3lo Month Amateur Title Euent Attracts Crack Golfers
CHICK EVANS DRIVES
INTO LEGAL BUNKER

CHICAGO. August 9.-Chick Evans.
formerly national open and amateur
golf champion, drove into legal bunk
er>yesterday. but expressed confidence
in his ability to recover with the same
dexterity he exhibits on the golf links
when he drives into a sand trap. APP
plication was made before Judge
O'Connell of the municipal court for a
summons to have Evans show why a
warrant should not be issued for him
on the charge of failing to make good
check for $500 given eight months
ago to Charles j. Moore, with whom
the golfer is said to have dealt in a
transaction on the board of trade.
Evans was out of town, and a post
ponemelt was taken until next week
to allow the defendant to appear and
show why he was not obligated as
charged by Moore's attorney. Moore
asserted that Evans had given him the
check for $500 and had agreed to take
care of the sum when the paper was
returned for lack of funds. The COM
plainant said he had not been able to
collect the sum since, and wanted
Evans arrested. Friends of the golfer
said that they would show Evans had
done nothing wrong.

origin in the most delicate fantasy.
The name Is derived from the Persian
and is assigned the pearl as its own
particular jewel. the idea originating
from the beauteous notion that the
oyster, rising TO the surface OF the
water az night and opening IT'S shell
in alteration. received in its mouth a
drop Of dew CONCEALED by the moon
beams into pure pale gem.
Because a pearl Of price is associated
with the pearly gates of the Celestial
City. Margaret has been the name
given TO innumerable saints in the
various countries of the world. Gre
mona adopted il TO represent its al
legorlcal character OF maidenly limo
cence and purity. Hungary accepted
II also and Margaret Etheling, wife of
Malcolm Ceanmdr, took II to Scotland
and made IL the national Scottish
with the daughter of Alexander LII
and slipped into Germany as Mar
garethe. The eldest OF the heiresses
of Provence married 81. Louis and left
Marguerite to French princesses. Her
niece. the daughter of Henry III, was
the first English Margaret. In Italy,
the name BECAME Margherita, and
through the penitence of Margherlta
Of Cortona. which led TO her canoniza-
tion, and because Of her humility, the
daisy, the hunhlest flower of the field,
became her especial symbol and was
called by the French term "mar-
guerlte."
Marjorie. Malsie, Madge. Meg, Mag
gle, Peggy, and May are some Of the
English contractions of Margaret. The
French Margot and the Spanish Mar
garlta and the Italian Ghita also are
derivatives.

BY wearing her natal stone, the
pearl, the bearer OF the name Margaret
will fulfill the promise of the gods
which gives her purity, charm, and
affabllity. Monday should be her lucky
day and Z her lucky number. To
dream of pearls signifies faithful
