EASING THE CURVES

County road officials are to put
through two projects making for safe
ty on highways near the city. One is
the elimination of the as" curve in
the Green Bay road at the Kuene mill.
County Engineer Whitney drafted
plans for a relocation of the road there
and the requirement of only about
three-tenths of an acre of land is nee
essary to make the improvement.
Mr.. Connell is determined also that
the death turn" at Eberhardt's on the
Calumet road shall be made wider and
less abrupt. This, however, will have
to await action by the county board at
its next session as the officers could
not agree with the owner on the value
of the land that would be taken at the
turn.

BIG INCREASE IN ASSESSMENT

The city board of review met Mon
day and Assessor Goetzler turned over
the 1922 assessment. There is an in
crease in city valuations of approx
mately S7,OOO,OOO Last years assess
ment was near $24,0O0,OO0 and the fig
ures this year are reported to total be-
tween $50, 100000 and $3l, 100000 and
nearer to the latter sum. The increase
is mainly on improvements.
In spite of the increase, Mr.. Goetzler
is reported as saying that based on
sales recorded the assessment is still
only about 20 per cent of the full mar
ket value that the law calls for,
The increase will give an additional
lee-way of S35O,OOO for city bonds
which will be soon used if recent pre-
cedentS are followed.

AOLSTElN BREEDERS PICNIC

The annual picnic of the County Hol-
stein Breeders association was held at
the Charles Hampke farm Sunday.
There was a large attendance, said to
he over $500. The big event was a
speech by Atty Gen. Morgan, candi-
date of the conservative republicans
against Governor Blaine for the Re
publican nomination for governor. He
said that he had not yet prepared his
formal keynote but would talk poll
ties impromptu if the audience wanted
him to do so. They voted for politics
SO he gave it to them, Among other
things he spoke for enforcement of all
laws and said that the beer and wine
question was not in state politics as the
state can do nothing toward liberaliz-
ing the prohibition laws. He also gave
his ideas as to how economy can be eff
fected in the state expenditures.
Secretary of the State Holstein Asso-
citation Oldham gave a talk on his fay-
orite topic, black and white cattle.
Leon Robinson of the Wisconsin
Agriculturalst, talked on Business
Methods on Farms.
Mr.. Hampke gave a short talk, vel
coming everyone.
There were said to be nearly 1000
automobiles parked at the place The
picnic was the biggest success of the
associations history.

SUCCESSFUL MUSICALE

The pupils of Mrs. Marion Zlatnik-
Zechel assisted by Miss Eunice Bar
bara Waugh, pianist, of Wauwautosa,
gave a musicale last week at the home
of Mrs. c. NJ. Gleason, ga North
Eighth street The affair was an event
in musical circles and surpassed the
high expectations that had been raised.
Miss Waugh justified her reputation
as an artist on the piano-forte which
had preceded her. She confined herself
entirely to modern music.
A pleasing number was the singing
of "Smiin Through" by Miss Ida
Witt, dressed in appropriate period
costume. Others whose assistance add
ed to the success were Miss Dorothy
Tuesburg, Miss Catherine Kumbalek
Miss Selma Peterson, Miss Emma Sand

rect, and it seems well founded, it must
follow that the one essential to the
formation of the giant cumulus cloud,
namely the rapid uprush of moist air,
Is also the one essential to the genera
tion of the electricity of thunder
storms. This is the reason that light
ming seldom occurs except in connec-
ton with a cumulus cloud 1t is simply
because the electrifying process of
splashing is vigorously active in this
cloud and nearly absent in all others.

The coil antenna gives the strongest

EDUCATIONAL

| America has wonderful public
school system, and the teachers deserv,
great credit for their efforts in training
American children, for they are a very
Independent race.
Our present courses do not, however
include teaching of any definite code
of ethics or, code of morals, if you
please, and it is a serious shortcoming.
There is no country in the world where
children are so free from religious in
fluences as here, but neither is there
any other country where they receive
so little definite instruction in how to
behave as they do here.
The Ten Commandments would
serve as a mighty good code of morals
and while il is true that these com
mandments are found in the Bible, it
cannot be said that they refer to any
particular religion or creed. They are
a sound basis for conduct and are well
worth teaching our young Americans.
If this code is not satisfactory then
let us formulate another code which we
all can accept as fit to teach our child
rem and let us incorporate that in the
regular public school instruction.
We can afford to devote a definite
period in the regular curriculum to
giving them instruction in truthfulness
and honesty, as well as other details of
the moral code. We cannot too strongly
impress upon the growing minds the
adherence of lying and stealing. AS
it is we only refer to these things when
special eases come up.
1t is fact that children pay more
attention to instruction given them in
the school than they do to what their
parents tell them. OF course our teach
ers everywhere do teach them some
ethics, but only through their personal
conduct and an occasional lecture.
If we taught grammar or arithmetic
in that manner very few of our child
rem would learn much about these
branches, and since we acknowledge
this fact by teaching them diligently i'll
seems logical to do the same with re-
spect to morals and ethics
We all acknowledge the necessity
for thorough training in any of the diff
ferent studies such as mathematics,
language, etc, in fact we know that
unless our children attend school regu-
larly covering all grades and the high
school, they will not be equipped to
take good care of themselves. If this
is true concerning such things, is it not
equally true concerning morals and
does it not indicate the necessity for
more definite training in code of
morals?
There is plenty of evidence every
where that we feel the need for teach
ing our youth definitely along moral
lines and this is shown by the fostering
of such movements as the Boy Scouts,
Sea Scouts, Girl Reserves, Camp Fire
Girls and other similar organizations,
which all have for their purpose teach
ing boys and girls good morals
This is an important matter and
merits the consideration of every good
citizen, for when this is made part
of our regular public school instruction
our youth will he better prepared to
become good citizens and a smaller
percentage will go wrong The Slug.

Now that the "radio craze" has
swept the country, many persons with
receiving sets are bothered by the mys-
terious something that the radio ex-
perts call "static." just what this at
mospheric electricity is and how it is
related to the electricity in thunder
storms, are discussed by Eric X. Miller,
meteorologist, u. S. Weather Bureau,
Madison, in an interview for Wisconsin
newspapers Mr., Miller's station is in
one Of the University of Wisconsin
buildings.
"The average man is unaware that
there is such thing as atmospheric
electricity, except when it thunders.
The work of Abe radio operator is in
terfered with continually by sounds of
swapping, cracking, and grinding in his
head-phones These signal the arrival
of stray waves from more or less dis
tant thunderstorms.
"The generation of electricity in
thunderstorms has been explained by
&. c. Simpson Of the Weather bureau
of India. He found by experiment that
when drops of water fall through a
vertical blast Of air that the breaking
of the drops into spray is accompanied
by the production of positive and mega
tive electricity, and that the drops are
left with a positive charge
"a strong upward current Of air is
one of the most conspicuous features
Of the thunderstorm It is always evil
dent in the turbulent cauliflower-shap-
ed heads Of the cumulus cloud from
which thunderstorms grow Besides,
strong upward currents are necessary
for the formation Of hail, which so
often accompanies thunderstorms,

ing hail must be carried repeatedly to

tudes In the turmoil of thunder.

through the cycle of union, division, OF
