Plans for a clubhouse to be erected in Chicago as the Robert E. Franks Memorial for the American Boys’ Commonwealth, sponsored by the Young Men’s Jewish Charities, are practically completed. The late Jacob M. Franks left $100,000 to provide a memorial to his son, part of which money will be devoted to the clubhouse and the balance to be utilized for improvements for Camp Wooster, at Round Lake, Ill., where boys from congested districts are sent during the summer for country outings.
