Men Interested in Manufac-
ture of Motor Cars Spend
Days at Rambler Plant
PLANT IS OPEN TO STUDENTS

Modern automobile advertising has
taken many turns and while the news
paper will always hold it's position as
the best medium for promoting sales,
the largest automobile factories are
now admitted to be very strong fac
tors in the sales campaign for those
cars made in the best equipped plants.
The Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, of
Kenosha, because Of the location of the
Rambler plant within the thickly Pop
ulated area adjacent to Chicago, has
taken advantage of this advertising OPP
portunity by inviting to the Rambler
plant all persons interested in the sale
or use of motor cars, and many stu
dents of modern mechanical methods
interested in the operations of plant
of such magnitude.
Scores of visitors are entertained at
the Rambler factory each week, as it is
located only fifty miles from Chicago
and can be reached within an hour on
a fast Northwestern express.
Ninety-six per cent of all Ranbler
parts are manufactured in this plant
and the visitors may see every opera
ton from the forging of the axles to
the putting on Of the final coat IF
varnish in the finishing of the bodies.
Many students interested in engi-
neering problems and the intricate
methods of manufacturing visit this
plant and some come to Kerosha to ac-
quire experience from the expert me-
chanics employed there.

DEALERS GROWING CARELESS
Claimed That Many People in Keno
sha as Well as Throughout the State
Fail to Observe the Laws in Regard
to Storing Explosives.

The state department. for the inspec-
ton of Illuminating oils is planning to
make a crusade against continued vio-
lations of the law in the sale of gaso-
line and it is limited that Kenosha is
to be one of the cities selected for the
opening of the fight. For some time
the state department. has been watch
ing developments in the state and it is
declared that hundreds of people in all
cities of the state are violating not
only the ordinances made by cities to
regulate the sale of gasoline and other
oils, but the state law is also being
violated. State Oil Inspector Meyer
has for the past few weeks been clamp
ing the lid down on all sorts of viola
tions along these lines and it is de-
clared that the move to enforce the
law will be one that will bring results.
Dealers and consumers of gasoline
are alike guilty of disobeying the law
and the law is fast becoming a dead
letter. The Kenosha ordinance in re-
gard to the sale of gasoline and similar
products is one Of the most drastic to
be found in the state and it goes just
as far as the state law will allow. For
a time this law was strictly enforced
by dealers, but the people have be-
come careless and it is probable that
this carelessness ~will result in lot
Of prosecutions within a short time.
Chief Of the fire department., FL. A.
Isermann has done much toward en-
forcing the city ordinance and nearly
every store in the city has met the
requirements of the city ordinance.
This is not true of many private con-
sumers of gasoline and the question
may arise as to whether or not there
will be prosecutions under the state law
or under the ordinances of the city.
Both are strict enough to keep the
courts of the county busy for some
time if all violators aye punished.
Local automobile owners seem to
be entirely in accord with the demands
of the state and the city for the en-
forcement of the law and one of the
leading manufacturers OF che city in
speaking of the matter said: EEThe
owners of automobiles do not object
to any reasonable restrictions to be
placed about the handling of gasoline
and they appreciate the fact that the
law is aimed to make safer the use
of gasoline. Most of the men in Ke-
nosha who purchase large amounts Of
gasoline for motor cars have fully com
piled with the law and it is the advice
of every manufacturer that the law
be complied to the very letter.
Just how soon the crusade is to
start is not made public, but it is I'M
derstood that it will be state wide
fight.

