Building Homes.
como ont Of evil.

Good come out Of evil.
With this era of high rentals and in
creased cost of building we are being
stirred to thought and action for faster
and more economical building.
The other day at Union, N. j., under
the personal supervision of Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor, and Charles Il.
Ingersoll, the dollar watch man, a ce-
ment house was poured and completed
just 10 days after the first material
was delivered on the ground.
While the building industry has made
great strides in the last generation, yet
it has not made that Of other indus
tries where parts are highlygstandard-
lied and made interchangeable and to
economical quantity production.
Buildings are still "made" or
Hbuilt" rather than manufactured or
constructed as in the case Of cheap
watches or clocks, sewing machines,
typewriters or low priced automobiles.
Most Of the reforms in building
methods have been for the monumental,
commercial and industrial structures
rather than the average dwelling house
that most Of us can afford to occupy.
And the reason has been good one.
Up until about now there has not
been the economic demand.
And with the demand there will be
the supply Of reform.
Economic necessity is the mother,
father, nurse and school teacher of
accomplishment.
That the building industry has made
progress is indicated by the fact that
all building operations are in the ma
ture of assembling on the ground ,ra-
Their than, making or forming all the
parts up from the raw material and by
hand labor or the g&opnd as in times
past.
The steel, stone, terra Gotta and wood,
parts of structure are now cut or
formed in we'll ordered manufacturing
plants, equipped with power machine
tools, they are numbered, taken to the
building ground and put into place.
But it still requires from 80 to 100
days to build the average frame dwell
ling house.
But dwelling houses, such as propos-
ed by Edison and Ingersoll, cannot be
economically constructed one or two
at time rs is usually the case.
According to the standardized plan
they must be constructed in large num-
bers and all at once.
Either large number of individual
owners must agree to build at once, or
the preset must be in the hands of a
real es@Ate promoter VINO will COM
plete the houses and sell to individual
owners according to demand.
In this way the real estate promoter
will perform function much after the
manner of the merchant who assemblies
a stock of standardized manufactured
goods for the convenience of the com
munity.
We never solve problem until it is
presented.
And no doubt the problem of high
rentals and high building prices will
solve itself in more and lower cost
home owning, and the tendency of
which is indicated by the Edison-In-
gersoll accomplishment at Union, N.
j., the other day.

Zone little girl of ten was scarcely
larger than a child of four. She had

when these fogginggs were so severe

ITALIAN WOMAN
HAS BE RELEASED

Through the efforts Of Robert Vernon
Baker, one Of Kenosha s prominent at
torneys at law, Valencia Salient, an
Italian woman, and her two minor chill
dren, who have been detained at the
port of Boston, will be allowed to enter
the United States and will arrive in
Kenosha in a few days.
Valencia Salemi and her husband
formerly lived in Kenosha, but never
had taken out their citizens papers.
Sometime before the war she went back
to Italy. While in New York one Of
the children was born. All trace Of her
husband has been lost by her friends
who live here. When the war ended
Mrs. Salemi decided to come back to
America, but when she arrived at Bos-
ton she was detained by the immigra-
ton officers because she could not give
the names of any persons Of her kin to
her who would see that she would not
become public charge.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Baker by the woman S
friends in Kenosha and he secured the
necessary bond, forwarded it to Boston
and Mrs. Salemi is by now on her way
to Kenosha.

COMMITTEE CAMPAIGN ON
Kenosha Branch Of Fatherless Children
Of France Helping Parent Organiza-
tion To Help the Helpless
and Needy

Several thousand big-eyed lonesome
little kiddies in France, whose fathers
lie beneath the closely set wooden
crosses which mark the fields and
highways, would begin to- take heart
again could they realize the big wave
of practical sympathy for them which
is being set in motion in this country.
The Fatherless Children of France,
an American organization oo.operat-
ing with similar organization in
France, of which Marshal Joffre is the
head, has created special campaign
committee, with Mrs. Walter s.
Brewster of Chicago as chairman,
and is initiating drives in all parts of
the country.
The Kenosha branch Of this organiza-
tion is cooperating in this movement.
At Galveston, Texas, a fund of over
$500 was realized through "a prize
package day, when each box of the
inexpensive confection sold on the
streets by pretty young girls con-
tanned coupon emitting the pur-
chaser to some specific article donated
by the merchants of the town. The
price fixed on these packages realized
a profit of almost rs per cent, for the
little children Of France. In Chicago
a Vanity Fete is being given, with
the cooperation of the makers Of
gowns, society women agreeing to APP
pear as mannequins. A fund of $4,000
is expected to be realized from this,
while similar affair is announced to
be held IN Washington and an ARMS
tice Ball in Boston. At Muskogee,
Oklahoma, the local committee Sc
cured checking privileges at the Octo-
Der State Fair, and realized consider
able sum from this source and the sale
of postcards. A street dance at Ma
comb, Illinois, was productive of good
returns; a tag day at Des Moines, To-
wa, brought in 1926, Garden Fete
in Los Angeles, almost $1,000 and one
in Cincinnati $36,625.07, while in many
other communities the motto is mo
drive, but a steady do. -
Yet with all this help there are still
10000 wistful little fatherless children
not yet provided for, to whom Ameri-
can aid had been promised before the
armistice, Only ten cents day, added
to the tiny pension the French Govern
ment has been able to grant orphans of

There is no nation on earth that can

better than they did.

to run the risk of miltarism for forty

If America is going to discharge her

the most outstanding feature in the

Washington to the lamented Roosevelt.
What has made this country great9 Ii
is character. That of itself makes a
contribution which cannot be analysed,
but it is that which makes America
great among the nations of the world.
Much Yet to be Done.
After the armistice was signed I
heard man say: We'll, it is all over
No, my friends, it is not all over. I
would not detract one iota from what

they spilled their blood like water for

Mrs. George Bolton, aged ffty-fve
years, well known resident of the town
of Pleasant Prairie, is at the Kenosha
Hospital suffering from a fracture Of
the skull and her husband and four
other men are suffering from slight in
juries as result of collision between
a buggy and an automobile on the

the Northwestern Railway Company
at eleven O'Clock Thursday evening
A. w. Berglpnd of Albion Place, was
another seriously injured member Of
the party. He has fractured shoulder
and he is being cared for at the
Kenosha Hospital,
Fog Causes Accident.
+ The foggy conditions Of the night
are held to have been responsible for
the serious accident. !. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bolton were driving west on the Gene,
va Road when an automobile driven by
Harry VIM, GIT Elmhurst avenue and
having as its passengers Joseph Sic
bert, George Miller and A. W. Berg
lund, came from the west. Winn is
admitted to have been driving at
very moderate rate of speed. Bolton
had pulled his buggy almost off the
road to allow the automobile to pass
but Winn failed to see the buggy and
crashed into it, overturning it into the
ditch along the road. The automobile
also turned over and the four men in
it were thrown to the pavement. The
injured people were brought to the
Kenosha Hospital and the police are
investigating. While Mrs. Bolton is
very severely injured, it is thought
that she will recover.
Motor Car Hits Box Car.
Just about the same time Of the night
serious accident occurred at the
corner Of Union street and Grand
avenue when an automobile driven by
Joe Kubek, who gave his address as
725 Racine street, Racine, crashed head
on into a box car at t end of Union
street. Kubek was thrown through the
wind shield and his nose and one of his
ears were all but cut off by the glass.

arrest charging him with operating an
automobile while intoxicated. There
were five passengers in the car. VIII
liam LachoWski and Henry Kadora,
