MIR. Red-Winged Blackbird was sit

nice to sit there thinking such pleas

He was wondering II Miss Red
Winged B~lackbird would-he hoped
she would and she had almost told him
she would. At least she hadn't told
him SO for she was too shy and too

Blackbird to be quite SO bold.
But somehow ne did feel that she
liked him and he knew that he liked
her, SO his thoughts were very pleas

was enjoying thinking about how he
would do II.
lie stood up on the stump several
times In several different ways, first
With his head cooked to the right, then

then with his head very straight In

And he said over to himself. Miss

And then he prnctlced saying II this

On the car which has been operated
for some months the operator frequent
~ finds that gear changing cannot be
accomplished without noise. The gears
do not mesh easily, which is not only
annoying but interferes with the opera
tion of the car. Harsh gear changing
is generally caused by spinning
clutch-that is, one that rotates after
it has been disengaged. Sometimes,
however, the trouble is misalign-
ment of the shafts of the gearset, due
to distortion of poor bearings. When
a cone clutch spins it is usually pos
sible to remedy the trouble by adj
justment. Roughness of the leather
may be the cause, and in this case a
coating Of neatsfoot oil or a dressing
of fuller IS earth will cure the condi-
ton. In a disc clutch, thinning the oil
sometime helps The spinning. When a.
dry disc clutch spins it is generally
caused by gummed discs.

ALTER PLANS
TO FIT PURSE
Park Board Has New Plans
For the Erection of Shell
ter and Comfort Station
In Bonds Woods.
WILL ASK FOR BIDS NOW
Board VIII Ask Council To Consider Al
Once Plan of Offering Regular Bud
Get For the Support of Work
In Parks For Next Year.

Showing Purse economy and
common sense the members Of the
Board of Park Commissioners have Sc
cured new plans for the erection OF
the comfort station and shelter in
Bonds Woods park and the board will
meet this evening providing Chfsir-
man Epstein can secure quorum
to consider the altered plans and direct
that bids be advertised for the new
building with view of having it com
pleted in less than sixty days if posi-
BILE.
We are altering our plans for this
building to meet our purse, said
President Epstein this morning. .eWe
have made trips to Racine and other
cities and we find that it will be posi-
bic for US to get a splendid building
Tor Bonds Woods park which will not
cost any more than the ten thousand
dollars which has been appropriated to
us by the common council. Of course
we will have to cut out some of the
frills and furbelows and the building
may not be as fancy as the one that
had been planned some time ago but /
am convinced that the new plans will
furnish everything Of a practical ma
ture that we will need The building
for the comfort station and the shelter
will be hundred and ten feet long
and it will contain everything that is
needed to make this park a comfortable
resort for the people. It will have its
toilet rooms and rest rooms, its drink
ing fountains and shelter for the people
from the weather. I feel that it will
meet every immediate demand of the
people.
1t is expected that the Board at
its meeting this evening will take &C.
ton to ask the council to place the
parks Of the city on an. intelligent
budget system in order to give the
members Of the board a chance to Law
plans for improvements from year ia
year. At the present time the council
only makes a small appropriation for
park purposes and it is declared that
the amount is usually entirely insult
ficient to meet the demands of even
normal growth.
I We should have q budget Of al
least twenty-five thousand dollars 3
year. declared President Epstein this
morning. This would not be enough
to permit Of any great expansion but
if we knew just what we are going tc
have it will be lot easier for us tc
make plans for the future and carry
these plans forward from year to wear
with a knowledge Of just what we are
going to have to take care Of the
parks. Kenosha is way behind other
cities in park support. We have done
nicely in the matter of purchasing park
lands but it is very important that
some plans be carried out for the prop
er Improvement Of the land after it i.
purchased. Park lands are gooe
thing for the city to have but it is i'm
proved parks which are Of creates
value to the people.
At the meeting this evening. the en-
tire summer program Of the Boarc
will be threshed out.
