WILMETTE LIFE April 5, 1929 ¥E TO SUBURBS NOW GENERAL IN AMERICA Search for Air, SansbiDe and Space for Play Lares Families to Suburban Areas America is moving toward the suburbs. What's the answer? Thi·3 shift in population is noted particularly among families with children. Is the search for air, sunshine, space for play or privacy? The answer, says :Myrl E. Bottomley, in the April Child Welfare Magazine, is very likely all of the'3e, "but in the conscious mind of every suburbanite is the appealing idea of gardening. Interiors of houses," adds Mr. Bottomley, "can be nearly as pleasant in town as in the country; the outside makes the difference." Mr. Bottomley, who io3 associate professor of landscape architecture at the University of Cincinnati, has prepared a special article for the Better Homes number of Child Welfare Magazine, the official organ of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. His article is one of a ·.;eries edited by Better Homes in America which will be used as the basis for discussion in programs to be conducted in more than 5,000 communities during Better Homes Week, April 21 to 27. These programs are a part of the nation-wide educat_ional campaign being conducted by that organization, which ha·.; been headed since its organization by President Hoover. "Beautiful and pleasant surroundings," says Mr. Bottomley, "have been proposed as a cure for juvenile sins, and, in fact, have been proven to be beneficial. But I do not believe that beauty alone is an infallible remedy. It must be accompanied by recreation or a U '3eful occupation, to function with real efficiency. Our parks need attractions other than their beauty to best serve the public, while our backyards can well hold to the same ideal." The series deals with the part which each member of the family might contribute toward the worthy home, the parents as responsible for the actual physical hoU'se with all of its consid.. erations, and the contribution which the children can make to both physical and spiritual sides of the home.

BRIDGES TALKS Festival's Greatest List of Artists o n Will Give Lectures for Benefit of the This Year's Program Evanston Cradle The largest and probably the greatest list of solo artists ever to appear in the North Shore Music Festival has been engaged for this year's sea 3on of concerts according to announcement just released by the management.

Gina Pinnera, soprano who for the last two years has been winning laurels in the east, will make her first western appearanc~ at the festival, as will Tudor Davies, noted Wel.5h tenor. · Dr. Horace J.

The lectures will begin mornings at 11, and va:.-ious homes of Cradle patrons will be opened for their patronage. New Type of Anesthesia Success at St. Francis Nearly one hundred cases of spinal anesthesia have been administered at the St. Francis hospital accord;ng to a report from the hospital this week. This is a new form of anesthetic in which the local medication is introduced into the spinal canal painlessly and within two minutes anesthetizes the entire region below the level at which the injection was made. The patient remains otherwise entirely awake and retains all his senses. This form of anesthesia eliminates the JJSJJ..al dangers from an inhalation anesthetic such as ether. The patient is more relaxed during the operation and there are no after effects as there are after an inhalation anesthetic. This spinal anesthesia is used safely in operation upon patients who would not be able to take an inhalation anesthetic without risk. Among those promoting the lecture at previous North Shore festivals, will Other contributions to this educa- be heard in two concerts. Anna Bur-. series are Mrs. Eugene M.
