KENOSHAN NOW
ON LAST CRUISE
Ensign F. w. Mielke, U. S.
N, Soon to Retire from
Active Service.
HAD LONG SERVICE
Kenosha Ensign Spent Sixteen
Years on High Seas Serving
in Several Engagements.

After sixteen years of sailing on the
high seas aboard United States man
O. war, Ensign F. w. Mielke, of Keno
sha, is now on his last cruise. He has
sent word to his wife, Mrs. F. w. Mel
Ike and to his three daughters, Ethel,
Helen and Bernice, that his applica-
ton for retirement has been granted
and that he will be honorably retired
from active service at the end of his
present cruise. He expects to be in
Kenosha at Christmas time to be COM
pletely out of the service by the mid
die of February with the exception
of the fact that he will for several
years remain as member Of the
naval reserve.
His last cruise started on September
30th when he left New York aboard
the U. S. s. Henderson, large trans
port, to go to the Pacific coast. He is
now at San Francisco en- route to
Puget Sound, from which he will re
turn to the eastern waters by the
Panama route to end up his twenty
years of service.
|
Ensign Mielke enlisted in the ranks
twenty years ago and has climbed his
way to the rank of an ensign. In the
! European war days he was named in
| structor and was forced to remain at
the Great Lakes Training camp to drill
recruits. While there he instructed
many Kenoshan jackies who Joined
the colors and were trained at this
naval station.
Oftentimes he has followed the flag
into dangerous waters. At the time
of the brush with Mexica, he was
aboard one of the United States ships
which was sent to Vera Cruz in the
heart of the battle zone. He narrowly
escaped death few years later when
he was aboard the U. S. S. missouri"
at the time that an explosion occurred
on its deck.
Hero of Memphis Wreck.
In 1916 he sailed on the Inflated U.
S. S. Memphis" on that famous cruise
when it was thrown against a fifty
foot coral reef off of the coast of San
| Domingo. Ensign Mielke at that time
distinguished himself for gallantry,
aiding many of his shipmates to reach
land safely. Months afterwards he
was cited for heroism by the United
States government because of his work
here The Memphis still remains
wreck on the coral reel in caribbean
waters.
Ensign Mielke illustrates what a
liberal education can be secured by
following the mast under the lead Of
Uncle Sam. During his service he has
four times circled the globe and has
seen nearly every ruler of the count
ries of the world. He has won many
medals for sharp shooting and on his
ships for many years he held the rec
ord of being the best gun pointer
Of the crew.
Ensign Mielke has written that he
| intends to retire and come to Keno
sha to his home at 352 Gable street.
He intimates, however, that he may
get the navy fever again after well
earned rest of several months, or even
years, at his home here.

CORPORATION TAX
GETS BIG BOOST
Increase of Nearly $500, 900
in Tax Against Keno
shap Corporations.
SECOND In THE STATE
Total of Income Taxes to Be
Paid in County Will Be Close
to Million Dollar Mark.
SECOND IN THE STATE

Corporation income taxes assessed
against corporations of Kenosha county
for incomes earned in 1920 are nearly
.vious, according to messages which the
News received from Madison today and
Kenosha corporations will pay the state
pretty close to 100000 in income taxes
this year. This amount includes the
new surtax for the support of the
teachers retirement fund and Kenosha
county will pay towards this fund an
amount in excess of $4,000. The to-
tai income tax to be paid by the cor
porations of the county is $623,661.79
as compared with a corporation tax of
$493 ,039.40 collected for incomes earned
in 1919. This will mean very large
amount of increase for the city in in
come taxes from the corporations as
the city will receive 70To of the tax
collected. Nearly all of the corpora
ton taxes assessed for Kenosha county
are for corporations within the limit
of the city of Kenosha, the total of the
tax to be collected outside the city
amounting to less than $4,000. It is
estimated that with the deductions
granted for the payment of personal
property taxes the city council should
receive as it's share of this tax an
amount in excess of 100000 and the
amount to be payable to the county
will be close to- 100000.
County Pays Large Percent.
AS in other years, Kenosha county
will pay large percentage of the cor
poration income tax assessed for the
state. While there are II counties in
the state, Kenosha county will pay a
little over one-twelfth of the income
tax on corporations. It's proportion of
the tax is second only to that to be
paid by Milwaukee county. The total
corporation tax assessed for the state
this year is $7,420,824.11 as compared
with $6,939 ,630.11 assessed in the form
er year. Practically all of the tax is
paid by dozen of the counties of the
state, many counties having an assess
ment of only few thousand dollars
1t is expected that the tax paid by two
corporations in Kenosha will be greater
than that paid by 40 of the other coun-
ties of the state.
Sur Taxes Take Big Toll.
Kenosha county corporations must
pay $8S, 740.42 for the educational bo-
nus Of the soldiers. This is the last

