a 4 Pr " ps November 5, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 35 MCCORMICK ROAD SOON | Dances of Many Lands | TO HAVE LIGHT SYSTEM Sanitary District Awards Contract for Immediate Installation of Street Lights Sanitary district of Chicago trus- tees have launched a program involv- ing intensive development of McCor- mick road and the beautification of the district's north shore channel right-of-way, it was announced this week The first step has been taken by awarding a general contract calling for an expenditure of $727,000 to the U. S. A. company for installation of McCormick road and work on this project will start immediately. McCormick road, already recog- nized as an outstanding achievement in regard to meeting the diversified needs of modern traffic, is now to be one of the best lighted highways in the country," declared President T. J. Crowe of the Sanitary district. Install 600 Lamps "The contract provides for the in- stallation of 600 lamps of 1,000 candle power each, to be placed at regular intervals throughout the length of Mec- Cormick road from Devon avenue to Railroad avenue in Evanston, on six- teen feet high posts. This equipment will flood the boulevard with daylight brilliance and together with other im- provements specified in the contract, example of highway construction out- will make McCormick road an ideal side of the congested districts in cities. Our plans for the boulevard are in keeping with the best modern thought available in this regard." In addition to the lighting equip- ment, the contract further includes clauses under which the contractor is to operate the system for a year's time, construct proper drainage facili- ties and curb and gutters and widen all streets intercepting the boulevard. Advanced Engineering Features The design of the system, laid out by John T. Miller, former commission- er of gas and electricity for the city of Chicago, and now head of the San- itary district's department of perman- ent plants and structures, embodies the most advanced engineering feat- ures in this particular field. This contract follows another, re- cently awarded, which called for the installation of traffic regulation lights in McCormick road. Cancer Mortality Rate Drops in Chicago Area Mortality from cancer went up three per cent in down-state Illinois last vear but declined two per cent in Chicago, according to statistics made public this week by Dr. Issac D. Raw- lings, state health director. The num- ber of fatalities jumped from 4,030 to 4238 in down-state population while it dropped from 3,246 to 3,244 in Chicago. These figures indicate rates of 98.3 and 101.7 per 100,000 population down-state for 1925 and 1926 respec- tively and 1084 and 106.4 for Chicago. Total deaths from cancer in the state went up from 7276 to 7,482, causing the rate to rise from 102.6 to 103.8. "Women suffer worse than men from cancer while people over 50 years old are much more liable to the disease than younger folks," Dr. Rawlings said. "Out of the 4238 down-state deaths last year, 2318 were among women against 1920 among men, a difference of about 9 per cent of the total. Only 278 of these 4238 deaths were among individuals less than 40 years old while 2357 were among people older than sixtv. Cancer may therefore be re- garded primarily as an old age disease. Tt is <ionificant as a cause of mortality among those under middle age. | . 3.9 Viewed by Girls" Club | The New Trier Girls' club was en- | tertained Friday, October 28, in an | assembly given by Mrs. Webb who | conducts dancing classes in Winnetka. | Mrs. Webb's program consisted of folk and national dances from many coun- | tries. She first did a bright and] charming Spanish dance followed by | the happy, good-natured dance of the | Hollanders.. Mrs. Webb then gave a very humorous exhibition of how a | Grecian dance should not be done. | She also danced the graceful minuet | of the French, the Sailor's Hornpipe, | and an Irish Jig. The girls enjoyed this rather unusual assembly immense- ly and encored Mrs. Webb heartily. | As the president of the Girls' club, | Jane Burrill, said, after this assembly, | "The poetry of motion will not be | blank verse to any of the girls." 1177 Wilmette Avenue WILMETTE Ph. 2766 APrrointments dvisable | AA | | oe A nnouncin 7 the opening of the Winter Dancing Season [he (georgian Wednesday Evening November 9th and every Wednesday thereafter wit ron Dinner Served 7 to 9 No cover charge Supper Menu 9 to 12 Moderate cover charge ia OLE GL ER "Barney" Richards and his Georgians, a Cope Harvey Orchestra Reservations -- Greenleaf 4100 EVANSTON
