At the regular meeting of the Park
Board on Friday afternoon in the of
fees of Mayor Joachim, the proposal
for the purchase of the st. Mary's
Home property Just south of Kemper

discussed by the members. The prop
erty may be purchased for approxi-
mately $4,000. 1t consists of eight
and half acres with the buildings
which were used for the school, The
discussion brought out the fact that
the board could not consider the pro-
posal at the present time because of
lack of finances but that it might be
considered later.
Commissioner Lance suggested that
it might be possible for the Kenosha
Service League to secure the proper
ty and use it as an orphans home or
home for children.
Park Superintendent Schwanke ap-
peared before the board and asked that
he be allowed additional help to clean
up the parks before winter set in and

TELLS SOURCES
OF CHARACTER
Professor Joseph Jastrow
Pleases Kenoshans with
Second Address Here.
TALKS ON HEREDITY

The old question of the relative
value of environment and heredity in
shaping the fate Of an individual was
discussed in new and interesting way
on Friday evening at the Elks' club
by Professor Joseph Jastrow in the
second of his series of three lectures
in the festival of arts and sciences be-
y. G. Simmons for the benefit Of the
Kenosha County Bed in the American
Memorial hospital at Rheims. The
subject of the address was Character
and Temperament-the Sources of HUI
man Quality" and in a delightfully."-
scholarly and interesting way it delved
into science and psychology to drive
home the points which were made.
Intellect One Quality.
One of the qualities which an indi-
vidual secures from his ancestors or
through heredity, according to the
speaker, is an average intellect and the
function Of this is both to solve the
problems which may confront him
during life and to control the emotions
or guide the sensibilities. How much
this was exercised by the individual
would measure his success.
Curiosity" said Professor Jastrow,
"is one of the examples of the intel
lectual aspects Of the emotions. The
beginning of all intelligence is Curl
osity and without it the world of in
vention would never have been dis
covered" He also declared that ina
gination added to curiosity was essen
tial to develop real intellect.
Differences Are Necessary.
The speaker pointed out that it was
highly important that all individuals
did not inherit the same qualities, and
that while there were only small diff
ferences between individuals, it Nwas
these that made for progress. "Our
civilization is so differentiated" he
said, "that slight differences or speci-
allied differences are greatly enhanced
and bridge the gap between success
and failure. Individuality is only the
measure of these differences"
In concluding he pictured an Utopia
where all individuals would be fitted
for the stations to which they were
assigned and declared that the future
of this nation and any democracy de-
pended on how nearly way was found
to utilize the qualities of men and
women which are inherent in them and
which are conducive to progress.

Order Ballots
for Fall Election
Secretary of State Has Sent Forms of
the Ballot to County Clerk
Holderness.

The election machinery is already
set for November End. Secretary of
State Merlin Hull has sent the official
ballot to each county in the state for
printing. The ballots this time will
be three in number which must be
printed in each county. First is the
referendum ballot which must be print
ed on pink paper. Second, the state
ballot which is printed on white paper,
and third, the presidential ballot which
is printed on blue paper.
Contrary to general belief, three bal
lots will be handled this fall. The
presidential ballot is entirely separate
from the ballot for state officials and is
printed on different colored paper. The
referendum ballot is distinct from the
state ballot.
County clerks are complaining that
they will not be able to print the pres.
idential ballot on blue paper as re-
CURED by law. The statute provides
that this ballot should be printed on
a blue news paper and the paper short
age finds many printers in the state
out of supply Attorney General
Blaine ruled that where printer did
not have blue news paper he could use
some other paper, the nearest possible
to blue but not white or pink.
In the different counties of the state
the ballots are sent to election pre-
cincts Of which there are nearly 2,400
in the state. With the large women's
vote which will be east this year the
result of elections for all officers may
not be known for two or three days
after election.