YOUR TEE rH
Tho Human Jaws.

(By Rea Proctor MCGEE, d. ID. s.,
NJ. d., Editor "Oral Hygiene")
Every bone in the body Is fash
toned to stand the particular strain
that comes to its own zone.
The shape and strength and blood
supply of each bone is just right for
that bone, just as a well balanced
piece of machinery must have every
part fitted to do its work and must
have every part strong enough to
last without too much weight or
bulk.
The bones of the jaw have as a
protection from the pressure of
chewing only a very thin membrane
composed of periosteum and muco-
sa which we call the muco-perios-
teum.
The teeth are set in sockets, prop
erly called a~lveoli, which are simply
holes in the bone that fit the roots
Of the teeth.
There is a membrane that lines
the socket and at the same time COW
ers the tooth root. This Is a double
faced membrane which protects and
nourishes both the bony surface and
the surface of the tooth root. The
jaws have transmitted to them the
pressure that is made upon the teeth
in chewing and the only thing that
acts as a shock absorber is this one
little thin membrane that lines the
socket, as much as two hundred and
fifty pounds pressure to the square
inch is frequently exerted upon the
teeth. When ever a tooth is lost the
work that the other teeth do is in
creased so that the pressure of chew
ing Is no longer distributed over the
whole jaw, but 10 confined to those
spots where the teeth remain.
Is it any wonder that the bones OF
the jaw sometimes become so irri-
tated from over-work and so in
famed from abscessed teeth that
considerable portions Of the bone it.
self may be lost?
II the teeth are kept in a state of
health the bones of the jaw will US
ually remain strong and vigorous as

SEEKING NEW FAvORS
By RUTH AGNES ABELING

The workroom was so festive In
rolls Of yellow crepe paper that !
had to stop and peer in.
1t was to be a surprise, they whis-
pered-a surprise shower for a lit
tie girl who lived on the next floor
and was going to be married next
month.
OF course they had wanted to do
something origina, and different and
then m of the girls evolved the idea
while she was looking at the little
doll contrivances the shops are
showing for telephones and the like.
SO she came back to the house
loaded with yellow crepe paper and
carrying a mysterious package.
When she opened the package as
many little celluloid dolls as there
were to be girls at the luncheon were
found. Then the crepe paper was
cut in strips about six inches wide
and IS inches long. A narrow ruffle
was put at n edge of each. While
this was being done by half of the
girls, the other half were busy max
ing "shoulde3 straps"
They took the paper crosswise OF
the crinkle and folded it three times
so that they had a strip about a
quarter of an inch wide. One of these
then were put owe each shoulder OF
each doll and a touch of glue from
the tube pasted them tightly at the
little lady's waist line. A single FIAT
piece of paper was put around the
doll for a bodice and touches of glue
held it together at the back.
Then the little skirts which had
been gathered so they were quite full
were put on and held in the right
place with more giue. A bow was
made witt two strcamers and one
piece just long enough to go around
the dolls waist.
The bow w., made with the aid of
needle and thread but held in place
with paste which was so daintily
used that the method by which the
fanoiful frock was held OF was not
visible.
The skirts then were pulled out at
the middle all the way around. They
extended about an inch or perhaps
two inches longer than the feet OF
their wearer. Their stiffness held
her quite of her feet.
They were charming and unique
favors and were to be the sole deco
ration of the table with the exception
of a few yellow flowers in a fiat
bowl in the center.
