WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 -19 HOME-BULLDING STUDY SUBJECT Convention to Seek Help for Dwelling Owner With the high general level of American standards as to homes, and with a shortage still existing in single family dwellings, the small home has become one of the largest problems in building, according to officers of the Home Builders and Subdividers division of the National Association of Real Estate boards. How small houses may be constructed so as to include the features which are essential for good family living conditions at a price within the reach of families of small income, and how the purchaser of such a home may be financed in the transaction will be leading topics to come before a national convention of subdivision specialists and home builders of the United States and Can- ada to be held in connection with the Association of Real Estate boards. The meeting will be held at Detroit, June 23-26. How a community of inexpensive homes may be developed by providing bus transportation, and how the pur- chasers of homes in a medium-priced subdivision may be given the advan- tages of community playgrounds, re- creation grounds, and even of com- munity clubhouses will be related con- vention topics. Subdivisions a Study The convention will also consider the fundamental principles to be ob- served in the development of high grade residential subdivisions. Detroit and its rapidly growing resi- dential areas will be taken as a text book as to the possibilities of both types of residential development. Field trips will be made to study typical successful subdivision projects. Recognizing that the man who lays out a subdivision is a city builder and that he has a very real responsibility for shaping the character of the city's growth, the Association, through its Home Builders and Subdividers divis- ion, has been making a study of meth- ods of control which American cities are establishing over the growth-areas both within and directly without their corporate limits. Iremeus Shuler, of Omaha, who has been conducting the study for the division, will bring be- fore the convention the existing situation nationally in subdivision control and in city and metropolitan district plan- ning. The convention will discuss the standards that should be observed in sound subdivision development, and methods by which control should be exercised over subdivision platting to insure that the new section be de- sirable from the point of view of permanent city growth. The division will give an entire ses- sion to considering thte a. b. c's. of a successful sale, selling methods that have proven successful to home build- ers, and advertising methods to bring buyer and builder together. WAY BACK WHEN! The days when mother and dad rode a bicycle built for two; when "A Hot Time in the Old Town" was the latest song; when the Spanish-American War was being fought; when leg-o'-mutton sleeves were in, and bicycle bloomers were shocking the grandmothers of 1898; when the men wore pointed shoes, choke collars and shirt waists; when McKin- ley was President and Bryan was still a possibility--all are reproduced in Nor- ma Talmadge's newest photoplay, "The Lady." "The Lady" is a First National at- traction produced by Joseph M. Schenck. It was adapted from the stage play of the same title, and its. story carries us to the close of the World War. Wallace MacDonald is Norma's leading man. WARNS AGAINST MEASLES SPREAD Health Officer Cites Rules Regarding Disease The statement appearing in a recent issue of WINNETKA TALK and reporting the prevalence of an epidemic of measles in the village, brought further warning this week from Health Officer Schneider. "Measles," says Dr. Schneider, "is the most contagious disease of child- hood. It is extremely contagious from the very beginning, when only slight symptoms of an ordinary cold may be present. This first stage of measles usually continues four days before the rash appears and the disease can be definitely diagnosed. "Any person failing to isolate a child during this preliminary stage of mea- sles--the four days preceding the erup- tion--is guilty of deliberately spread- ing this dangerous disease, which may result in bringing on other serious complications, or even death.

In this connection Dr. Schneider cites the village regulations in regard to measles, which may be briefly sum- marized as follows: It is the duty of the physician in harge to immediately report every known and suspected case of measles --this preliminary report to be follow- ed promptly by a detailed written re- port. The premises must be placarded con- spicuously. Hiding or removal of placard is forbidden, except, in the latter instance, by order of the health officer. Strict Isolation Necessary The patient should be confined to one or two rooms from which all visitors and members of the household, except necessary attendants, must be excluded. Attendants must take all necessary precautions against carrying he disease. Parents and adults may enter and leave the house, provided the case is properly isolated. Other children in the household must be con- fined to the premises and remain in quarantine through the incubation pe- riod of 14 days after the last case has fully recovered. Children over 8 years of age who have had measles, may leave the prem- ises and attend school only where the house affords complete isolation. Con- sent to attend school must be received {rom the health officer. Order 14 Day Quarantine Quarantine continues over a period of not less than 14 days from the date on which the case is reported, and this time may be extended if the case is not fully recovered, or if there are children who have not yet had the disease. Termination of quarantine should not be requested until two weeks have 2psed since the last case was report- »d. Cases are to be reported to Dr. C. O. Schneider, health officer, Win- nctka 2140. M=s.
