STATES TO AID IN GREAT WORK
State Of Kentucky Takes Contract Of
Leveling Hills and Boy Scouts Will

The Wisconsin end of-the proposed
improved Sheridan road from Chicago
to Milwaukee, which will run through
Racine and Kenosha counties, may be-

ask to be admitted to the Dixie asso-
citation, which has control of the stu
pendous project to have one long, con-
tinuous stretch of road from Florida
through eight states to Chicago. This
will mean that an automobile can start
from Miami, Fla, and run over roads
of concrete, asphalt or brick, through

STATE FIRE REPORT ISSUED
Fire Marshal Host Makes Many Sug-
gestions for Bettering Conditions In
Cities and Shows Causes of Majority
of Fire Losses.

The annual report of Glenn P. Host,
state fire marshal, has been received in
Kenosha and while Kenosha is not
given any extended mention in the
report it is being read with interest by
insurance men, Kenosha had an UNI
usually large fire loss in 1914 on &C
count Of the burning of the Petit
Malt House which carried with it a
loss of close to $165,000. Outside Of
this loss the fire loss of the city was
decidedly small, but with this heavy
loss KeRosha is ranked sixth In the
state in amounts of fire losses. Racine
is shown to have had fire loss of but
$4,000 during the year.
According to the report of Mr.. Host
of the 1928 fires reported, the largest
number, 662, were In Milwaukee
county, involving property values at
1866, 220, with $6,0S3,390 insurance
and causing loss or damage amount

Industrial Commission to
Take New Plan to Find
Men for New Positions.
TO SUPER|HTEAO APPRENTICES

What is said to be an entirely new
department. in civil service methods
will be tried out soon by the Wisconsin
Industrial Commission and the Wiscon-
sin Civil Service Commission in an at
tempt to locate the two men best fitted
to take charge of important duties Of
the industrial commission. The 1915
legislature passed law requiring the
industrial commission to devise and
administer new plan Of apprentice
ship supervision. The legislature in
enacting the law, was backed by sub
stantial manufacturing interests of
Milwaukee, and by the Wisconsin
Federation of Labor. The act is de-
signed to remedy the conditions under
which Thousands of small boys are en-
ployed in blind-alley jobs in factories
Of the state. The advocates of the
apprentice idea maintain that the time
has come when boys must be trained
for future foremen, superintendent
and highly skilled hands.
The industrial commission, therefore,
is looking for the right man to take
the job of supervisor and inspector of
apprentices. He will get fifteen humid
red dollars as beginning salary. The
civil service commission, in announc-
ing the examination of candidates, says
that candidates will not be required to
meet and answer questions in writing.
The candidates will merely fill out APP
plication blanks and then, in their own
homes and at their leisure, will write a
thesis discussing workable plan for
putting the new apprentice law into
operation. The candidates of course,
will have access to any information
they are able to obtain. It is simply
required that they get their thesis to
Madison before September 10th. The
writer's of the best thesis will receive
oral examinations and then will be
rated. The industrial commission must
appoint one of the three highest on the
list of eligibles.
Another non-assembled examina-
tion will be held for the position of
building inspector under the industrial
commission. Candidates for this posi-
ton also will be required to write on
certain subjects to be announced bv
the civil service commission. Both
examinations will be open to men any
where in Wisconsin. Nearly fifty per
sons have already asked the civil
service commission for information re-
garding appointments.

School authorities all over the
country are now making up their final
lists of teachers for fall term. With
all the educational scouts roaming
around and picking up the more gifted
women for service in large cities and
wealthy towns, it is worrisome job.
School superintendent, anticipating
searchlight criticism, canvass their
many applicants with anxious care, and
find the majority unsatisfactory.
There are plenty who have had fair
education, but few who have the mag
netic gift of inspiration and easy
discipline. Highly educated girls take
poorly paid positions for year or
two, but quickly yield to the seduc-
tions of towns offering larger salaries
They do not always profit much, either
in money or in satisfaction Of living.
There is a queer and snobbish preiu-
dice against the teacher in many cir
cles. Theoretically, being intellectual
leader of the young and substitute for
parental care, she occupies a place
second to none. But actually she is a
waif on the shores of society when she
gets to large city She is held up to a
high standard Of neatness and dress.
She is much more likely to be con
demned by visiting parents on ac-
count of a lack of style than for poor
educational methods. Teaching forces
change rapidly nowadays. The teach
er who was content to remain year af-
ter year in one town, impressing her
personality on successive classes, is a
rare person now. The old idea of
teacher was thin faced and angular
woman, with soulful air but indif-
ferent to dress, is out of date. IT is
trim, bright faced lot Of people now.
They seem to have learned that
clothes make the woman and ar
ray themselves for their ordeal before
the school authorities with a simple
attractiveness that represents some
marvel of strategy on low salary.

