STATE TO AID IN MAINTENANCE
Board sidesteps Discussion of Proposed
High School Building and will take
Matter up at Special Meeting to be
Held Two Weeks Later.

The board of education at its reg
ular meeting on Tuesday evening took
definite steps for the establishment of
a school for the deaf children in Ke
nosha and with the opening of the. adj
dition to the Balm school one of the
rooms will be reserved for these child
rem. The work of providing instruc-
ton for the children will be to great
part paid for by the state as the al
lowance made for the education of the
deaf will practically pay the cost of
the new department. in the Kenosha
school. Seven children have already
been found who will be entered in the
new department and the selection of a
teacher to have charge of the depart
ment was placed in the hands of the
teachers committee. For some years
there has been a demand for such a
room in the city schools. The ques-
ton Of extending the manual training
work in the schools was also taken up
and the teachers committee was in
structed to take up the question of en-
ploying an additional teacher of man
ual training to have charge of the
work at the Weiskopf and Columbus
schools. Both of these schools are
presided over by women teachers and the
board held that it was all but impos-
sible to ask a woman teacher to teach
manual training.
The ungraded room has become a
fixture in the Kenosha schools and so
successful had the work been in these
rooms in taking care of backward
pupils that tie board has decided to
open ungraded rooms in the Durkee,
Balm and Frank buildings with the
opening of the new term. These
rooms will take many children from
the existing rooms.
The question Of the rebuilding OF
the high school which was expected to
come before the board at the meeting
on Tuesday evening failed to ma
terialize and the members Of the
board decided to hold an adjourned
meeting two weeks from last night
and this meeting will be given over
entirely to the discussion of the plans
for the building. The architect is still
at work or the plans as outlined by
the former board and the plans will
be ready for turning over to the board
by the date set for the adjourned SEES
sfon The members of the board seem
to be little in doubt as to just what
plan should be followed in connection
with securing the new high school and
they are considering the proposition
from all possible angles.
Efforts were made at the meeting to
bring up some old matters in regard
to teachers, but this matter was not
gone into and it is probable that it
will come up at other meetings of the
board On the recommendation of the
committee on teachers Miss Frances
o Hare was elected as "a first grade
teacher.

MUST GET TWO THIRDS TO SIGN
Eenosha Committee Appears Before the
Senate Committee and Consents to
Proposed Amendments but are notAs-
sured of Favorable Action.

Kenosha business men who as mem
bers of the Kenoshaf Retailers Asso-
citation appeared before the senate
committee on corporations in Madison
on Tuesday to urge the enactment of
the Pfennig bill making possible the
installation Of decorative lights IN
Kenosha, are hopeful that the bill will
be favorabIy recommended by the
committee and that it will be passed
by the state senate before the end Of
the present week.
The committee spent two hours hear
ing an argument on the bill during
Tuesday afternoon and at the close of
the session the members while declin-
ing to commit themselves admitted
that they were much more favorably
impressed by the bill than before.
The Kenosha men had the aid of mem
bers of the Milwaukee Merchants and
Manufacturers Association and also
the aid Of Assemblyman Charles Il.
Pfennig, who appeared with them be-
fore the committee. The greatest OBJ
lection to the bill was raised on ac
count of the power which it gave to
the common councils. The bill was
amended cutting these powers. As
amended it provides that the city coun-
Gil may not set aside any lighting dis
trict without 2lst receiving Il petition
from the property owners in the dis
trict and at the time the lighting con-
tract is given the city shall fix and
determine the portion of the cost of
the lights to be paid by the city and
the portion to be paid by the property
owners.
The original bill had given councils
the right to act on petitions signed by
a majority of the property owners in
the proposed district, but the amended
bill provides that these petitions must
be signed by not less than two-thirds
of Che property owners. 1t is not
thought that this amendment will in
terfere with the, plans for the lights
in Kenosha as it is declared that a
very large majority Of the property
owners have shown willingness to
sign pc .itions for the lights
Immediately after the amendments
had been agreed upon the committee
went into executive session and it is
possible that some report on the bill
will be sent to the senate either this
evening or on Thursday.
The Kenosha committee was made
up Of President W. H. Robinson;
Charles II. Goodman, chairman of the
special light committee, and Michael
Bode. All Of these men made strong
arguments before the committee in
support of the bill.
During their stay in Madison the
members of the retailers association
took this chance to make an inspec-
ton Of the Central Market" main
tanned for that city with a view of
using it as model for similar in
stitution in Kenosha. The Madison
market failed to meet with favor, the
members of the committee holding
that it was too far from the business
section of the city and not properly
equipped to take care of the demands
of the rural population.

Lesson From the Past.

The agent of the accident insur-
ance company had tackled Noah.
According to your own story, un-
cIe," he said, you are going to be
afloat in a short time in ship built
on dry land, without any motive pow
er, and you don't know thing
about sailing vessel, anyhow. You
can't tell what may happen to you.
Don't you think you'd better take out
some accident insurance."
Young man." said Noah, Eve lived
to be 600 years old and I'll be still
alive when you and your insurance
company have persisted from the face
of the earth. Will you please step off
the gangplank? You're in the way OF
the animals that are trying to come
aboard"
Noah, as we learn from the records
was no victim of misplaced conf
dence.. either He fingered $50 years

cAcHET FOR THE PETTIcoAT
Effect of Costume-Also May
Be Worn Around Bust.

The question of petticoats is a most
important one just now, for with the
narrow skirts and the lacy underslips
required by fashion, one wonders how
a girl is to acquire even that semi
clothed look that is rather expected of
her, for her colored stockings will
show at the knees if she wears lace
petticoat, and there is no room for her
skirts-however, a band of ribbon
about six or seven inches wide can be
run on fiat at the knees and will great
ly add to the effect of her costume An
other wide ribbon may be worn
straight around the bust under the
arms and will bring out the lace bras
siere on top of her princess slip, and
in the uncorseted days, if the ribbon
be boned slightly at front and back.
may really be worn with well-made
lace brassiere instead of corset, If
one be of the ultra slim figure that is
now en- regle.

with thin materials that have colored
border designs, whether hand worked
or included in the weave.
Just how different are the methods
CT utilizing border embroideries for
dress trimmings from those of other
seasons is demonstrated in the model
sketched for today The material Of
the frock is a soft, fine white wolfe,
with an oddly patterned border de-
sign outlined in coral and white
floss.
The lower edge of the design is
cut out in deep points and scallops.
and this is used for the lower part Of
the blouse, with one of the points
running up over either shoulder In
front and In back. The rest of the
blouse is of plain plated voile made
with elbow-length sleeves cut in one
with the sides. A small, round collar
finishes the neck, and row Of little
coral buttons is set down the cen

The tunic skirt has the cut-out bor-
der at the bottom, and is mounted
evenly to the waist with gathers. The

ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with a
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp

and if scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
