School Opening Increases Auto Mishap Hazards "The schools will be open next month, and school authorities and mo- torists' organizations are already turn- ing their thoughts to the matter of ac- cident prevention among the school children," says Chas. M. Hayes, presi- dent of the Chicago Motor club. "The average child starts to school at six, the age at which accidents arg most prevalent, and every year brings its hundreds of little ones who have not had the benefit of safety training, and who are alone on the streets every day for the first time. Children are quick to follow example, and in the work of reducing accidents good example has been found to be one of the most im- portant factors in influencing the ac- tions of children. "The school boys' patrols, appointed because of capability, good deportment and attention to studies, furnish the needed example. The boys are re- spected by their school comrades and by the general motoring public; they are responsible for improving the gen- eral morale of the schools, in addition to the work they accomplish in pre- venting accidents. Stanley Wheatley has just finished a six weeks' special course at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. He will visit friends in Detroit the last week in Au- gust. --( Mrs. William Jones Smith of 1078 Elm street leaves today for Ephraim, Wis.. where she will spend about two weeks. WINTER IS ON ITS WAY!

This fact was disclosed this week when con- tracts were closed between the state | health department and several manu- facturers of biologics te supply the am- munition in the form of vaccines and sera with which battle will be waged. Appropriations were made by the last general assembly for the maintenance of a central ammunition depot at Spring- field from whence will be distributed through some 400 outposts located at vantage points throughout the State the sort of high explosives peculiarly disas- trous to the troopers of diphtheria, smallpox, typhoid fever, ophthalmia neonatorum (infantile blindness) and venereal disease. "Tt is almost certain," said Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, "that the state will be invaded repeatedly during the next two years by the armed forces of several hostile bacterial na- tions. Information furnished by the intelligence service maintained under the direction of the chief epidemio- logist gives every reason to anticipate a continuation of the gorilla tactics em- ployed recently by typhoid fever and a determined and stubborn attack of diphtheria during the next few weeks. Smallpox will doubtless reinforce the other two a little later while infantile blindness is a constant menace in many quarters. Scarlet fever is mobilizing for an attack during the winter and spring while measles, pneumonia and whooping cough will undoubtedly be allied with the infectious entente be- fore summer. "For this reason special ammunition will be supplied, (free of cost like shells to the soldiers), to citizens in all parts of the state. They are warned to be prepared against surprise attacks. These enemies never fight in the open always from ambush of the most un- expected character. Over 450 Are Expected for Secretaries' School With 166 persons already enrolled for the seventh annual National School for Commercial and Trade Organiza- tion Executives, to be held in Evans- ton, Aug. 22 to Sept. 3, indications point to over 450 attending the school this year.

Meyer, Chamber of Com- merce secretary, and Dean Ralph Heilman of Northwestern university have been appointed co-chairmen in charge of the entertainment features. The school is conducted through the combined efforts of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Commercial Secretaries and Northwestern university.
