'STEALING A MARCH' Abatement Organizations Put in Ex- tra Licks While Landlord Boreas Gives Mosquito Tenants Notice Indian summer days are approaching as valued allies to the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district and the Chicago Sanitary district in the war- fare which the two organizations have been waging against the relentless mos- quito hordes so strongly entrenched in the Skokie valley regions. With the advent of mosquito-chas- ing weather, the Sanitary district, which is directing the work of dyna- miting the much desired open drain- age is losing no time in comoleting its portion of the abatement task. The Mosquito Abatement district, under supervision of Superintendent William Edwards, is cleaning out the ditches, and applying the prescribed oil treatment. This co-operative program, it is con- fidently expected, will have made such inroads upon the haunts of the pest be- fore resumption of sting time next spring and summer, that Mr. and Mrs. Skeeter will find conditions most un- favorable for the customary summer convention in the Skokie and adjacent north shore areas. A. H. Meier, who has been the in- spector for the North Shore Mos- quito Abatement district, has gone to Wooster, Ohio, as professor of biology, at Wooster university. He is a gradu- ate of Northwestern university. Owing to the lateness of the season, a successor to Mr. Meier will not be appointed by the Abatement district until next spring. Graeme Players Return to Alcyon September 21 Friday, September 21, is the date an- nounced by the management of the Alcyon theater of Highland Park for the return of the Graeme Players, who played there each Friday night for fourteen consecutive weeks last spring. The Players, with many new plays in their repertoire, will once again be- come a regular Friday night feature at the Alcvon. The first play, to be presented on Friday, September 21, will be Taylor Holmes' famous three-act comedy dra- ma, "Not So Fast." This will be pre- sented in conjunction with a picture program. It is the plan of the Alcyon management to show the picture both before and after the play presentation. There will be no increase in the price of admission, it is announced. Services at Winnetka Congregation- al church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock will be conducted by Rev. Tames Austin Richards.

PROPOSE STORM SEWER FOR INDIAN HILL AREA Village Board Requests Cost Estimates on Improvement South of Willow Street The Winnetka board of local im- provements has authorized prepara- tion of an estimate of cost for instal- lation of a storm water sewer system for that section of the village lying south of Willow road and between the railroad tracks and Birch street. This action was taken Tuesday eve- ning on the recommendation of Trustee William B. Moulton, chair- man of the judiciary committee. Numerous complaints, it is said, are received relative to the backing up of sewage into basements in the area in question, caused by the fact that storm water from street catch basins, house down spouts and yard drains is now emptied into the sanitary sewers in violation of Village ordinances and Winnetka's contract with the Sanitary district of Chicago. A large part of Winnetka is already equipped with both sanitary and storm water sewers, but the section in ques- tion has never been provided with the storm water sewers, the need for which is becoming more and more imperative as a result of the rapid home develop- ment in that vicinity. 1800 Children to Enter Our Schools at Opening Monday Approximately 1800 children will enter the public schools of the village Monday morning, September 10, when school sessions are resumed. The teaching staff will number ninety. Principals at all schools will be the same as last year, although there have been a few changes among the grade and departmental teachers. The com- plete list of teachers was published in a recent issue of WINNETKA TALK. Supt. Carleton Washburne has res turned to Winnetka after spending most of the summer giving courses at the University of Minnesota and the Colorado State Teachers' college. He has been holding meetings with the teachers this week. All-day sessions were held Thursday and Friday, and a half-day session was to be held today. The annual faculty swim and beach party was held Thursday afternoon at 5:30 at the Maple street beach. Both new and old teachers attended. Health Conditions Good; Whooping Cough Bothers There were eighteen cases of whoop- ing cough in the village during the month of August, according to the monthly report of Health Officer Dr. H. A. Orvis submitted to the Winnetka Village council Tuesday evening. There were also seven cases of mumps; four of chickenpox; two of scarlet fever, and one of German measles, a total of thirty-two. Dr. Orvis reported that at the present time there were in quarantine only the two cases of scarlet fever and eleven cases of whooping cough.

The schedule of meetings is: 4 Junior school in chapelat 9:30; Kin- dergarten and Primary (grades 1 to 4) at 11; Choir school at church at 10.
