The generous response on the part ot the members for money io build a new caddy house brought In some $2,200. The building Is completed bow. It has concrete floors, a large assembly room, good locker space, office, shower baths and a hot water plant. Half rates have been secured for cuddies on the railway. Sport for the Boys. n. C. Preston, a young man in his third-year work In a Y. M. C. A. train- ing school. Is In charge of the welfare of the caddies, lie has been able to eliminate from the service a number of undesirable characters and to in- augurate forms of organisation and arrangement tor sports which have al- ready secured the interest and co- operation of the boys. Here are some of the caddy rules: Caddies shall not lag behind. Caddies should stand in-front of the •layer. WATCH THE BALL. Deliver to player any golf balls found. Take their turn at the flag- I Stand still and keep quiet while anyone is playing. Stop "Private Caddy" System. Tho committee in charge of caddies ask that members refrain, as far as possible, from employing so-catted "private caddies." Such employment keeps boys idle who might be available for other members. It also keeps .the boy on the look-out for what he calls his "private member." It is also un fair to regular boys, because it gives the so-called- special two chances, one In the regular list which Is drawn and one if bin private member arrives, whereas a regular caddy takes his turn. Members are also asked to assist in keeping outside boys off the club grounds. Caddies are expected to re- main at the caddy house or on the playground when not engaged. .There are other boys who roam the course endeavoring to find golf balls and who injure property. Many of these boys remain in hiding at the edge of the course and endeavor to pick up balls as they may.. - Get Good Money. The rate Of pay Is twenty cents per hour. This has been supplemented by a monthly money premium to be paid to the regular caddies who earn it. In this premium plan the leading boy is paid |6, two are paid $4, four S3, eight $2 and ten $1 each; ft total of twenty- live boys and $51. The boys are graded. by attendance and behavior. Members are asked hot to "tip" caddies, but to turn such gratuities into the caddie rand. Members are also asked to set a good example tor the caddies by treating them as companions and as- sistants, rather thannmrvants. The caddie committee Is composed of An- gus 8. Hlbbard, chairman, and James C Hallsted and Charles P. Whitney. members.. The Wilmette Improvement tion has acted favorably on the sug- gestion that all citliens of Wilmette be urged to trim the trees on their parkways to a height of ten feet, as is required by a village ordinance. Low hanging branches screen the lights so that their radius of illumination la in very many eases hut a tew feet, and the weakness of our poor system of lighting is made more pronounced. Trees with branches reaching close to the ground make blind comers which are ft serious menace to traffic and which have been responsible tor some of the recent accidents to pe- destrians. -. And perhaps moat serious of all, branches which hang low over side- walks have ruined many a charming millinery creation, resulting in sad wear and tear on perfectly good diB- poaltlons (not to mention pocket books). *'. EVANSTON FIREMEN AID WILMETTE MEN Station Three Helps Extin- guish Blaze in Neigh- â- . boring Town. The Evanston Are department went outside of the city limits Monday to fight a Are. The Wilmette depart- ment had a blaze at the home of H. A. Hooker, 626 Gregory avenue, which they could not handle.. The Evans- ton department was asked to aid.

Monday afternoon, so the story goes, Mrs. Hooker and her two chil- dren, Philip and Richard, were look- ing in the basement tor some toys. They carried a candle with them.

If they have the price they go to the movies. While I have some objection, to some of the pic- tures they see there, tho main objec- tion is In the character of the men and boys they meet there, who readily take advantage of a girl who has no home to go to. Some ot the em- ployes of the picture houses persuade these girls to Walt at night until the show Is over on the pretext of show- ing them what is behind the scenes. Mas Done Mush Good. "There was an imperative demand for some place In which these girls, unfortunate rather than delinquent, could find a temporary home until they could be placed to something more permanent To meat that I was able to rent a flat at 366 Homan ave- nue, near Van Buren street, which has now been to use for a year and has done a great deal of good.

"When these girls come into my court they nearly always have no other clothes than those they are wearing, and are naturally dirty and unkempt. This, alone, would make It impossible for them to be taken into any home, even it they could Iâ€"cure a situation. At our flat they are given a warm welcome and clean clothes, bathed and put to a clean bed after having been fed bounti- fully. "When they leave, after two or three days of this care, to take a peel* ticn we have found for them In some home, they are changed girls.

Shortly after 5 o'clock she came into Justice Beyer's court and an* nouneed to the judge that she had been arrested for speeding. Oscar waa with her, twirling his can in his hands, and allowing Mrs. Harrison to conduct the defense. She said when she hired Oscar two years ago, that she told him If he was ever arrested tor speeding he would be obliged to pay the fine. Further, he was a care- ful driver, had never before been stopped by tho police, and silo thought possibly the speedometer was to blsme. "When did you have the speedom- eter tested last?" Inquired the judge. "Oh, I don't think we ever thought of doing thnt," said Mrs. Harrison.
