WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 NEWS OF INTERE ST [IN REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING FIELDS RIDE MOOCHING IS DANGEROUS "Don't Let the Kiddies Ride," Warns Head of C. M. C. "Within a few weeks school will re- open, children will come back from the country, and motorists accustomed to driving past empty school houses must again exercise caution," says Charles M. Haynes, president of the Chicago Motor Club. "Mooching' rides is one of the most dangerous practices among children, yet far too many motorists succumb to the youthful beguilery of the 'moochers' instead of trying to dis- courage this practice. Difficult as it is, 'one must steel one's heart to the blandishments of a kid's smile as it is a real injustice to that child and to his parents to encourage him. "When school starts you will see groups of boys, many of them of tender age, milling around in the midst of traffic, holding up an appealing hand to passing motorists. Success makes the boys bolder and they step out al- most to the center of the street. Grim tragedy frequently follows because some boy has not been warned about ride 'mooching, and because some motorist could not see the harm in giving a boy a lift. Then, too, few motorists realize the liability they in- cur when they invite a person to ride as their guest. It sometimes happens that motorists who have felt that it would be selfish to deny a plea for a ride have paid dearly for their bene- ficence. "Our courts have held that the op- erator of a car who invites another to ride with him, is bound to exercise rea- sonable care for the saféty of his guest, and that if, through the driver's neg- ligence, a guest who exercises due care is injured, the driver is liable for dam- ages. If you are the unfortunate vic- tim of a collision in which a boy is hurt, or if he is injured through jump- ing off the car before it has stopped, or if he trips and falls while getting off the running board, it may be possible that you will be forced to compen- sate him. "It is true that if you contest some of these cases chances are that you would win, but litigation is uncertain and ex- pensive, and in most cases your at- torney might accept a settlement by paying a small sum in order to release you from further liability."

The letter reads as follows: "Complaints of smoke nuisances in Kenilworth have been increasing in number during the past few years, partly because some householders have been burning soft coal or fuel oil with- out making the necessary changes in heating equipment or methods of firing to insure complete combustion. To burn soft coal without smoke requires properly designed equipment or con- stant attention by an expert fireman. Many boilers developed and found effi- cient with hard coal are entirely un- suited for soft coal or fuel oil. "Smoke is made up of unburned gases and carbon which should have been burned in the process of combus- tion. Loss from this source sometimes amounts to 20 per cent of the heating value of the coal. Fireplaces also are smoke producers, especially when can- nel coal is used. "The smoke and soot from domestic heating plants burning soft coal or fuel oil contains a large percentage of tar and acid which clings permanently to every object on which it falls; it stains buildings, injures vegetation. soils household furnishings and cloth- ing, and tends to injure the health when breathed. This loss can not be accurately estimated in dollars and cents, but it can readily be seen that the loss would-be enormous in a mu- nicipality like Kenilworth where the citizens take pride in their homes and furnishings. : "Where hard coal, coke, fuel oil, or gas is used, smokeless combustion can be obtained with relative ease. Do not be stampeded into buying soft coal by the prospect of a long, hard coal strike. Honest Investments Invest your money here where the principal will be safe and the high interest rate certain.
