-- AN 10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1924 TELLS HOW TO AID MOTORISTS Chicago Club Has Novel Idea to Help Strangers Motorists have an opportunity to benefit by a plan evolved by the Chi- cago Motor club, provided they are will- Ing to co-operate as motorists are al- ready co-operating with other affiliated American Automobile association clubs in other cities. According to the bulletin issued by the club, motorists can aid in minimizing traffic congestion by giving strangers and tourists more explicit directions how to reach various points Qf the city and how to pass through it- with the least amount of treuble. 4 .°° "It is not' enough for a local 'motor- ist to tell the visitor whether he is on the right street and going 'in the right direction," the bulletin says. "Every inGuiry is an excellent opportunity to help the tourist help relieve congestion. The average tourist is no more desir- ous of seeing the city's congestion than local motorists are of seeing tourists riding through sections of the city they could well avoid. Here is where the focal motorist has an opportunity to give the tourist advice that will serve to direct the car through the lesser tra- veled streets. "Points about speed limit, prohibited left turns and parking regulations should accompany directions." Hoover Acts to Check Motor Accident Toll Secretary of Commerce Hoover has taken cognizance of the automobile ac- cident situation and for the first time in history the federal government will use its influence in checking highway accidents. In recognition of the accident pre- vention work of the Chicago Motor club here in the middle west, Mr. Hoo- ver has appointed the vice president of the club, Frank E. Jack, on the com- mittee on traffic control. This com- mittee, according to Mr. Jack, will con- sider subjects as traffic laws and ordin- ances, speed limits, street and highway marking, one way streets, pedestrian tra- vel, parking, police instruction, school patrols, illumination, grade crossings and decentralization of traffic. Other committees appointed by the secretary of commerce include, com- mittees on statistics, city planning, in- surance, education, and motor vehicles. The committee on traffic control met in Washington, June 20, and planned meetings of the entire body which will work out a comprehensive plan for ac- cident prevention. Students Visit College Site and Enjoy a Party On Saturday, July 12, the summer school students at the National Kin- dergarten and Elementary college will go for an extended bus ride through the north shore suburbs, stopping at the site. of the new college buildings on Sheridan road, North Evanston, and ending with a beach supper in Wil- mette, Read the Want-Ads ILLINOIS HAS HEALTH RECORD Has Lowest Mortality Rec- ord for Larger States Compared with mortality in 27 lead- ing states of the union, for which of- ficial statistics are available, Illinois stands first with the lowest average death rate of 11.9 per 1000 people for ending with 1923. This fact is shown by recent figures compiled and issued by the U. S. bureau of the census. The 27 states reporting, which have a combined population of approximate- ly 85 million, had an average annual death rate of 11.9 per 1000 people for the period while the state of Illinois had an average rate of 11.4. The rate in Illinois was lower, also, than that of any other state in the union with a 1920 population of 3,500,000 or more, the nearest rivals in this respect being Ohio and Michigan, with rates of 11.6 and 11.8 respectively. All of the other states of this group, which include Mas- sachusetts, New York and Pennsylvan- ra, had an average annual mortality rate of more than 12 per 1000 people. "The significance of the lower rate in Illinois is difficult for the average person to appreciate" said Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health commissioner, in commenting on the situation. "The slight difference of two-tenths of a a point between Illinois and Ohio rates, for example, means that nearly 4000 people who are now alive in this state would be dead and buried and the Ohio rate prevailed in Illinois. In a state the size of Illinois a decline of one tenth of one point in the annual mortality rate per 1000 people indicates that 700 additional individuals escaped death dur- ing the year. "The favorable mortality conditions in Illinois are due in large part to a marked decline in fatalities from con- tagious diseases. Tuberculosis, for ex- ample, caused nearly 6000 fewer deaths during the last three, than during the preceding three years. In like manner the combined fatalities from a dozen of the more important contagious diseases numbered nearly 23,000 less for the three years ending with 1923 than for the preceding triennial. "Illinois is without doubt one of the most healthful states in America but she cannot hope to retain this splendid position without due regard to public health service. Last year, for instance, there was a general rise in the mortal- ity rate in the United States but the margin of increase in Illinois was no- ticeably greater than it was in any oth- er of the large states, all of which make more generous appropriations for pub- lic health service than does Illinois, while the 1923 rate in New York where public health service is excellent, was indentical with the 1922 rate." Plans "Aggie" College For the Near East An agricultural college 'similar to those in the United States is being planned by the Near East Relief in con- nection with its orphanage program in Armenia. Funds for the project are to be provided by a group of Armenians in America. A scientific study of Amer- ican relief workers during recent fam- ine years revealed the necessity for the 519 Davis St. ECONOMY WITH DISTINCTION JORDAN EVANSTON BRANCH CORNELL MOTORS, INC.

In this fashion, Near East Relief is building up the war devasted nations in the Near East in a carefully thought out plan to solve forever the vexed Near Fast question. The organization believes that the native races should stay in their own country and help es- tablish their own nation. It is believed that the 60,000 orphans who are being trained in the Near Fast Relief orphan- ages will supply the leaders and the in- fluence that will make a new Near East that will be independent, self-supporting, and well able to solve their own na- tional problems without assistance. Everything that is being done at pres- ent is with this ultimate goal of inde- pendence in view. That the people them- selves realize this is seen by the action of the Armenians in America who are fostering the agricultural college in Armenia.
