1 None of our one-arm auto drivers have a warm spot in their hearts for Justice of the Peace Werremeyer of
 Clayton, Mo. Nor for Constable Schoen-
 blen and Deputy Constable Roth. both
 of Clayton, too.
 i All of them are roofing for Ed Fran
 cis, who is a one arm driver. and, take
 it from the young lady in the case. a good one"
 It looks much like it was going to
 that one-arm driving IS reckless driv- ing.
 The case has all the earmarks of 1 becoming one of those celebrated
 causes such as Dumas used to write
 about, for if the defendant loses 1t
 puts the finishing touch on automobile counting and will make autoing with ones best girl just about as exhila-
 rating as it used to be when one went buggy riding and had to keep both hands on the reins.
 ] Ed and his best girl were motoring along Clayton ward when Ed was pinched and fined for reckless driv- ing"
 '.Only one hand on the steering
 wheel" the constable testified; ''other was around the young lady"
 "The other arm" smiled the young man; sure. I don't mind telling you; 1 it was on the back of the seat, and guess if she didn't care it was no skin off the constable's nose" i However, the constable seemed to think it was skin off his nose.r and, as we remarked. pinched Ed nickins
 his poclzetbook to the tune of s760 The case goes to a higher court, not because Ed thought so much of s760,
 but because he wants to have it legally established by higher court that one
 arm driving goes with the law if the young lady doesn't object. And in Chicago, in the summer os t1s7S. some smart Aleck city cops ar 1 rested young man wno, with his best l girl, drove down State street. He had one hand on the reins and the other about the girl. so "she couldn't fall out going around the corner he explained to the judge. But the judge said, Dis orderly conduct. $1 and costs" 1 That young man, too, protested at the way cops and judges were ruining

the buggy riding industry for young folks, but before he got the case settled his way everybody had sold his buggy to buy tires for his automobile.
 And along in about 1899, or there abouts. some fresh aerial traffic off cer will pinch a joy-riding couple be- cause the young man is guiding his air plane with one hand and hugging the girl with the other arm.
 But before he gets the case firmly decided in favor of the one arm avi- ators, the young men will begin taking their best girls out in some newer method of transportation. and the whole program will have to get started again.
 Which reminds us that an English prophet has this hunch:
 All vehicles, excepting only those used in transporting freight, will be junked. No more passenger traffic on railroads, no need for passenger air planes, automobiles or buggies. Indeed. the travel of human beings practically will cease. Everybody will stay at home, and no shoe leather will be worn out.
 It'll be this way:
 humans Will De equipped with indl vidual wireless telephones, so they can talk with each other thousands of miles apart-no need to run down to New York, over to London or Manila, tc visit or transact business.
 Humans will be equipped with a wireless lens outfit tprophet doesn't say how or when), which will enable them to see clear round the world See a typhoon in the South Sea, a gorilla in central Africa, or a boishevist in Petro- grad just as easily as one sees the plate on the table at dinner-no need to race around the globe to see this thing or that person.
 Humans will, by method now un- known. shift ocean streams so that northern countries will be warmed by southern currents and the tropics will be cooled by Arctic waters Climate the same the world oyer-no need to go to Palm Beach in winter and north in summer. Maybe they'll be able to get a whiff of the ocean into Kansas in August by leading it mp the Mississippi and Missouri rivers
 That will be the life, eh boy!

PETER INvENrs A FAMlLY
By THE STORY LADY

There was a vacant lot down the street from Peter's house about block and when Peter came back from Grandma's house some one was build ing pretty brown bungalow on it. Peter watched the building with a great deal of interest.
 Its all done" he reported to his mother, and 1t sure is a dandy I hope some one moves into it today But no one moved into 1t for several days, and Peter who had very lively imagi- nation had whole family of his own living in the house.
 There was a big fat Papa who laughed all the time and a little slim Mama that believed in children hay ing tea-parties every day and a grand pa that had nothing to do but tell wild west stories. Then there was q little boy just Peters age whose name was Bob and a big brother that let little boys play with him and little girl with long gold curls whose name was Esmeralda. He spent a great deal of time at the brown house muca to the surprise of his friends and rela- tives who didn't know about the make believe family that lived there.
 Where are you going ?' asked his mother one day.
 Just down to see little Bob"
 Who on earth is little Bob?n
 He ain't on earth.9
 Well you certainly can't go to see him then" said Mama a little grossly. Sometimes she couldn't understand Peter.
 Well then can l go down and play in the yard of the little brown nouse?r
 I guess so. But 1 don't see what there is down there that you find so interesting
 But Peter only grinned

the protest against the city dumping
grounds on Lake avenue, stating that
the matter was now being investigated
by engineers Of the State Board Of
Health. The committee recommended
that all dirt taken from Howe street
this spring be placed on the dump to

