YOUNG COPEN GETS
REAL KNOCK OUT

Young" Copen, known in the city
directory as Samuel Copen, young
Kenoshan who battled his way to fame
as boxer while he was member of
the A. E. F. in France, had a real
Knockout early this morning but it
can be said that it was not inflicted by
any of the rising young lightweight
fighters who have been looking for
"OPENS scalp. On the other hand, it
was inflicted by one of the engines of
the Northwestern Railway company
and Copen took the full count of ten
and then some. He was able to get to
the center of the ring again this morn
ing but he had several stitches in his
scalp and a bandage on his left arm
as marks of his tussel with the switch
engine. The fight took place at the
Rowland avenue crossing of the North
western road just before one o'clock
this morning.
Saw Everything at Once.
Copen told the police this morning
that his encounter with the engine was
something like it would be if he stuck
his jaw up against the left paw Of
Jack Dempsey. 81 saw and heard ev-
erything at once-the glare of the en-
CINE lights, the ringing of the bell and
the toot of the whistle" said Copen.
Copen was driving an automobile south
on the Kenosha division. He saw the
train too late to stop his autom obile
and he turned it to the east in an
effort to avoid a collision. The train
was coming fast enough to pick up the
automobile and throw it nearly over to
Market street. The people who went
to investigate, found Copen at the
wheel in the car but unconscious. Dr..
Christopherson was called to attend
him. Copen declared today that no
warning of the approach of the train
was given until it was too late for him
to avoid the accident. He said the
train was running as a speed of at
least rs miles an hour and that the
gates were not lowered at the crossing.
He wants the company to pay for the
wrecked automobile and for his in
juries.

ORPHANS OFF
FOR NEW HOME


Changes have come fast in the last
week in the life of little Annie, Char
les and Freddie Wenderoth. Early
Wednesday morning they were rescued
from burning to death when their
father, awakened by their Airdale
terrier, found their house in flames
end carried the children through a
wall of Ere to safety This morning
as the fire had totally destroyed the
house and the father had despaired
for the present of securing a new
home; the children were put on a
morning train to Wauwautosa where
they will be taken care of at the Luz
theran Orphans Home in that city.
Wore Their Gift Clothes"
The three little orphans went to the
home looking their best, for on Fri
day friend of theirs presented each
Of them with brand new set of
clothing to help take the place of all
those which were destroyed when the
home and it's contents went up in
flames. They did not go to the home
empty-handed, either, for in answer to
the appeal for clothes for the chill
csren, KeAlosha mothers had opened
their hearts and sent several suits
Of clothes for each of the schildren.
Some of these do not exactly fit
the little Wenderoths, but they are
taking them with them to the orphans
home where they intend to give them
to some other orphans who may be
little less fortunate than they are.
SIS the Only Way"
Carl Wenderoth, the father, was not
anxious to send his children away
to the home in Wauwautosa. Since
the death Of his wife several months
ago, he has tried to keep up the home
here for his children in spite of sew
eral misfortunes.
"This seems the only way now,
though" he said this morning. at
will be nearly impossible for me to
secure home here for several months
and they would probably have better
care up there than could give them.
They will all be together, too, and
that was one of the things | was try
ing to keep for them
VIII Help Support Children.
The place in the home at Wauwau-
tosa was secured through Rev. Carl
Buenger, pastor of the Friedens
Evangelical Lutheran church and the
Kenosha Service league. Wenderoth
is to clothe the children and pay for
their board according to his ability.
He is hoping that sometime he will be
able to gather them again around his
Preside after few years.
Wenderoth is not entirely alone in
his regretting to send the children to
the home in Wauwautosa. Jewel, the
Airedale terrier, whose watchfulness
warned his master of the fire, was a
great playmate of the children and it
is declared that he appears inconsol-
able because he cannot find any of the
children whose lives he helped save.

