Not Headlights But Dirty Windshield PAGE TWO Cause of Trouble D-’;“H::: oncoming cars too much r glaring headlights, George Barton, chief safety engiâ€" neer of the Chicago Motor club, cauâ€" tioned today. Your dirty windshield and eye glasses may be responsible for the trouble. A film of dirt diffuses light rays and produces an illuminated screen of dirt before your eyes, he explainâ€" ed, limiting the driver‘s field of vision for several seconds. "As glaring headlights were a factor in 4,150 deaths and injuries throughout the country last year, it is advisable to minimize their power by keeping your windshield €lean," Mr. Barton suggested. Resumes Meeting with Dinner Sept. 12 The Evanstonâ€"North Shore Real Estate Board announces its special opening meeting to be held on Monâ€" day, Sept. 12, at the Shawnee Counâ€" try club in Wilmette at 6:15 p.m. The meeting will be a dinner meetâ€" ing with a round table, offering the members opportunity for exchangâ€" ing their best exclusive listings. In addition to this, the brokerage comâ€" mittee has prepared for discussion several practical problems that have arisen this year. "Antlers" on Oak Trees Caused by a Fungus Growth Real Estate Board ‘The dying of branches at the tops of oaks, a condition commonly known as staghead, is often caused by a fungus which makes its apâ€" pearance above ground, usually in October, as a common edible mushâ€" room, Dr. Tehon explains. Mushâ€" room enthusiasts know it as honey mushroom or oak fungus. But to Dr. Tehon and Dr. J. C. Carter, asâ€" sistant botanist of the Survey, this fungus is known much less favorâ€" ably as the cause of the shoestring rot disease of trees. Urbanaâ€"Antlers on the head of a stag make the heart of a hunter beat high, but "antlers" on oak trees are only headaches for park superâ€" intendents, city foresters, and forâ€" est preserve officials in northern Illiâ€" nois, according to reports received by Dr. L. R. Tehon, head botanist, Illinois Natural History Survey. ‘"In our recent examinations of oak trees which show staghead," Bedspreads Send them‘ to the Vogue Cleaners Furniture Rugs Draperies Curtains Blankets Comforts You will save many dollars on your cleaning bill by using our cash and carry service.

We have found it in both the northerh and southern parts of the state, but the principal damage is in the northern part where oaks are more highly valued." Dr. Tehon and Dr. Carter advise the necessity for keeping oaks in a continuous state of high vitality, If trees are kept healthy by proper care and feeding, the small black threads of the shoestring fungus have less opportunity of making their . way from the soil into the roots and eventually causing death. Springfield, Ill., â€" The valuation per tesident high school pupil is more than 25 times as large in some school districts of Illirois as the valuation in other districts. The valuations range from $3,602 for Christopher Community high school, Seriousness of shoestring rot at this time, the botanists say, is exâ€" plained in part by the drought years 1984 to 1986, which killed many oaks and reduced the vitality of those that survived. Change of tree habitat is another common reason offered by Dr. Teâ€" hon and Dr. Carter for the inroads of shoestring rot. Forest grown oaks, they say, do not respond kindâ€" ly to domestication. Many of these trees, after spending their early years in a natural habitat, are unâ€" able to survive when the land they occupy is used as a public park or pasture. City and county officials planning to make public parks of native timber tracts should leave the areas in a state that approxiâ€" mates natural conditions. Inroads of the fungus upon a tree already attacked may be checked, Dr. Tehon says, and the lives of trees lengthened indefinitely. But the process is too complicated for anyone but a skilled tree expert to attempt. Before planning oaks, Dr. ‘Tehon warns, property owners should make sure that the shoeâ€" string fungus is not already in the soil. Identification of this fungus and other tree enemies is made in the botanical laboratories of the Natural History Survey at Urbana. Find Need for State Equalization Fund for High Schools Shoestring rot may be suspected if the leaves of an oak begin to wither, burn in the sun, or drop to the ground, according to Dr. Tehon. Examination of the soil about the roots=«may reveal the network of black filaments of the shoestring fungus. 3200 Tapestries Franklin county, to $78,000 for Colusa, Hancock county; while a similar figure for the nonâ€"high school district of Monroe county is $91,253, according to a study of 1937 assessments and 1987 attendâ€" ance data, issued today by the Reâ€" search Department of the Illinois Education association, » Mr. Irving F. Pearson, executive secretary of the Illinois Education association, in commenting upon the situation said, "Our findings indiâ€" cate very definitely the need for a state equalization fund for high schools similar to that now availâ€" able to the elementary schools of the state. In addition thereto, in view of the increased demands upon high schools and greatly decreased local revenues ,it may be necessary to have a flatâ€"rate contribution to high schools, similar to the state distribuâ€" tive fund for elementary sehools."

' With the exception of the emerâ€" gency high school aid bill, passed by the Special Session of the, Legislaâ€" ture, the high schools are supported entirely by the local ‘property tax. A high school with a valuation of $4,000 per pupil can raise only $30 per pupil with a tax rate of 75¢ per $100 of valuation, while a district with a valuation of $78,000 could produce $585 per pupil at the same tax rate, and a district with $90,000 valuation could produce $675 with the same tax rate. The average per capita high school cost for curâ€" rent expenditures in Illinois in 1936â€"37 was $123.24. Large differences in assessed valâ€" uation are shown within counties. According to the study, the assessed valuation per resident high school pupil for Lake county high schools for 1987 is as follows: Nonâ€"High School District Nouan $18,249 CHAMPIONS LEARN FROM _ AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE Many famous athletes in all sports credit much of their success to playing tips and suggestions reâ€" ceived from sports articles in THE AMERICAN BOY Magazine.
