They expect to go to Switzerland first and at Christ- mas time will spend two weeks in Paris. improved North Shore Is Plea of Dr. Rogers "Sobriety, simplicity and sincerity are still the qualities which must carry the gospel to the new world," the Rev. Arthur Rogers, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, Evanston, told the northeastern deanery of the Episcopal clergy Monday at its fall conference held in Holy Comforter church, Kenil- worth. "Religion today," he said, "is troubled by an abundance of freaks, fanatics, poseurs, propagandists, egoists and ex- ploiters. The new cult of publicity keeps us informed of their activities, their virtues and triumphs. One after another they tell us they are the minis- try the world needs. But they are mistaken." The Rev. Dr. Rogers returned re- cently from his summer vacation at Newport to resume his leadership at a ------------ St. Mark'.

HAHN INCORPORATED 1617 Sherman Avenue Greenleaf 2700 EVANSTON Rogers Park 5115 Him ini Breakers Beach Members Talk Over New Building Program Plans for the clubhouse the mem- hers of the reorganized Breakers Beach club will build on its lake shore site in No-Man's land were dis- cussed at a meeting Tuesday evening at the Haven school. With the taking over of the club by a corporation headed by W. L.. McKay as president of the board of directors plans for the twelve-story hotel build- ing proposed by the original promoters have been abandoned. Now the mem- hers are planning a building with dining, dancing, card rooms, lounge and lakeview esplanade and accommo- dations to cater to swimming in the summer. Later billiard rooms, bowl- ing alleys, handball courts and an en- closed swimming tank will be added. The board expects to finish the entry and grounds around the build- ing with driveways, parking space and landscaping and make it an attractive spot in general. The organization headed by Mr. McKay took over the club recently when the proposition of the orig- inal promoters had nearly failed. Six hundred of the 2,000 members were called together in Evanston and the facts laid before them. They voted an assessment of $250, which the board deemed necessary to carry on. John Brooks was made treasurer of the club and the Central State Bank was appointed trustee of the building fund. Mrs. Charles A. Liddle Hurt in Auto Accident Mrs. Charles A. Liddle, 235 Linden avenue, Winnetka, suffered painful in- juries Sunday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock, when her automobile overturned as a result of a collision with another car driven by Benjamin Bills, of 700 Greenwood avenue, Wilmette. The ac- cident happened at the intersection of Twelfth street and Lake avenue in Wil- mette. Mrs. Liddle was going north on Twelfth street and Mr. Bills west on Lake avenue. Mrs. Liddle was taken to the Evanston hospital, where her in- juries were treated. Bills escaped with minor injuries. The cars were badly damaged.
