The pur- Jase was made just after the Kenil- lorth Realty association bought the pd Golf club property at Kenilworth >r the purposes of subdivision. The new 18 hole course, which is ling constructed on the land, is the j>ork of Captain C. H. Alison of De- merit.

W. ©ach- n, superintendent in charge of con- viction, who has been with him for eral years. Although the North Shore club operty totals 170 acres, the new urse will cover but 150, leaving 20 jr,es for other purposes. This gives course totaling 6,500 yards and one at is 25 to 50 acres larger than gen- ally found. The plans provide for attractive, snappy, up-to-the-min- e course differing from anything in e neighborhoodâ€"for this is Captain lison's first large undertaking in is locality. $65,000 is the estimated cost of con- ructing the course, including the -airways, traps and bunkers. A com- lete water system is being put in, ith a deep well, 60,000 prallon tank nd an auxiliary tank for the club house. This system, though it will ost between ^0*000 *««^ $35^)00, will uarantee an adequate supply of pure ater throughout the season and will ut the club in an independent posi- pon with a minimum cost of pro- uction and upkeep. Big Force at Work Construction work on the course is rogressinj? surprisingly fast, say ffffnembers of the club. "Very sarisfac= ry", say Captain Alison and super- tendent Bachman. The . present orking force includes 36 men, 25 or teams and drivers, two tractors nd a steam shovel. The contractor nd his gang are clearing the fair- ays through the woods with dyna- ite.

BY OBSERVER Ladies and gentlemen, count among the wonders of the north shore Gloed's Sunken Gardens just east of the Northwestern university athletic field at Evanston and extending from Central street, Evanston to Isabella street, Wilmette, The garden is open to the public of the north shore with- out charge every Wednesday even- ing from 8 until 11 o'clock, entrance to this beauty spot of nature being on Central avenue at the driveway into the Gloede estate. We visited the gardens this week but our vocabulary seems too meagre to adequately describe the beauties of the place. Under the patient di- rection of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gloede, founders of the garden, we were treated to the spectacle of a glorious array of floral treasures. Every American flower is repre- sented in the garden, Mr. Gloede in-, formed. There is a beautiful and stately flower, the Delphinium, or Larkspur, as it is commonly called, which is Mr. Gloed's specialty and favorite, and which his skill has given beautiful color schemes. (Incidentally, Mr. Gloede was elected a member of the famous but exclusive Burbank club as the result of this splendid creation). Then there are gorgeous settings of Japanese Iris, in its many forms; Pyramid Ivy, a very scarce plant in America; varied spec:imens„of_Arbor Vitae, cedars and blue spruce. Attention is called to the "Straw- berry-Raspberry plant", the scion of a clever drafting process counted among Mr. Gloede's many notable achievements in the realm of flori- culture. Finally, we must mention an oddity in these parts. It is the remnant of a tree said to be approximately 600 years old. In its prime this tree, known as "Pottawanamie" (Indian for "Giant "Spirit") boasted a height of 165 feet and breadth of 7 feet and had second and third "floors built in it for children's play houses. It was "aken from its native forest home about seven miles west of Evanston. Mr. Gloebe's pet hen (weight 23 pounds) employs the tottering giant &.&-......a- roost. - :r • *,. ""-â€"" You are invited to inspect the Sunken Gardens any Wednesday evening. It will surely be worth your while. WOULD SPAN UNITED STATES The smaller units of a telephone plant are easily overlooked-,- but taken in the aggregate they reach stupen- dous totals. As an example, the short cord which connects the receiver to the ordinary desk set or wall set averages about two feet and a half. However, if all of these cords in the United States were joined, together they would provide more than enough wire to construct two-wire circuits from New York to San Francisco. | Where to go s Where to stop IThe I In jthe Village Theatre Building Chocolate I Cunningham V Ice Cream and Ice*.

There is a good sized fleet of boats available to the guests. The grounds of the hotel are exceedingly picturesque and contrast- ing. Tennis courts, golf links, etc., are ready for us. A committee constituted by the three Companies three years ago began a search for a resort that could be de- voted to the pleasure and recreation of the people employed by them. Many places have been examined. The Lake Lawn hotel was finally selected. Its name will probably be changed. The rates charged employes are lower than those existing when the place was Conducted as a resort for the general public. A great many of the employes have taken advantage of the opportunity for healthful recreation involved. In fact, the rooms in the hotel are in active demand and most of the time they are engaged. This situation will be particu- larly true as to the coming six or eight weeks. .
