GET TEACHERS PEDIGREEs.

Every one of the one hundred and
tWenty-seven teachers in the schools of
kenosha have supplied the state board
of public affairs card which contains
the story of the life of the teacher in
question. This applies not only to her
or his educational qualifications but al
SO to the experience as teacher. The
information has been sought by the
state board with view of investiea-
ting the value of the normal schools to
the state and it is expected that with
IN the next year a statement will be
issued by the board showing Just what
value there is to the normal school
training. The report is certain to have
large bearing on future appropriations
for normal schools by the legislature.
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superintendent
OF the Kenosha schools is in hearty
sympathy with the movement and she
has given her personal attention to
seeing that reports have been made by
teachers employed in the Kenosha
schools.

CUPID DOWN AND OUT.
Report March Shows That Couples Have
Quit Being Married.

Just how completely cupid has been
shackled in Kenosha county by the en-
foTcement of the so-caIled eugenic laws
is shown by the report of the county
clerk of the number of licenses issued
during the first three months of the
year and the total for the first quarter
Is smaller than ever known in three
months in Kenosha. In fact, the total
number of licenses issued in the three
months of the year was just five more
than were issued in March of last
year and this was rated as the small
est month known during the year.
March of this year has broken all rec
ords for during the thirty-one days of
the month just six licenses were is
sued. This is less than twenty per
cent of the number issued in March of
last year. In the first three months
of the year but thirty-six licenses were
issued and two of these were returned
as unused. In March fifteen DAYS pass
ed without single license being is
sued In the last half of the month
four licenses were issued to Kenosha
county couples and two were issued to
couples who claimed Chicago as their
home. Ministers in Kenosha assert
that they are forgetting the wedding
service and there are half a dozen
ministers in Kenosha who have not of
ficiated at single wedding since the
first day of the new year.
One of the ministers of leading
congregation in the city said this morn
ing: 81 have not had a single wed
ding since the first day of the year,
but at that | am not objecting to the
law. People who should get married
will have no trouble getting a license
OF course there are more people mar
rying among Kenosha residents than
are shown by the license books.
don It know where they are getting
married, but it is certain that they are
not marrying here. | do not think
that the law has been tested far
enough to declare it a bad law and it
is just possible that later on the people
who want to marry and be given in
marriage will find the law more to
their liking"
Reports from other cities fail to in
dictate the marriage of any considerable
number of Kenosha people in these
cries and if Kenosha couples are 60
ing to other states to marry they seem
to be hiding their identity by giving
false residence addresses.

JOE LOOMS WINS HONOR.
Former Kenosha High School Athlete
Gets Hcrlick Trophy in Chicago.

Joe Shorty Loomis of the Chica-
go Athletic Associations champion
track team and formerly of the Keno
sha high school team, was awarded the
William Horlick, Jr., diamond medal
for the best all around performance in
the Sportsmen 5 Club carnival, which
closed Saturday night at the Coliseum
In Chicago. The decision was made
yesterday by committee of newspaper
writers. Joie Ray of the Illinois
Athletic Club was favorite with some
of the reporters but the fact that Loo
mis- competed in both track and field
events while Ray Isl only a distance
man threw the decision to the former
Kenosha athlete.
Loomis won the forty-yard dash A.
A. U. night in 0:04 As. He took the
running high jump honors with leap
of six feet, four inches. Saturday night
this animated silver who stands
six feet, two inches, won the forty
yard dash, the high jump and placed
second in the low hurdles. His time
in the dash was 0:45 As; his mark in
the high jump, FIVE feet 11% inches.
The committee also selected the
events that will comprise the competi-
ton for the Horlick medal in future
meets. They will be the forty yard
dash, forty yard high hurdles, shot put,
high jump and mile run. The medal
is of solid gold with a large solitaire
set in the center. It is paid for by a
trust fund of $4,000 given to the
Sportsmen Club by William Horlick,
Jr., the Racine sportsman.
Loomis after leaving Kenosha starred
as an athlete at the University of
Wisconsin.

station on Monday morning. He had
been drMking freely in the saloons of
the village and was pretty wen under
the influence of liquor when he left
for home. Several people along the
route of the railway had noticed
Evans and had cautioned him about
keeping off sthe track. A farm hand
on the farm of Ben Bishop saw tbe
accident which resulted in che death
of Evans. He declared to the coroner
that Evans was staggering along the
track and that he seemed to pay alb
solutely no attention to the warning
signal of the approaching engine. He
seemed to be so completely under the
influence of liquor that he was deaf
to the whistle and the gong and ap-
peared to make little effort to got
out of the way of the train. The en-
gineer when he saw Evans was not
seeking to get ont of the way attempt
ed to stop the train in time to save
his life. The brakes were applied but
it was impossible to bring the train 20
stop until after the badly mangled
body of the old man had been rolled
into the ditch at the side of the
tracks.
Evans was one of those happy go
lucky fellows who made friends and
his death has caused considerable sor-
row in Somers. He came to the town
more than ten years ago and he had
managed to keep the story of his life
pretty well under cover He had the
appearance of a man who had seen
better day and in some places where
he had worked it was declared last
night that he had a -wife and family
living either in Illinois or Michigan,
but no one knew just where his rela-
tives could be found. Aa
