FOLLOW NEW CLEW.
Police Investigate Murder Story from
Sandova, ILL.,, in Regard to Deprimeo.

Police Investigate Murder Story from
Sandova, ILL.,, in Regard to Deprimeo.
The police are Investigating another
clew In connection with the italian
Frank Deprimeo, who was arrested on
Sunday following his murder boast.
This clew comes from Sandova, ILL.,, a
little town near Centralia. A sister of
Barney Perona, saloonkeeper who
was murdered in Sandova on the
fifteenth of last March, came to Keno
sha on Tuesday and asked the aid Of
the officials in seeking the murderer
of her brother. She seems to think it
possible that Deprimeo may know
something of the case. The italian
was questioned and he admitted that
he had at one time worked on farm
near Centralia, but he declared that he
never had heard Of Barney Perona.
1t is said that the saloon man and his
wife were walking along the road late
in the night when the husband was
shot by an italian. When the wife
returned the Italian had disappeared
and the officials have not been able to
get any trace of him. The police are
still awaiting some word from st.
Louis and for the coming of detec-
tives from Chicago who have asked
that Deprimeo be held pending their
arrival in Kenosha.

CLEAN 0UTATT!Cs AND CELLARS
City Officials Are Busy Serving the
3'Clean Up Notices and City Prom
Uses to Shine Like 'spotless Town
BY Saturday Night.

Kenosha g Annual Clean Up and the
first real clean up of the city started
this morning under the auspices of the
Kenosha Retailer s Association and it
started with the support of every de-
partment of the city government and
the start was an suspicious one. Peo-
pie in all parts of the city took up the
clean up slogan and there was mighty
raking off Of the debris of winter while
hundreds of house holders on the sug-
gestion of the committee in charge Of
the cleaning went into attics and base
ments and hauled out the accommodations
of years and piled them up in the back
yard that they might be hauled away to
the city dump. The work Of cleaning
up is going to be centralized during
the next three days and it was not on
" individual house holders who were
busy. Every committee in charge of
work for the city had special orders to
get busy. Men were started to work
in the parks cleaning them up and Civ
ing a touch of new paint to the bench
es. Street men worked their way into
forgotten alleys and cleaned away the
great piles of ashes and debris which
had collected during the year. The fly
traps began to make their appearance
over the garbage containers and the
spirit of clean up was being spread ev-
erywhere. Up at the office of the city
health departments the first of the clean
up days brought lots of work. There
were scores of formal legal notices sent
out to owners of property who had fail
ed to observe sanitary rules and these
were personally served on the owners of
the property and served with the I'M
Outstanding that if the demands in
them were not met the Health Commits
sioner would go into the courts and see
that the clean up was carried out. The
city took larger interest in the clean
up this year than ever before On the
program for the three-day clean up,
today was put down as "F'ire Proven
ton Day. but the people paid little
attention to the scheduled program and
they had men at work on the lawns as
well as in the attics and cellars. The
gospel Of a cleaner Kenosha it is de-
clared has been carried into every home
IN Kenosha and it is expected that the
PRONUNCIATION of this gospel is going to
make Kenosha the cleanest city in Wis
consin before Saturday night.
Tomorrow according to the program
will be "Front Yard Day." and the
people are supposed to clean up the
front yards, dig up the dandelions, re-
pair sidewalks and plant flowers and
bushes. Friday is Paint Up Day and
Saturday is 'EBack Yards Day." This
is the day that the tin caps and rub.
bish is all to be removed.
| The city has placed extra wagons on
the streets to aid the people in dispos.
ing of the rubbish but the people will
be supposed to pay for the removal of
rubbish wherever they are able to
make such payments.

APPLE TREES FOR ALL YARDS
1000 Young Apple Trees Turned Over
for Distribution Through the Schools
Sof the City Schools to Have "School
Tree on All Grounds,