STATE Is STINGY
IN ROAD FUNDS
Kenosha County Gets but
$14,154.71 for Building
Roads Next Year.
MONEY FOR UPKEEP

II henosha county wants to do any
great amount of road building in 1921,
the money to pay for the roads must
be raised by the towns and the county,
as the announcement from the state
received by the county clerk this morn
ing IS that the state viii furnish a
measly S14,154.71 as state aid in the
building of roads for 1921. This is a
few dollars more than was given to the
county by the state in the former year
but it is sufficient to build just about a
quarter of mile of concrete road. The
amount is declared to be the proper
tionate amount of the state fund of
S7S5,O00 due to Kenosha county under
the state valuation of property in the
county.
The state also certified to the clerk
that the county will receive from the
state highway commission the sum of
S14,905 for the maintenance of the
state highway system in the county
This money will be paid to the county
on monthly acquisitions made to the
commission as work proceeds during
the year 1921. This amount is consid-
erably larger than the amount allowed
last year, rejecting large increase in
automobile license fees.
1t is not expected that the small
amount allowed by the state for road
work will have the effect of ending
road work in the city but the county
board will decide in November just
what money will be spent by the coun-
ty and the towns will be expected to
meet the appropriation with a similar
appropriation.

Man Charged with the Charles Pacini Murder
May Be First to Face Jury of
Women Here.
UNDER A SPELL" IS HIS DEFENSE
Records in Case Certified to Circuit Court Today and
Case VIII Be Called Week from Monday
May Call in Another Judge

The records in the case of the State
VS.. Frank Lang, charged with the muir
der of Charles Pacini, were certified to
the circuit court today and the Lang
case is expected to rest until the open
ing of the circuit court term on octo-
Der 18th, at which time formal motion
will be made that it be placed on the
criminal calendar for the term. There
is short criminal calendar with but
four cases scheduled for trial and if
the regular order were followed, it is
probable that the Lang case would be
reached pretty close to the opening
day of the term.
The attorneys interested have, how
ever, declared that the case will not be
taken up until after the elections are
held in November. Lang might be ad-
mitted to bonds, but it is very improb-
able that any request for bonds will
be made as it is regarded as certain
that Lang could not furnish the bond
which might be demanded by the court
In murder cases in recent years, where
the defendants were released on bond,
the sum of $4,000 has been named.
May Call in New Judge.
1t is just possible that when Lang
is erraigned for trial, a Judge from
some other circuit will be called in to
hear the case. It is certain that the
attorney for the state and the attorney
for the defendant would be entirely
agreeable to the case being heard by
Judge Be1den, but the fact that Lang
has already pleaded "guilty" to the
charge of murder before Judge Belden
may cause the sitting judge to seek
someone else to hear the trial Of the
case. 1t is expected that there will be
lot Of trouble in securing a Jury to
hear the case. With the active propa-
ganda which has been working in the
case, it has been given wide publicity
and it is certain that lot of the men
in the county who have heard the facts
in the case have formed opinions. The
following men in the city and county
will be subject to jury service in the
case:

CLUB DIRECTORS
TO BE ELECTED

The members of the committee for
the Kenosha Girls club have mailed
letters to the stockholders, announc-
ing the first stockholders meeting to
be held at the Coliseum Wednesday
evening, Oct. 20. At this meeting the
board of fifteen directors will be elect
ed. To aid the stockholders in their
choice of directors a list Of thirty
names, the names which appeared
most frequently in the ballots at the
general mass meeting held at the Coli
scum last June, has been attached to
each letter. 1t is not necessary to
make the choice of directors from the
names appearing on this list. Num-
bers Of new stockholders have been en-
rolled since the June mass meeting
which gives q much wider field for
choice. On the evening for the cleo
ton of the directors persons whose
names do not appear on the list may
be voted upon.
Letter Sent Out.
The letter sent to the stockholders
follows:
"To members of Kenosha Girls
Club: Our first stockholders meeting
will be called at an early date. At
this meeting we must elect our board
of fifteen directors for the Kenosha
Girls club. Have you been thinking
about this board of directors? Do
you know several girls whose names
you would like to suggest? Do you
know the girls you would like to vote
for?
cat the last mass meeting, held at
the Coliseum June Is, we asked all
the members present to make lists of
names of the girls whom they felt
would be capable From those lists
we have selected thirty whose names
appeared most frequently.
"Look this list over! Think it over!
See if you can select fifteen girls
from it il whom YEN have every con-
hdence. If you know of soma SPLEEN
did girl whose name is not there put
her name on your list and suggest it
at the meeting.
"You will receive notice of the exact
date Of this meeting soon. Until that
time let us all be carefully consider
ing who shall be the directors for
the Kenosha Girls club ?'-Signed,
The Committee"
In the meantime, until the time
when the members of the Kenosha
Girls club will be able to proceed
with the business OF purchasing and
establishing the club site, the activi-
ties of the Girls Community Ser
vice League will continue. Prominent
in the schedule will be the usual in
formal dancing parties. Arrange
ments have been made for party to
be given at Grosvenor's hall this even
ing.

