WU 20 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925 | CITES AUTO AS HEALTH HAZARD Abuse of Its Comforts Called Dangerous A measure of comfort is found for the four persons out of every five in the state who have not yet bought an automobile, but who wish to own one, in a statement issued this week by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health direc- tor, who declares - that automotive transportation is not an unblemished blessing to humanity. With all of its benefits, says the director, the auto- mobile has its shortcomings, being re- sponsible for an average of more than 100 fatalities and 1000 injuries monthly in Illinois and tending to promote hab- its conducive to physical ills and criminal conduct. "With an automobile for approxi- mately every five people in the state", said Dr. Rawlings, "and the imminent possibility of that ratio being cut down 'as rapidly as the other four become financially able, it is a matter of public concern to know that a number of very definite hazards to health and life at- tach to this modern convenience of travel. In the first place automobiles are directly responsible for more than 1200 accidental fatalities and approxi- mately 12,000 more or less serious in- juries annually in Illinois, but that is not the whole story by any manner or means. "Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odor- less, poisonous gas is present in auto- mobile exhausts. Breathing this toxic substance, which is very easy to do when engines are run in closed garages, has a serious and sometimes fatal ef- fect on the body. - NOTICE VILLAGE OF WINNETKA Board of Appeals NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Appeals of the Village of Winnetka, pursuant to a resolution of the Council of the Village of Win- -netka designating said Board of Ap- peals as a committee to consider a petition filed with said Council by a certain property owner, will hold a public hearing for the consideration of a proposed amendment to the Zoning ordinance of the Village of Winnetka, which shall provide that the property described as (Except Street) Lots Three (3) and Four (4), in the Sub- division of Block Thirty-six (36), Winnetka, being a subdivision of the Northeast quarter of Section Twenty (20) and the north half of Fractional Section Twenty-one (21), in Township Forty-two (42) North, Range Thirteen 113) East of the Third Principal Meri- _dian, shall be changed from "A" Resi- ential District to '"C" Commercial District as described in said Zoning ordinance.

Open Evenings F. C. HEANEY - Marmon North Shore Sales and Service 1008 Davis St. Greenleaf 1038 EVANSTON "More important still, perhaps, the automobile is conducive to physical indolence that tends to prevent exercise sufficient for reasonable health. Even the four or five million people in the state who have not yet purchased a car find opportunity more and more frequently to motor to and from work and to replace the healthful hike with a dash to the country on balloon tires propelled by six powerful cylinders. Lack of a reasonable amount of exer- cise in the open air favors the de- velopment of the degenerative diseases such as heart trouble, nephritis and many other complications which have increased as a cause .of mortality al- most phenomenally since the advent of petrol vehicles. "Another danger that the automobile has enhanced is the spread of con- tagious diseases. Motorists seem to insist upon drinking water found at indiscriminate places along the high- ways and upon bathing at convenient places to the road without regard to the possibility of polluted water. The result is that typhoid fever is not in- frequently a companion of the return trip home. Not only this but a person suffering from such contagious diseases as smallpox, measles, scarlet fever and so forth, can travel fast and furiously by automobile. "Of course, there are the ill health results of immorality which the motor car promotes and then there is the criminal aspect involved in theft. "Automobiles are wonderful assets to health and happiness when rightly used, but like every other good thing they are dangerous indeed when their use is abused. Pilots of airplanes are given very rigid mental and physical tests semi-annually and this practice has reduced enormously the number of crashes. Almost anybody is permitted to drive an auto and the death rate from accidents grows on from year to year."
