The first scene rayed a group___of . sweet _ girl Back to the Farm Is Unanimous Vote Of Our Policemen graduates on their last day of school, all planning for the future and think- ing of their parting of the ways. It was an American girl's school and three of the four girls were going to their homes in the far corners of America, while the fourth was about to return to her parents who were missionaries in, what her roomrmates called, "That awful India, where there were no street cars, no houses, ^- jugt little mud__nuts,â€"wnere_ijap was not neejjed as there were al- ready twenty-two Lanes there and that was enough." But Bab did return and after seeing w her own eyes the dreadful need of doctors, arid women doctors par- ticularly, decided that her place was there with those poor ignorant peo- ple, rather than-back^in New York where she had planned to become an Interior Decorator and where her greatest desire was "to save a fat old millionaire from the disgraceful disaster of serving cakes with orange iceing in a magenta red wall paper- ed room."

That is to say, if one were to take census of the aims and aspirations of these husky gentlemen, one would, no doubt, be greeted with interesting data depicting broad acres of rolling prairie land, crops of the bumper variety and stock, we mean live stock, that would put the Interna- tional Amphitheater exhibits t<T shame. â€"Not contentâ€"with dreaming, how* ever, several of our good policemen can show something of farm-life, though Jn__miniature. For example, Chief of Police Sie- ber, who owns a real farm in Michi- gan, devotes his spare moments to bee culture. He's been in this edu- cational activity for 30 years and, 'tis said, is quite some expert. Assistant Chief Samuel Hoth keeps a flock of prize poultry, has been an amateur canary fancier, and has even experimented in the raising of hfgh-bred- dach shunds.â€" Motorcycle policeman Peter Schae- fer recently acquired a 120-egg capa- city incubator from which he expects soon to derive -a regular, flock of chicks. 4 o_ / Albert Borre, possesses a oO-egg capacity incubator. He lost a brood of chicks-in-the shell recently, but expects to fare better on a current incubation. „ And then, to top it all oftV every policeman in the village has his own back-yard farm* They'll be ready when the ship comes in.

He fell ill with pneumonia two weeks ago, aggravated by serious complications and a weak- ened heart condition. Captain Rand's is a picturesque career typical of the sturdy New Eng- Jand-mariner*- Hailing from a familyâ€"-1 of seafarers he experienced ed his first duty aboard ship at the ^cndc^age of terrycarar when, at the ~ death of his mother, he became a constant companion of his father, then pilot of an ocean-going vessel plying between New York and the West Indies. Captain Rand, who was born in Southport, 'Me., an island, spend practically all of his 54 years on water. While his family has lived in Wilmette at 511 Park avenue, since 1902, the captain, except in the clos- ed season was almost continually aboard ship. He learned the business from his father who was an ocean pilot for oyer 26 years. Changes of Venue and Continuances Keep Interested Parties Busy Traveling North Shore Changes of venue and continuances feature the now celebrated case of Perry vs. .Schroeder which was to have been heard in Justice Falk's court but was taken, at the request of the complainant, to the sanctum of Justice Arthur S. McKenna of Ken worth where, again, at the request of the complainant, the hearing was con- tinued until Tuesday, March 8, at 4 o'clock. The case, in which Paul Schoeder, north shore realty operator, is charged with assault on the person of F. H. Perry of Glencoe, said to be over 80 yearsof age, was first brought into magistrate D. M. Mickey's Wil- mette court. Schroeder took a change ot^v^fTOTTo~tiSsTice Fafk~and~asfced a continuance. All that happened two weeks ago. A week ago Schroeder was granted another continuance by Justice Faik. The case, in which Paul Schroeder, ,______________ ___ tered suit before Justice Falk to ob- SUPERSTITION MAY LEAD Captain Ran^*SfiirWBrifche ocean for the Great Lakes in 1886. He had been a captain since-M96V- For the- past nine years he was connected with Brown and Company of Buffalo, N. Y., and piloted its largest ore vessels. He was for several years president of the International Ship Masters' association. Captain Rand could boast of some fighting stock in his family, his great- great-grandfather having fought in the war of the Revolution under Gen- eral Washington. Captain Rand is one of the real heroes in the annals of "sailing" his- tory of The Great Lakes. Friends re- call the incident of several years ago when, encountered by a raging storm on Lake Michigan, the captain "stay- ed by the ship" until the pilot house----- was torn from the hull. He swam a mile and a half to shore only to turn back into the churning waves upon sight of a member of his crew cling- ing helplessly, to a piece of wreckage. He saved the man. The strenuous ex- perience weakened his heart -and, it may be considered, hastened his' death. ^ Stays By the Ship A few years ago .Captain Rand again played the hero in a thrilling drama of the seas when, in the line of duty, he remained aboard ship alone fighting flames which cleared the ship to the water's edge. Captain Rand, is survived by the' widow and five children, Arthur, Rowland, Albert, Beatrice and Harold.
