The program was pre- pared entirely by the children and was attended by Thomas Whitney Surette, musical adviser of the Win- netka schools. Mr. Surette also played three compositions by Bee- thoven. One of these was written by while another was one of the selec- tions created after he had reached an advanced age. Mr. Surette pointed out the difference in the depth of fee]- ing and artistry of the two composi- tions. op ee ' 'The pupils taking part in the pro- gram were Robert Eastman, speaking on Bach and accompanied by a selec- tion on the piano played by Anne OI- son; Althea Murphy told about Mo- zart and Elise Fleager played the illus- trating selection; and Mitchell Hutch- inson told of the life of Beethoven and Mary Randall gave the piano the great composer when a small boy* selection.

Hubbard Woods Chronic Poisoning Is Greatest Danger From Exhaust Gas The greatest danger from inhaling exhaust gases from motor vehicles is not sudden death but chronic poisoning that may lead to serious pulmonary, neurotic and circulatory complications, according to Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, s.ate health director, who points out in a statement issued this week that thousands of employes in commercial garages, patrons and drivers of gasoline buses and closed car passengers are subject to the deleterious effects of car- bon monoxide when adequate ventila- tion is disregarded. Demands for ga- rage space have resulted in the conver- sion of store rooms, ware houses and other buildings without ventilating fa- cilities 'to that purpose while protection from cold has led to the heating of buses and closed cars with exhaust gases. These conditions have compli- cated modern life with a new hazard that man has never before experienced. "Sudden death from inhaling motor exhausy fumes is apparently on the decline in Illinois but the hazard of chronic poisoning increases year by year" said Dr. Rawlings. "Constant breathing of carbon monoxide is un- avoidable in commercial garages where engines are constantly running and where ventilation is poor. The danger is more acute in the winter when closed doors and windows cut off the outside air with the cold and the percentage of carbon monoxide on the inside goes up. "The increasing use of passenger buses which depend on the motor ex- hausts for heating involves danger from leaks that may bring carbon monoxide into the touring compartments. 'This danger is greater for long distance lines where doors are opened infrequently and the risk centers more in the driver than the passengers. Effects of carbon mon- oxide on a bus driver are worse than those from alcohol because they come on without warning and they leave the victim completely helpless both mentally and physically. Closed cars for ordinary family service involve some danger from carbon monoxide when exhaust pipe heating devices are used. "Constant breathing of carbon mon- oxide, as may be the cause with me- chanics in commercial garages, may re- sult in chronic poisoning which mani- fests itself in headache, weakness, dizziness and nausea. It is probable that the poisoning predisposes to pul- monary complications such as pneu- monia, to multiple sclerosis and to neurasthenia. These disorders are not sudden but come on gradually after months or years of exposure. "Ventilation is the great preventive. Free use of God's free air eliminates danger. Open doors and windows is the simplest way to ventilate but me- chanical devices are practicable. Ozone machines that are on the market and have been installed in some places are virtually useless." Winnetka Shoe Store Observes Anniversary The Winnetka Shoe Store, 804 Elm street, Winnetka, next week will ob- serve its fifteenth anniversary with an "anniversary sale," as announced else- where in this paper. H. Luensman, the proprietor, opened this store on February 1, fifteen years ago, when the village was far smaller than it is today. His faith in the fu- ture of Winnetka was shown, how- ever, in the erection, at that time, of the two story building which he now occupies and which at the time it was built, was the first up-to-date building west of the tracks. Mr. Luensman came to Winnetka in 1900. Two years later he engaged in the shoe repairing business and fifteen years ago opened the store which he has since conducted.
