Skinner Appointed 'Skeeter District Engineer Major E. M. Skinner, formerly as- sociated with the Gorgas Memorial in- stitution, was engaged as the district engineer for the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district at a special meeting of the board of trustees of the district held at the Wilmette Village hall last Tuesday. The appointment of Major Skinner followed closely the refusal of the con- tract by Frank [. Miller of New Bruns- wick, N. J., who was named as en- gineer on February 29 but declined to accept it on a one year basis, as pro- vided for by law. Major Skinner has accepted the appointment on a basis of two days a week at a fee of $2,500: a year. He will start at once on pre- liminary surveys and will submit a re- port to the trustees at their next meet- ing. It was also decided to appoint a superintendent for the district and plans for the immediate starting of work were discussed. Preliminary preparations are being made and it is anticipated that actual work will be started next month. Hub Describes Springtime Garb for "Beau Brummel" Positive evidence of the arrival of spring is found in the interesting an- nouncements of what the well dressed man will wear this season, made by Henry C. Lytton and Sons, "The Hub," Evanston store. Ensembles will be prevalent in men's wear. With a suit of grey as the basis, for instance, one should select a shirt of solid or striped green, with cravat, hose and hat to match, Tweeds will be the vogue in topcoats with this combination. With tan suitings, one learns, the 1928 Beau Brummel will match with solid or striped tan shirt, cravat of orange hue, hose in heather mixtures, tan shoes, hat and topcoat. George Young Injured When Struck by Auto George Young, residing at 1625 Cen- tral avenue, Wilmette, was struck by a vampire car in Evanston on Tuesday of this week and sustained injuries which necessitated his being taken to the Evanston hospital, it was reported to the Wilmette Police department by the Evanston police. Mr. Young was riding his bicycle on an Evanston street when he was run down by the car, which did not stop. H. C. of L. Spreads to Election Judges, Clerks Judges and clerks in the coming township election are to receive $8.00 for the day's work in place of $6.00, as heretofore, it is said, this being the rate which has been paid for some time in Chicago. In cases where town- ship and village elections are held on the same day and the same officials preside, it is said there will be a slight reduction in the township rate. MUSIC AS A VOCATION Mrs. Marion Cotton, director of mu- sic at New Trier High school, spoke to the Juniors last Wednesday morn- ing on the subject "Music as a Voca- tion or an Avocation." The talk was arranged as one of the vocational guid- ance series being given under the di- rection of the faculty advisors of the Juniors.