A resolution was passed instructing
the city attorney to proceed with con

think Of doing in their own homes
Thousands of youn people ate their
lunches out in the open parks and
parkways, thoughtlessly throwing
away the remnants of their meal and
the wrappings. Thus Washington, to
the grief Of it's STRENGTHENING depart
ment, assumed a positively messy APP
-pearance. Apparently the waste paper
receptacles were forgotten.
Now that the war is over and hurly-
burly cities and towns are settling
down to normal conditions, the time
lis ripe to preach the gospel of the clean
city. 1t can be done, effectively, by
appealing to men, women and chill
dren through the local newspapers, urg-
ing that the streets are deserving of
better care. Movements that will re-
suit in the placing of waste paper boxes
at convenient corners, will help, and as
"a last resort, when the police depart
ments have done all they can by way
Of suggestion and education, few ar
rests or other disciplinary measures
will stimulate good results.
A clean city really reflects the habits
of its inhabitants, and in the final
analysis the people themselves are the
ones who can get the right results by
simply giving thought and refrainiIe
from contributing to municipal dis
order so far as streets are concerned
The cleanliness must be a daily habit
Annual clean-ups will not save the

Keep Your City clean Every Day.

In the rush Of the war, with vast
building operations going on in many
cities, and with greatly increased
population, there followed a painfully
evident lack Of good municipal house
keeping in respect to the orderly con-
dition Of public thoroughfares. Cities
that had been scruplously particular IN
keeping streets clean, free from paper
and other waste, found it impossible
to keep up with an ever increasing
accumulation of debris, and for the
time being otherwise "spotless towns !"
became dirty and ill-kept.
Even Washington, known for its
cleanliness, suffered Thousands Of
young men and women found them
selves suddenly become residents Of
the Capital city Many of them came
from places where clean streets had
not been a municipal hobby; they kept

Then see how closely things to eat

you begin exercising your Webster

slip into using the same words and

FOUND HANGING
IN A hay NOV
August Eichberger Commits
Suicide by Hanging Him
self at the Lamb Farm on
Saturday Night.
HAD LONG Been DESpONDENT

August Eichberger, aged 40 years, an
Austrian who had worked as farm
hand in Kenosha county for the past
ten years committed suicide at the
Lamb Farm on South Sheridan Road
last Saturday afternoon. G. w. White
superintendent of the farm found the
dead body of the man hanging to a
rsfter in the hay NOW of one of the
barns on the farm early Sunday morn
ing and notified Coroner T. r. Parker
who went out and made an investiga-
tion into the death Of the man. Coro-
ner Parker held that the circumstances
surrounding the death of the man
were such as to make it unnecessary to
hold an inquest. White told the
Coroner that Eichberger had been
respondent for some time and had in
sisted repeatedly that he did not get
enough out of life to make it inter-
esting for him.
Eichberger came to Kenosha county
more than ten years ago. For eight
years he was employed on the farm of
Frank Stanley in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie Then he came to Kenosha
and for year worked at the plant
Of the Balm Wagon Company He had
been employed at the Lamb Farm for
about year.
At two O'Clock Saturday afternoon
when White came to the city he told
Eichberger to look after the chores
about the farm. White returned to the
farm at nightfall and noticed that a
lot of the work had not been done
and he went out and called Eichberger.
When he got no response he decided
that the man had decided to 90 to
Kenosha and he made no further search
for him. When Eichberger failed to
show up on Sunday morning White
climbed up into the hay NOW to throw
down some feed for the horses. Then
he found the body.
Eichberger had a considerable
amount of personal property which will
be turned over to the public admins
traitor who will make an effort to locate
his relatives. So far as is known he
has no near relatives living in this
country but he is believed to have a
number of brothers and sisters in Aus
tria. 1t is thought that he was never
married.
No announcement is made as to the
time when the funeral will be held

No, matter what results may be at
tanned by a flibuster it still remains

that majority belongs to. The sharp
practices of the flibusterer are a dis
grace to deliberate body like the
