half a century.
He was a native of Germany and
was born in Genzenburg, June 10, 1912.
He came to America in 1870 and
settled in Kenosha. He had been
resident of the city ever since. His
shoe shop was one of the familiar
places on the north side of the city for
many years, but he retired thirteen
years ago. He served in the German
army in the war with France in 1866.
He had for many years been active

Teeth of Monster
Found Near KenOsha
Strange Relics of the Pleistocene Age
Recently Uncovered on Lyman
Strong Farm West of City.

Twelve massive teeth in perfect
state of preservation have been discov-
cred In a slough on the Lyman Strong
farm west Of Kenosha. Around them
was feathery deposit of yellow dust
which undoubtedly represented all that
remained of the pleistocene monster
who once used these same molars to
eat-well whatever pleistocene mon
sters ate in the good old days before
man deprived them of their food supply
and drove them from their hunt
ing grounds.
Just what species of mastodon this
fragmentary corpse once was can
hardly be determined by the little that
remains of him. f'Little?D Yes pro-
portionately so and not so elite +"
after all. The teeth uncovered last
week were some ten inches long, six
inches wide, and four inches high.
They were in excellent condition and
without filings, possibly due to the
fact that dentistry was a little under
developed i'll those days and gold was
very cheap. They fitted perfectly into
each other and indicated that their
owner might have successfully masti-
Gated black walnut or prime granite
if those are the things that mastodons
eat. Although a little yellow from age,
the molars took on perfect polish
when rubbed with little shellac. The
latter preparation was used for two
reasons. It is slightly less expensive
than Pebecco or Pyorrhicide and de-
cidedly better tasting.
The relics of prehistoric days were
uncovered at the shallow depth of
three feet. This fact is revealing mas
much as it indicates that Wisconsin
and possibly Kenosha was one of the
last stamping grounds of the vanished
mastodons. Similar discoveries have
been made before, in this community,
but rarely have remains so complete
as these been brought to light so near
the surface of the earth and in state
of preservation so perfect as that in
which the teeth of the monster were
found by the local biologists.

in stating that he would not register.
This morning the night in jail had
somewhat tempered his patriotism for
his "Fatherland' and he appeared
willing to take steps which the fed

others found himself in trouble be-
cause he had changed his age from
twenty-nine to thirty-two the night
before the registration and is in dan

6-DAY CLEANUP AT X. C.
Boy Scouts to Superintend City Beau
tiful Crusade -

Kansas City. Mo-, April 1O.-The six
days commencing April % have been
designated as cleanup week here
and civic organizations are co-operat-
ing with municipal authorities in eff
forts to have citizens haul away rub
bish, set their yards and homes in or
der, and beautify the city in every
manner possible. The first day will
be for house cleaning.
AS in previous years, the Boy Scouts
are expected to take an active part in
the work. They will be assigned in
squads to various sections and will Wis
it every home, requesting that trash
be removed. The tire department will
act similarly, as it has been pointed
out that the hauling away of trash
does much to eradicate the fire men
ace.
More than seventeen organizations
already have announced willingness to
aid in the work. Circulars setting forth
what should be accomplished will be
distributed broadcast thruout the city,
one of the plans being to have grocery
and other stores send them out to
homes with the delivery of parcels.
