County's Low Death Rate to
Great Use of That Cheese.

Monroe.-Limburger spells longevi-
ty. This is proven by the quarterly
report of the Wisconsin state board
of health which has just been issued
for the three months of July, August
and September, and which shows
Green county to have the lowest death
rate in the state according to popula-
ton
According to the report there were
thirty-seyen deaths in the county dur
ing the three months, or one and four
fifths per 1000 population.
The healthfulness of Green county

the political campaign waged by women

ORDINANCE PASSED MONDAY
NIGHT BY CITY Government

1t was 11.30 O'Clock Monday night
when Mayor viles announced that the
rev traffic regulation ordinance was
nnally passed. The passage of the or
olnance followed hours of study on
the part Of the committee and the city
government, the elimination of which
was witnessed at the meeting last
night when section by section the or.
oinance was revised and approved.
several sections were added to thu
original draft Of the ordinance. One
new section provides that no vehicle

charging passengers, without first
coming to a full stop. Other sections
provide that street cars shall not dis
charge freight on Water street after
Dec. Is and that street cars shall not
stop within IS feet of a street corner
Or Water street.
The section relating to the dimming

that it now provides that all rutomo-
biles equipped with dimming devices
shall employ them upon meeting other
vehicles or upon passing through

nance designed to relieve the conges-
ton of traffic were so changed as TO
relate to Water and Cony streets only.
When II Takes Effect
The final section OF the ordinance
provides that il shall take effect upon
approval by justice of the supreme
court
At the first reading of the ordinance
IN joint session a number of citi-
zens were present but aside from an
adjustment of various misunderstand-
irgs there was very little done at the
hearing. Later the Board of Aldermen
reviewed the ordinance painstakingiy
and Mayor Tiles insisted that the
members of the city government re-
main in order that the ordinance
might have passage. 1t was a good
natured session but a long one and
the last word was not written until
after 11.36 O'Clock.

or VARSITY ELEVEN IS OUT OF
COLLEGE ATHLETICS ON ELIGIBILITY

1--WE, the undersigned members OF
the Yale University baseball team of
1915, during the past summer played
with the Quogue Field Club nine, the
club furnishing board and room to
the players. From the time we dis
covered the provision in the Yale rules
that no man who had received board
for playing summer baseball shall
represent Yale on its team, each OF us
paid in full for board and lodging,
substantially furnished him by the
club. In view, however, of the fact
that we did, although unintentionally
and ill-advisedly, violate the rule, we
hereby withdraw from competition in
intercollegiate athletics"
The letter was signed in full by the
five players.
Prof Corwin's statement adds:
Tt is perhaps superfluous for the
officers of the Yale Athletic Associa-
ton to comment on the foregoing let
ter. 1t seems but fair, however. to the
players signing it for the association
to express publicly it's regret that be-
cause of the carelessness of its off1-
GERS and committees, these men have
inadvertently violated the rule men
toned. The officers of the association
rely upon the continued interest and
cooperation Of these players in every
way and especially in making certain
that none Of their successors are
through ignorance ever placed in such
difficult position"
