June 23, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 23 Hospital for Pets Opened in Evanston Is Nation's Finest Evanston's outstanding institution dedicated to the happiness and wel- fare of those wholly dependent upon man's love and compassion--dogs, cats and caged birds in particular-- recently moved to what is known to be the finest establishment that any animal hospital in this country, and quite possibly thie world, can boast of. The North Shore Animal hospital, in its own new building at 1819 Church street, is certainly adequately prepared to give the best treatment obtainable to any stricken creature fortunate enough to be placed within the scope of its efficient care. The reception lobby, with its slate floor, beamed ceiling and end-wall fireplace, is attractively furnished in dignified period furniture of carved walnut. Back of the lobby a long hall with a glass roof leads first to the dis- pensary, where all cases are diagnosed. If contagious, they are sent to the isolation ward away from any chance of infecting other animals. This ward is a bright, sunny place with high-set, southern windows of special glass, which admit the essen- tial ultra violet rays. Patients which do not have infectious disease are sent to one of seven other wards, which have a capacity of from twelve to fifteen cases each, of course in a private division. Each ward has a spacious exercise yard with concrete floor and walls and screened upper portions for protection from flies. For sanitary reasons it is equipped with a bowl of constantly flowing water and floor drains. Before the animal is taken to the white porcelain equipped operating room it is, in most cases, administered a small amount of morphine to do away with excitement from the time the patient is taken to the dispensary for cleansing and shaving and thorough disinfecting of parts near the area of operation until it is put upon the table in the operating room and given the anaesthetic. During the operation everything is done in a most skillful manner, just as in the best hospitals given over to the treatment of humans. The dispensary contains every need- ed bit of equipment from an instru- ment sterilizer to microscopes for cul- tural work. There is a special ma- ternity ward, an X-ray room, a room equipped for bathing and drying, one for the preparation of food and a check room for equipment. Besides these there is a general office just off the lobby, two offices opening on the corridor and quarters for the internes. There are at present nearly 80 patients and when fully settled there will be accommodations for 120 under the care of Dr. J. V. Lacroix and his staff of seven, five of whom are in- ternes. Besides taking care of its paying clientele, the hospital does con- siderable work on a charity basis. VACATION IN EUROPE Five New Trier High school teachers are spending the summer in Europe.

The Voter's Column By Hoyt King There were 200,000 professional and 100,000 independent voters interested in the judicial election of Cook County. The result of the "Hands Off" politics of 1,000,000 other voters is shown in the daily print. Citizens this week are contributing money to private prosecu- tors to enforce the law. The people permit paid incompetency to hold office and themselves assume thz burden of law enforcement. "Chicago's business interests received a direct urge yesterday to contribute to- wards $150,000 fund being raised for prosecution of election frauds and political crime." In the face of refusal of five County board members to support this work, Frank J. Loesch and his assistants are making a brave beginning. "Martin Klass, brother of Abe, and also a nephew of Morris Eller as well as a chauffeur and handy man for Eller's son, Emanuel Eller, of the Criminal Court, was indicted for kidnaping and assaulting an election werker." Fifteen others charged with assault to kill and robbery, were indicted. While Judge Eller's activities (not in his official capacity) in the April primaries and June judicial election are being investigated, he was at the party national convention at Kansas City. "Judge Emanuel (Manny) Eller es- caped the politico-crime alliance hearing long enough to come down." He arrived home in time to perform the following judicial and friendly service : "Abe (Humpy) Klass, Morris Eller's nephew and cousin of Judge Emanuel Eller, was freed last night on a $10,000 bond approved by his cousin, the judge. Maybe it will occur to the million non-voters to chip in on the great work Mr. Loesch and his colleagues are at- tempting agpinst opposition of their paid public officials, notably the State's Attorney and his County board.