PENNIES OPES
WAY TO HEALTH

kenosha people. who each year give
their pennies to buy Red Cross Christ
mas Seals, today and yesterday re-
ceived striking demonstration of the
value of the health work, financed by
money raised in. this way, at the free
clinic being conducted by the Wiscon-
sin Anti-Tuberculosis association at
the city hall. Over $50 people had
taken advantage of the opportunity Of
fered for free chest examinations up
to ten o'clock this morning. From in
dication this morning it was expected
that the Kenosha clinic would be the
largest ever held in the state
Over two hundred and fifty people
passed through the examining room
yesterday, the last patient being ex-
amined at 1880 last night. Babies
in arms to gray-haired grandmothers
and grandfathers, whose families,
parents unable to speak a word of
English, bringing a small son or
daughter for interpreter, were in the
throng. An unusually large number
of factory employees were persent, due
to the fact that several concerns gave
their workers time off to attend the
clinic. Among those examined were
people in good physical condition, just
wanting to make sure, others, who had
been in close contact with tuberculo-
sis people and wishing to know of the
condition of their own lungs.
Hope For the Afflicted.
A cheerful atmosphere permeates
the clinic, the general air being one
of hopefulness. The fact that con-
sumption is durable and preventable,
lis emphasized and the person who re-
ceives the verdict Tuberculosis" is
advised just what steps to take in
order to recover. Barred chest exam
nations are the rule at the clinic, as
this is the only way in which q thor
ough examination can be made, the
doctors state. The personal interest
and kindly manner of he physicians
and nurses have won many words of
praise from the visitors.
Find Pathetic Cases.
One of the pathetic. cases, which
OIOuSHG a SSI1OuS PAoOlSHu D6AOI0. the
workers, was a young mother with
three small children, the youngest
eighteen months and the oldest six
years. The mother is tuberculous and
if she continues to care for her family
as she is now, the doctors say, she is
not only endangering her own life, but
those of the entire family. Her hus-
bands salary being but $500 a week,
the financial problem must be solved.
Giving advice in cases of this kind
as we'll as a medical diagnosis, is part
of the mission of the clinic workers.
An unusually large number of child
rem have been in attendance at the
clinic to take advantage of the serv-
ices Of the specialist in children's dis
eases. Local physicians have been
frequent visitors at the clinic, and
much credit for the success of the
clinic is due to their cooperation and
of other Kenosha people, according to
Theo. j. Werle, organizer of the clinic.
s. ""In none of the cities we have Wis
tied, has our clinic received better CO.
operation" said Mr.. ,Werle. "Physi-
clans, nurses, newspapers, factories,
schools, churches, city officials, clubs
and other local agencies and people
interested have united as one big body
to back her work"

ers, public health nurses especially
trained in infant welfare work The
health department in Kenosha has not
been able previous to now to do this
sort of work satisfactorily for want Of
adequate help should recommend,
therefore, to your honorable body that
two additional public health nurses be
employed.
The inspection of dairies and other
establishments where food is sold will
have to be turned over to Mr.. Miller.
This will undoubtedly necessitate the
appointment Of an assistant in the la
boratory.
Through the efforts of the Kenosha
Anti-Tuberculosis and Public Health
League building has been arranged
to take care of public clinic for all
sorts of diseases. The department
of veneral diseases is already in opera
ton, other departments will be open
ed as soon as proper arrangements
can be made. This should prove of
great help to the work now done by
this department among the school
children especially.
Hearty cooperation with the health
department by large number of peo-
pie has been source of great pleas
ure and satisfaction to the employees
in the department. and has made out
work easier and more efficient; but
there are still too many people who
are not sufficiently informed as to the
activities and aims Of the department
who would probably cooperate if they
were better informed, for this purpose
monthly bulletin issued by the de-
partment for general distribution, is
desired and we hope that your hon.
orable body and the council will sane
ton the issuance Of such bulletin.
Thanking you again, am very re-
spectfully yours, G. Windesheim, NJ
D., Commissioner Of Public Health.

CHILD WELFARE SPECIAL
Motoring Health to Farm Children.

bureau of the United States Depart

| Special is a motorized child welfare
station which Was put into the field
last summer for the purpose of tel
ling mothers of children in rural
districts all the things that mothers
of city children learn at the city
child health centers. The special has
visited five rural counties, none OF
which contained more than one
town of over $500 inhabitants. Four
Of these were agricultural counties
and one was a mining section.
The aim of the Child Welfare
Special is, in all cases educational
and not clinical.
1t was found that rural, no less
than town-bred children present
numerous and serious physical de-
fects in spite of advantages which
country life is supposed to offer.
Decayed teeth and poorly developed
bones We're the most prevalent de-
fects, though malnutrition was cam
mon. Milk and vegetables, indis-
pensible foods for children even
When abundant, frequently formed
only small part of the diet, or did
rot enter it at all. The food of many
children in rural communities was
found to be badly chosen, poorly
prepared. and given at unsuitable
hours.

The equipment, personnel, methods of
work, cost. and advantages and dis
advantages of the Special. 1t con-
|cludes that IAN impetus to perma-

promptly, more thoroughly, and eff
fectually by means of a motorized
