sales LADY
GETS FUR Thief

After one of the most daring shop
lifting crimes known in the history of
Kenosha business Myrtle Andersen, 81
years of age claiming Truesdell as her
home was arrested just before six
o'clock Wednesday night and taken to
the Kenosha county jail to be booked
on charges of grand larceny. The ar
rest of the Anderson girl was one of the
most thrilling incidents that blase
Main street has seen in some time and
her capture was made by sales lady.
The sales lady was Miss Rose Ward Of
thes D. M. Korf store.
The girl was caught in the valley in
the rear Of the hotel haywood and
when she was captured she was snug
ly tucked away in a splendid fur coat
which had been taken from the racks
in the Korf store only minute before
the girl was caught.
Quiet Hour offered Opportunity.
It was a quiet hour on retail row.
that the girl selected to make the raid
on the store. Miss Ward and other
employees of the store were standing
near the desk in the center of the room
and they did not notice the front door
of the store open. The young woman
had evidently carefully planned the
theft of the coat and she slipped into
the store so quietly that she did not
attract the attention of the clerks. "A
minute later with the cloak under her
arm she slipped out the door again.
Miss Ward looked up just in time to see
peared out of the store and she prompt
ly gave chase AS she reached the
side walk she saw a girl wearing a fur
coat turn east on Wisconsin street.
Miss Ward kept right after the girl
and shouted to other employees of the
store for aid. AS the girl reached the
alley Just East of Main street Miss
Ward caught her and turned her over
to one Of the other employees Of the
store.
Girl Sobs Out tim Crazy.
The girl was taken back to the store.
She was arrayed in the handsome fur
coat valued at hundred and twenty
five dollars. She had removed the tags
from the coat in her hurried flight.
g ] IN crazy, / m crazy she sobbed to
the people in the store. "Please don t
tell the police.D just little while
later a police officer arrived and the
girl was turned over to him. At the
Jail it was declared that this was not
the FIRST. offense of the young woman
and that she had been previously pa

The police will file an application
asking that the young woman be sent
to the Home Of Feeble Minded at Chip
pewa Falls and given proper treatment.

MAYOR SHOWS
KENOSHA GROWTH
City's Chief Executive Tells
Members of Jiwanis Club
of Work Done During the
Past Year.

best city in Wisconsin today be-
cause of its great manufacturing
interests and because it is made up
of live people. The number of peo-
pie does not make the biggest and
best city-it is the spirit of its
people, its progressiveness, and its
willingness to do things. Kenosha
has the right kind of progressive
ness and its future can not be pre-
dicted along narrow lines. It's
future is going to be great because
men CT wide vision and men with
pep and punch in them are going
to make it great
This was what Mayor John G. Joach-
i'm told the members of the Kenosha
Kiwanis Club at the weekly dinner at
the Elks Club at noon today His talk
to the members of the club was in a
way an account of his stewardship as
mayor of the city during the past two
years and he went into figures to show
the onward rush of the city. He de-
clared that no city in Wisconsin could
show such proportional improvement
and that the record of Kenosha along
these lines was one which stood high
in the list of cities of the nation.
1919 a Banner Year for Kenosha.
The mayor showed that the year just
closed was one which brought pride to
every member of the official family.
" Forty-seven streets have been paved
during the year and the paving work
on eight more has been started" he
declared. "This means that during the
year1919 the city of Kenosha did one
fourth as much paving as had been
done in all the previous history of the
city. The cost of this paving was
1921, 1903 and of this cost the city Of
Kenosha paid $85, $3.50. The city laid
385 pieces of sidewalk during the year;
sewers were laid in forty-seven streets
of the city, this being one-twelfth as
much sewer as had been laid in the
former history of the city. The sew
ers cost $170,344 and Of this amount
the city paid $1o3,78S."
Big Expenditure for Breakwaters.
During the year, the mayor showed,
that Che city had expended nearly
$4,000 for protection Of the lake
shore and that in building this break
water the city had claimed for park
purposes between 81 and so acres of
land He showed that the purchase of
the tractors for street work had saved
the city vast sum of money. Increase
in the efficiency of the water works
was shown in that there had been over
foua miles OF water mains laid during
the year at cost of $4,000, He
showed that the total cost of the water
plant to date was 100000. He re-
ferred to the rebuilding of the Middle
street bridge at a cost Of $4,000 and
declared that the building of the Main
street bridge had been laid over be-
cause the people could not be expected
to stand such heavy mill tax. He
predicted that this work would be car
ried out just as soon as it could be
financed without burdening the people

Served in Crucial Period.

