V. Smith. Clarence Ostrander, Frank Smith, Howard Johnson and Clarence Howâ€" ard, all of Fox Lake, were those named in the confessions which were taken before Col. Smith, Sheriff Lesâ€" ter T. Tiffany, Chief Deputy Sheriff Thomas E. Kennedy and Deputy Sheriff Russell MeBride. McBride, who was assigned to the case and uncovered . sufficient eviâ€" dence to arrest two of the youths through questioning people in Antiâ€" och, stated that the lads had been rabbit hunting along the highway from a car that night. As they passed the church he charged, two of them shot through the windows. il; i;a-g'-c;;féiiion one of the boys claims it was just a prank. s The damage, it was said, would not run very high but if special stained glass windows in the rear had been broken instead the loss would have amounted to more than $3,000. Sales of New Autos in Illinois in November; Lake County Total, 96 New automobile sales in Illinois for 1930 are expected to fall more than one third short. of last year‘s sales, according to statistics compiled by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and released here today. The figures show that 160,477 new cars were sold during the first eleven months of this year as compared with 233,875.for the same period of 1929. November sales in 1929 were 8,195 while in November of this year only 4414 new sales were made. Although Cook county sales have been running almost even with downâ€" state during previous months, Novemâ€" ber purchases fell off sharplyâ€"1,858, less than half of the downstate sales. Peoria county with 121 new sales ranked second in November and Kane county with 117 new sales followed. Other leaders were Sangamon, 110; Dupage, 101; St. Clair, 100; Lake, 96; Rockland, 92; and MeLean, 81.

MENONI FIRES CAUSE DEATHS OF MANY CHILDREN Appalling Loss of Life Through Such Disasters in State Every Year There is an appalling loss of lives, and especially of children‘s â€" lives, each year through fire catastrophies that might have been prevented, says the Educational committee of the Illiâ€" nois State Medical society. A study made by one agency shows that twoâ€" thirds of the fatal burns occur in the home and that threeâ€"fourths of the victims are children under 15 years of age. The kitchen stove, the open fireplace, the hot water or steam radiator, electric appliances, hot waâ€" ter, matches, fireworksâ€"even Christâ€" mas, the greatest of home festivals â€"â€"are hazards. Hardly a day passes but we read of a child who has played with matches and has died or been disfigâ€" ured for life from the burns that have resulted. Boiling water should te kept beyond a small child‘s reach. The tub of hot water left while mother goes to the door or attends to something on the stove. is annuâ€" ally responsible for scores of deaths; the cooking utensil left on the stove with the handle turned so that the child can reach up and grasp it, is responsible for many more. Fluffy dresses and play suits trimâ€" med with fringe, in combination with games played too near open grate of bonfire, cause hundreds of fatalities every year. . Fireworks and firecrackâ€" ers usually bring a harvest of burns and accidents on Fourth of July. Even the "safe" sparkler is not so safe when whirled about among chilâ€" (ren wearing thin, . light clothing. While the wax and parafin candle on the Christmas tree have been largely replaced by electric tree lights, defecâ€" tive wiring in these incandescent lights or a short circuit has been ‘krown to cause tragic accidents. The ’custcm of having a lighted candle in the window to welcome the Christ Child on Christmas eve is a beautiful one but unless filmy curtains and Christmas wreaths are in positions of safety disaster may result. The child may stumble against it even before he can walk, and the reâ€" sulting burn is often deéper than that from an ordinary stove. Ignorance and Carelessness Most of the burns and scalds that result fatally occur through ignorâ€" ance of danger or because of someâ€" one‘s carelessness. â€" Safety education â€"the knowledge that makes a child realize the hazards of everyday life â€"is the best way to protect children from accidents of all kinds, including fire. Until they are old enough to appreciate the dangers that lurk in everyday affairs, parental watchfulâ€" ness and care must protect them from potential sources of danger.