The only thing that the people of the
county viii object to in the restrictions
thrown around the issue of hunting
licenses by the new law which goes into
effect this fall is that they do not 60
far enough The people of the county
contended for law which would limit
hunting licenses to full citizens but the
Legislature refused to go that far and
limited the issue of licenses only to the
extent that the applicant is required to
have first papers. This is step in the
right direction and possibly after an
other murder, the legislature may see
the wisdom of still further safeguard
ing the people of the county. The new
law, however, puts weapon in the
hands of the farm owners which will en-
able them to protect themselves to a
considerable extent in that it imposes
q heavy penalty for hunters tresspassing
on posted land. 1t is expected that the
farmers will avail themselves of this
provision of the law to reform condi-
Jlons that nave become well nigh intol-
cradle. They can organize for mutual
protection and by posting all of their
lands prevent this annual invasion of
their farms, the slaughter of their live
stock and the jeopardy Of their own
lives. In this connection it is sug-
gested that the sheriff Is officers be sum
moned Immediately there is any invas-
Ino of posted land and that the owners
refrain from warning tresspassers. 1t
has been shown that the possession of a
hunting license gives the average for
eigner an exaggerated idea of his rights
and that they are willing and ready to
use the weapons which the license gives
them the right to carry in resenting any
Interference with their movements We
DO not want any more killings in this
county.

Boy Scouts Plant Trees

Every tree planted is named after a
company of the boy scouts which plant
ed the tree to perpetuate its memory.
On the land abutting the highway all
sorts of fruit trees will be planted, the
fruit to be at the disposal of the tour
lists travelling over the road. The Geor-
gia aad Florida declarations of women s
clubs have taken this work in hand,
and it is proposed to have the long
stretch of road leading through these
states covered with large elms and
other species of trees to protect the
tourists from the rays of the sun.
The governors of several states have
been asked to permit the use of convict
labor in constructing parts Of the road.
Business men and merchants along
the route in Indiana laid aside their
regular work for several days and han
died spades and shovels in an effort to
help the work along, while hundreds Of
farmers sent their hired men with teams
to assist in the road construction.
Duluth, Mimi, is anxious to connect
up with the highway with road lead
ing into Chicago, and steps have been
taken to perfect an organization.
According to w. E. Hamilton, secre-
tary for the Wisconsin end Of the Sher-
idan road improvement association, who
was in Chicago lately, there is a boom
on to complete the ninety miles or more
leading from Chicago through Kenosha
and Racine counties into Milwaukee,
and work will begin within short
time.

Uuder the law all peddlers look alike
to the state treasury agent. He has no
option in the matter of collecting the
license money. If they are peddlers
they must pay. 1t is safe bet that
some of the men who have sharply crit
icised Mr.. Karnes for his devotion to
his official duty in other positions are
going to applaud him for the thorough
manner in which he is certain to carry
out the duties of treasury agent. Not
that it makes any difference to Karnes
whether they like it or not.

While they realize that the trimming
must be done and the walks cleared, the
people who appreciate what the trees
mean to Kenosha are hopeful that it
can be done without permanent injury
to the trees. This work has been ne
elected too long in many cases SO that
large limbs will have to be taken off of
some of the most valuable trees.

Kentucky Levels Hills

The mountain counties Of Kentucky
through which the highway will run
have begun to level off the high spots
to make Che road as even as possible.
Many miles Of the road have already
been completed in the southern states
Many counties have also begun to i'm
prove the roads leading to the famous
stretch, so that trade and business may
be diverted to the towns not on the
map so far as the highway is concerned.
The Dixie highway is the main topic
discussed in the various states, and pol
itics and the European war have been
sidetracked for the time being.
Everywhere is enthusiasm. Club
women, school children and Boy scouts
have entered into the spirit Of the plan,
and weeds are being cut down, rubbish
removed, and trees planted along the
roadway.
