Tired Little Mother
Sleeps at the Jail

She was just tired little homeless
mother and after her husband had left
her in Milwaukee she came back to the
old home in Kenosha bringing with her
a four and a half months old baby.
She had no place to go and she just
naturally drifted into the city hall
and coddling the little baby up in her
arms she fell asleep on the big roomy
bench in the corridor of the eity's
central place of business. She and the
baby were found sleeping peacefully
at the midnight hour. The kind heart
ed police officer. gathered them up and
took them oyer to the county Jail and
saw to it that they were made com
Portable for the night. Over at the
Jail Mrs. Meyer gave the tired little
mother the same care that she would
have given one of the members of her
own family This morning the woman
told her story and she declared that
she had obtained work in Kenosha
and that she knew that she could find
place for her and the baby to live.
AS the big hearted police officer told
the woman Goodbye" he slipped a
bill of generous dimensions into her
hand and she went off smiling and still
coddling the growing baby.

the summer colony Of the Massaehu-

tacle and plenty Of noise during the
first days of this month. Military ex-
perts were especially interested in the

show the feasibility of repelling an at
tack of war vessels by means Of rail-
road artillery. At distance of 10
miles from shore targets towed by a
tug were mark for the heavy guns Of
the And U. S. Coast Artillery. The
line towing the target was a mile or
more in length and the batteries con-
sisted of 8-inch guns, four to battery
mounted on specially constructed rail
road cars. The guns which weigh 81
tons each carried projectiles weighing
200 pounds. The entire artillery trains

London-The Sim Fein government

the event of the death of Lord Mayor
MacSwiney of Cork, so far as possible,

inflict death blow on the Irish people
Be assured the republican government
will carry out just retribution against

Warns against
Chimney Fires

) Is every part of your heating plant
in safe condition?
Last year nearly $3.50 of the total
number of Wisconsin fires and about
26Go of the total fire loss were due to
heating plant hazards.
During 1919, in Wisconsin, 70 per-
sons died and lat were injured through
fire. In, one case whole family was
wiped out. Think of it, 70 precious
lives and $1,50O,OOo of property sacri-
feed largely because of carelessness.
The discovery and remedy of heating
plant hazards are not particularly
technical, and only call for tae exer-
else of ordinary care and good common
sense.
You believe in protecting the lives
of those dear to you, your home, your
shop and your accumulated savings Of
lifetime; then profit by the lessons
of the past, as taught by these Stats
tics, and answer fully and conscien-
tiously the questions below before

.CYCLIST HURLED
FROM MACHINE
John Martin Suffers Severe
Injuries when Thrown
from Motorcycle.
TURNED OVER TWICE

John Martin, one of the best known
motorcyclists of Kenosha and the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Martin, 903
First avenue, is at DR.. Becker's hospi-
tai in Silverlake, suffering from a
triple fracture of his right leg as a
result of being thrown from his ma
chine Sunday, according to the word
reaching his relatives today. The ac-
cident occurred Sunday afternoon just
short distance west Of Trevor on the
Wilmot road when Martins machine
went off the road, turned over twice,
and hurled him several yards.
The cyclist was found in helpless
condition by passing motorists and
taken to the physicians Office in Sill
verlake. There his injuries were cared
for and he is being kept there until
his condition warrants bringing him to
his home in Kenosha. No internal in
juries developed on Monday and it is
believed that the compound fracture of
his right leg is the only serious injury
which he received.
Escape Was Miraculous.
No witnesses have been found for
the accident, but Martins story reveals
that he had miraculous escape from
more serious injuries. Martin says
that he was riding along at a fair rate
of speed when he skidded off the shout
der Of the road. His machine turned
over twice as it went into the ditch
and he was thrown several yards from
it. He considers himself fortunate not
to have suffered worse injuries.
The motorcycle was wrecked By the
spill. Late Sunday evening it was
taken to neighboring farmyard.
Martin told the persons who found him
that he didn't care what became of
it." but despite this statement it is
being held pending his recovery.

new company was formed several
