WONDERS OF COAL TAR.

In THE American Magazine" Albert
". Atwood says:
Although modern high explosives re-
quire vast quantities OF nitric acid, sui
phuric acid and alcohol. the basic in
gredient of most is a derivative of coal
tar, which in turn is a by-product of
coke burning Here is the industry,
with all its branches and rsmihcations,
which perhaps more than any other in
this country has been expanded By the
war. In coal tar we have the impris-
oned sunshine Of millions of years, and
when that prehistoric brilliance is re-
leased by one set or stage of processes
we have modern dyestufs. Still other
processes and we have naphthalene,
camphor balls and many modern
drugs, such as aspirin; while the pho
tographic. photographic and many
other industries depend more or less
completely upon 1t. Finally benzol,
which is the first stage in the process
and from which all these other prod
ucts come, is the most Immediately
available substitute for gasolene."

ARE PEOPLE DISEASE PROOF
Aged Ancestry Means High Resistance,
Bell Saws.

In "The American Magazine Is q
remarkably interesting interview with
DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, the famous
scientist. DR.. Bell, who is investigat-
ing the causes Of old age. claims that
time and natural selection tend to
make certain people disease proof.
81 see from our studies a thing valu-
able TO our community" he says at is
beyond question that, all other things
being equal. the finest insurance that
you are going to live long is to be de-
seconded from long-lived people. This
is obvious. Every long-liyed person has
proved, by living a long time, that he
or she is more or less disease re-
sistant. Those people who are not at
all disease resistant are killed off in
great numbers, either in childhood or
in early maturity.
consequently. Il seems TO me that,
as we go on from generation to gen
GRAFTON, the disease resistant people
will predominant more and more. And
this would come about far more speed
lily if people married with some idea of
the proper selection.
There can be no doubt that people,
in the passage of many generations. by
deaths wedding out the totally nom
resistants, finally achieve a tremendous
measure of immunity from certain dis
eases. Measles is a fine instance of
this. There was a time when it was
a virulent and dangerous disease. We
now regard il as not at all serious, a
mere incident in a child's life. But,
when the Europeans first came to this
country and introduced measles TO the
Indians, the redskins died off by the
hundreds The disease found in them
fresh and totally NONRESIDENT prey.
The Indians thought they had been be-
witched"

WHITMAN SEES
NEED TO PREPARE
spirit of 81 and '9S Must
Guide Us Now" He Tells
Buffalo q. A. r.

Buffalo, May Ex-Governor Charles
S. Whitman was tho speaker at me-
mortal services held by Grand Army
posts Of Buffalo to-day. In speaking
for preparedness in military sense.
he said that it Is as unthinkable that
the United States would ever take up
arms out of other than the purest and
most exalted motives as it is that the
United States should ever put love OF
peace above honor and duty.
at is the spirit Of '6l and OF 'ss
which must guide us now he said. ut
is to these standards that we must go
in this day when new and vital de-
cisions are thrust upon us.
Every right thinking man loves and
desires peace. Only armed invasion,
unbearable aggression or utter and ca
lamitous defiance Of the laws Of hu-
mainly that a democracy must protect
can justify a departure from a fixed
and traditional policy that puts peace
above everything save honor.
ut is time for high thinking and
clear thinking. The office-holder or the
office-seeker, the group or the individ-
ual that dares to inject the question
Of personal advantage into the ire
mendous considerations of the day is
guilty, in spirit at least, OF the foul
est treason"
Referring to criticisms which he said
had been aimed against him for sign
ing the Welsh-Slater bills. Governor
Whitman said:
ITO cry that these laws will make
for war is absurd. II is also a pre-
paredness for peace as we'll as pre-
paredness for war. To train our chill
dren physically and morally, TO teach
the Importance Of clean living and
clean thinking this Is bound to
make better citizens"

The police rookies-345 Of them

Captain Elijah r. Martindale. jr.. OF

By improvement Captain Martindale

that it might include an improvement
in waist line measurement. Compared
with the regulars who moved about the

Everybody seemed pleased with the

Marjorie Eager for Young

Plan She Started.

Have you done your share? is Mar
Jorie's question to thousands Of loyal
boys and girls this week By sending
in her dime toward building a battle
ship for Uncle Sam and working for the
cause. Marjorie has helped raise nearly
1923, 900 from more than 100000 people
scattered from New York to California.
Probably no other girl who cele-
brates her fourteenth birthday this
week or this year has done so much
for her country. But every one can do
something toward building the Amer
lea. Why don't you get up birthday
party for yourself if it comes this week
or for Marjorie? Then when yours
comes you can have another.

LIVES WITH STEEL IN HEART.

