MAY LEASE IDEAL PARK.
Kenosha Driving Club Discusses Plans
for Summer Racing on Tuesday.

The members of the Kenosha Driv-
ing Club held their first meeting of the
season on Tuesday evening and dis
cussed plans for the coming racing sea-
son. The club has been offered lease
of Ideal Park for the racing season and
it is possible that the lease will be
taken and that plans will be made for
races to be held twice monthly at the
park during the summer months. The
attendance at the meeting on Tuesday
night was not as large as had been
hoped for and for this reason final ac-

program for the season was laid over
until the next meeting of the club

STATE INSPECTOR A SPEAKER
Leaders in Industrial Life of the City
Assure Their Cooperation With the
State in All the Movements For Safe
ty and Efficiency in Plants.

Systematic work for the prevention
of accidents in the big industrial plants
Of Kenosha is beginning to show results
and reports made at the monthly round
table from all the factories of the city
on Tuesday evening showed that the
movement was beginning to bear fruit
along the lines of making work in fac
tories safer and making men employed
in the factories more efficient.
The session of the round table was
held at the Elks Club and there were
many speakers. 1t was in the nature
Of an experience meeting Of men who
had studied out safety first measures
on the floors of the plants. Among
the speakers were E. R. Fairfield Of the
American Brass Company; ]. w. De-
Cou Of the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company,
and A. R. Davies Of the Simmons Man
ufacting Company. Mr.. Fairfield made
strong plea for education of factory
men from the man in the head office to
the men employed at day labor in the
yards. Mr.. DeCou urged more atten-
tion to details. He declared that a
majority of the accidents were due to
overtime work and the employment of
"green' hands. He declared that Ke-
nosha manufacturers would welcome
/ any suggestion that could be made by
the state of Wisconsin for the safe
guarding of the lives of employees.
Mr.. DeCou said that this round table
had already become the ground floor
for the exchange of ideas which were
practical aids in every day work. Mr..
Davies discussed at length incidents
which had been brought to his atten-
ton at the Simmons plant.
There were reports from members of
the safety committee, including George
S. Marble, II. II. Maddox, Henry
Eichelman, E. McDermott, G.. F. Boy
Ian, F. N. Palmer, A. Mexican, J. Par
tell, L. G. Scott, t. White, U. G.. Lewis,
Harold Wells and H. Hammelea. Each
of these men gave talk, showing the
practical work that is being done in
the various plants to bring them up to
the one hundred per cent mark IN the
safety-frst movement.
There was very interesting general
discussion of ideas brought out in the
various addresses after which Factory
Inspector d. D. Evans of Racine, gave
talk on elevator accidents. He de-
clared that nearly all elevator accidents
could be prevented by regular inspec-
tions and by having the machinery
properly cleaned.
Mr.. Evans stated that arrangements
If industrial plants must not continue
In use machinery which had been de-
clared defective by the state officials.
FL. J. Schmitt of Chicago, supervisor
and inspector for the Hartford Acct
dent and Indemnity Co., also spoke
He declared that ninety-fve per cent
of the physical accidents in manufact-
uring plans were properly classed as
unnecessary accidents. He insisted
that men employed in factories should
be educated to safety, taught to feel it
and put it in practice at all times.
The next session of the round table
will be held on the first Tuesday in
September.

PUTS NEW RULES INTO EFFECT.
Sherff Stahl Limits Visitors and Also
the Use of Tobacco by Prisoners.

ShCAh kJUctAil @1Aul1to " 1SlGUIS d1u ALSO
the Use of Tobacco by Prisoners.
A new set Of rules for the handling
of the county jail went into effect this
morning at the order of Sheriff Stahl
and in the future visitors will be per-
mitted to see prisoners only between
the hours Of two and four o'clock in
the afternoon. For years the men in
charge of the jail have been bothered
by men and women coming to the place
at all hours of the day and night but
this is all past and visitors must come
at the regular hours or they will not
be permitted to see the prisoners. Nor
is this all. The sheriff has placed the
ban on cigarettes and in the future
prisoners in the cell rooms will not be
allowed to use the "paper pills. CT
garette smoking in the jail has become
a nuisance and the prisoners must take
to the pipe or quit the tobacco habit
while they remain guests at the county
bastile. Any effort to get cigarettes
by stealth will result in the prisoner
being denied all tobacco during his So
journ in the jail. 1t is not the idea Of
the sheriff to make Jail life any too
attractive. Sunday visits to prisoners
will be cut off entirely.

