First class songs, too, fine old songs;
none of your trashy stuff if you please;
though once in a while, of course,
some cne does say, "Now can t we sing
just one rag-time?" And then a good
jolly rag-time is sung. Then there is
plenty of physical exercise, marching,
and setting up exercises and other
muscle-relaxing and producing
movements, and old fashioned, dancing.
And there are games. But the best part
of the evening, so all of the girls think,
is the little heart to heart talk that
one of their women leaders gives them.
These women have gained their con
fidence and the girls respond with free
and frank discussion of the problems
presented. Sometimes it is regarding
habits, or the proper and correct ways
of doing various things tl-at every girl
must know, to take her true place in
society. Sometimes it is about their
speech-and it is wonderful how quick
they are to conform their language to
the most approved forms of club usage.
But most often it is about something
Of even more vital interest; something
that reaches way down into the lives
of the girls, and builds character The
women take pains to get true stories
of things happening in toWn--unfort-
innate things They go to the Judge
sometimes for information. And they
show these girls why such things hap
pen, and how they can be avoided
No need to show such girls what temp
tation is; great need to show them
how to keep out of it; how to be wise
and strong and pure.
So the girls come, and continue to
come. They are clamoring, eager, for
higher ideals They are willing to
sacrifice, that they may arise. Most of
them have now joined the night school,
for cooking and dressmaking, and come,
some of them score of blocks, three
nights week. And they never miss.
They are now busily at work making
their own gym suits, to wear in their
physical work.
AS you may have suspected, such
club required little more financing
than a penny month from it's mem
bers would account for. So there is a
third woman in the league, though she
does not appear at the meetings,
philanthropic woman of Kenosha. And
She has made possible also some ice
cream and other treats on some of the
hottest nights, and an automobile ride
when the whole club was taken out to-
gether. 1t had been a hot day and
three of those girls had worked right
next to a boiler all day. They appre-
ciated that ride!
What the club needs is a chance to
grow-room and opportunity to de-
velop in so many possible ways 1t
is doing the work; it deserves the most
hearty support. There is no reason
why this small beginning should not
develop into general and efficient set
Element work among the girls of the
city, if the women of the city will get
behind it. There is to be mass meet
ing of women at Guild Hall on Thurs
day of this week at 800 O'Clock to
discuss this very thing. This work
among girls which has been quietly go
ing on during the summer months is
now going to ask fer a larger CO.
operation. We believe it will get it,

BLAME SEWAGE FOR DISEASE
Officials of the Village Plan to Start
Action at Once to Force Cities Along
the Lake to Secure New Method for
Disposing Of Sewage.

| Ihe question OF the dumping OF sew
| age into Lake Michigan by cities along
the north shore is to be brought to an
immediate issue if the people Of the
suburban city of Kenilworth carry out
present plans and the president of the
village, DR.. R. B. Stolp, has been in
structed by the village board to retain
attorneys and bring an action to stop
The village president of Kenilworth de-
clares that the pouring Of sewage into
the lake by north shore cities is direct
| " responsible for the prevalence of ty-
phoid fever at Kenilworth. The COM
plant Of the Kenilworth people is di-
rected especially against the cities of
Waukegan and Kenosha and it is de-
clared that the sewage from these cities
is seen floating in the lake off KeniI-
| worth.
IF any action is brought it will be
brought in the United States court and
it is understood that when Kenilworth
E'goes courting'' she will include a
bunch of municipalities in the action.
Kenilworth has lot of wealthy people
and it is not improbable that when
these people start to fight that they will
be willing to spend considerable sum
of money to stop the pollution of the
| lake.
1t would be a decidedly difficult mat
ter for the people Of the cities on the
north shore to provide for proper handl-
| ing of sewage on short notice, but for
some time officials in all of the cities
| have been getting ready to meet such
a demand. There is a grave question
as to whether or not any court would
have q right to issue the injunction to
be sought by the Kenilworth people
| The control of the shores Of the lake
is vested in the legislatures of the var
lous states along its borders and it is
possible that before an injunction could
be successfully maintained it would be
necessary for the state legislatures of
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin to take some formal action. 1t is
pretty certain that no one of the cities
in Wisconsin would oppose such action
of the legislature. Milwaukee is al
ready making plans to clear up her
sewage problem and in couple Of years
the emptying OF sewers into the lake at
Milwaukee will be abandoned. It is
expected that Racine, Kenosha and 9th
er lake shore Wisconsin cities will fol
low the lead of Milwaukee.
The officials of these cities all appre.
cfate that from a standpoint of pro-
tecting themselves and their own wa
ter supplies some new plan should be
found for the disposal of sewage and
other waste. Kenosha is already MAX
ing an effort to find solution for the
problem and the building of the septic
tanks by the tannery will go long
way toward removing the cause of COM
plant against this city.
The Kenilworth officials promise to
start their fight at once and It is prob
able that the formal papers in the ac-
tion for injunction will be served on
officials in all the cities before the end
of the present year. 1t is understood
that several other of the suburban vii
lagos about Chicago will join with the
village of Kenilworth in the fight