It's apple tree planting time in Ke-
nosha and during the next few days
two thousand apple trees will be set
out in the back yards of Kenosha by
Kenosha school children, Three years
ago III. e. Barden, the well known
Wisconsin street merchant, began to
instill into the minds of the children
of Kenosha love for trees when he
gave away Co every school child in
Kenosha catalpa tree, year later
he distributed soft maple trees about
the city, last year he gave away
thousands of elm trees, and now it is
apple trees.
Great bales Of the little trees are
piled on the sidewalk in front of the
Barden store and they are being dis
tributed to the homes of the school
children through the agency of the
city schools. Care is being taken to
get one of the trees into the home Of
every child in Kenosha. The apple
trees are hardy little trees Of several
varieties and every one of them per-
feet 1t had been planned to distri-
butte the apple trees on Arbor day, but
the trees arrived early and it was
decided to have the children plant
them at once.
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superinten-
dent Of the schools, has taken personal
charge Of the work of distributing the
trees and they are being sent to homes
by the children.
The board Of park commissioners are
cooperating with the school teachers
and janitors in the planting Of the
apple trees In every school ground of
the city this afternoon an apple tree
is being planted. John Schwanke,
superintendent Of the park work, has
instructed the janitors of the schools
in the manner in which these trees
should be planted. The school apple
tree was planted in the presence of a
great company Of children at all Of
the schools and they we're told just
how the trees should be planted in the
back yards at home. The trees on the
school grounds are to be boxed by
boys in the manual training depart
ments Of the school and they are to be
carefully tended. There is keen rival
ry between the school children to show
the best possible care for these young
trees.
In the four years Mr.. Barden will
have distributed more than ten thous
and trees to the children of KcAosha
and the "Barden' trees now
familiar sights on thous of lawns
Of the city. Just how 4 of these
trees have thrived is e a to furnish
the material for an interesting tree
census which is to be taken in the
schools. Every one of the children tt
whom tree has been given is to be
asked to make a report of its growth

The Biggest Skull

IN the Army Medical Museum at Wash
ington is a gigantic skull, said to be
the largest in existence. 1t isn't real
skull however, but simply a papier-
mache representation of one, greatly eX-
aggerated for the purpose of anatomical
study, being four feet high. AS the human
skull is about one seventh the size Of the
body, man big enough to have era
mum of this size would have to be twenty
eight feet tall.
Boys who intend to become army
doctors spend a good deal of time with
this great model, learning the names of
the various bones. Using it precludes
the use of large magnifying-glas on a
real skull.

A New Way to Train Your Nerves

TLIFF-CLlMBING has become tame
\ sport for the students of the Phila-
deiphia College of Pharmacy. Sigh
ing for new method of testing the condi-
ton of the nerves, the physical instructor,
w. Ward Beam, hit upon a decided
ovelty-crossing river on a rope bridge.
The idea possessed one charm: the out
fit was cheap and easily portable, for it
consisted of two stout ropes and nothing
more One rope, according to the plan
preached to the eager students and goods
by the physical instructor, was to serve
as support for the foot, the other to
balance the one who essayed to cross II
river on this precarious foothold.
According to MIR. Beam, the object of
the rope-walking is simply to harden the
nerves of the students. We lack nerve he
says, chiefly because we never do anything
to cultivate strength in that direction.
This novel form of gymnastics is now
part of the college curriculum, and the wo-
men students are as expert at it as the men.

wheel and the foot-brake from the
other. In this way one of the paddles
can be revolved while the opposite one
remains stationary. Thus, if the port
paddle is revolved while the starboard
is held still, the bow of the house-boat
is showed around to starboard, and pice
versa.
This very modern house-boat measures
seventy-five feet over all, it has width
of seventeen feet, and it weighs thirty
six tons.
1t is really luxurious floating bunga-
low of six rooms, with all the con-
veniences of modern steam-heated apart
bathroom, laundry, sun-parlor, and roof
garden.

IF you should hitch crack automobile
to the paddle-wheels of house-boat,
would the combination be web
footed roadster or pneumatic-tired
river packet?
While opinions may differ on this ques-
ton, there is only one sentiment regard
ing the scheme by those who have seen it
tried out.
1t is great!
The idea originated year or two ago
with Chicago man who was both an
ardent automobilist and a devotee of
house-boating.
He Couldn't Ride in Both at Once,
So He Combined Them
THE trouble was that when he went
out in his car he had to leave his
house-boat behind, and when travelling
by water there was no way of taking the
automobile along. That is, he thought
there was no way until he happened
to notice, one day, that the aft deck
of the house-boat was a very spacious
one.
The result was that, the next time he
went on Il trip by water, the automobile
reposed snugly on the rear deck of the
boat.
Thereafter. at every point where the
boat was moored, the automobile was run
ashore for trip through the surrounding
country; and after his little sightseeing
trip the owner would motor back to his
comfortable boat to spend the night
How to Make an Automobile
Pay Its Way
REING something of an inventor, the
owner next conceived the idea of MAX
ing the automobile earn its passage. His
boat.
This he accomplished by fitting spurred
sprocket-wheels to the hubs of the cars
rear wheels, and keying similar but
larger ones to the paddle-wheels of the
boat, and connecting them by means of
link chain belts.
Then, when the automobile was lacked
up so that its rear wheels were clear
of the deck, and when the engine was
started, the boat moved merrily along
at rate of six miles an hour, which
is considerably faster than most house,
boats go.
