All was the proverbial "berries" untile the travelers came upon a railroad crossing hardby the home of corn flakes. Approaching the right-of-way at a 45 degree angle, the fore wheels of the machine snagged between the rails and the lumbering old craft executed a neat somersault, landing comfortahly on its side. Efforts to right the machine were fruitless, but after a time an obliging locomotive came along and completed the wrecking job. "Looks like we'll have to sell what's left of her," F.arl suggested. Agreed. The next move was a visit to the local \Varshaw ski who reluctantly accepted the sorry old bus in exchange fo~ a crisp $20 bit}: _·d~ vu twenty bucts~· medhatcd Earl's stalwart crew. "We simply gotta have a car." A brief search in one of those isles of lost craft disclosed something that resembled a motor conveyance. The boys tried her out and she ran like a top.

Mcnue. . of 1216 ling Saturouting at officials have been attacking problem from many angles past week. Health CommisMoore launched the campaign with a general cleaning up of the village catch basins and by the elimination of water pools on municipal property. Village Manager Schultz foltowed the health officer into the war on the pe:.ts by putting an ample force at work reducing shrubbery, weeds and other foliage on public property. These make ideal breeding places for the mosquito. But Mr. Schultz carried his work farther ·than that. He has sent out several hundred notices to village residents warning them that without their co-operation, the efforts of the officials would be WOI\thless. All ~useholders were called upon to remove everything from their premises that would offer a breeding place for the pests. Following the health officer and the vitlage manager in their drive on the mosquito came President Edward Zipf, who had personally drawn a weed ordinance, which he submitted at Tuesda~'s ~ing of the village council and wh1ch was passed by the trustees. This ordinance makes it unlawful for any owner, leseee or occupant of any lot in the villace to· allow any growth of weeds ~ hei ht o~r ten inches to Violation ot a fine of $10 for each offense everyday such growth is allowed to exist! will constitute a separate offense. The ordinanee was made to ao into immediate e·ect. "Shall we lick the mosquito, or let the mosquito lick us ?" is the caption of a circular which Health Commissioner Moore has been broadcasting the past week. It is filled with expert advice as to how to rid the town of the mosquito. It tells that stagnant water is ·absolutely necessary to the mosquito for br~intJ, and that tin cans, puddles and rain ptters which all hold water are the favorite rendezvous for the mosquito. It closes with an appeal to all local patriots to join in the officials' crusade to relieve the village from the pests. Village Manager Schultz says some folks have a misoonception as to the front line of their property. On the ~~oot str~ts. it lies, he says, 20 inches ms1de the ms1de line of the sidewalk. On thoroughfares more than 66 feet wide, the lot line is 30 inches inside the inside line of the sidewalk. The village manager will look after mosquito breeding spots on the viUag~ land ; the owners are urged to attend to theirs. He further suggests that corner lot owners rem.o~e , all shrubbery that ob~tructs the v1ew of motorists at Rtreet mtersecti~ns. Sue~ shrubbery is dangerous ahke to dnvers and pedestrians.

It was introduced there this time by the park board, the members of which said they wouldn't pay the village a cent more for the water they used in the village parks than the village was paying to Evanston, which supplies Wilmette with its water. The trustees accepted the terms, which leaves the park board owing the village $1,617. The account now will be liquidated. Beach Ia Cloeed After Chilliest of Summen The Wilmette bathing beacla b closed, officially. After a summer of chilly and uncertain weather, the bathing beach attendants, including Francis Bradley, the beach master, and Mrs. C. W. Hilton, matron, concluded this year's supervision on Labor Day, September 1. The attendance during the season was in conformity with the weather. The largest single attendance at the beach, including only the actual bathers, was 1,333 on July 28. To this number may be added 300 ·onlookers. The hoftest day of the season at tht' beach brought 1,010 bathers, on August 21. The total attendance at the beach was about <40,000, of which 31,000 were bathers who registered at the beach office. From the 4ay the beach was officially opened on June 21 until the close on September 1, there were six days on which the weather was so cold and the downpour ·f rain so heavy as to necessitate cloaina of the beach.
