Several hundred dead fish, consisting for the most part of shad and /suckers, have been removed from the "Xishwaukee river near the dam at "Belvidere. This is evidently a recurrence of the midsummer epidemic which has been experienced for some ! jjfyears. The cause is unknown.

According to records , of the Accident Prevention Department of the Chicago Motor Club, the fall months prtdoce a particularly high toll of accidents to children consequently the club has picked this t?me to issue a bulletin warning motorists to use extraordinary precaution at this season of the year. i In this bulletin Charles M. Hayes, president of the club, says: "This season of the year is particularly hazardous to children because so many children scarcely more than babies, are starting oat to brave the dangers of traffic. These are the children who are starting to school for the first time and the accident records show that fatalities are most numerous in the age group between 6 and 7, daring the first year of the child's school life. It is only natural that these children, unaccustomed to traffic and but yesterday playing in the seclusion of their own homes and back yards, should become confused on the streets. Consequently, the solemn duty devolves upon motorists to drive with extraordinary caution--Specially in the vicinity of schools. "After a year in school we see tl»© accident curve takes a sharp downward course and this is owing to the safety work being carried on in the public, parochial and Lutheran schools throughout the country. "One of the most helpful influences in connection with this work is the School Boys' Patrol. In the territory of the Chicago Motor Club more than 21,000 patrol boys are now guarding the lives of the younger children. In the 9,196 schools in club territory, 1,- 529 patrols have been organized. He club, as in previous years, will push its work of organizing "and training patrols, supplying them with Sam Browne belts and badges, and providonated | ding various incentives for meritorious patrol work. "In addition to the work among patrol boys, the club will continue its custom of sending out safety posters to all the schools in its territory. Approximately 38,000 of these posters are distributed to the schools once a month.. These posters cover a different phase ef the hazards of the street each month and offer suggestions as to the means of overcoming these hazards. Accompanying the postar is a lesson which is used as an outline by the teachers in discussing the safety motive of the month." BAY YACHT HUB ST.

No event of the season at this club means so much to the children and offers a better attraction to tho grownups than this party for the kiddies. The ctubhouse on the moonlit shore of Pistakee Bay wai crowded and the sweet voices of the little ones echoed to those on the porch of the clubhouse who were unable to gain entrance owing to the Large attendance. lEvery child participating in the circus did his or her part to make it the big success it turned out to be. However, its real success can be attributed to the untiring diligence and effort put forth by Mrs. Harry Hoff in training and preparing the little gents and young ladies for the big event. Each pet reflected the superior ability of Mrs. Hoff, known as <<lMa" to all the children, to have each one do his or her part perfectly. Even the menagerie on the side lines --side show--containing wild cats from Africa and prairie dogs from the western plains, did their stuff like superbly trained animals, although it was whispered that these animals had been in captivity in ttie Pistakee Bay elements for a few weeks in advance of the show. The arrangement of the Junior party this year was quite different, the circus idea being a contrast to the former parties which were more or less of the musical comedy plan.

This celestial event, which will not occur again for thirty-one years, was strictly on time and the first view of the eclipse was sighted about eight minutes after 1 oclock when the moon began cutting off the sun until It looked like a crescent with only one-fifth of its surface uncovered at the maximum point. Only the first phases of the eclipse were observd here, for shortly after 1 o'clock, clouds formed, at times completely obscuring the sun. Shortly before 2 o'clock the dense clouds indicated that the maximum coverage would not be observed here and the sun remained hidden until the eclipse had passed. Blackness of the clouds combined with the 79 per cent maximum coverage of the sun cast this Vicinity into twlight as it was swept by the most severe storm of the season with rain falling in sheets as it was blown by the high wind. The storm with its electricity and wind cleared the air# however, bringing cooler weather and Telief from the intense heat ofr»the preceding days. Clouds obscured the view of the t>- tal eclipse from thousands who had gathered at Derby, Vt., but elsewhere a good view was had of the celestial drama which preceded a pall of darkness of total eclipse- Primitive man, terror stricken in the eerie hush and murky darkness of eclipse, would have seen there the end of all his world, the awful anger of the sun god, hiding his face from the evil ways of man.. Today, modern science, reasoning, knowing, trained its telescopes and cameras skyward, plotting moon . mountains and solar prominences like mapping some unknown suburban town.

Each year the enrollment increased until hwt year the record was broken with an enrollment of wore than 200 students. This year indicates an increas* of over 100 per cent during the pest ten or eleven years. This inereaso in enrollment is almost entirely due to an, increase in the proportion of eighth grade graduates who attend high school. Each year finds $ larger and larger proportion of the eighth grade graduates continuing their education in high school- The Senior class of last year was the largest in the history of the school with an enrollment of about 45 graduates. Previously the largest vl class to graduate was a class of i?': thirty-six pupils aivd at the time the - * Community high school was organised " ./ the graduating classes averaged from twelve to eighteen. These facts indicate that not only., are the pupi'3 " entering high school, but a very good proportion of them are completing their foar years' • work at the local j- \v; school. ' « ' '•».
