross from one lane to another, or which are continually pass- ing other cars--are responsible for many accidents. This is where the motorist who holds the center of the road while proceeding at a slow rate of speed comes in as a distinct hazard. He holds back a long line of cars, which cannot pass on the right, and, in order to pass on the left, are obliged to turn out into the path of traffic com- ing from the other direction. Too much cannot be said against this type of road-hogging," continues Mr. Hayes. "With our present system of narrow roads, the increasing number of motor cars, and speed limits gradually being increased or removed entirely, going from place to place can be accom- plished with pleasure and safety, only if every driver is a good driver." Scouts Add Camp for Veteran Boys to Owasippe Group The Veteran camp, one of the seven Owasippe camps belonging to Chicago, will give a great deal of pleasure to the north shore Scouts. Though it is new and not yet as popular as the others, it is well organized. The camp is founded for Scouts fourteen years of age and over who have been to an organized camp be- fore. It is divided into four units of which the Scouts are given their choice--Foresters, Seascouts, Indians, and Pioneers. The Foresters live in tree houses and specialize in nature subjects. The Seascouts live in waterproof tents and specialize in water activities. The Indians live in tepees and study Indian lore, and the Pioneers live in Adiron- dack shacks with an open front and live like pioneers. At the camp is plenty of swimming, rowboating and canoeing for every- one. There is abundant fishing, and the camp has just purchased a new sailboat in which every Scout is given an opportunity to ride. Many hikes are planned, as well as baseball games, horseshoe contests, and athletic meets. Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Pervier, 567 Chestnut street, are leaving next week for Little Cedar Lake, Wis.

Mr. Wilson and the children came back from the East last Wednesday but Mrs. Wilson stayed on for a short visit in Portland, Maine. / i i ve Ra you?