A Canadian soldier in a hospital near
Bromley, Kent, has a thin metal splin-
ter from an explosive bullet lodged in
his heart. It's presence was disclosed
by X-rays, and, for the time being, no
operation is contemplated. Whether
the metal splinter works in or out
means the difference between life and
death for the patient.
The patient, who gets about as freely
as any convalescent, feels the splinter
much in the same way that nail in a
boot irritates the foot, says "The Lon
don Times" He cannot sleep on his
left side, and finds that practically sit
ting up in bed all night is the easiest
way Of getting rest.

tion at Madison on Wednesday. Mr..

LANE ON HEALTH BOARD.
Mayor Pfennig Names DR.. H. Fl. Lane
to Take Place Made Vacant by
His Resignation.

Mayor Charles II. Pfennig has
named DR.. I'll. H. Lane as q member of
the board of health. DIR. Lane is named
to take the place which has been held
by the mayor and before the nomination
of the new commissioner was sent to the
council on Monday evening Mayor Pfen-
mig formally presented his resignation
holding that the fact that he was serv-
ing as mayor made it impossible for
him to remain member of the board of
health. The nomination of DIR. Lane is
in keeping with the suggestion recently
made by the Kenosha County Dental
Society. The society sent eommunica-
ton to the mayor urging that the or
ganization have representative on the
board of health DIR. Lane has been
prominent in the practice of his pro-
fession in Kenosha for more than fiji
movements for the advancement of the
teen years and he has been active in
city. It is certain that his appointment
to the health board will give universal
satisfaction. DR.. Lane will sit with
the board at the May session at which
time it is expected a new health officer
will be elected.

BURGLARS VISIT SALEM.
(From Fridays Daily

The village of Salem had the biggest
excitement in months this morning when
it was found that during the night bold
bad burglars had invaded the village
and had touched" up two of the lead
ing emporiums. One Of them was She
saloon of Charles Deppe. The report
from Salem was that the burglars got
away with $3.50 in cash from the saloon
but the sheriff's deputy reports that
the total value Of the booty was 7ess
than five dollars and that it consisted
of two bottles of whiskey and guam
tity of sailed peanuts.
There was no sign of the burglars
having broken into the building and out
at Salem it is thought possible that the
saloon man failed to lock his door
when he closed up. The men had evil
IDENTIFY spent some time in the saloon
and had found the best that the place
afforded
The other burglary was at the Button
shoe store. Here the burglars secured
cash to the amount Of $15 or 500 by
forcing open the cash register. At this
place entrance appeared to have been
made by tn use of q skeleton key. The
front door had been opened but when
the proprietor Went to the store this
morning just after seven o'clock he
found everything locked up tight. Once
IN the store the broken remnants of
the cash register gave abundant proof
of the visit of the burglars.
Sheriff Stahl did not receive any re-
port of the raid which had been made
on the Salem stores until nearly noon
today. Then he sent Deputy Charles
Williams to make an investigation. It
is thought that the burglaries were the
work of tramps who have been seen
hanging about Salem during the past
few days. The camp was empty this
morning and the people of Salem be-
ieve that this is pretty good evidence
that they made the raid and left. People
who live in the neighborhood of the
Button store declare that they heard a
dog bark just after three o'clock this
morning and it is supposed that this
was the hour that the raid on the places
was made.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-05-18

introduced by his attorneys to show
his side of the case. The evidence of
the state strongly indicated that
Mccarthy was either under the in
fiuence of liquor at the time of the
accident or that he was such a nervous
man that it was almost criminal for
him to act as the pilot of an automo-
bile. Only small number of the wit
nesses to the accident were called by
the state to testify. Not one of these
witnesses was willing to declare that
Mccarthy was under the influence of
liquor, but all of them insisted that he
appeared to be "jolly" before the
accident and exceedingly nervous"
after the fatality.
Importance was attached to the evil
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. William Stretch
and Mrs. johnson, three witnesses,
who had not been mentioned in con-
nection with the case before the pre-
limiary hearing. Mr.. and Mrs. Stretch
and Mrs. Johnson had been passengers
in the Mccarthy automobile only a
short time before Knudsen was struck
They had been walking along the road
near the Cooper farm when Mccarthy
came along. He invited them to ride
to town in the automobile The three
witnesses all testified that he was very
polite about the matter They had
ridden in the back seat Of the car for
nearly a mile. They asserted that
Mccarthy was zig tagging sthe car
from one side of the road to the other
and that on account of his seeming
lack Of control they decided to get
out. Mccarthy made no objection to
their leaving the automobile and was
rather elusive in his thanks to them
for riding with him.
Otto Shott, one of the eye witnesses
of the accident, told the story of the
killing of Knudsen and declared that
Mccarthy was driving at an excessive
speed. Assistant District Attorney
Arthur Albrecht was an important wit
ness for the state. He rode with
Mccarthy to the station after Knudsen
had been killed and he testified that
he showed great nervousness in driv-
ing the car and paid little attention to
rules Of the road. Albrecht declared
that he was of the opinion that
Mccarthy was intoxicated and that
he acted like man under the in
fluence of liquor.
Attorney R. V. Baker, who looked
