Date is Changed for National War Census Village Has Been Divided Into Sec- tions for the Registration of Wil- mette Women for War Service. The committee in charge of the registration of women in Wilmette during the week/ of November 1st for the war census, which is being taken under the auspices of thewo- man's committee of the Council of National Defense, has decided to fol- low the plan of house-to-house regis- tration instead of establishing cen- tral registration places. The village has been divided into sections, which correspond to the precincts used in the elections. The houses in each section will be .vis- ited during the registration week by members of the precinct registration committee. The registrars will ex- plain the cards and the purpose of the census, in order to have the regis- tration here conform with the pro- gram arranged by the national com- mittee. Although the registration is not compulsory, the National Council of Defense wishes to list all the women in the United States for war work, that they may be called upon to do in the future, if any emergency should arise. In order to accommodate everyone, the Wilmette committee, of which Mrs. C. R. Smith is chairman, will open a registration office two eve- nings each week to register women employed during the day. The boundaries of each precinct and the captains in charge of the registration in this section are as fol- lows : Precinct No. 1, extending from the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks to the lake, north of Wilmette avenue and Forest avenue. In charge t»f Capt. Mrs. D, M. Grltie, 1115 Elm- V* V>i» e tCuiit-.

Precinct No. 5, east of Seventh street and Broadway avenue, south of Forest avenue to the lake. In charge of Capt. Mrs. O. Von Frag- stein, 230 Hill street. Women who expect to be out of town during registration week are requested t6 notify Mrs. C. R. Smith, who will arrange for their registra- tion.

The Wilmette police are searching for George Baumeuller of Gross Point, who is charged with shooting and probably fatally wounding his brother-in-law, Rudolph De Groot, following a quarrel at the home of his mother, Mrs. John De Groot, on Tuesday evening. According to Herman De Groot, a brother of the wounded man, who was an eye-witness to the shooting, Rudolph had been called to protect his mother from Baumeuller. After a few words, Baumeuller is said to have ordered De Groot from the house, and,*in order to get him out, he is said to have reached for a shot- gun which belonged to Herman, and shot Rudolph. The bullets lodged in the hip of De Groot and he was dragged from the house by his younger brother to some neighbors, who called for a doctor and the police in Wilmette. The wounded man was taken to the St. Francis hospital in Evanston, and the attending physicians have slight hope for his recovery. Following the shooting, Baumeuller took the shotgun and a box of cart- ridges and left the house. Mrs. John De Groot swore out a search warrant before Police Magistrate E. P. Dun- shee, and the police were ordered to find Baumeuller. The police searched the house in which the shooting occurred and then retired to wait for the fugitive's return. Believing he had hidden in a corn field near the house, two po- licemen were detailed to wait until morning and then search for him there. A number of citizens, armed tyj,th4. rifl*** Hf^lpp"! l-h» fiolirp .\re*>,pj the all night vigil and io make the search in the morning. The search which followed in the morning disclosed an empty box of cartridges and fresh foot prints. The police of Chicago and the north shore towns were notified of the shooting and a description of Baumeuller was furnished them. Rudolph De Groot had just been certified and ordered to report to the Rockford cantonment with the first draft quota. He is 28 years old, and has conducted a teaming business in Gross Point. fetete jag te MEMBERS OF WILMETTE GUARD WANT MACHINES LOCAL BOARD PLANS TO DRIVE OUT MOTH Committee Is Appointed By President of the Wilmette Board to Ex- terminate Tussock Moth.

""■■ Rowland Schwall, formerly of Wil- mette, left Fort Sheridan with the members of ambulance company No. 9, which was ordered to Chillicothe, The Wilmette village board, at its meeting on Tuesday evening, discus- sed plans for the extermination of the Tussock moth, which has been at- tacking the beautiful shade trees in. the village with a vengeance. A committee was appointed to re- port plans for a campaign to. drive the moth from the trees. Benj. E. Gage and Louis K. Gillson, repre- senting the oark board, spoke to the members of the council on the de- structive work of the moth, and out- lined the plans they have made to protect the trees in the park dis- tricts. A picture of the moth and an ar- ticle on the manner in which it works- after it has selected a tree, was pub- lished in the issue of The Lake Shore News of last week. The department of agriculture at Washington has prepared an article on the Tussock moth, and the brief reads as fol- lows : How Injurious--Under favorable conditions this insect is capable of in- creasing to enormous numbers and its caterpillars may completely defoliate the shade and park trees of a conn- rnunitj>";-F-!r.--pp^a^ •"■■*r-* *,«»i Co* =». i; ' »r*:.^ tacks aimost eviery variety of trees and especially poplar, soft maple, elm, alder, birch and willow. It is most destructive in cities. It is not abundant every year, being in the meantime kept in check by natural agencies, principally parasitic insects. Evidence of Infestation--From Sep- tember until the following spring; conspicuous, glistening white, frothy- looking egg masses, mostly low down on the trunk of the tree or on the main limbs. In the spring or summer: Leaves partly or entirely eaten by caterpil- lars up to over an inch in length with red head, three long black plumes at the extremities of the body and four yellow, brush-like tufts with two red spots behind them on the back. Also cocoons and egg masses on back of trunk, branches and oc- casional leaves in localities where more than one generation is pro- duced annually. Remedies--1. Destroy the eggs in winter, either by hand-picking or scraping them off and burning or by- spraying or dabbing them with creo- sote oil mixed with turpentine to keep it liquid in winter. 2. Spray infested foliage as soot* as injury by the caterpillars is no- ticed with lead arsenate. This is a .violent stomach poison procurable in most seed stores with directions for use, printed on containers. Pick Eggs By Hand. Apparatus--Hand picking or any simple device will do for treatment of the eggs. For spraying purposes a spray pump is necessary and the size of tile- equipment will vary with the amount, of work to be done. A barrel pump- mounted on a horse-drawn cart withfc one or two 50-100 feet leads of gar* den hose and a ten-foot bamboo rod* with a spray nozzle at the end will do for a small town. Cities will fin^t. advantage in horse or motors-draw)* power spray pumps. The catalogue* J of reliable spray pump manufacture ■ ers, giving detailed information, ar^i procurable in most seed, pump or** hardware stores and should be cou- sulted. ':..
