WINNETKA TALK March 10, 1928 Lee Says:-- WE'RE feeling pretty BLUE today--Ilast night WE read that the earth IS shrinking two inches a YEAR! If somebody DOESN'T put a stop to THAT, what's going TO become of us?

The showing is not only most grati- fying to Building Inspector A. B. Kreig, but dispels all speculation as to what the Spring building business is to be in the village, providing the start of the opening of the Spring month is to be a criterion. A permit was issued to H. H. Wind- sor, Jr., of Evanston for a fifteen room residence at 419 Sheridan road to cost $116,000. Jevene Haugan took out a permit for a $30,000 house at 1400 Tower road. Two permits were issued to C. B. Metzel of Kenilworth for residences to be erected at Sheridan road and Fuller lane, one costing $14,000 and the other $15.000. I. J. Foster of Evanston will build a $17,000 house at 330 Locust road. Ella Q. Needler, also of Evanston. was granted a permit for a $17,000 residence at 339 Sheridan road. Domeni Barufi of Highwood took out a permit for a house costing $16.000 to be erected at 1260 Ash street. Winnetka Scouts to Stage Annual Exhibit March 22 Winnetka Scouts have been working hard for the past two months in prep- aration for the annual Scouting exhi- bition which is to be held at Com- munity House on March 22. The plans for the affair are now practically completed and a dress rehearsal of the various parts of the program is to be held next Thursday night. Each of the twenty patrols will have a booth at the exhibit in which will be demonstrated some phase of Scout work, either a merit badge or some- thing they have made. In addition fifteen different acts will be put on in the auditorium by the boys presenting some phase of Scouting activities. NAB CAR STRIPPERS Police Arrest Accessory Thieves in Act; One Identified as Burglar Who Robbed Winnetka Home Erven and Edward Jonzek of Chi- cago, were caught early Sunday morn- ing by Officer Ralph Fjellman at Elm street and Hibbard road, "stripping" a car. The former was identified by Miss Alice Beck, maid at the home of A. D. Crawford, 185 Fuller lane, as the man who, on January 23, entered the house and stole $40. The men, when arrested, had a car on which there was a fictitious license plate, and also had burglar tools in their possession. Edward was bound over to the grand jury and held in bonds of $2,000, on the charge of having the burglar tools in his possession. Naphtha Causes Hot Fire; Chief Again Warns Against Use The fire department was called to the residence of John R. Cochran, 370 Chestnut street, Thursday morning at 9:50 to extinguish a fire resulting from flaming naphtha, which, for a time, threatened the destruction of the house. Three vessels, each containing about a gallon of the fluid, were in the but- ler's pantry and near the gas range, in which the pilot light was the only blaze. Presumably the naphtha was ignited from this. The department was able to confine the fire to this part of the house and the damage resulting was compar- atively small. G. M. Houren, chief of the Win- netka fire department, has, from time to time, called attention to the danger of using naphtha for cleaning pur- poses. In the case at the Cochran home, where every precaution had been taken, the fire occurred, never- theless, and Chief Houren again gives warning not to use naphtha about the premises, in any way. washer."
