The Melting Pot
GOMEZ TAKE POTDUCK
WITH Us

Dear Sir:
Do you know that Anna Csiszar
pronounced in the old fashioned
way, who applied TO County Clerk
Warner for a marriage license, is a
seamstress? If she should clip the
bonds Of matrimony. would they be-
come Liberty bonds? Bill.
Yes, but maybe she will remember
what sometimes happens TO Liberty
bonds. Still, Liberty bonds have
coupons, while the other kind are
said not 10 have them.
Councilman c. A. Byers has his own
ideas in regard to a coliseum as a
Up 20 a certain point the council
mans ideas on the memorial are
very similar 10 those OF a number
OF other South Bend citizens, but
after this point. they differentiate.
or at least they go farther.
The points of similarity in Mr. BY
ers' ideas in this matter and those
of other citizens are that the city
should erect the memorial. that It
should be a coliseum and that it
should be located in the heart Of
South Bend. Then begins the diff
ference.
The councilman believes that
something more than a place where
shows, exhibitions and things like
that may be held should be con-
tanned in the memorial. He believes
in contributing to the real pleasure
of the citizens of this commonwealth,
while keeping an eye out for the ar
tistic
Just a plain coliseum isn't what
we want to build i'm honor of our
soldiers" he declares. I'VE want a
coliseum, but we want omething
more. This coliseum must have a
big basement. 1t ought to run the
entire length and width of the build
ing. And this basement should con-
tain things that will be a real pleas
ure to everybody.
There should be plenty of pool
and billiard tables for the enjoyment
OF our boys. and there should be
bowling alleys for the same purpose.
Then we should have a good sized
skating rink, and there should be
an indoor baseball diamond. In ad-
dition to that we should have a SUI
fcient number of indoor tennis
courts. A commodious gymnasium
should be installed, for we should
look after the physical welfare OF
our citizens.
Then il would not be out of place
to have a suitable number of public
baths, and a barber shop and cigar
stand would not do any harm. What
we want is something that will be
useful as we'll as ornamental. A big
swimming pool would also be fine.
We must not leave out anything that
will add TO the enjoyment of our
soldier boys.
"A place where they can hold only
stock and poultry shows won't be
any kind Of a memorial for our he
roes. What we want is something
that means something. OF course
the entire building must be built on
as artistic lines as possible, but 1 am
for a basement in which can be in
stalled all those things I have just
named. I am for real enjoyment
and a basement with all those things
in it would add much to coliseum
Yes. sir. I am for a basement"
This is what Councilman Byers
says What he means may be diff
ferent. c. j. c.

AIRPLANES TO FIGHT FIRES
Filters VIII Patrol National Forests
on the Watch for Smoke.

Fire is the constant dread of all
who have to do with the management
of forests, either public or private.
More money is spent, perhaps, pre-.
venting and putting out fires in the
public woodlands than in any other
branch of the service. II a forest fire
can be discovered In its incipiency
and the means of extinction that are
maintained in all large forest areas
brought to bear promptly there is lit
tie danger OF spread. but 1t will be
readily apparent that blaze may
gain great Roadway before 1T is dis
covered even by the most efficient pa
troll system. Where a forest Is in a
mountainous county every hight point
is provived with lookout, who CON
stantly surveys the surrounding ter
ritory with powerful glasses, on the
watch for any thin curl OF smoke that
may mark the start of fire. But at
best the guards range of vision is
limited and the exact location OF the
smoke wreath hard to determine.
Now that the war is over and the
War Department finds itself with
more airplanes than are likely to be
needed for departmental purposes, il
has been decided TO try out the plan

Of the actions Of former County Boards
in the building Of other Court Houses.
Kenosha and Racine Counties were
divided in 1850. Our first Kenosha
County Court House was built that year
on the site Of the present Jail. It was a
story and a half building, built of red
brick, set in white mortar. The court
room was on the main floor with gallery
around the room with high railing in
front. The jail was in the basement.
Twenty years later in 1870 forty-fve
feet Of land was purchased of VIM.
Symes adjoining the property then
owned on the west and new Court
House was built. This is the building
now commonly known as the Municipal
Court Building. Fifteen years later in.
1885, the late Mr.. z. G. Simmons came
before the County Board and offered to
fGrniah o site ard build 4 G urt House
for the sum of $4,000. The offer was
not accepted as the county wanted a
new Jail. Mr.. Simmons finally built
the present Court House and Jail for
$31 900, the County to pay $4,000, the
city $4,000. Mr.. Edward Balm donat-
ing $1,000 ard Mr. Simmons donating
$4,000 Kenosha County could not
pay cash so Mr.. Simmons took notes
for $4,000. The building was accept
ed Nov. 13, 1885, and the lower floor
leased to the City for a term Of 90
years unless sooner terminated The
deed to this property passed to Keno
sha county January Is, 1888. At the
building of our first Court House In
1850, the population Of Kenosha Coun-
ty was 1874; in 1870 when the sec
ond building was built we had a pop
ulation of 13,147; in 1880 was $3.50;
in 1890, 1851; in 1900, 21,707; in
1910; 32,929 and today the city and
county has 50,548. At the present rate
Of increase in 1850 we would have q
population Of 118,74s.
