16 WINNETKA TALK July 21, 1928 rm ee Jane Darling Wins Second Prize at Post Horse Show The Horse Show at Fort Sheridan Friday and Saturday of last week was an interesting spectacle, both from the standpoint of fine horses and splendid equestrianship. It was an event ap- pealing to many society folk who came from the city, all along the north shore and from Milwaukee either to be participants, spectators, or both. Saturday brought the largest crowd ever in attendance at a Post show, it is said. Jane Darling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Darling of Kenilworth, won a second prize, a silver cup for her part in the events. Jane, who is just 14 years old, rode Mrs. William Sid- ney's mare, "Kathleen," and piloted Hobart Young's hunter, "Babe," over the jumps. She won the silver cup while riding "Kathleen." Jane rides her own horse, "Lady Jane," at Indian Hill Riding club every day, but because it was too tall, it did not qualify in the class at Fort Sheridan. Mr. and Mrs. Darling were among the box holders at the horse show. Sitting with them were Miss Dorothy Darling, Miss Mary Fowler, Miss Gertrude Mathews, Mrs. Sidney Y. Ball, and Mrs. Karl Korrady. Playground for Children Sunset Ridge Feature A playground for the children is an attractive feature that Sunset Ridge has put in on their grounds. It was officially opened last Thursday and from now on there will be an atten- dant provided to watch the children playing on Thursday and Sunday af- ternoons and evenings. At other times parents desirous of having their children supervised while on the playground, can make special arrange- ments for someone to be there. The playground, though not elabor- ate, contains most of those things so necessary for the amusement of the younger generation. The equipment includes a merry-go-round, giant stride, see-saws, slides, sand boxes, some of which have canopies to pro- vide shade and netting to keep away the unusually large mosquitoes of this year, and a tent furnished especially for kiddies. There will be games of quoits and horseshoes for the older ones. The playground has been placed under the trees in the grove on Sun- set Ridge road and will undoubtedly become a popular rendezvous for those of the younger set whose mothers and fathers are among the golfers at Sunset Ridge.

Health Commissioner Warns Against Child Diseases for Babies The mistaken idea that it is best for a baby to get measles, whooping cough, and similar diseases and "have it over with" has been responsible for the needless death of many babies, declares Chicago Health Commissioner Arnold H. Kegel in his advice to mothers of ten months old babies is- sued this week in the bulletin of the health department. These diseases are much harder on young babies than older children, warns the letter to mothers. The older a child is before contracting a con- tagious disease the less likely he is to die, and nowadays there is a good chance that he will escape them al- together if he is reasonably well pro- tected from anyone who coughs, sneezes, or has a running nose, in- flamed eyes, sore throat or rash on the skin. According to records for 1926, there were 3,514 cases of measles in chil- dren under the age of six years, with fifty deaths. Scarlet fever caused 40 deaths of young children, diph- theria 150 and whooping cough 70.
