Military men have calculated that it
would cost the United States million
dollars day for two years to make
armed intervention in Mexico sue
cess. This is a great deal OF money,
but the estimate may be too high.
Cutting it in half, however, as to the
amount Of the cost per diem, the result
is half million day for two years,
which is no trifing sum- But would
the extra outlay cease at the end OF
two years? Who believes itg Further
more there are reasons for believing
that letting go would be as hard at
least as taking hold. Unfortunately
however, the necessity for taking hold
may yet arise, and therefore it is well
that not all the preparations for this
undesirable contingency be left to the
last moment. Under existing circum-
stances the passage Of the Hay army
volunteer bill is not unwise.- Evening

GAIL SEEKS DIVORCE.
G. H. Gail, Formerly Well Known Here,
Seeks Decree in Chicago Courts.

It became known in Kenosha today
that Charles H. Gail, formerly promi-
nent among the employees of the Sim
mons Manufacturing Company and
now head Of the Gail Manufacturing
Company of Chicago had instituted an
action in the courts Of Cook county,
seeking a divorce from his wife, Mrs.
Leora Gail. Desertion is alleged in the
complaint. The court has issued an
order directing that the plaintiff pay
the defendant alimony in the sum Of
$40 month for the support Of the
two minor children pending the deci-
sion on the suit. The Calls have not
lived in Kenosha for several years but
recently Mrs. Gail, who had been liv-
ing at her home in Indiana came to
kenosha with her two chilrrcn and she
is now making her home on DAYTON
street. She declared this morning that
she had no knowledge of any action
for divorce until after the papers had
been served on her. Since Mrs Gail
went to her home in Indiana some time
ago, Mr.. Gail has been living at a
boarding house in Chicago. After leav-
ing Kenosha Mr. Gail went to Toronto.
Canada, where he was active in the
manufacturing world and later he re-
turned to Chicago where he organized
the company which now bears his name.

Inasmuch as the postal authorities
have declared unavailable cards bearing
particles of mica, glass, metal, sand and
similar substances except when enclos-
ed in tightly sealed envelopes which in
effect makes them letters instead of
postcards, the department should go a
step farther and issue !. fraud order
preventing the manufacture and sale
of these cards under the name of postal
cards Under the name of postal cards
the inference is conveyed to the pur-
chaser that they are mailable as they
are sold which is clearly fraud on the
buyer. There are hundreds of varieties
of these tinsel cards on the market and
while many of the dealers are careful
to call the attention of the purchasers
to the postal regulation in regard to
them the fact that tens of thousands OF
the cards find their way into the post
offices and are destroyed is proof posi-
tive that many purchasers Of these
cards are being defrauded.

Have you paid 'em yet! The nicllles
and the dimes, the quarters and the

the city treasurer this morning when
the work of collecting the biggest tax
levy ever known in the history of the
city was started and there were a few
people who wanted to get their names
on the roll of honor by being among
the first, if not the first, to pay the tax
for the year. The warrant reached the

the city. OF this amount 1923, 1854 is
shown on the regular tax roll of the
city while $145,691.19 is placed On the
roll by the state as income taxes. Of
course some of the income taxes will
be offset by the payment of personal
property taxes, but it is certain that
the amount collected by the treasurer
during the tax paying period will be
well over the half million mark. The
warrant turned over to the treasurer by

City Officials Serve Formal
Notice Against Obstruc-
ton of Division Street.
COMPANIES MAY FIGHT ORDER

This morning a formal order signed
by the mayor and members of the
street assessment committee of the
common council was served on the Of
ficials of the Wisconsin Gas and Elec-
trio Company, the Kenosha Home Tele-
phone Company and the Western Union
Telegraph Company, directing these
companies to provide at once for the
removal of all poles and wires now
IN use on Division street between Mil
waukee avenue and the city limits and
directing that all wires on this street
be laid IN conduits on or before the
10Th day Of next April The notice is
IN form provided in the ordinance re-
Gently passed by the council and it pro-
vldes that the officials of the companies
to which it is directed may appear be-
fore the council at the next meeting
and show cause Why the council should
Withdraw the order. The order is in
exactly the same form as the order is
sued IN regard to conduits on West
Park street. Thus far the officials of
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany have paid no attention to orders
to place wires under ground, but it is
supposed that this company is prepared
to put in conduits as provided for in
the city ordinance. The telephone
company, however has not agreed to the
plan and notice has been served on the
city already that the company does not
desire to put conduits in on either
Park street or Division street. It is
expected that there will be an appear
ance on the part Of both of the com
panles at the first meeting Of the coun-
Gil in January. Officials of the tele-
phone company have indicated that if
necessary an appeal will be taken to

State officials are said to be perturb
ed over the high state tax this year to
the extent that they are standing on
their technical rights to the extent of
returning reports of levies made by
the county clerks to them to have
small items like the amount which the
counties pay to the insurance fund for
insurance on the county buildings, for
which payment is made directly by the
county to the state, which county
clerks have been a austomed to appor-
tion as state taxes, put in the levy as
county taxes. Not dollar is to be
added to the state levy that .es not
belong there under the strictest con
struction of the law and the attitude
Of the state officials is easily under
stood The state tax is plenty large
enough without including a dollar in
it that can be switched to some other
apportionment. The switching of ac-
counts makes no difference to the man
who pays the bills, however. He pays
the same amount whether he pays it in
the county or state tax levy.

ing work All Night.
People who visited the down town
districts of the city on Monday even
ing saw new sight for Kenosha. A
score of carpenters worked all night on
the Isermann-Burke building on Mar
ket Square and for the first time in
the business district of the city humid
red electric lights were called into use
to aid the workmen in getting the
building ready for the roof. The con.
tractor is anxious to get the brick
work in the building completed while
the favorable building weather holds
out and in order not to delay the brick
layers it was decided to put on an
added force of carpenters for the night.
The large number of lights for the
working carpenters attracted lot of
attention. 1t is expected that the
walls of the building will be up by the
end of the present week. A record is
being made in the erection of the
building for winter york in Kenosha.

The attempt of the Milwaukee ply
slclans to organize the doctors of the
state with the object of multiplying the
new marriage law relating to certi-
fcates Of health by having ali doctors
refuse to make the required examina-
tion and issue certificate for the three
dollar fee set by the law, is probably
justified from their standpoint, but it
will not work, Their contention that
it would be necessary to make labora-
tory tests if the kind of certificates
that it was the intention of the franz
ers of the law to require applicants
for marriage licenses to secure are to
be issued by reputable physicians, and
that these tests cannot be made for the
fee set is probably correct, but it will
be found that it is possible to procure
license without going through such
an elaborate examination as the law
contemplates. a prominent physician
of this city when asked in regard to
the effect of combination of doctors
such as is proposed, remarked that ply
sicians in this and every other city Of
the state could be found who would is
sue certificate that the marriage Ii
cense clerks would be obliged to accept
for the fee allowed by law and he
stated nothing but he facts.
