the kids game in the past few
months declare he has improved more
than so per cent, and that he now
is as steady and smooth player as
either Warden or Ray. Tt is rather
extravagant to say that kid who
has been playing only few years
is as good as a brace of men who
have devoted most of their lives to
the game, but in rebuttal Ouimet's ;

golfing wonder-a type that is born

The English tournaments are con-
Quoted differently than the American
tournaments-and many believe that
the English method carries a big ad-
vantage for the Americans. In this
country elimination contests are held
prior to the real matches. No elm
ination contests are held in English

when the tournament opens.
1t is figured by optimistic Ameri.
can golfing enthusiasts that the
American quintet is strong enough to
eliminate, in the early match play,
some of the most dangerous English
players, and some are even hopeful
to the point Of prediction that the
finals may be fought out by tive
Americans.
Hererschoff, wonderful distance
man with the wood, is looked to by
the American contingent, to furnish
a mighty battle for every man he
meets. The same is true of Travers
and Schmidt. Travers, regarded as
somewhat weak driver, is looked upon
as one of the best putters in the
golfing world, and this, it is figured,
offsets any driving weakness.
Schmidt is held in high re gard-and
also in fear-by the English because
of the plucky fight he made last
year, and he ought to do very well.
Evans is brilliant player but in

around and familiarizing himself with
the course there. Fred Herreschoff,
another of the best amateurs ever
produced in this country, is over on

practicing, when not seeing the sight :,

showing in the championship battles
in England last year, will be in Eng

Dan Crawford. African Missionary

, contributions, and which the commit
tee desires to spread before the pub
lie:
March 16, 1914.
REV. ]. L. Vance,
Rock Island. Ill
Dear Mr.. Vance:
81 am very glad indeed to reply as
far as can to your inquiries regard
ing Dan Crawford. Mr.. Crawford is
not under any denominational board
but on the other hand, he is working
with a society in England which is
largely made up of Plymouth Breth-
rem. One OF their principles is 10
avoid the regular church organization.
In this respect they resemble the So
ciety OF Friends, but their missionary
work is done by a society, and il is in
connection with this society that Craw-
ford has worked. AS you saw him,
you will appreciate his Independence.
and as you have learned from him
of the character OF his work you will
realize how much latitude he would
have to have in his work. Even David
Livingstone, In order to carry on the
exploration work which opened up the
heart OF Africa, had to sever his con-
nections with the Presbyterian board
of Scotland, that he might have the
latitude which he felt necessary In
doing his work.
Mr.. Crawford has a treasurer In
England, but We have not forwarded
the funds direct to the treasurer, for.
warding them, rather. to his publisher.
the George II. Doran Co., in New York.
who in turn forwarded the funds by
draft to the treasurer in England. The
funds which he has received will be
largely administered under his own
supervision, although held by this
treasurer. In all my relations with
Crawford. however. have found him
in money dealings. and
should not. IL had a large sum to
give, have any hesitancy in placing
1t in his hands. feeling that he would
use 1t wisely. and with his familiarity
with the needs In that region in which
he works. make the most careful use
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-03-24

Of it. In all his 1abors here 1 have
noticed his careful economy not to
indulge in any luxuries, and he has
labored unsparingly.
Before Mr.. Crawford came to this
country he was recommended to me
by leading editor OF England, who
wrote me that the two archbishops
of the Church of England. and many
of the leading churchmen, had presid-
ed at his meetings In England and
endorsed him, while the British and
Foreign Bible society had published
his translation of the new testament,
now having in hand second edition
From the Congregational board in
this country l learned through DR..
Cornelius Patton that missionaries in
Africa had written the home board re-
garding him, and of his having disap-
peared into the very heart of Africa.
OF those VINO have seen his work 1
imagine that there are necessarily
few, for the very fact that he spent
his life during the last twenty years
in country which has not been WIS.,
tied by many whites. and where mis-

be argued that neither Moline mol
Davenport has one, but why, for once
can we not take the initiative and
start an agitation?
why can we not combine our three
great needs-a public comfort station,
a public rest room for women and a
public waiting station? But where,
you ask. Rock Island is peculiarly
fortunate IN having an ideal location
one that at present is going 10
waste and mars the civic beauty OF
/ our main thoroughfare-I refer to
Market square. Every car line in the
city passes this point, the real estate
belongs to the city, so there should be
no trouble about the site.
CAS- to the building, would the Tri-
city Railway company be willing TO
cooperate in such a movement? Pub
lie utility companies seldom spend
money for the comfort of patrons I'M
til public sentiment demands II. When
the Tri-city Railway company was
granted its long term franchise. prac-
tically no conditions were imposed.
But does the fact that We have no
club to hold over it lessen its obliga-
ton? 1t does not. This company
owes us a great deal, but only by
arousing public sentiment. and by our
city doing its utmost, can we obtain
from the street railway company what
is our due.
after having studied conditions, It
seems to us that such building could
be erected. building having the first
floor a public waiting room, with pub
lie comfort stations in the rear for
men; the second floor, a rest room for
women, with public comfort stations
for them.
81 should like to ask that every
member of the department give this
her earnest thought, and to have the
subject kept before US and agitated,
for Il will take that"

At the time OF the visit recently
of Dan Crawford, missionary to Africa,
to this city, decision was made TO
build and endow one of the number of
mission schools in the heart of Africa
to be known as the Rock Island school.

terington was appointed to undertake
the raising OF $500 necessary 10 build
the school. This committee is now en-
gagged In soliciting funds for that pur-
pose and the workers are meeting
with much encouragement. Two
questions have been very properly
asked by persons interested enough TO
consider the committees request for
contributions: first under what au-
spices does Mr.. Crawford carry on his
work, and in what manner is the par
ticular fund for these proposed schools
to be administered?

ROCK lsland, Ill, March %
Editor The Argus :-Communica-
tons relating to a waiting station on
Market Square have recently been
printed in your paper. We would like
10 state that the program OF the civic
department OF the woman's club Of
Rock Island, issued in June, called for
three papers on comfort stations on
the 14th OF November, from one of
which. written by Mrs. w. NJ. Walker,
II will be seen that the agitation OF
this important question antedated by
several months the letters recently
published by others.
Extract from Mrs. Walkers paper:
The program committee has asked
that, in addition to the public comfort
station question, that OF a rest room
be handled l shall just touch on that
at present We have no place where
employed women and girls can go for
a few minutes rest and relaxation at
noon, no place where the tired shop
per, from some of our surrounding ter
ritory, can go TO relax and wait for her
car and perhaps let her child rest or
sleep.
speaking from humane stand
point, we need such a place. The
Y. W. c. AS meet this need in most
cities. You are all familiar with the
methods Moline and Davenport en-
ploy.
From a commercial standpoint It
would be OF benefit. The out OF town
shoppers in FOR a day do not go to o
hotel. but were some place provided
where they could brush up and rest,
wouldn't they come more often and
stay longer. thus spending more mon
ey in our city?
In order TO get at what seems to
us who have spoken on the topic to-
day, the way to ultimately adjust this

need, and that is a waiting room With
