Are birds able to think and remem-
Der where they have been well cared
for? A gentleman living in Leith Is
in the habit of feeding the birds which
frequent his garden during the winter
months. Some time in January, 1911.
he enticed a greenfnch to enter a
cage and so captured it. 1t was wear
ing a ring on its leg marked "Aber-
deem University, 1885,.
In the following March he set it at
liberty, declares a correspondent of
The Scotsman He was much sur
prised when on January Is, 1912, the
bird returned. On his cage being pre-
sented to him, the bird hoped con-
tentedly into it and settled comforta-
bly, down for the severe season. An
examination of the ring left no doubt
as to the identity of the bird.

SPEAKS FOR WOMEN.
Mrs. M. G. o'Donnell of This City Ad
dresses Crowd at Milwaukee Fair.

Mrs. NJ. G. 'Donnell of this city,
was the speaker for women at the state
fair at Milwaukee on Thursday, and she
had the honor of addressing a crowd
of thousands of people from all parts
of the state, in support of the amend
Iment to the state constitution, provid-
ing for women voting. Mrs. O'Donnell
had not expected to speak at the big
gathering, but when Mrs. Clara L..
Laddey, president of the Jersey Won
an Suffrage Association found it i'm
possible to reach Milwaukee the Ken
-osha woman was substituted for her.
Mrs. O'DonneH made brilliant argu-
ment in favor of the amendment and
many times during her address she was
interrupted by prolonged cheering from
the great crowd. Mrs. O'Donnell has
been added TO the list of speakers work
ing under the direction of the Wiscon-
sin committee and she will have an
active part in the campo ign. One of
her addresses will be made in Kenosha.

WOULD LOCATE IT NEAR CITY
Committee is Ready to Make It's Re-
port Just as Soon as Some Agreement
Can be Made on Site to be Proposed
at November Session of County Board

The committee of the county board
headed by Chairman Frank Shuart, in
charge Of working out the plans for the
building of sanitarium for the treat
ment of patients suffering from tuber-
culosis, is now busy preparing its re-
port to the county board. The report
will be presented early in the Novem-
Der session of the board and it is
thought that it will meet with favorable
action on the part of the board.
The board is short Of sites for the
proposed sanitarium and members of
the committee are hopeful that some of
the people in the county who have sites
suitable for such an institution will get
into communication with the commit
tee at once.
The committee has visited a half a
dozen sites in the county and some of
these are found to be available for the
institution, but nearly all of them are
located some distance from Kenosha
and it is the desire Of the committee to
secure if possible suitable site for the
building some where near the county
seat. The members of the committee
seem to be agreed that it will be de-
manded by other members of the board
that the institution be located close to
the county seat Several Lake shore
sites have been suggested, but the COM
mittee seems to be favorable to secur-
ing a site a short distance from the
lake. In addition to the question of
sites the committee has also investigat-
&c the question Of the expense connect
ed with the building of the proposed
sanitarium. Racine county has APP
propriated a little over $4,000 for the
building of similar institution for
that county, but is not thought that
the demands of Kenosha will make so
large an appropriation necessary. The
committee are agreed upon plan or
building with view of having ad-
ditions possible in the future. The
plans for the institution submitted by
the state committee in charge of the
fight against consumption are of the
most modern nature and they give ample
provision for the growth of the insti-
tuition in future years. It is the plan
Of the local committee to provide for
the care of about twenty patients and
it is thought that this will be sufficient
ly large to take care of the demands
of Kenosha for the present time.
The interest that is being taken in the
work by people of the entire county
gives assurance that when the matter
reaches the board it will be favorably
acted upon.

Chicago Milk Dealers De-
clare Farmers Are Water
ing Milk Sent to City.
GET AROUND RESTRICTIONS

Due to the great shortage of milk
throughout this section Of the state
farmers are adulterating their product
which is being sent to the cities, &C.
cording to reports which come from
Chicago.
The complaints are being investi,
gated by health department. inspectors
and it is likely that the accused pro
ducers will be notified that they can.
not ship any more adulterated milk ia
Chicago dealers.
AS the dealers themselves have made
complaints it is asserted it was an in.
dication that they were trying to live
up to the provisions of the new milk
ordinance.
II learned that producers have put
cool well water into cans to cool the
milk, - said DR.. Young of Chicago
That is the excuse they give. The
same result, that is as regards cooling
can be obtained by putting the milk
cans into cool well water, not by put
ting water into the cans which con.
tain milk.
1t is expected that the department
tests on the accused producers supply
will be made public in few days.

SUPPORT NEW RATES
Expert Actuaries Testify
Increase on WoOdmen
Rates is Necessary.
HEARING At SPRINGFIELD

REIMBURSEMENT of the rates Of the
Modern Woodmen of America was nee
essary to continue the life of the in
stitution, according to actuaries, in
testifying Thursday as experts in the
injunction hearing between the insur-
gents and head camp in the circuit
court at Springfield, II.
George Dyer Eldredge of New York,
a consulting actuary for a number of
insurance organizations, declared the
condition of the Modern Woodmen on
December 81, 1910, demanded that the
rates be adjusted so that the organiza-
ton could continue in business and it's
members be protected on their insur-
ance. The statements of Eldredge
completely supported the stand taken
by the head camp of the Woodmen,
and he declared that if the rates had
not been readjusted at that time, the
members would have to be re-rated at
a later time, at a greater cost. It was
shown that under the 1903 rate with
twelve assessments a year, the amount
Of unprovided insurance per $1,000
ranged from $500 for twenty year old
members to $500 for men over rs years.
Frequent objections were registered
by Attorney E. S. Smith, representing
the insurgents to questions asked Of
Actuary Eldredge by Attorney Miller,
leading counsel for the head camp.
Most of these objections were over
ruled by Judge Robert B. Shirley who
is hearing the case.
The opinions given by the actuaries
who testified were based upon the
mortality tables Of the Woodmen of
America, the National Fraternal con
gress, the valuation of the institution
and from past experience in insurance
organizations. It is probable the Rear
ing will not be concluded for several
days. The arguments likely will take
two or three days.