hermann Bros. Store En-
tered in Early Morning
Load of Loot Taken.
BURGLARS USE BRICK
Silk Shirts, Silk Ties and Muf-
fers Together with Costly
Stiff Hats Make Up Loot.

The store of Isermann Brothers on
Market square was the victim Of one
of the biggest burglaries of the year
in Kenosha early this morning when
thieves forced their way into the store
by throwing a brick through rear
window. While an inventory has not
as yet been made, it is believed that
the loot secured by the thieves is val
ued at more than $500 and it is posi-
Bile that a more careful check-up Will
show much larger loss.
1t is believed that the burglars had
backed a truck up to the rear OF the
store building and used this convey
ance to haul away the vast amount OF
furnishings secured. The broken win
dow was the only clew to the identity
Of the burglary when it was discovered
by the ianitor, John "Dad" HASA, just
after four o'clock this morning. It is
believed that the thieves were still at
work in the store when HASA opened
the door to begin his work just after
four o'clock and that they were pre-
vented from making greater haul by
his arrival.
Showed knowledge of Stock.
That the robbery had been carefully
planned and that the thieves had made
a study of the stock to be able to Sc
cure just what they wanted without
loss of time, is shown by the collection
Of stuff taken. The men took whole
boxes of valuable silk shirts from the
reserve stock; they took whole tiers
Of silk shirts from the showcases in
the store and whole shelf full of the
most valuable stiff hats carried by the
company. They took boxes OF silk
mufflers, valued at from 81 to $40 each
and many boxes of silk stockings. So
far as can be discovered, the men did
not get any clothing, but several Of the
best overcoats in the place had been
laid out, evidently to be added to the
truckload Of loot taken.
No Report During Night.
Lights were burning in the Isermann
store during the night and the usual
rounds Of officers were made but no re-
pened at the store. It is evident that
the thieves threw brick through the
rear window of the store and that with
the hole made by the brick it was easy
for them to unlatch the window and
enter the place. When Hasa entered
the store this morning, he went to the
upper portion of it. He slammed a
door twice and this is thought to have
been the warning to the men that they
were facing discovery. The case was
reported to the police shortly after the
janitor made the discovery and while
orders were sent to all the officers,
there were no suspects picked up. The
fact that the burglars saw just the
best things in the store indicates that
the work was the work Of men who
knew just what they were doing and
just what they wanted to get.

Bonus Students Enroll
for College COurce
Over 1,100 Soldiers of Wisconsin VIII
be Enumerated Among the
Students at Wisconsin.

Slightly more than eleven hundred
bonus students have enrolled in the
University of Wisconsin this fall I'M
der the Wisconsin soldiers bonus law,
according to the figures on registration
at the university last week.
This number is about three hundred
less than the total of bonus students
who attended the university last year.
The number of bonus students who
are attending the Milwaukee branch
of the university is not included as
these figures have not yet been re-
ceived at the university.
Among the eleven hundred students
are five women who served during the
war in capacities that entitle them to
the thirty dollars a month bonus. The
bonus students are all ages and in all
classes, quite evenly distributed among
the various courses and colleges at
the university.