The resignation of "DickV Francis
as leader of the work of the Chamber
of Commerce will come as a matter Of
regret to the members Of that organi-
cation who have had chance to know
the work that he has DONE Night and
day work has been his rule and it was
largely through his work that many
big movements in the city were carried
out, He served in the civic organiza-
ton in the most crucial period Of the
history of the city Secretary Francis
came to Kenosha from Eau Claire in
the early spring of 1917. He was just
starting the work of organizing the
Chamber of Commerce for civic work
when the war came along and the work
was diverted so that it took in great
war movements which became neces-
sary. The Chamber was a leader in
every one of these big enterprises and
Secretary Francis brought wealth of
enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge
to boar in the organization of the move
ments and the carrying forward of
them. Much of the success Of these
movements was due to the organization
work done in the office of the Chamber
of Commerce.

Found Many Ways to Aid.


Without advertising, Secretary Fran
els found lot of ways to make the
Chamber of Commerce helpful to Ke-
nosha people and the personal touch
that he put on the work proved helpful
to many people. The war naturally in
terfered with the many things which
Were planned as especial movements
for the organization but even with the
war taking up the interest of the peo-
pie the Chamber of Commerce did much
work along civic lines.
Secretary Francis has shown in his
work genius for organization and the
results attained by the organization
were in large measure the result of
his careful organization.
No Mention of Successor.
There has as yet been no mention of
q successor to the retiring secretary
The matter will be taken up at the
next meeting Of the board Of directors
and it is probable that committee
viii be appointed to seek new man to-
take up the work which Mr.. Francis
will lay down.
Francis has done a great work in
Kenosha, declared one of the diree-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce to-
day. GIVE are going to miss him and
miss him lot. He worked under a
great handicap in Kenosha. Lots of
the time the support given him by the
board of directors and others was not
what it should have been, but he was
always willing to take the work on his
own shoulders and carry it through.
He has shown a spirit for work which
has been wonderful and much of the
success that the organization has made
has been due to the fact that Dick
Francis was working man and willing
and capable to do the things that had
to be done | haven t heard word
about who viii succeed him, but it viii
have to be q real man III this kind of
work.

the law does state that he canno ad
~vertise fraudulently Or in such a
manner as to deceive the public, OF
as using any drug, medicine, material
formula, system or anesthetic which is
either falsely advertised, misnamed, OF
not in reality used"
So, Mr.. Editor, this action in the
court, is not taken in any measure to
hurt the newspapers of the state nor to
prevent them from selling the space
they have to sell.
/ also wish you to take note that the
regulation of the actions of Idaho dent
lists is not in the hands of The Idaho
Dental Association, as your article
states, but in the hands of the de-
partment OF law enforcement. A dent
Eal board (of which the writer is a
member) is appointed and has power
to hold examinations and hearings on
various matters, such as r~evOcations,
etc. But, Mr.. Editor, complaints do
not come from the board, al in the
case of the thirteen actions referred
to in your paper, the complaints
were filed by a dentist Of Boise and
were prosecuted by a representative
of the attorney generals office. In
only one of the thirteen cases, was
advertising an issue, the other twelve
being for alleged fraud in the pro-
curing of their licenses.
AS stated in the beginning of my let
ter the Idaho law is a good one and is
an honest effort to protect the public
from the ministrations of quacks and
charletans. I call your attention to
the fourth paragraph of Sec. Is of

thing there to prohibit a man from
advertising should he so desire?
1 am going to ask you in all fair
ness to the dentists of the state to
any statement you have made
as to any non-advertising dentist be-
non-progressive, which attack you
have made solely because they refrain

'ering into any controversy. The de-

ANCIENT CITY is CHAN-CHAN
Today Nothing but d Mass Of Ruins,
but Was FiourishinQ Before Pr
zarro Ravished Peru.

Chan-Chan is not. as the name
is one of the oldest cities in Peru, or
in the world. The Chimus. who built
Chan-Chan, are supposed to have been
an elderly race when the Incas were
yet %barbarians. After a time the IN
cas- became civilized. and powerful ard
captured Chan-Chan. Then Pizarro
came to plumber and wreck the city
and massacre the inhabitants. So
much of the Chimus' history is de-
Quoted from the remains of Chan-Chan
and old Spanish narratives.
The people who inhabited the old
metropolis were moon worshipers.
The moon, they said, was the most
worthy deity of nature, for 1t shone
not only at night but also in the day,
whereas the sun could shine in the
day only. The sea was supposed to
be under the special protection of the
moon. because the latter controlled
the tides. Images of fish and other
moon and sea we're therefore built by
the Chimus and many nave been I'M
covered in the ruins of their city.
Chan-Chan has since the time of Pi-
zarro beer a heap of ~reckage. There
are palaces, workshops, factories and
great battered pyramids built up in
terraces and surmounted by buildings.
These are the mounds in which the
Chimu dead once lay. Like the Egyp-
tians. these people buried with their
dead many articles of their personal
property. From one of these mound
a Spanish adventurer obtained S3'-
600. 900 worth of gold and silver. For
many years Chan-Chan yielded to the
Spanish conquerors fabulous sums OF
gold.