Italians of the city thronged the
court house today to hear the evidence
in the murder trial of the state vs..
Leonardo DeCarlo, charged with the
wilful murder of Constantine Costanza,
and the case seemed to carry an unusu-
al interest for the Italian people, De-
Carlo was defended by Judge George
w. Taylor and early in the case the
course of the defense was outlined. 1t
was shown that DeCarlo will seek to
defend himself from conviction on
charges of murder by declaring that
he was under the influence of liquor at
the time the crime was committed 1t
is expected that DeCarlo will take the
stand in his own defense and while he
has declared that he has no memory of
the shooting he has insisted repeatedly
that he was very drunk at the time
the shooting took place.
The widow of the murdered man was
the first witness to be called ty the
state and her examination and cross
examination took up nearly all of the
Tuesday afternoon and this morning
sessions of the court. The story o. The
woman did not vary ip any way from
that told on the preliminary. A slim
pale woman with babe less than a
month old in her arms Mrs. Costanza
made an excellent witness for the
state. The attorneys for the defendant
sought to bring out prominently the
fact that DeCarlo had lived at the
Costanza home for more than eight
months and that in that time there had
been no trouble between him and the
other members of the household. Mrs.
Costanza declared in her evidence thai
tDeCarlo was drunk at the time he ca.
to the house on the morning of the
shooting and that efforts rad been
made to get him to go to bed and sleep
off his drunk. Mrs Costanza, the
mother of the murdered man, who was
also shot by DeCarlo, was the second
witness to be called by the state and
her story Of the shooting tailed with
that told by the wife.
Attorney Taylor in defending De-
Carlo, is seeking to save him from
conviction of charges Of murder and
he seems to be of the opinion that a
verdict of manslaughter in one of the
minor degrees would meet every de-
mand of the state. In his defense he
has held that while the fact that a
man was intoxicated does not excuse
him in the commission of crime, still
the condition of his mind was such as
to take away any claim that the muir
der was premediated or planned.
The taking of the evidence was slow
on Tuesday afternoon on account of
in securing an interpreter.
All the evidence of the principal wit
nesses must be taken through an inter
prefer. The attorneys in the case are
hopeful that the case viii be given to
the jury some time on Thursday after
noon or Friday morning. District At
torney Dr1lry has declared that the evil
dence OF the state will be practically
the same as was given on the prelimin-
airy hearing Of the case. DeCarlo is
seemingly taking great interest in
the case and he has at all times an
with him and is in constant
touch with his attorney in the examina-
ton of the witnesses.

advised to the facts.
An advance OF 10 per cent in wages
Is demanded This cannot be conced-
ed The wages of the miners were vol
unfairly advanced 10 per cent by the
operators In April. 1919, and business
conditions do not Justify a further ad-
vance at this time. The coal miners OF
this state receive as high. or higher,
compensation for their work than those
OF any state in the Union with the coal
from which that mined in the state
comes in competition. In August last,
the miners employed at 46 of the mines
OF this state, the records of which are
available. received an average wage of
1884 per day. and they could have
worked. had they elected so to do, 20
days during the month at nearly every
mine. The men themselves have not
complained in this regard. and II has
remained for union organizers from else
where to discover here a grievous wrong.
A emi-monthly pay day. an eight
hour work day and a check weighman
are demanded by the leaders Of the un-
Ion precipitating this strike. 1t is not
generally known that the operators OF
this state have paid their men twice
month for many months. An eight
hour work day was voluntarily put In
force In the mines some time before
the statute of the state required II.
There Is not mine owner In Colorado
who Will not permit his men to have a
check weighman OF their own selection
at any time. and the statute compels
II.
Much is made OF the alleged denial
OF the obvious right OF the miners to
trade with whom and where they please,
and to board where they will. The ans
wer Is simply that the men are not
and never have been denied these
rights. and those who do exactly as
they please In this regard are given
the same consideration by the mine
owners as other employees.
Better working conditions In the mines
are demanded. This is an indefinite and
all-inclusive demand. Conditions in this
state are recognized as far better than
In most OF the states OF the Union.
But the mine owners themselves, no
less than the miners, join In the hope
that still better conditions may come
ms time progresses. Coal mining is uni
versaily recognized as u hazardous and
dangerous business-haxardous for. the
mine owner and dangerous for the min
er. But the owner OF a coal property
Is neither brute nor a fool. He will
not knowingly subject his property to
destruction nor his men to unneces-
sary danger. Selfish interests alone die
tate contrary policy. Aside from this
the legislature OF the state recently
passed what has been characterized as
the most advanced and stringent law
OF any state In the Union regulating the
conduct OF coal mines. 1t is being Wig
orously enforced by the state authori-
ties. with the cooperation OF the mine
owners; and II win be well to await the

criticism OF existing operating methods

The further demand is made by the
leaders of this strike that the employ

liable properties cannot reasonably be
expected to comply with this demand.
