PROTECT THE CHILDREN

More children have been killed in
eighteen months in the districts
where factories, homes and shops are
all iumbled up than in all other parts
of Chicago together This fact APP
pears in a statement presented to
committee composed of Aldermen Nc
Cormick, Buck, Walker and Werner
by Aid. Merriam showing why the
city council should be authorized by
the legislature to create building dis
tricts or zones, as provided in a bill
he introduced last May for recon-
mendation by the council to the next
general assembly.
MANY streets in the congested
neighborhoods of our city are used as
Fairgrounds for the children" says
Aid Merriams statement. This is
especially true in the immediate vi
entity of public school. The coming
of business establishments and fac
tories into such neighborhoods in
variably brings more and heavier We.
hicles and increases the danger to the
children from accidents.
"The number of children killed
while playing on Chicago streets is
appalling. If we are to make our
streets safe for our children and re.
duce the number of little ones who
meet death on the public thorough
fares of Chicago, we must segregate
our factories and our shops and our
stores and keep them away from our
homes. Business and industrial neigh.
borhoods must be kept separate from
residential districts.
I'm addition to much desired re.
duction in deaths and injuries to chill.
dren and grown people, the creation
of business, factory and home zones
would bring about other important
benefits. II will protect against de.
probation of property values both the
home owner and the investor. IL
would materially lessen fire hazards
and bring smaller insurance rates. Il
would add to the enjoyment of our
home life by Kidding the places where
we live Of the nuisances Of clouds of
smoke belching from factories next

Point of Defeat.
ONLY FOUR LEFT IN
STRUGGLE FOR TITLE
DR.. ROsenbaum and A. M. Lovi-

BY JAMES O'NEALE.

There was nothing at all funny in
the match between Wylie c. Grant and
Abraham Bassford. jr., in the national
indoor tennis championship, at the 7th
Regiment Armory, yesterday afternoon.
Grant. out to win his sixth title, played
with deadly seriousness, and Bassford,
out to win his first, with even more
earnestness. Several questionable de-
cisions and other untoward happenings
put more Of strain than ever on the
players, and when Grant had won, 6-8,
ll-9, 60, after twice having been
within point of defeat, it was noticed
that the two players did not shake
hands.
Nevertheless. when the two left the
dressing room it was "Wylie" and
Bass" who spoke 10 each other.
Let's go get ginger ale," invited
Wylie.
"Surest thing you know, Wylie," re-
piled Bassford.
That is the effect Of the game. The
two old friends were mortal enemies
on the court. When the dust Of battle
