most valueless thing in the world is special
switches made for street railway track after
the lines have been abandoned. They cost a lot
OF money, and they end up in the junk yard
The rapid spread Of the use of the motor
BUSES in cities of all sizes indicates that the
bus is to be the street railway car" of the fu-
ture. 1t is easy to handle; it can be bought
more cheaply than street car can be operated
at about the same or little less cost, and it
does not demand vast sums invested in order
to provide the tracks on which it can run.
Modern paved cities are offering too good
track for the buses to have the hard-headed
and tight-fsted fnanciers who are looking for
dividends spend any considerable amount of
money laying tracks in streets.
The motor bus is slowly but surely removing
the demand for the interurban line which runs
between Racine and Kenosha, and possibly in
another year the through traffic to Milwaukee
will be largely over the motor bus routes. The
owners of the old street railway lines see these
things, and they are getting ready to meet
them The profits which have been taken away
from them by the operation of the motor buses
have been the call to these men to go into the
business themselves. The street lines with the
costly investment of steel rails, may not earn
their salt, but the buses can be counted on to
make up the deficit. Extension Of street ser
vice in Kenosha will naturally be expected along
the bus rather than along the car line, and the
call to the company should be Bring on the
busses." The bus offers chance for the own
ers oft to try out the proposed routes before
they commit themselves to permanent service
Certainly the officials of Kenosha will raise no
question to the Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company trying out buses on any of the
streets of the city. Many portions of the city
are now without adequate transportation facil-
tiles, and a score Of these buses would go
long way toward making up the deficiency
There should be bus line to serve the rapidly
increasing business in the east portion of the
city between Sheridan Road and the lake Some
provision should be made to have buses operate
to the extreme west end of Prairie avenue and
from there to Salem avenue over Grand View
avenue.
The North Shore line promises service from
the city south along the Sheridan Road, and
BUSES of two companies are operating for the
convenience of the people living on the North
Lake Shore road
One of the best Christmas presents that
could be provided for the people of Kenosha
would be an extension of bus service Possibly
a frank discussion of the needs of the city be-
tween the City Manager and the officials of the
company in charge of street transportation
would bring the working out of this problem
Certainly the thing is worth the trial

After all, the best Christmas present that is
to be found in Kenosha's stocking this year is
an intelligent and comprehensive plan for the
development of it's schools. The next best pres
ent will belth assurance that this plan will be
carried out with the minimum of delay, A real
school system Is the finest present ever planned
for the children Of any city.

MONEY.

German prices by the end of the
year will be at least 1000 times high
er than before the war.
If we had the same situation: A
suit of clothes that cost $25 before the
war would now be selling for $4,000.
And a house that used to rent for $40
would now bring the landlord $4,000

IF You ARE WELL BRED.

Tipping is un-American and much
to be deplored, but where it prevails
it is doubtful policy, even if not actual
,ly bad form, to defy the custom.
Walters, porters and others similar
ly employed generally have their pay
fixed at low figure in the expectation
that their incomes will be increased
by their tips, and it is hardly fair to
penalize them for system they them
selves may dislike.
+ But excessive tipping is vulgar: Ten
to IL per cent of the bill is the rule
for walters and usually it may be ac-
cepted as standard.

PEACE OFFICERS MEMBERS
Woolwine Finds Lists Including Names of 3 of His Own Staff and Scores of Police.

LOS ANGELES, April 2S. - N A. Baker, who confessed that he is the organizer here of the "ku Klux klan, |" or knights of the invisible empire, decided after he had experienced a session with District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine, that he would issue a signed written confession concerning all his activities in the work and the action of all "klans" in and about Los Angeles.
 The sensation growing out of the raids upon the "klans" by the Dis trict Attorneys officers is growing daily. The names of three prominent members of the District Attorneys s office staff were found in the official lists of the Ku Klux members, and the records also reveal that more than a hundred members of the police depart ment are enrolled as officers or mem bers of the masked organization.
 District Attorney Woolwine de- nonnces the Klan as "veritable Mafia," and proclaims his determine tion to stamp it out of existence in Southern California.
 MT. Woolwine, who was born and reared ill Tennessee, where the origi- nal Ku Klux Klan was organized just after the Confederate War, says he is thoroughly familiar with the "imita- tion" now being foisted upon the pub lie, and that every law-abiding and self-respecting citizen in the Southern States is absolutely opposed to the Klan, for the existence of which, he said, there is no shadow of reason or excuse except the proclivity of cow ardly and criminal minds" VI

ALL COME WITH RUSH AND TACKLE FLAMES

Harry Moore captain of the launch Fredelia was coming into port at 12:30 o'clock when he observed the flying sparks and evidences of fire in Mir Garnes' shop. He rushed ashore and notified Central, who promptly gave the alarm. Within five minutes the 7 firemen were out of bed, dressing in part as they sped to the rendezvous, and in less than ten minutes they had dashed down the muddy hill, which was full of snowbanks and chuckholes, with the two chemical sleds and two hose-carts, and led by Chief Harry Nettleton, were tearing their way with resistless energy through the rear door of the burning building. The dense smoke boiled out, almost stifling them. Every man knew there was peril of an explosion, but not man faltered. Chris Nicholson, captain of No. 1 hose cart, with Jim Hawthorne as nozzle man; Dave Phillips, captain of No. 2, Calvan Hazelet, captain of No. chemical, Charles Game with No. ?, with Chester Mellison, William Ellis and others assisting, had their fighting machines at the right spot in time deemed incredible by observers Louis Better, the hydrant guard, was instantly at his post, and the water pressure was 1O3 pounds. In few seconds they had stream playing upon the flames through the rear door,
 Realizing the necessity of quick ac- tion, if they were to get control Chief Nettleton and his men rushed to the side of the building, along two foot plank over the ten foot tide, smashed in the windows and struck the flames with another stream of water. Great clouds of smoke boiled forth, but the men stood to the work, without masks. Will power and good luck kept some from giving up.
 Lee and Hawthorne, rushing to danger spot, ran into powerful stream, but arose and resumed work.
