Why, then, should we ex- pose these children to a danger which in particularly menacing at this time of the year by allowing unmuzzled dogs to ran the streets? The attending physician recently called our attention to two instances where children were bitten by dogs in Wilmette. While It wan not definitely known that the dogs were mad. as a precautionary measure the victims warn given the treatment which is usually administered in such cases. ' This was, approximately a year ago.

THE PROTECTIVE AHSOCtATIo£ Although handicapped-by a small membership and Insufficient funds, the North Shore Juvenile Protective asso- ciation, as is shown by their last re- port, is doing a great work. The five villages represented In the association (Wilmette. Ken II worth, Winnetka, Glencoe nnd Highland Park) with their combined population of nearly -twenty thousand people have many things In common which can be dealt with to the best advantage only by or- ganised effort, and It Is indeed, sur- prising that the total membership of the association Is less than five hun- dred. It.is hardly probable that the other residents are Indifferent to the needs of the community, but they are Just too busy with other things to In- form themselves of local conditions. One of the great attractions of re- siding oh the North Shore is the free- does not believe in letting this pes- tiferous "bird of prey" grow up to become an obnoxious and sanguinary member of society. The mosquitoes with which we are most familiar belong to what is known as the inland species, and are by no means as dangerous as some of the species found in other latitudes, especially in tropical countries, but they are, nevertheless, if not exactly dangerous, unqualified nuisances, and all that can be done to rid the com- munity of them should be done. We are told by men who have made an exhaustive study of this subject dom from the evils and dangers of the tnat mogquitoes propagate only in Methodist Episcopal Church. , The pastor, Rev.

Judging from the superintendent's re- port or the one hundred and sixty-six cases acted upon during the year, such a* indecent vaudeville, literature, songs, letters, films, etc.: disorderly conduct in public places; illegal sale of liquor, cigarettes, etc., and other nameless cases, it would seem that even In exclusive communities condi- tions are not 'always ideal. ft As the president. Ralph R. Louns- bury, specifically states in his report, "It is not the purpose of the associa- tion merely to repress existing public evilsi, but it is seeking to protect the future of our young people by pre- venting in advance the advent and growth of conditions menacing'their welfare before such conditions can be- come common........This work 1b primarily one of self defense--the first taw of nature lor communities as well as individuals." About $2,500.00 a year is needed to carry on the work of the association effectively. This would make It pos- sible to continue the employment of a paid resident superintendent who can give his entire time to the work. If you will give your moral and finan- cial support to this work which may be of vital interest to your own Immediate family, you will not only bo looking after your own interests but you will help to place the organi- sation on such a financial basis that it will be enabled to do the greatest food to the greatest number of people. # rl- '■¥. HAH FIDO A MVZZLK* Whether you like it or not, the or- der is out. An edict has gone forth from the Village Hall as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. 3___Jf your dog is roaming the streets to I day without a muzzle, don't be sur- I prised if he fails to nmrn tonight. For the Village Fathers liavc spoken: "Any dog found running at large after July 10th in the streets or alleys or In any public place in the village of Wil- mette, without a substantial wire or leather mu«le. securely put on, will be killed by the police." ~ This doesirt necessarily mean that your dog won't be home for supper, hale, hearty and hungry, for this may have been his lucky week, but we want to Impress you with the fact that you are taking a btfipchancc, or rather you are allowing your dog to take thlB chance. Whether or not this edict coincides with your views matters not, a village ordinance says that during certain months to the year your dog must wear a muuzzle and it's up to you, as a law abiding citizen, to observe this ordinance. Investigation his proved that. only about one out of every twenty families in this village own stagnant water, consequently it we watch every receptacle In which water can accumulate, draining it off when possible, or pouring oil on it when draining is impracticable, we would soon be rid of this Insidious warrior, since the matured mosquito lives but a few days at the most. While the bite of the mosquito is not. In itself, necessarily a dangerous thing, it often, through Infection, be- comes so, especially among children. Since "an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure," and since we can with but little effort or expense safeguard our children and ourselves against continued annoyance. If noth- ing more serious, we should certainly make that effort. <■ -{■- * / /;/• VJ' A LIii l.N The only business man who is wear- ing a smile these days Is the Ice man.

Thrifty Chinese Farmers. While our farmers throw broaic-t handfuls of grain on the harrowed earth, offering rich pasturage to pil- laging birds and rodents, the China- man, after furrowing the earth with his wooden plowshare, without turn- ing It, crumbles each lump In his hands till It la like fine powder.