Whatever other result the presidents
great tour may bring, it should prevent
the failure or emasculation of the pend
inc 'tuniversal'' arbitration treaties.
Correspondents agree in recognizing
that Mr.. Taft has everywhere made
converts and votes for the treaties.
The audiences he has addressed on the
subject have evinced complete sym
pathy with his position and will un-
doubtedly urge their respective repfA
sentatives in the senate to ratify the
instruments in their original form.
Several senators, it has been reported,
have already announced a change in
their attitude in sense favorable to
the success Of the treaties.
The PRESIDENT arguments in behalf
of genuine and unlimited arbitration in
the sphere of arbitrable disputes are of
the kind that appeals to common sense
and civilized sentiment. Mr.. Taft
wants arD1tratlon that bites, -" as ne
says, arbitration without strings. I'M
aginary possibilities, which are
actual impossibilities to any unpreju.
diced mind, do not trouble him. He
wants arbitration because he believes
in peace and in limitation of arma-
ments. He wants peace because he
takes no stock in the absurd argument
that war alone develops or sustains
courage and efficiency. To him war is
murder and wholesale pillage
and destruction. To avoid it is duty,
honor and privilege.
This is the view which underlies the
pending treaties. The people ar .'ar

QUARiNTINED FOR D|PHTHER|A
Ohlcials at the Institution Declare that
Quarantine Will Go into Effect on
Wednesday and Continue Until Dis
ease is Stamped Out.

County Judge George w. Taylor this
morning received a formal communica-
ton from the officials of the state hos
p1tal tor the insane at Mendoza direct
ing that no more patients be sent to
that institution from Kenosha county
pending further notice from the direc-
tors in charge. The order is sent on
account of the fact that an epidemic
of diphtheria seems imminent at the
institution. In the letter it is stated
that four cases of the disease have
been discovered in the past two or
three days and that vast number Of
the six hundred inmates Of the asylum
have been exposed TO the disease. A
general quarantine Of all departments
OF the Institution will be ordered today
or tomorrow and the, unforaunates will
be shut off from all communication
with the outside world until all danger
from the spread of the disease has dis
appeared.
The order directs that pending the
lifting of the quarantine at the Men
dota institution that ali insane patients
be sent to the Northern Hospital for
the insane at Winnebago. 1t is under-
stood that similar orders have been
sent to every county in the state.
Kenosha county is one of the tier Of
counties particularly affected by the
order as at the present time this
county has more than forty patients
receiving treatment at Mendoza. No
list of the victims of the disease has
been given out and Kenosha relatives
OF patients will be anxious until they
receive word from their friends there.
AS soon as possible the attendants at
the hospital will answer the many let
ters pouring into the state institution.
This is the first time in wears chat
it has been found necessary to quaran-
tine any of the larger state institu-
items in Wisconsin. The officials de-
clare in interviews that the disease is
notlat the present time in dangerous
form and that the decision to quaran-
tine the institution was reached after
all the facts had been laid before the
state board of control.
With the reception of the hospital at
Racine the great bulk of the insane
patients from Kenosha county are
cared for at the quarantined institu.
tion.
At the same time Judge Taylor re-
ce1ved notice from the officials in
charge of the Home for the Feeble
Minded at Chippewa Falls, that it
would be impossible to receive more
inmates at this institution. Every cot
IN the institution is filed and some
further provision must be made by the
state board of control before other in
mates may be received. Judge Tavlor
recently sent two children to the home
and they must be cared for by their
friends and relatives until such a time
as room can be found for them at the
institution.

The effect of the state law which
will prevent any but full citizens from
voting at an election in Wisconsin
after the first Of December of next
year is already being seen in the great
increase in the number of applications
for second papers being filed with the
Clerk Of the Court. No one VINO has
faith in the naturalization laws as
they are at present administered can
regard this as other than most en-
couraging sign. Unless all signs fail
the men who have the education and
the knowledge of our laws and insti-
tutions requisite to pass these exami-
nations as they are at present conduct
ed have the makings of good citizens.

WOULD CARE FOR POOR OF CITY
Miss Edith Tate in Interview With the
Officials Declares that Nurse Would
Prove of Great Benefit in Reducing
Pauperism in Kenosha.

