The Winnetka police have rounded up a quantity of loot carried away from the home of Dr. Margaret Levick, 590 Lincoln avenue, by two industrious colored maids during the week they were employed there, that is of truck- load proportions. There was seven hundred dollars worth of jewelry, including two dia- mond rings, and various household articles and wearing apparel, the entire haul valued at something like one thousand dollars, The police recovered all of it and ar- rested the two maids, Hazel Washington and Janet Goins, of 3316 Vernon ave- nue, Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. John L.. Morris, also colored, of 4805 Calumet avenue, Chicago. The maids are charged with grand larceny, and Morris and his wife, at whose home most of the stolen goods were found, are charged with receiving stolen property. On Wednesday, Judge C. T. North- rup fixed the bond of each of the auartette at $2,000, in default of which they were sent to jail to await the ac- tion of the grand jury. : The two maids were employed at the Dr. Levick home only last week, during which time they carried out the various objects of their theft. Dr. Levick missed some of the articles of jewelry soon after they left and re- ported the matter to the police Sunday. By the following Tuesday the police had the quartette in custody and had obtained all the stolen articles. Dr. Levick was unable to furnish the police with the address of her erst- while maids, but they were traced by Chief W. M. Peterson and Sergeant Harry C. Enauld, through a telephone number which the maids had left. Police Ra'd Homes Sergeant Glenn Boyd went to Chi- cago early Tuesday morning and in company with officers from the Stanton avenue station raided the place at 3316 Vernon avenue, where they obtained a vart of the jewelry and placed the Washington and Goins women under ar- rest. The Washington woman confessed that they had stolen the goods and told the police thev were at the home of her sister, Mrs. John I. Morris, at 4805 Calumet avenue. A list of the articles stolen. all of which have been returned, follows : Ring with blood stone set, breast pin, bracelet, white stone necklace, amber necklace. string of blue beads, two belt pins, gold bar pin, string of amber beads, four curtain rings and two dia- mond rings.

He is the Rev. Luke McKenney, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. McKenney of 752 Foxdale avenue, Winnetka. He was assisted at the services by the Rev. O'Brien, novice master at the Dom- inican house of studies at River Forest, who served as deacon. The sub-deacon was the Rev. Charles Gorman, chap- lain of the Philadelphia County jail. Following the service, breakfast was served in the parish hall to about fifty guests. Father McKenney has been studying for the priesthood at various institutions, and was ordained about two weeks ago, in Washington, D. C. Voters Approve Plan to Enlarge Library Only 64 voters, among a total number of more than 450 citizens who went to the polls last Saturday in the special election on the prop- osition to authorize the Winnetka Public Library board to issue bonds in the amount of $75,000 to provide for the enlargement of the Win- netka Public library building, voted against the issue. Such a convincing endorsement of the library board's plan to virtually double the capacity of the present library structure was hailed with general satisfaction throughout the village. As a result of this endorsement of the board's construction program, the enlarged library structure will, in addition to providing considera- ble more shelf space, provide ade- quately for the needs of the school children in the matter of more ade- quate research and study facilities, as well as much needed space for the story-hour programs for the smaller children. Under the present plan the children are to be provided with their own distinct department and room in the library building, it is explained.

OFFICIALS TAKE STEPS AGAINST RABIES MENACE President Tenney and Dr. Orvis Issue Warning and Order As Precautionary Measures In order to prevent the possibility of an epidemic of rabies among the dogs of the village, the authorities have issued warnings and orders designed to check at once this threatened menace. Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer and H. F. Tenney, Village President, have sounded these warnings, the latter having issued a proclamation that dogs must be muzzled. Health Officer's Advice The warning from Dr. Orvis follows: "Dogs suffering from rabies have been at large in the Village of Winnetka. They have bitten at least one child and one dog. The number of other dogs which the rabid animals may have bitten is unknown, so we feel that there is a probability that an epidemic of rabies among the dogs of our community is a serious menace. This endangers the lives of not only the many fine dogs but the human population as well, and espe- cially our little children. The un- fortunate part of this is that rabies once established is usually always fatal to a child. To avoid this serious situation it will be necessary for us to prevent a spread of this infection. The following means will accomplish this: "l. Muzzle your dogs or tie them up at home. "2. As soon as possible have the dogs inoculated against rabies by a veterinarian. "If we can have the cooperation of the community in these measures we will be able to control the situation readily. [f not, it may be necessary to adopt radical regulations that may cause the destruction of many fine dogs. It will be necessary at first to muzzle the dogs in the community until the anti-rabic treatment can be given. Those dogs who have had this treatment and received a certificate from the veterinarian, will be given a tag at the Village office and need not be muzzled any longer. "If a child should be bitten by a dog the first procedure is to have the wound cauterized with nitric acid by your physi- cian. The dog should be placed under observation for a period of ten days and if rabies develops in that time a Pasteur treatment should be instituted at once. "Any dog that is not acting normally should be tied or shut up and observed by a competent veterinarian for a ten day period for diagnosis. Do not have a dog killed that is suspicious and may have bitten other dogs, but isolate him until a diagnosis is made. However, if a dog is known to have been bitten by a rabid dog he should be killed at once. "I urgently recommend the inoculation of dogs with the anti-rabic treatment. This protects your dog against infection. The muzzle protects only other dogs against your dog, so by inoculation we will protect both our children and our dogs." Dogs Must Be Muzzled The following proclamation has been issued by President H. F. Tenney: "Whereas, a number of dogs in Win- netka have recently exhibited symptoms (Continued on page 6)
