METTE LrFE: I shall indeed appreciate the publication of the following in the next issue of your valued medium : The mosquito conditi?n o_ f the S_kokie and neighborhood sttes ts certamly to be deplored in view of the recent expenditures of the Mosquito Abatement organization on this work. Insofar as the Skokie itself is concerned, perhaps a few trillion have been eliminated from this mortal existencebut what are a few trillions compared to the many brethren still left to chew their way through the homes of the north shore residents? The many pounds of dynamite used in this work during the last couple of months have surely done wonders to lessen the population of some of our beautiful birds residing in the Skokie area; have perhaps made some headwav toward increasing the flow of water in the Skokie Ditch; and undoubtedly have caused much speculation as to whether Cicero had moved a few wards to our beautiful area, or that the wild and woolley West had really moved itself back to what we thought had become civilized. In the past several years, the writer can think of nothing proving itself more effective in the abolition of the mosquito reign of terror than those poor chaps who travel around all day with a tank of oil and kerosene on their backs, feeding our winged enemies a drink which would put the cheapest bootlegger to shame. This method has certainly proved itself effective and starting with the territory immediately surroundi'n g Ravinia park, One of the exclusive advantages of quality of the furnishings, table gradually spread over the entire north shore with unanimous acceptance.
