Kenosha Council Passes Resolution Asking
for Modification of the Volstead
Law Last Night.
POLICE CAR IS BONE OF CONTENTION
Discussion Over Proposed Purchase of New Automobile
for Police Brings All Sorts of Charges
ss and Excitement

The committee here also recommended
the purchase of a Nash car but imme-
dlately there arose a storm of opposi-
ton. The leader was Alderman Thorn
messen who pointed out all, sorts of
"niggers in the woodpile" in the trans
action, claiming among other things
that motor had all ready been or
dered before the council had acted on
the bids presented before it.
Chief Logan Explains.
Chief of Police Logan rose to ex-
plain the situation. He declared that
it was true that motor had been tag
ged at the Nash plant but this had
been done in order that car capable
of making eighty miles an hour might
be secured in the event that the coun-
ell voted to purchase Nash car He
declared no order had been placed.
Finally after liberal exchange of
compliments, by a. vote of eight to
seven, it was voted to purchase a
Paige Car Alderman Anderson re-
minded the council of the fact that
two thirds vote was necessary to make
an appropriation and Mayor Joachim
ruled that the motion was lost for
that reason.
Periodically throughout the meeting
some alderman would introduce mo-
ton for the purchase of some other
car but these also were lost and the
department will have to wait until an
other meeting to decide the question.
Extend Tax Paying Time.
The council by an unanimous vote ex-
tended the time for paying taxes on
property until the first of June; those,
who take advantage of this extension
must file affidavits to the effect that
illness or lack of employment has fore
ed them to require this extension of
time. The rate set by law will be
charged for extending this time.
A recommendation of the Health and
Sanitation committee to hire an addi-
tional school nurse was also adopted,
Alderman Wachs only dissenting. The
bill of $4,000 from the Isolation Hos
pital was also allowed.
Edward Dayton appeared before the
council in behalf of the Orpheum
Theatre Company asking that an
amendment of the sign ordinance be
made to provide for allowing the in
stallation of large signs where cano-
pies were beneath them. The council
ordered this to che committee with
instructions that an amendment to
this effect be drawn.

BOlsheviks Battle
i'm Northern Shows

Helsingfors, Finland.--Only the use
of rifles and machine guns distinguish
es the warfare now in progress be-
tween Bolshevik troops and Karelian
insurgents in the Arctic forests of Rus
sian Karelia from the primeval stalk
ing and hunting that the wild things
of the Northland have waged against
each other in this frozen land for
wages. (Karelia is a section of North
west Russia bordering on the White
Sea and extending into Southeastern
Finland).
The Karelians, hunters, fishermen
and trappers from childhood, know the
forest trails as we'll as the wolves, who
here outnumber the humans. Fur-clad
like Eskimos, wearing snowshoes or
skis, they dash through the frozen
land and in the long Arctic nights
pounce upon their similarly clad Boil
shevik foes.
Reports of this guerilla warfare
which have recently reached Helsing-
fors indicate that in many instances
mo quarter" has been the rule on
both sides.
The insurgents accuse the Bolsheviki
who in this case are also Karelians,
but Red Army men-of stripping their
prisoners naked and dropping them
alive, through holes chopped in the
ice of the lakes which dot the forests.
They freeze to death even before they
drown, for some days the cold has
been so intense that to expose a bare
hand to the frigid air meant frozen
hand in a few minGtes. The Bolshe-
wiki present similar charges against
the insurgents.
The Karelian revolt began late in
October but the Russian Soviets did
not begin active operations against the
Karelians until the latter part of De-
cembeI
The territory actually occupied by
the insurgents consists only of about
10000 square miles of sparsely settled
forest wilderness, with total popula-
ton only of about 10000 persons. Raid
ing bands, however, have dashed on
snowshoes hundreds of miles from the
occupied territory to the Murmansk
railway, which runs from Murmansk to
Petrograd and have blown up several
bridges, thus preventing movement of
Bolshevik reinforcements.
! When these bridges are repaired, the
Bolshevik contend it will be simple,
though, long task to quash the revolt.
The absolute lack of railroads and
scarcity of useable highways will pre-
vent movement of any large body of
troops into the forests, in which most
of the insurgents are as much at home
as the foxes and wolves.

Cave Women Live
in South Seas
Captain E. A. Salisbury Tells of Print
tive Cave Women Who Miss
Best in Life.
(By Jack Jungmeyer)


Los Angeles.-After you've read all
about the fight for an "equal rights for
women" amendment to the federal con-
stitution, and about American women
serving on juries, as mayors, judges
and members of congress-stop min
ute and read about the lot of the
Melanesian women, who live on some
OF the islands in the South Pacific.
They have fewer rights than any wom-
en- on earth. They're lowest of all
races in the social scale. They're real
ly primitive cave women who haven't
advanced q. step since humanity was
in its cradle
Capt. Edward A. Salisbury, just back
here from cruise of the South Pacific
where he took motion pictures of the
cave women" tells all about them.
These people, Salisbury says, don't
know what love means, as we under
stand it. There's no connubial affec-
ton. Girls are never kissed or per-
sonally courted
Marriage is nothing but "a jungle
bargain-counter trade, and the most
desirable woman is worth less than a
pig!
Widows are put to death, or on rare
occasions, allowed to live as outcasts,
forbidden to battle, comb their hair or
look at a man.
Men believe they lower themselves
by showing any regard for woman.
Boys, when seven, are removed from
the influence Of female relatives.
Women do all the manual lab@, and
wife may be cast aside at the within
of her husband. .
The women of Samoa and other is
lands where the position of women is
higher, are more beautiful and less
savage than the Melanesians, Salisbury
says, but he adds: "But they bloom at
IL and fade at 25."
Salisbury says "The American youth,
fed up on the exotic literature Of the
Pacific isles, would best confide his ad-
ventures to the pages of romance and
his devotions to the hometown fapper,
If he would retain his illusions"

brick, concrete and asphalt roads were
