lBeachey, who will be the big thriller
at this years state fair, will receive
$1,000 a day for exhibition flights three
times each day on Sept. Is, 1s, II and
is.
If you are of the opinion that Lin
coin Beachey's loop and upside down
flying feats are performed at a high
altitude, and that the loop comes in
some rapid whirl like the old bicycle
loop in the circus. you are badly mis-
taken. Most persons believe that thew
will need field glasses to get a good
glimpse of Beachey when he loops in
the sky.
I But Beachey's looping is done at so
alarmingly low an altitude that the
expression of his face is plainly dis
cernable. Nine-tenths of the crowd
seem panic-strieken when the first
loop is made. They cannot realize that
disaster has not overtaken the in

In looping the loop so close to the

Times Out of Joint For
Making Big Expenditures
for Rural Roads in 1915.
CONTRIBUTIONS COME SLOWLY

Kenosha people do not seem to be
interested in the further Improvement
of the roads of Kenosha county at this
time and the crusade of the Kenosha
Automobile Club to secure fund of
$4,000 to secure the completion Of the
Sheridan Drive in the county is not
meeting the support that had been
expected. There are still four more days
in which collections for the fund may
be made and Chairman Albert Kluen-
der is working his head off to get
money, but it is a foregone conclusion
that the record amount sought will not
be secured.
The times are out of joint for large
expenditures for road work and men
Of the city who have been most active
in campaigns to raise funds in former
years have declined to aid this year.
They hold that conditions in the fnan-
cial world are too uncertain to lay
plans for big expenditures next year
and insist that Kenosha county has
done it's part in road work for while.
This feeling is SO general that if the
committee succeeds in raising fund
of $4,000 their work will meet with the
unstinted praise of the members of the
automobile club. This would insure
the expenditure of $4,000 on the i'm
provement of the Sheridan road next
year and with improved conditions it
is possible that funds for the compile
ton of the road through the county
could be secured in the following year.
County officials just at present are
looking out for some way to reduce the
taxes for the coming year and in or
der to do this it is thought that the
road fund will be one of the first funds
to be cut. The city of Kenosha paid
more than mill tax for county high
ways this year and it is thought that
at least part of this tax will be cut
off this year.
The people in the towns of the
county, with the exception of the towns
of Pleasant Prairie and Randall, have
already voted on raising road taxes for
next year. The town of Somers with
tax of $4,000 leads the towns of the
county. The town of Randall will have
special town meeting on August goth
to vote on the road levy and it is
probable that the town of Pleasant
Prairie will have a meeting about the
same time. People of this town had
counted on securing a very large
start on the improvement of the Sheri-
dan road from the fund collected by
the automobile club. With this fund
lacking it is feared that the town will
make only small appropriation for
road work next year.
It would be just as well to wait a
little while, said one of the members
of the county board this morning
The road taxes provided for this year
were entirely too high and there is no
doubt but that many of the blk tax
payers in the city would be glad to
see the county ease up little in road
building for next year. It is probable
that conditions will be much better in
another year.

The European war was today attri-
buted to be the cause for action on the
part of Master in Chancery Chas. Nor
rison in Chicago, when he filed petit
tion in the United States federal court
asking for an extension of time in the
holding of the sale of the property of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway Company.
In just what manner the war has af-
fected the sale is not known, but is be-
lieved to be due to the fact that it is
feared there will be too much money
tied up in caring for the road as it now
stands so that those who have~been
looked upon as the probable buyers of
the system would not bid it in were
the sale to be held. This is the third
time that the sale has been held up
within the last few months. 1t was
thought by the local officials of the
road that there would be no further
delay in the matter, but it is now
thought that in view of the action
taken by the master in chancery that
the much looked for transaction will be
delayed for several months to come.
Several weeks ago before the Euro
pean situation opened up to it's start
ling proportions of the present time the
United States court of appeals ruled
that the sale should take place as or
dered by Judge Geiger in Milwaukee.
At that time, however, the unforeseen
was not anticipated and it is thought
that in view of the conditions as they
are now said to be affecting the bust
ness of the United States that there
will be no opposition to the granting
of the petition.
That the delay in the sale of the
road will be felt all along the line is
generally conceded, The time when
the reorganization committee would
take hold of the system and give to it
the attention which it is declared to
be needing at the present time has
been looked forward to for some time
and it had been thought that the great
er part of the delay here had been
overcome.
AS planned by the reorganization
committee the road would be complete
ly overhauled and new running SEIZED
l1e put into effect which would make
it possible for the cars of the company
to be run directly to Chicago over the
tracks of the Chicago elevated lines.
This is declared to have been one of
the biggest changes planned and it
was looked upon as being one of the
best for the road. However, this can
not be done until after the sale Of the
road has been consumated.
If it is true as stated that the war
has been the cause for the asking of a
delay in the sale of the road it will
mean that the first effects Of the war
troubles has been felt in this city.
1t is not known just how long time
will be granted the master in chancery
but it is thought that it will be several
months if not longer. Then after the
date is set it will be necessary to post
a notice sixty days before the date so
that all may have an opportunity to
act in the sale. 1t was thought at first
that the sale of the Illinois portion Of
the system would be held in Waukegan
but in view of the recent order of the
court it is thought that it will be held
in Chicago while the Wisconsin part
will ha disnosed of in Milwaukee,

How to Make Our Tuberc-
ul0sis Sanit0ria More
Efficient in Their Work

Methods by which tuberculosis sanato-
ria may be made more efficient through
the employment of their graduates" are
discussed In series of papers issued to-
day by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis in
its oMcial organ, The Journal of the Out
door Life.
The papers by DR.. Charles F. Boldunn
of the New York City health department.
DIR. Sidney F. Geldstein of the Free Syn.
agogus, New York, and Dr. David r. Ly-
man of the Gaylord Farm sanatorium OF
Wallingferd. CT. show that many tuber-
eulosis tanatoria waste their efforts be-
cause they do not care for their pa
tients properly after discharge. DR.. Cold
stein found that i'm one sanaterium in
New York 80 per cent, of the work done
was literally wasted. DIR. Bolduan's and
DIR. Lyman's results showed some waste.
but not nearly so large a percentage
The reason for these relapses Is found
both in the unsanitary home conditions
to which the patient returns and also
in the Industrial conditions under which
he is forced. to work.
DR.. Lyman says that the greatest pres
emit need in sanatorium treatment Is
early diagnosis. and that such early
cases cases can usually return with
safety and success to their former oecu-
pations after discharge from the sanato-
rum. Fer certain groups of city pa
tents DIR. Bolduan and DIR. Goldstein
favor working places where they can
work at their trades under medical SUI
peryision and sanitary conditions
Experiments of this character are now
being considered in several cities. In
Philadelphia the Henry Phipps Institute
has opened small shop for some of its
tuberculosis patients. In New York tho
joint tuberculosis committee will soon
establish an open air clothing factory.
and similar experiment is also project
ed by the joint board of sanitary con-
troll of the cloak and suit industry. The
Delaware tuberculosis Sanatorium Is
considering a hosiery mill for it's pa
tients, At Otisville, n. Y. in connection
with New York Citys tuberculosis San
atorium an Industrial colony is also be-
ing considered. A successful experiment
in pottery making has been carried on
for two years at the Arequipa Sanat0-
rum in California.