Miss Edith Tate OF Milwaukee, field
organizer for the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, was in Keno
sha Wednesday afternoon and today
presenting to Mayor Scholey and mem
bers of the common council the propo-
sition of employing visiting nurse
for the city. Miss Tate has been in
this work for some time and after
making an investigation of conditions
in Kenosha she declares that a visiting
nurse would prove a great benefit for
the city in that it would aid the city
IL reducing the number of dependents
and at the same time make provision
for proper care Of the children of the
poor when they are overtaken with i'll
ness. This work is one that is now be-
ing pushed by the Wisconsin associa-
ton and many of the leading cities of
the states have adopted the plan with
profit. Milwaukee has five visiting
nurses, Eau Claire, two; Racine, Rhine
lander, Fond du Lac, Superior, Osh-
kosh, Neenah and Sturgeon Bay, one
each; and Appleton and Green Bay
have arranged to add visiting nurse
to it's list of officials within the next
few months.
Miss Tate declares in starting her
movement in KenOsha that it does not
propose to bring a visiting nurse to
"start up the town" as was the case
with Miss Sarah Ryder, who was In
Kenosha the first month of this year.
Miss Ryder was the experiment and the
work that she did opened the way in
many cities for the common council to
the see the necessity of such an official
in cities. Miss Ryder, however, work
ed especially along the line of prevent
ing the spread of tuberculosis and the
work of the visiting nurse as planned
goes much further. To her is commit
ted Investigations of diseases among
the school children and by means Of
these Investigations it is made possible
to prevent the spread of such diseases.
The nurse is also supposed to offer care
for the families of poor people in the
city who are unable to provide for a
graduate nurse.
The cost of visiting nurse in Ke-
nosha would be in the neighborhood of
thousand dollars a year and while
the finances of the city at the present
time would not warrant the employ
ment of the nurse it is thought posi-
BILE that an appropriation could be
made at the time of the next tax levy
to be made in December Miss Tate
declares that her study of Kenosha
and conditions in the city warrant the
statement that the visiting nurse will
save the city not only enough to pay
for her support, but that in addition
her work will so result in the reduc.
ton of dependents in the city that in
the long run she will prove q great
asset to the city. A formal letter is to
be sent to the common council urging
the plan and it is expected that some
action on it will be taken at the next
meeting of the council.
Many of the aldermen are favorable
to the plan and as it is being explained
others are falling in line.

gerous, and do not possess one single
feature required by good construc-
ton Or established regulations and
as matter of fact, would not be
permitted anywhere where building
regulations obtain.
With regard ts school rooms, the
class room is the unit upon which
the plan it built up, and after laying
out the skeleton of the building
which comprises the corridors and
entrances, is the next feature to be
studied. 1t is usual to build class
rooms more oblong than square, and
admit all the light from one side.
However, this rule is sometimes
varied and the light is admitted from
two sides, the furniture being ar
ranged so as to have the light fall
from the left and rear. The maxi
mum width of standard class room
is "a feet, and very liberal length
is 80 feet Such room will accomo-
date 4S large single desks, arranged
with regulation spacing. Many class
rooms are built % feet by 80 feet
to accommodate the same number of
desks Amount of glass space in
each class room is supposed to be
equivalent to one quarter the floor
space, and the windows should be
massed so that the mullions between
same are reduced to a minimum,
say not over inches or inches.
Tie heads of the windows are made
square and carried as near as pos
sible to the ceiling line, and the
window sills are raised 8 1-2 feet

class room is supposed to be supplied
E, With a cloak room, and this cloak
room should communicate by two
Goors only with the class room and
should have an outside window, so
as to permit light and ventilation.
The entrances to class rooms should
be through wide doors 40 inches to
Al inches wide at points where there
is no possibility of congestion, so that
rooms can easily be emptied, within
two or three minutes. Comparing
there standard requirements with
| your plans, please note the following:
Dimensions of your rooms are such
| that there is considerable waste
srace. They are two wide and some
of them not long enough to accomo-
date maximum seating capacity. A
number of the rooms do not provide
glass space equal to 1T of the 1oer
space, and their windows are SO ar
ranged that large area of the room
; is out of the center of the lighting.
In addition to this fact, the windows
are. built with wide brick mullions
between from which cross shadows
will fall on the nearest desks. Most
of the cloak rooms are built like
closets on the inside of the building,
absolutely without light or ventila-
tion, and are made passagaways from
the hall to the class rooms so that
children can enter and leace them
without the knowledge or supervision
