It will not be closed. Charter Grove is near Genoa and Sycamore. The practice followed by youths of bitching autos to sleds claimed its first victim when Albert Storms, 13 years old, Waukegan, injured when he was struck by a street car while on his sled one day last week, died. The death was the first one of this type of accident that has occurred in Waukegan in years, although this practice It-- resulted in many accident*. The old Manley school house, west of Hebron, was destroyed by fire one night last week. The fire was first noticed At 5 o'clock soon after school had been closed for the day. Miss Mary Coitovi, the teacher, of La Salle, 111., had -left the buildiiSg only a short time before and the building was then alright. It is thought that the fire Was caused by a defective chimney. With the back seat of his Cadillac sedan piled up even with the windows with 200 one gallon cans of alcohol, John Francisco of Chicago fell into tile hands of thev Lake Forest police recently, when two officers stopped the man on Waukegan road at the interaction with the Rockland road, The liquor was confiscated and Francisco is being held for trial. The biggest illicit still ever found in Winnebago county was seized Thursday of last week, on a farm four miles northwest of Rockton, where a huge plant was found, part of it in the farm house some rods away. The still is said to have a 300-gallon-a-day capacity, and huge quantities of mash were found in vats in the barn and in the basement of the house. The raiding squad found 150 gallons of finished product on hand, and many crates containing fjye gallon cans. Carl W. Stenger, founder of the Waukegan State • bank, was again elected presiddftt of the institution at the annual election of officers held last week. A number of hogs and two head ol cattle were killed and three stock cars were badly damaged about 9:30 o'clock last week Monday near the stock yards at Crystal Lake when a freight engine crashed into a line of standing cars. The impact badly damaged the ends of three cars, smashing iiftTtfe^framework and breaking couplings. Some of the pieces of timber fell with such force on the hogs that a number weTe killed and two head of cattle. The postoffice department has under consider*tleiK.the addition of a third mail daily between Barrington, Lake Zurich and Wauconda. There are now two mails daily between these points leaving the Barrington postottce at 8:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. for the two lake resort towns. Cost of board, clothing and medical attendance at the Children's Home in Woodstock averages $18 per month for each inmate, according to a recent statement made by C. E. Maxwell, superintendent of the institution. Over 3,000 children have been received and cared for at the home. y Found lying injured across a bed in bis cottage at Long Lake recently, William MVjrrcn, 52, told neighbors that he had shot himself because he had no friends and was tired of living- He said he was glad to know that he would not recover from his , wounde, but he was aonry ha not •. 4wd sooner. '. • DREAD LEPROSY LOSING TERROR Evk!ew» Malady la Under fM-i Control in U. S. 7/'\S La.--Science Is taking the terror out of one of the world's most dreaded diseases. Regarded since the dawn of history .as a living death, leprosy apparently Is being brought within the list of curable maladies, and the leper Is being given firm ground for hope. "Unclean!" the cry of fear, horror and revulsion has come down the centuries. The fear has always been exaggerated to a greater or less degree, but has been none-the-less real In the minds of victims and those about them. > Within the last few weeks, eight patients have been released on probation from the National Leprosarium here, sent back to their homes no longer a menace to the public health. Since the Institution was established by the United States public health service seven years ago, 37 have been released, and only one has suffered a relapse. Those released recently had been under treatment from two to seven years, and about 400 others remain. l^any of the bacteriological, chemical, pathological and clinical studies which have contributed to the advances made in treatment of fhe disease In recent years have been conducted by health service workers In Hawaii. Their principal achievement has been the development of chemical derivatives from chaulmoogra oil obtained from an Oriental tree which have increased Its effectiveness in combating the leprosy germ. The scientific studies also have established that the disease is communicated only by direct and usually prolonged contact with a victim. Casual contact, the Investigators found, is not dangerous as It has been regarded. and they suspect that nasal secretions probably have most to do with transmission of the germs. Statistical studies conducted in connection with the scientific wort Indicate that the number of cases of lep- Wy in the United States exceeds 1,000. Office Carbon Used i/.r' * for Scientific Work K*W York.--llow a piece of ordinary carbon paper, such as every office stenographer uses for duplicate letters, solved an exacting scientific problem is recorded in the metallography department of the Bell Telephone laboratories here. The problem was to focus the ultra violet microscope, which uses the rays at the blue end of the spectrum. These rays are invisible to the eye, but register on a photographic plate. The dolicacy of the adjustment Is indicated by the fact that the microscope photogiaphs objects as small in diameter as two hundred or three ^hundred atoms, which is the closest to nothing that visibility has yet approached. Francis F. Lucas, In charge of the work, observed that carbon completely absorbed the ultraviolet light, which meant that if a line df carbon sufficiently thin could be laid across the surface under the microscope, it would form an object of sufficient contrast to make focus possible. How to get such a line was solved, after considerable experiment, simply by laying a sheet of ordinary carbon paper face down on the specimen and drawing a line with a pencil on the back of the carbon. ~--»-- > , H: | CLASSIFIED . /P/ERTISEMEKTS . • » USE THE CLASSIFIED COLUMNS FOR QUICK RESULTS TOR SALE FOR RENT--- Downstairs bedroom. nitT.---- ; . 1 ' Mrs. Edwards.

Heat regulation Is a subject of sufficient Importance to Justify Inquiry on the pari of the home owner, since poor regulation or. the lack of regulation has a large bearing on home comfort, and the Wealth Of occupants and "fuel economy. The modern type of regulator embodies a room thermostat which controls the drafts of the furnace through an Ingeniously contrived control placed near the furnace. When the temperature drops below the degree for which the thermostat is Set it throws a switch which opens the drafts of the furnace, starting the Are and bringing the room up to the required point of comfort. This done, the thermostat closes the drafts. A clock, incorporated In the thermostat, automatically shuts off the fire at night and raises it again in the morning, so that early rising on wintry days loses Its rigor.

He states that the California meadow lark sings occasionally In winter, and (hat such outbursts of song al most always come in damp weather. Just before or after a rain. Doctor Reed also calls atten rlon to a supporting observation made by Dr. William E.

Usually cut fairly heavy ln thickness, their wide shadow lines accent the horizontal elements in design, effectively bringing the house closer to the ground In visual effect. Thus they serve to satisfy the demand for low height in houses which are built otherwise high for economic reasons, it being practically axiomatic that It is cheaper to build vertically higher than to spread the house over more ground. Wide cedar slding^t&s become a standard material in this country for homes of all the Colonial periods and, in rough stained form, for the gable ends of English houses, where the effect desired Is that of great age and weathering.
