1t is being remarked in many places
this spring, chat largely increased
number of women are driving automo-
biles. In many cases one sees the
woman of the house operating the ma
chine, while the man is the passenger.
Cautious persons have sometimes said
that women could not be relied on to
keep their heads in sudden emergen-
cies. Yet the quick intuition that
women are additionally supposed to
possess should be valuable gift in a
mix up. The woman driver is a
natural outgrowth of an athletic age.
The girl who plays lawn tennis and
golf, and who bowls or swims, is not
going to remain content with jouncing
up and down in the back seat of an
automobile. She may not know as
much about tools as did her mother,
who was more apt to have operated at
least a sewing machine and could per-
form handy jobs of repairs about the
house. But for that matter the aver
age man is helpless on any job of tin
kering. According to tradition women
are supposed to be more polite than
men. IF they live up to their reputa-
ton, they will be popular on the road,
where courtesy is far from being
universal.

AS a general rule it is poor business
to throw out bids on city Improvement
work and advertise for bids a second
time, but the city is a gamer to the
extent of about three thousand dollars
by taking this course in letting the
contract for the extension of the trunk
sewer and the building of the auxili-
airy sewers to connect with the extern
sion in the territory recently annexed
to the city. 1t is admitted that the
specifications on any public contracts
and the terms on which the bids are
received should be so plainly stated
that there is no possibility of any mix
up on the first bids, but if they are
not, the only way is to take a fresh
start and advertise again. At that the
low bidders under the first advertise
ments are almost sure to feel that they
have been unfairly treated and aban-
don any attempts to secure further
contracts in this city. And anything
that cuts down the number of bidders
and decreases competition is bound
to be a bad thing for the city in
the long run.

packing and sorting of their fruit.
They hired professional sorter and
before the season was over they were
all getting fifty cents barrel more
for their apples. Similarly each of
the other committees held one thing in
view, and got at least one notable thing
done during the year. Many larger
cities could well copy the determine
ton and concentration of this little
country town. The trouble with board
of trade and town promotion work, is
that what is everybody's business is
nobody Is business. There is a unani-
nous and settled determination Ito
let George do it, Towns that are
built up and go ahead do not grow in
that way. IF twenty men could be Sc
cured, IN any town who would agree
to give two hours a week to serve on
the various committees needed for
town promotion work, very surprising
results could usually be secured. Two
hours week is not much time for
anyone, but a great deal of public
work could be done by twenty men in
that time. Any town can grow, in
population and in public advantages, if
it is willing to pay the price. The
price is not large compared with the
results. All that is needed is that the
citizens have the vision to see how
large those results might be.

NO PREFERRED CLAIMS.
Judge Belden Holds That All Creditors
of Racine Bank Must Share Alike.

All the so-called preference claims -
against the Commercial and Savings
Bank of Racine, have been disallowed
by Judge E. B. Belden. The claimants
are given the same status as other gen
eral creditors and will be paid pro rata
in the same manner as are ali the
depositors.
The claims / question were made
prior to the payment of the first divi-
dend to depositors. They set up, in
substance, that tie bank was insolvent
at the time it closed and that the Of
fcers committed what amounted to a
fraud in the acceptance of deposits, or
the acceptance of money fer drafts
which were not honored by outside
banks because of the failure of the
bank to have money on deposit there.
The court ruled:
First: No competent evidence was
introduced in any of the eases to
prove that the bank was insolvent at
the time it closed.
Second: No evidence was intro
duced to show that the officers of the
bank were aware the bank was in
solvent, if it was.
Third: La most of the cases the
identity of the precise moneys paid
the bank was not established so that
it could be separated from the other
assets of the bank, as the law requires.
The suits were brought to estab-
lish prior claim on the assets and
obtain immediate repayment in full
regardless of the other creditors of the
bank.

In one good sized city there was a
lot of dissatisfaction with what the
board Of trade had been able to ac-
complish. Members and citizens were
asked to bring in suggestions of what
ought to be done. A big meeting was
held, and about forty different sugges-
tions, most of them good, were made.
Attention was SO scattered about on
different ideas that nothing was ac-
eomplished in any one of the lines
mentioned. In another place, country
town, a business men s association was
formed and it appointed six small sized
committees. Each committee was ask
ed to take up for one year only one
thing, but to make every possible eff
fort to put through that one thing.
It was an apple raising region, and the
agricultural committee voted to con-
centrate their attention on better

LIMITS FLASH LIGHT PICTURES.
President Of School Board Acts Prompt
~ Following Fire at Germania Hall.

Following the flash light blaze at
Germania hall on Monday evening Pres
ident William J. Threinen of the Board
of Education this morning sent out a
formal order to all principals of the
schools in the city prohibiting the TAX
ing of flash lights pictures in any school
of the city unless safety devices are
used. 1T is possible to safeguard the
taking of flash light pictures said the
President of the Board of Education
'fand we will not permit any pictures
to be made in the schools in the future
without the use of flash light bags. ,
I believe that with the use of these
bags there is no danger to the chill
dren."
The flash light pictures have been
featured in the schools during the past
few years and no serious objections to
them have been made by any of the
paernts Of the children. The members
of the board will make an effort to see
that the lives of the children are safe
guarded in the future.

DOLL PARADE FOR THE GIRLS
Boys of Kenosha Will Fly Kites for
Prizes-Big Industries Of the City
Will Show Growth of the City With
Varied Floats.

One of the biggest features of the
Kenosha Home Coming is going to
be the great Home Coming parade.
Members of the committee in charge
of the parade met on Monday evening
and plans are now ching completed for
the big pageant. 1t is planed to make
it the most notable thing of the kind
ever held in Kenosha. Prizes aggre-
eating more than five hundred dollars
will be offered. The parade is to be
called an automobile parade and an eff
fort will be made to have every auto
mobile owned in Kenosha in the long
line. As a stimulus to people to dec
crate their automobiles prizes of $3.50
will be offered for the best decorated
automobiles in the parade. Already
plans are being made by some Of the
automobile owners to capture the first
prize in this event. It is expected
that there will be at least hundred
decorated automobiles competing for
the big prize money. The prizes will
be divided so as to make even the last
prize offered for the parade worth
contesting for.
Then there is to be an industrial
parade and already half of the manu-
features of the city have declared their
willingness to go into it. This feature
of the parade is to be opened to both
manufacturers and merchants. Years
ago when Kenosha was still in its
swaddling clothes the manufacturing
interests of the city were featured and
people who left Kenosha in the late
eighties and the early nineties saw
only the dawn of the great industrial
city. Since that time the manufacture
ers of the city have grown rapidly.
Kenosha has become the home of some
of the largest manufacturing plants of
their kind in the world. In order to
stimulate the appearance of the manu-
facturers and merchants in the parade
the committee has decided to offer
prizes totaling $4,000 for this divi-
sion Of the parade. An effort will be
made to have the parade show every
one of the varied interests of the
manufacturing men and merchants Of
the city and it is expected that more
than hundred motor and horse drawn
floats will be arranged for this event
There is going to be a real feature
for the children. This is to be a doll
parade. In many pageants this parade
has been featured and it is certain
