Considerable interest is being stirred just now in the villages of Kenilworth and Winnetka in a war against the mosquito. Action has been taken by the members of the improvement association in the former village which points to a thorough campaign against the poisonous pests this summer. In Winnetka the village officials have Fraser Hats of, Winnetka, who Is known in golf club circles as a "comer" on the links, and who won honors -farseveral j«imi*H«1-«*a»cai hereabouts last summer, baa for Sandwich, England, where he will compete In several contests which will be held there next month, ' The splendid work of the Winnetka golfer and the promise of his rise in golfing world were set_f) those villagers who will "clean up" around their premises. Assistant j signed article by "Chick" Evans, widely known Chicago golf expert. In a Chicago morning paper Monday. Tho good words about Male follow: , "Fraser Hale, the tall young mem- ber of the Edgewater and Skokle Golf clubs, left Monday . for Sandwich, England, where the British amateur championship is to be played. I wish hhn godspeed' and" the best of good Months ago he told me that he State^ntomologist McJfiHen visited that place recently and suc-l^^^^^^^^ ceeaed in arousing much enthusiasm in the mosquito war. He pointed effort to make the trip possible, for out that the only* way to combat the disease bearing insects was to do whether a golfer wins or loses in the awajrOTT «he breeding and hatching places. Instead of nurah ■*-* J** ^JSTJSrSi lands being the only places where the mosquitoes breed and multiply, tive haunts, will add much to his he clearly demonstrated the possibility of hordes of the insects breed- knowledge of the game. "Never before has America been so well represented in the British ama- teur by a large body of the best Amer- ican players as It will be this year at Sandwich, and Fraser himself Is one of the finest examples of the young American golfer. He Is a young fellow, pleasant mannered and modest and bound to make friends wherever he goes. Fraser is about the age of Francis Ouimet and his business is the same. "Now as to his golf game: It is very good Indeed. He had the mis- fortune to come along at a time when a crowd of Chicago boys was Just whooping It up. They were trfder than Fraser by from two to six years, and this had given them something of a start, but always he has come very close to beating them. This big opposition at the very beginning of his golfing career has kept him from winning many championships, but It has given him a good deal of tourna- ment experience and developed for him a consistently good game. "Last year was his best season, and he gave several of the finest play- ers In America, notably among them being Walter J. Travis and Warren Wood, the scares of their lives. I understand that in spite of the forced inactivity of the winter hi mg in a small quantity of stagnant water in tin cans and other recep- tacles left in ash heaps or refuse piles. The small pools on poorly drained lots also are choice breeding spots for the mosquitoes. The treatment of crude oil on these small stagnant pools quickly kills the "wigglers" or mosquitoes in embryo. Wilmette residents have experienced invasions year after year by the winged pests. Since the movement has been started in other ad- jacent north shore towns, why would it not be a good idea to make the extermination plan general all along the shore in this section. Clean up your premises and keep them clean. Abolish every possible ^breeding place of the mosquito and see how quickly the nuisance will be abated. The entomologist experts declare that mosquitoes seldom travel farther than 500 feet from the bleeding places. Therefore if every resident in the block in which you reside will join in the plan and keep his .premises clean, the troublesome pests will not be so -numerous-as-has-been the case in former years. £ rH $ || WHY NOT INVESTIGATE CROWDED CARS HERE? ■-.( An investigation has been started by the street railways commit- tee of the city council of Chicago, into the crowded conditions on ; street cars and elevated trains in the city. Reference has been made >). to the jamming and packing of the stuffy, ill ventilated cars with hu- l\ manity as "immoral" and it is hoped by the city solons that they can ; force some improvement in the poor transportation facilities there. :??- Surely the word "immoral" clearly describes the conditions which ••;, exist on the Chicago and Milwaukec"electnc cars during the Tush J hours of each day. The crowding of these interurban cars until pas- sengers ariCjeompelled*o stand upon the steps and some of them upon I:' the iron frame work outside, of the vestibule or platform is one of the ..,[, most flagrant violations of the franchise under which the road opcr- • ates in Wilmette. Scores of lives are in peril each day by this crowd- ing* to say nothing of the point of immorality when women and young girls are packed in the aisles like so many sardine a in a box, m against men and youths. '■;■■: ' Certainly the transportation problem in Wilmette lu^ i^j.cd a stage where it should be solved and that immediately. Soi.ie one has ";.. suggested that the matter should be taken before the I'ublic I Jtilttics H Commission, but it seems that such action is unnecessary, a.> the vil- I lagc officials have ample p#wer under the existing franchise t<> older , improvement in the accommodation to the patrons of the line m Procrastination is the thief of time. Why procrastinate longct in H this most important matter which concerns all Wilmette and red ■"[/.".dents of other north shore towns in this immediate vicinity? * * $ I ENCOURAGE BOOK READING BY CHILDREN £: In the news columns of this paper last week, Mrs. Ei.»..,., »\i 1. t die presented an unusually interesting article dealing with ih , «ul- f drens' department at the Wilmette Free Public library. She t< Id of 1 the splendid books available at the library for the little foil and concluded her story with an appeal to the parents to watch the iead- r; ing of their children before they reach "the dime novel age." 9 Many object, lessons have been given of the ill effect of the -time novel reading. A large number of convicts in every state penal insti- 1 tution can be found who were started in their criminal career by the evil influence of the lurid cheap novel. When good, clean book-, can be procured free of cost from,such an excellent list as fills the shelves I at the local library, every youth in the community should be nmn- T^ererl^morrg'theljbrarv-palrorn>. * !r~-?'