FIND BODIES OF ANIMALS
Animals Drowned in O'Plane River
Drift into Illinois.


Drift into Illinois
Bodies Of dead animals, for the most
part horses, are being washed onto the
lowlands in this county near Wads-
worth by the swift current Of the
O'Plane river which is declared to be
higher this year than ever before.
The waters of the O 'Plane have been
rising steadily for the past several
days, and on Sunday reached the high
est mark yet registered by the farmers
in that vicinity who have been watch
ing its actions with some apprehension,
for fear that the waters would inundate
their farms.
Much Damage Done.
1t is declared that much damage has
been done by the rising river. For the
most part this has been reported from
Wisconsin, near the North Lake County
line. However, some of the farm lands
have been inundated in Lake County
and several hundreds of dollars have
been lost by the farmers in and near
Wadsworth.
SO far as could be learned today
there is no information to be had re-
garding the owners of the cattle, but
it is thought some farmer along the
river in Kenosha county lost the horses.
One animal had part Of harness on
when found, and apparently had been
hitched to some conveyance when car
ried away by the waters. Waukegan

A NEW RESPONSIBILITY.

A peculiar case has arisen in the
New York courts where the owner OF
a building, which was injured by fire,
was sued by the fire department for
the cost of extinguishing the fire. 1t
seems that the board OF fire protection
had ordered the owner of the building
to install automatic sprinklers. The
owner refused to do so, hence the fire,
hence the suit. 1t was the first case
of the sort ever in the courts where
the owner Of a building was made re-
sponsible for the fire. The decision OF
the court was against the owner and
he was ordered to pay the fire depart
ment 81 500, the estimated cost of ex-
tinguishing the fire. In this case there
was the violation of specific order,
and it was because of that that judg.
ment was given against the owner.
But the principle would have uni
versal application, says Ohio State
Journal. Wherever there is a law en-
joining care upon the owner of the
property, and that care is not given,
the cost of putting out a fire, if there
is one, rests upon him. The principle
involved in this decision demands the
consideration of public authority.

While it is well known that some of
the German states are of Lilliputian
size, few persons are aware that it is
quite possible to visit seven of them,
including two kingdoms, two duchies
and three pricipalities, in an easy walk
of four and half hours. A good walk
er, starting from Steinback, in Ba-
varia, will arrive in half an hour at
Lichtentanne, which is situated in
-Meiningen. Thence the road pro-
ceeds in one and half hours to
Rauschengesees (Reuss, elder branch),
after which in a few minutes Gleima,
in Schwarzburg-R udolstadt, is reached.
Half an hours walk brings the pedes-
TRAN to Altengesees (Reuss, younger
branch). An hour farther on lies

The educational campaign against
waste through fire loss can at least
justify it's continuance by figures for
the last II months, even if it can find
no encouragement for the success of
it's efforts. To the end of November.
1914 shows losses by fire exceeding
those for the same period of 1913 by
nearly 100000. The aggregate loss
in November amounted to $21,372,750.
The total loss for the year will amount
to about quarter of billion. This
represents a terrible destruction of
property for times of peace. Most of
it is due to carelessness, and no small
proportion to arson. We put our faith
in fire departments and insurance, in
stead of exercising the common-sense
precaution that would obviate the
need for calling in help from either.
The work of education must go on,
says Chicago Evening Post. More
than fireproof buildings we need a
foolproof public.

land Plain Dealer. BY the new process
radium can be extracted and placed on
the market at $4,000 a gram. Such
is the encouraging statement of Joseph

consider $4,000 a rather exorbitant

planned that the present market quo

will be seen that the reduction is re-
