Youth Drowns at Winnetka Beach; Second in Week The second drowning within a week in Winnetka occurred at about 2:15 o'clock Monday afternoon when Bar- ney Arthur, 23, of 2532 N. Kildare avenue, Chicago, fell off a raft into eight feet of water near Scott's pier, 1127 Sheridan road, and was drowned. Neither Arthur nor his cousin, Ar- shur Peterson, also of 2532 N. Kildare avenue, Chicago, who was on the raft with him, could swim. Peterson at- attempted to make a rescue and nar- rowly escaped drowning himself. Arthur was brought to the shore by Life Guard Etzbach, of the Maple ave- nue beach, who made an unsuccessful attempt to revive him by artificial res- piration. Dr. Christopher also worked over the victim for one hour and forty minutes and then pronounced him dead. The body was taken to the Lewis undertaking parlors at 839 Elm street, Winnetka, where a coroner's inquest was held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The verdict was "asphyxia- tion due to accidental drowning." Work on Addition to Skokie School to Start August 1 Construction of the nursery school addition to the Skokie school will be started about August 1, according to the plans of Alfred Alschuler, archi- tect, who is donating the money for the building. A nursery room, a kindergarten, five offices and six smaller rooms to be used as work rooms will be included in the addition, which is to be-of the same type of architecture as the pres- ent Skokie school. The building will probably not be ready for use until late in the fall. The need for expanded facilities for the nursery school classes in Winnetka led Mr. Alschuler to make the offer of a donation for the new structure some time ago. The Winnetka school board approved his plan at its meet- ing last month. Mrs. Alschuler, wife of the architect, has been one of the leaders in the nursery school move- ment and has been in charge of the classes at the Greeley school.

WOLSTEDS WRITE OF WORK AMONG HINDUS Winnetka Missionaries Describe Living Conditions and Nature of Work in India Clarence E. Wolsted and his wife, Mrs. Mabel Ewen Wolsted, mission- aries to Manamadura, India, from the Winnetka Congregational church, have sent their annual letters for their friends here to the WinnNErka TALK. Extracts from both of the letters are printed herewith. ; Mrs. Worsted gives a very interest- ing account of how their family lives in India. She writes as follows: "Now, because a great number have written asking how we live in India, I am going to try to give you an idea of how you would find the Wolsteds living, were you to visit us. Before we came out I had in mind that we would have to live in a thatched mud house, though I admit I did not plan that it should remain a mud house long. When we arrived in Madura and as we drove through the streets I kept looking from side to side won- dering what house we were going to stop at. But thanks to the older mis- sionaries, who learned by costly ex- perience that such housing didn't pay, we have comfortable houses. Describes Home "Our bungalow is a two-story struc- ture with no basement. The walls are very thick, made of country brick set together with clay mixed with lime. Then they are plastered and white- washed outside and in. We have a good veranda at the front and back to shut out some of the heat and glare. All of our floors are cemented. They are not very attractive but they are relatively cheap and the only thing for India. Even with the cement, the white ants find their way up through the first crack that appears, so it is never safe to leave trunks or boxes standing right on the floor for any length of time. We usually put them on racks. We use grass mats on the floors to brighten them up a bit. "Our furniture is plegn, but usable. We have a few wicker chairs that we ordered made in the Madras bazaar, which we like quite well. We have three rooms downstairs, consisting of living room, dining room and Clar- ence's office. I keep my desk in the hallway, where there is a good air current, so I don't stick permanently to my desk as I work there, for pers- piration just flows and flows. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with a sleep- ing porch for each. The nights are often very warm and close so we al- ways sleep on the verandas with mosquito nets suspended from frames attached to our beds. It is so comfort- ing, when one hears swarms of hungry mosquitoes, to know they can't get you. Then, There's the Kitchen "How about that most important room in the house, the kitchen? It is built at some distance to the back of the house on account of the heat. We hire an Indian boy at five dollars per month to do the cooking. He goes to the bazaar each morning and buys sup- plies. He boils the water and pours it into porous clay pots to cool. We never drink water that has not been boiled. So also with the milk, boil- ing is necessary. In the morning I give him directions for the meals, hav- ing him measure out the supplies he needs. I have had to teach him the ways of proper cooking. Teachi about a baking oven was a real tria Anything above luke warm was a bak- ing oven until I had insisted almost all my patience away. He does very well now." .
