The North Shore Abatement District, by \vhich term we refer to a group· of active, determined individuals, and not to a certain area of 150 square miles, will eradicate the mosquito nuisance. Of this we have not the slightest doubt. Even if ftoods from the heavens should wash away each successive coating of oil we are sure that the summer of 1928 will not see, hear, or feel mosquitoes in North Shore towns. It's a question of the survival of the fittest, and we know who is the fitter in this particular situation. The mosquito was eradicated in the Panama Canal Zone. The mos- ·· quito will be eradicated in the North Shore Zone. · Every North Shore individual can assist the Abatement officials, and especially Supe(intendent ~dwards, in this splendi.d work. Every householder can see to tt that there are no mosquito breeding places about his honte-no empty cans, no clogged-up \Vater troughs, no spots where water can stand long enough to serve as a home for wrigglers. Let every single t)ne of us-young and old alike-lend an active and \villing hand. As we were traveling to Chicago a Saturday or two ago we were compelled to hear a mother (we suppose she was) reading to her three youngsters, aged about six to nine. We sat just one seat in front of the quartette. Had there been a vacant Don.'t Force seat elsewhere in the dae Children.! car, we should have gone after it. . It certainly was unpleasant to hear that woman. In the first place her voice was high and hard. In the second place her words pursued one aqother with a speed that was genuinely distressing. Every little while we'd hear such words as protoplasm, variation, and survival. Evidently she was reading to these poor little things Darwin's Origin of Species or Morgan's Principles of Epigenesis. At intervals she would pause and explain s.ome unmanageable polysyllable. Did that woman (we really hope that she was not a mother) believe that she could make . the children as wise as Darwin or Morgan by reading to them this highly inppropriate stuff? Evidently she did. Otherwise why was she feeding it to them? SOmebody ought to tell this misguided woman to put the science books back on he shelf and read to the children in a less leasant voice Puss in 1 Boots or Pinoc- Having· lived for several years in a ftat which we rented, a house which we rented, a house which we owned, and a hotel aparttnent which we rented, we Which trust that we know something about the desirability Is Best? of each mode of living. If . then some young husband should ask us which of the four kinds of living ·we should recommend for him, we really think that he \v.ould do well to consider carefully our reply. We should advise hint to live in his own home, a small house in the suburbs. We should urge hitn not to rent a house, .if he could possibly afford to buy. And the house should be small but s.o planned that he could add to it when the need arose. He would probably be getting more pay when the need arose. We should recommend that he get a fairly deep lot, 180 feet or more. be .the next best Renting a house would _ thing to buying. Our young husband's offspring would ntver know, perhaps, that the house was rented. But the husband and wife would not enjoy living in a rented house so much as they would en joy living in tbeir own home. In the very first place they would miss the satisfaction that comes fr.om using what is one's very own property. In their own home they would have to carry more responsibility, but the load need .not be irksome. If the young couple have a fatnily they · ought not even look at a flat or a hotel apartment. Children nutst have a house and their own back-yard. Baseball is a great sport, without doubt the great An1erican game. But it is npt a game to be played in the streets. ~erhaps city children living in congested netghborhoods have good reasons for playing in the streets. They have no vacant lots within Play Ball OH a tnile or so. The only the Streets p 1a c e available to then1 is the street. But it doesn't seem at all necessary in our North Shore suburb~ to have streets used for baseball grounds. There are plenty of vacant lots. Even if the lot is a block away it's much better than a street. It is by no means pleasant for an autoist to drive up a street on which children are playing ball. In the first place there is some danger that one of the youthful players will be injured. In the second place the autoist as he passes by is likely to be the recipient of remarl{s more or less disparaging, if not worse. The streets are for wheeled vehicles, not for playing children.

' ' -Olivia Kingsley. How Very Startliq! Our great and near great Chicago Dailies are making the alleged strange discovery that the recent renovation of our commonwealth's political household has not as yet cleared up the crime situation and that men who only a few weeks ago were at each other's throats, so to speak, get along famously now as co-guests at important dinner gatherings. Now isn't this all very alarming? Well, not so very, when one considers that the rejected members of the p. b. are still in the saddle? And, besides, politicians must not necessarily be "mad" at each other between campaign periods. Verily, it is an intensely interesting game, this politics business.

A Trqedy The atmosphere of gloom which prevades "Hy" Cazel's corner drug emporium in Wilmette is attributable solely to the fact that "Tom," mouser extraordinary, bas gone the way of all flesh, and that in a most mystifying manner. It seems,' my dears, that Tom was a victim of symptoms. At least none of the wiseacres who drape themselves about the place could render any more satisfactory diagnosis. At first appraisal the old fellow appeared to suffer nothing more serious than spring complaint so the staff of embryo medicos-Willie, Johnny, Marjorie, Ed and "The Doctor"-applied the prescribed remedy. The shock, however, proved too much for Tom's sensitive nature and he politely turned up his toes, another victim to medical experimentation. The pictures produced by amateur photographers are often time unusually · artistic. For ·example, the recent pictures on the covers of our own papers were certainly attractive with the shimmering A Word to PqtJ' water in the foreground, the lines of the So the fact that some people like sugar in their branches and the twigs etched against the vegetable soup struck you as neither a familiar gray sky, and the flat lands leading the eye nor a splendid thought?
