Measles Is a Serious Disease The state health department today cautioned mothers to regard measles as a serious disease for chil-! dren, and the warning was reiterated by representatives of the Elgin city health department. Dr. Roland R. Cross, state health director, said the number of cases in Illinois has exceeded 17,800 SO far this year. "There has been no doctrine more fruitful of tragedy than that of the ancient idea of letting children have measles early to get it over with," he said.

Doctor Cross advised isolation of children in epidemic areas and keeping youngsters under six years of age away from older school children. The danger of measles, he added, lies in the developing of pneumonia, latent tuberculosis and diseases of the eyes, ears, kidneys and lungs. There has been considerable measles contagion in Elgin this year; and at the present time there are 30 cases on the department's records. Thus far during April as many more cases have been released from quarantine. The cases reported here are "the real article" so far as measles are concerned and are not the so-called' "German measles" or mild Parents should consult their family physician immediately, spokesmen for 1 the department said.

as soon as any evidence of measles develops. Announce Approaching Marriage of Daughter Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lounsbury an-! nounce the approaching marriage of daughter. Helen May, to Mr.

Hold Dinner Meet Mrs. Betty Brown, who in business life is Betty Stubbs, of "Stubbs, Montgomery, Inc." an all-woman organization, was the guest speaker before the members and guests of the McHenry County Business and Professional Woman's Club at a dinner meeting held in the Baptist Church on Monday evening. Mrs. Brown, a stylist urged her listeners to distinguish between fad and fashion. A fad has a short life, a fashion or style to remain starts in a cycle.

It increases in volume until it reaches a peak. There it remains as long as women adopt the style. Then is the time for every women to forget to be conservative and have the fun of wearing what all fashion stylists have decreed as correct. This style holds good for both hats and clothes. Hats have turned to flowers this season, a decided feminine touch, which we find in dresses, suits and coats, and this feminine touch.

will be found to hold over for another season or longer. Our clothes should be appropriate to our life or our job. An office lob requires a more tailored attire. if we are to live in them all day or work in them in a large City. In smaller towns, a more frilly outfit can be worn and be correct.

If we are only a housewife. choose an attractive house dress. For gardening, the slacks and shirt are comfortable. Always feel right in the clothes your are wearing, and select your clothes with care as to basic features. A woman can wear any color, states Mrs.

Brown. Your make-up is your helpmate, and proper rouge and lipstick turns the trick. Along with more feminine clothes and softer lines, the skirts are to be a trifle longer, not much. The shoulder line is still broad. Frappe cocoa will be a popular brown shade for Fall, along with brown rum, a red brown, and the very dark, town brown.

The soft brown and I black will be combined. A new wine, cherry bounce, a lively wine, will be very good and women who have liked wine should adopt it this Fall. There will also be lovely greens in a variety of shades. Always remember, "It is becoming" to me. Be clothes conscious, but vot conscious of your clothes.

Mrs. Brown answered many questions from the floor. She was full of her subject and the group were happy to have had the opportunity of hearing her. Miss Gladys Laughlin chairman of the meeting introduced the speaker. Mrs.

Mary Endres, presided, and welcomed the guests who were from Harvard. McHenry, and Woodstock. Mrs. Endres introduced Miss Florence Ecklund of Joliet, chairman of District 2, who spoke briefly as did also Miss Jane Aker, president of the Harvard club, who was also introduced by Mrs. Endres.

The dinner was served by the Baptist ladies and was very delicious. Spring blossoms adorned the tables. The speaker and the place of meeting for May 20th will be announced later. HOSPITAL NOTES. Mrs.

Fred Meyer of McHenry is a surgical patient today. Mr. Norbert Yegge of W. McHenry is a surgical patient of the 26th. Mrs.
