Today, in dogland, rules of adorn- ment require that any dog appearing on-the street must be regaled in a col- lar from which is suspended at least two metal pendants. So far, ear-rings are taboo. Since the recent decree of those re- sponsible for this latest custom af- fecting dog adornment, more than three hundred of the second little brass pendants for collar attachment have been issued. : These are certificates from the vil- lage authorities, that the dog, for which the tag is issued has been im- munized by the anti-rabic treatment. This immunization tag, similar in size to the dog license tag, in like manner as the latter, must be worn on the dog's collar. If this custom proves objectionable to any canine, his only other altern- ative is to remain at home or to don the now out-of-date muzzle. All this has been prompted by the recent rabies scare in the village. Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer, who promptly co-operated with the police department in preventing what threat- ened an epidemic of rabies among Winnetka dogs, says no new cases have developed the past week. It is said to be not improbable that future action may be taken by the village, whereby owners of dogs, be- fore being able to procure the annual dog license for their dog, will be re- quired to present a certificate of im- munization by the anti-rabic treat- ment, for the dog for which the li- cense is sought. Dr. Orvis says he wishes to thank the people of Winnetka, who own dogs, for the splendid co-operation they have shown in meeting the re- quest of the authorities in obtaining the immunization treatment against rabies for their dogs. "This eliminates these dogs as sourc- es of danger to other dogs, and more particularly to children," he said. "Those who have not had their dogs immunized are urgently advised to do so at once, and those who have had the work done should not fail to regis- ter the certificate with the police de- partment and get the tag. "We want to give everyone who will co-operate in this community move- ment proper credit and not place him on the delinquent list. "If we can have a response in the next few days equal to that of the past week, we will have a short list to fol- low up. The community spirit is fine, and I am sure we soon will have so large a percentage of dogs immunized that we can feel that our families are safe against the threatened rabies epi- demic, for some time to come." The cost of the immunization treat- ment, Dr. Orvis says is very small, veterinarians having made a rate of only $2.50. This rate, he says is even reduced to $1.50 a treatment, if a num- ber of dogs are taken to the veterinar- ian, at the same time. Attorney in Springfield . in Support of Park Area Frederick Dickinson, village at- torney, is in Springfield this week for the purpose of urging the passage of legislation making possible the ac- quisition of park area in the Skokie on ten or twenty year installment payv- ments. He is also opposing the amend- ment of the commerce commission, an action which would place municipally owned utilities under the jurisdiction of the commission. ; Local Groups to Sponsor Picnics for Chicagoans The decision of the Winnetka Cir- cles to discontinue the picnics for the children of Chicago Commons and On- ward Neighborhood House is said to be a keen disappointment to many who have been closest to this work for many years. One who has helped with these pic- nics comments concerning how much this glimpse of a life so different from that to which they are accustomed means to these little cihldren. In bringing them to Winnetka, they are given more than just lunch and a dip in the lake; it is a vision of another world, of people whose lives are so much richer and fuller than they have any conception of, that it is an inspiration and encouragement. But some who have been carrying on this work for years felt they could not forego this pleasure and are plan- ning as usual to give their annual pic- nic. A group of mothers from Onward Neighborhood House came out last week and spent a delightful day at the home of Mrs. Ayres Boal. On July 8 the Walden Road Circle will have an- other group from Onward. The West Elm Street circle, Mrs. Burton H. Atwood, Jr., chairman, will entertain a group from Chicago Com- mons on July 6. The Community House staff will have another group | from the Commons on June 28, and Mrs. A. J. Balaban will be hostess to two picnics, one in July and another in August.

NOTICE TO LEGIONNAIRES There will be a special meeting of Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, at Community House, Mon- day evening, June 27, at 8 o'clock. Board Expresses Appreciation of Aid for Library That the Winnetka Public library has been a success, and none would question the fact that it has been a good investment to the tax-payer, was shown at the polls on June 11, when the people of Winnetka voted for a bond issue of $75,000 to meet the plan of the trustees for an enlargement of the Library building. The response of the community at this election is greatly appreciated not only by the Board of Trustees and by the librarian but by all the patrons of the library who have had to select their reading material from some 18,000 volumes which are crowded into a shelving capacity of only 9,000 vol- umes. It is suspected that even the books themselves are, like the guard in "Hamlet," saving: "For this relief much thanks." The Winnetka Library springs from a root deeply implanted in the spirit of Winnetka--the same root from which have sprung our schools and churches and Community House. Even if no tangible relationship were trace- able, the common spirit and purpose would be manifest. The library stands secure in an established place in the confidence of the library world, and with its new enlargement and capacity for a greater assortment of books, it is hoped that the library will always occupy a large place in the hearts of the citizens of Winnetka. Twenty-Four Winnetka Boys Leave for Camp Twenty-four very happy and excited boys left Winnetka last Monday eve- ning on a special car bound for Lake Hamlin and "Chief" Davies' "Indian Hill camp." The long anticipated day had ar- rived and they were off for eighteen days of real camping, days of keenest joy spent in working, playing and liv- ing together under the direction of one long experienced in the art of camp- ing. One hoy said, as the time grew-near for them leave "This has been the long- est day I ever spent!" Since their arrival in camp, word has come that "the boys got here safe and sound. Everyone seems happy, in spite of the rain!" The boys who are in camp, follow: James W. Alsdorf, David Weld Al- len, George Ashman, Ephraim Banning, John P. Barden, Bob Blake, William Brackett, Ray Davis, Robert Early, Marshall Dudley, Hugh P. Fleming, Charles J. Eastman, John W. Gordon, Bill McAdams, Frederick A.

CAT EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD Miezie is a cat; moreover a cat well able to review the events of the past for Miezie has reached that position in life where it is said one begins to review the years. It was in January 1909 that Miezie, a rather damp and small kitten, was picked up by Miss Louisa A. Luger, 985 Oak street, Win- netka, and taken home where he has spent eighteen comfortable years.