HEART FAILURE KILLS
YOUNG MAN OF CHARLESTON

CLARKSTON-William Smith, 20
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S.
Smith, of Lower Asotin road, died
bathing in Snake river a short dis
lance below Shadows Nest Tuesday
evening. He with eight companions
went to the beach shortly before s
o'clock and the boys had been swim
ming but a few minutes when the
young man passed away.
The recital of the circumstances as
given by his companions was that the
lad had dived once or twice and re-
turned to the shore. At the time he
made his last dive it was noticed that
he struck the water almost squarely
with his stomach, and that after he
returned to the surface he appeared
to swim with his face beneath the
surface. AS he approached the shore
he used his hands to drag his body
into the shallow water and immedi-
ately dropped his face into the sand
of the beach. He appeared to con-
tinue the struggle with his lower
limbs and at one time he raised his
face from the beach. 1t was then
noticed that his face was covered
with mud and his companions became
alarmed. They called to him and
when he did not reply they rushed
to his aid and dragged the body from
the river. Efforts were made to re-
vive life and a call was sent for ply
sicians but the boy was evidently dead
when he reached the shore.

Defends the Dental Board.

Editor Star-Mirror: The dental pro-
fession of the state of Idaho has re-
ceived some. publicity through the col
umns of your paper in two recent is
sues and in the opinion of the writer,
the public is being misled, not malic-
iously, but misled, nevertheless.
The last session of the legislature
passed a new dental law and it is
recognized as a good one and there
is in course of construction a similar
bill for the state of Washington.
There was also, a law enacted Great
ing a department of law enforcement,
under which department the dental
profession is licensed.
In the articles referred to, appearing
in your paper, mention is made OF a
decision of the supreme court, how
ever, this decision is one made by the
judges of the Third Judicial District
and not by the supreme court, at all.
You lay great stress pom the fact
that an attempt is made to prohibit
advertising in newspapers. There is
not one single word in the laws of
the. state of Idaho, prohibiting a
dentist from advertising in the news
papers should he wish to do So, but

fort to win America and the world
for Christ, the whole country would
rise up and help support. The
churches took these people at their
word and launched into one of the
greatest church movements this
country has known, but they have
discovered what they probably
should have known before, namely
that the friendly citizen does not I'M
derstand the spirit of giving. Some
magnificent giving from these peo-
pie was in evidence, but on the whole
the churches found a deaf ear to
their appeals so far as this class is
concerned. The various churches
have given literally. If the move
ment must die for lack of support
we all be grateful that so much has
been accomplished and with the
churches there will be an increasing
cooperation, even though we have not
the means to establish a world clear
ing house for professionalism.

people were asked to raise over g
billion dollars for united church
work, and work together for the bet
terment of humanity regardless OF
creed or sect. 1t was further stated
that most of the amount was raised
and that now the movement would be
abandoned and that to the laymen
this would look very much like OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
1t would be difficult to convey
more misapprehensions, and wrong
understandings than would come
from this editorial, if one did not
know anything about the matter.
In the first place the Inter- Church
World Movement has not yet been
abandoned. Evidently the executive
committee has recommended that it
be abandoned the reason being lack
Of financial support. There will be
no decision as to what shall be done
until the general committee meets
on the 9th of July
In the second place the Interchurch
movement is not a separate church,
but a cooperation of churches. Each
church was to spend it's own money
in it's own field. Every dollar of the
money obtained will be used for the
objects named. For to those inform
ed it is well known that already
large sums have been spent in taking
surveys of the world needs and help
ing to fix responsibility for the vari-
III churches in different fields. The
Methodist church alone underworld
several hundred thousand dollars of
the expense of the campaign and will
have a good deal of her underwriting
to pay. From the standpoint of
money the Interchurch World move
ment is a liability and not an asset to
the churches in it. Nevertheless
most of the chruches feel that it has
been worth while for what has been
accomplished in fraternity and CO.
operation. If the movement should
be abandoned it would simply mean
that because the country at large did
not see fit to support a united move
by professionalism, the good work be-
gun cannot be carried as far as it
otherwise would have gone.
Many friendly citizens in America
had told the leaders of the churches
that if they would unite in their eff
