GRACE KERNS SCORES

In the course Of q recent irter-

cianly American soprano whose ar
tistic work and voice is well known,
the rush Of newcomers in various
branches Of music, particularly the
recital field, was one Of the topics
Of conversation.

crop OF recitalists that spring up
over night, give q New York re-

RED CROSS SHIPS
ARRIVE IN JAPAN
Conveys With Cargoes of
Food Arrive at Toxic
Plan Hospital.
QUOTA is EXCEEDED

Kenosha's relief funds for Japan,
made possible by the Community
Chest, helped to swell the grand total
of funds raised to $10,241, 400, or more
than double the amount of the orig
inal appeal.
Despite q severe typhoon, which
added greatly to the sutferings of the
homeless people in the earthquake
zone, the arrival and distribution of
American Red Cross relief supplies
in Japan continues undated.
Ambassador Woods at Tokyo on
September 20, notified national head
quarters by cable of the arrival at
the scene Of disaster of the first
American. Red Cross relief ships from
this country. He stated that the car
goes reached Kobe just in time to be
of great assistance in succoring
refugees whose sufferings had been
intensified by the typhoon reported
by Mr.. Woods yesterday.
Much Needed CargOes Arrive.
The Tyndareus carried 200 tons of
flour, 80 tons of condensed milk, 10
tons of canned salmon, tons of
bareback, tons of indictments, and
100 tarpaulins.
The President Jackson's cargo COM
prised 100 tons of -four and 5000 cases
of evaporated milk.
Mr.. Woods also reported the arrival
of S. S. Somme with cargo of United
States army and medical supplies.
Greatly augmented cargoes of Red
Cross supplies will begin to arrive in
Japan shortly. Many vessels contain
ing these cargoes are now at sea con-
verging on the principal ports in the
disaster zone. One of the first of the
big cargoes to arrive was that car
ried on the Vega, which locked at a
japanese port on Tuesday. The Vega
carried 5000 tons of American Red
Cross relief supplies.
Ambassador Woods reported that
the typhoon which struck in the dis
aster zone on September 26, blew down
part of the army hospital in Yokohama
and many of the temporary shelters
in which most Of the population Of
Yokohama and Tokyo are living.
Doctors sent to the scene of disas-
ter by the Philippine chapter of the
American Red Cross will start opera
ton of a hospital that soldiers are
now erecting in the palace grounds of
Prince Tatamatsu, at the earnest re-
quest of the foreign Office.
The first detailed account of how
the Japanese Red Cross went into
action when disaster visited Japan as
the result of the earthquake, fire and
flood, was received by national head
quarters this week. The cablegram
was as follows:
1.-THE japanese Red Cross is consti-
tuted as a private corporation sup
ported partly by membership and
largely by endowment and annual
donation of the Empress. In time of
war or disaster it becomes an adjunct
of the army and navy, modelling It's
reserves of doctors and nurses, at
points needed and functioning under
military direction It's activities are
confined to hospitals and dispensaries
caring for disaster refugees"

KEN0SHA SECOND
in TOURIST COUNT
City Has Second Largest
Number of Tourists on
Day of Count.
VALUE TO TRADE BIG

The results of statewide count of
foreign cars within the confines of
Wisconsin on a certain day, made I'M
der direction of the state highway
commission on August 3, reveals that
the number of outside cars was 46,743,
which is interpreted to mean that
more than 100000 cars from other
states invade Wisconsin during the
summer touring season.
1t is believed to be the first time
any state ever made check stimuli
taneously in all sections of the CONF
monwealth to determine this fact. In
so doing the highway commission en-
listed the cooperation of garages and,
service stations, sheriffs, police de-
partments, hotels and other agencies
in close touch with the situation.
Weekend Trips.
Milwaukee naturally reported the
largest number of tourists, with q
count of 1924 cars; Kenosha was Sec
ond, with 2,383, and Madison, state
capital was third with 1913. While
the northern counties, containing the
lake and forest region, showed large
numbers of foreign cars, the southern
districts predominated in the totals
which led highway officials to con-
clude that most of the, tourists vera
taking short weekend trips into Wis
consin rather than extensive tours.
The southeastern section Of The states
contiguous to the Chicago district,
showed the largest number of foreigni
cars on the day the check was made.
Highway officials estimate that the
46,743 out of state cars mean an ex~,
penditure of at least 100000 in Wis.,
consin by the tourists daily
Value to Trade Big.
The value of tourist travel to tho
automotive trade is found to be very
high. Taking Amigo, in Langlade
county, gateway to the extreme north
ern resort region as a typical exam
Pile, it is found that one garage attri-
buted 30 per cent of its summer bust
ness to tourist patronage another 25
per cent, with a good mail order bust
ness in parts. One garage averaged
twenty-five foreign cars a night for
the period from June to September 1.
Another reported little storage BUSH
ness on this account, but 40 per cent
of his gasoline and oil business camea
from tourists. A filling station esti-
mates half of its business as COM
ing from tourists. More local carsl
call, but tourists usually buy larger
quantities.
A tire dealer said 95 per cent OF
his sales were to tourists, Another5
reported that 20 per cent of salesg
and 35 per cent of repair work wasl

proportion ranged up to SIS and 90s
per cent.

1000 Bumps an Hour
Tests Electric Lamps

The ruggedness of modern electric
lamp bulbs is demonstrated by means
of an electrical device built to sub
ject certain types of lamps to an
ordeal more severe than any met in
ordinary usage. A bulb on the end
of an extension cord, enclosed in a
wire guard, is so placed that it will
drag upon a circular revolving table.
On the table are various bumps and
projections. The table revolves at the
rate of about two thousand bumps an
hour, while the captive lamp bounces
about like a broncho buster.
In another test an electric lamp
is attached to the end of an extern
sion arm, while the arm is made to
vibrate rapidly
These tests were devised to measure
the endurance of lamps designed
for service in mills, factories and
subways, where the vibrations are
often acute.