Favorable to New Plan of Lighting.
Down town business men had an
informal discussion Of the plan to pro-
vide ornamental lights for the bust
ness portions of the city following the
meeting of the Retailers Association,
held on Thursday evening. It is GER
tam that a large majority of the bust
ness men are favorable to the installa-
ton of the new lights, with the under
standing that portion of the cost is
to be paid by them. Prominent Main
street business men are ready to take
out the petition, asking the council to
provide for the installation of the lights
just as soon as the special committee of
the council is able to give some exact
figures on the cost Of them. 1t is de,
clared that fully vo-thirds of the
Main street mer, IS favor the new
plan. Under tn ,lan that is being
proposed by the committee at least
one half of the cost of the lights must
be paid by the men directly benefited
by the installation of them.

GOES TO SUPREME COURT.

Polish Delegates to Convention Garry
Fight for Recognition to Higher Court
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Polish convention has adjourned it is
announced this afternoon that the fight
made by the three Milwaukee delegates
for seats in the convention, which was
decided against them on Thursday af-
ternoon by Judge Randall, will be car
ried to the Supreme court of the state.
The attorneys in the case were busy
today perfecting an appeal from the
decision of Judge Randall. They de-
clare that while the Supreme court can
not seat the delegates that the point is
a most important one and that they de-
sire to secure ruling of the Supreme
Court on it ON account of the fact that
such a, ruling will be of great value to
all Catholic organizations of a similar
character.

ARREST THREE FOR PERJURY.
Victor Mockus and Witnesses Named
in Warrants fcI Perjury.

Victor Mockus, one of the best
known saloon keepers of the north side
Of the city, Peter Borbut and Pavel
Flat, were arrested late Wednesday
afternoon on warrants sworn out by
District Attorney Henry Hastings
charging them with perjury. They ap-
peared in court and Mockus gave
bonds in the sum of $1,000. The other
two men are expected to give bonds
today. All three of the men were wit
nesses for Mockus when he was arrest
ed short time ago on charge Of sell
ing liquors to minors. At that time
the three went on the stand and swore
that Mockus did not sell liquor to the
minor in question. The evidence was
very strong in support of the case of
the state and it was at the suggestion
of Judge Randall that the three men
were arrested. The hearing Of the
case was continued until the afternoon
of=Septemher Goth.

infection of few fines would bring

for Kenosha and the police need not

if the fines are assessed against any of
the local drivers who are paying not

Parcels Post in Rural Districts.
The postmaster at Kenosha has re-
ceiyed no word from Washington re-
garding the establishment of zone
system, but the following Washing
ton dispatch is of interest:
The postofice department has de-
cided that every postmaster shall work
out the parcels post zone of which his
Office is to be the center. The depart
ment will undertake to furnish post
masters with information that will
enable them to perfect the new sys-
tenn. 1t is pointed out at the depart
ment that if a complete parcels post
system should be installed there would
be in the neighborhood of 10000 zones
and that for the department. to work
out this number Of zones it would en-
tail an enormous expense.
While Postmaster General Hitch
cock expects to begin introducing the
new system the first of January, the
time fixed by law, it will be the mid
die of the next year before any con-
siderable number of postofices are des-
ignated as parcels postof6ces. At the

The fact that all parents consider
their own offspring infinitely superior
to all other children and therefore en-
titled to special privileges not granted
to others was perhaps never better il
lustrated than in some of the complaints
made to the superintendent and mem
bers of the school board on the new
boundary lines established this fall for
school attendance. That the superin-
tendent and the board are doing the
best they can under adverse conditions
to provide for all of the children of the
city in the schools never seemed to enter
into the calculations of these parents
and some of the changes they demanded
for better accommodations for their
children, would have required the i'm
mediate erection of new buildings or an
entire change in the whole system of
school attendance. Some of the COM
plants, many of which had to do with
the use of basement rooms, cannot be
adjusted to the satisfaction of the par
ents making them, apparently, although
the board expressed itself as willing
to do everything in its power to remedy
conditions complained of. In spite of
the fact that the basement rooms in
use in two of the schools have been
pronounced perfectly sanitary and
healthful by sanitary experts and
physicians, the board recognizes the
strength Of the prejudice existing
against basement school rooms and
would rent other rooms for the accom-
mediation of the pupils now compelled
to attend school in these rooms il there
were any other quarters to be obtained
Up to date however the board and the
superintendent have been unable to
fnd any other rooms suitable for the
purpose and there the matter rests at
present. AS for arbitrarily transferring
certain children to make room for GER
tain others, that is of course impossible.
All the children in the schools look alike
TO the school authorities and all have
exactly the same rights and privileges.
Requests of parents for transfers to
other Buildings to get the children out
OF the basement rooms win be complied
with SO far as possible, but here as
everywhere else it win be a case Of
FIRST come first served. At present the
prospects are that the board will be
hard put to it to find places for all the
ehildren that must attend school before
the school year is well under way using
she basement rooms and every avail
able inch Of space at its disposal.
