Geneva Road Will be
Full Pledged Highway
Workers Commence Job of Widening
Narrow Strip of Concrete to
an 18-FoOt Width.

Widening of the Geneva road from
its ,,present width of nine feet to a
s'fuil-fedged'' highway of 10 feet has
begun. Workmen are busy today on
the two-mile stretch and are expected
to finish the task within a few weeks.
Three miles of concrete on the same
highway, which is~now Is feet wide,
will be broadened to the standard IS
feet dimension just as soon as the
narrower road is completed.
In the past half dozen years there
has been keen discussion among Ke-
nosha's taxpayers as regards the
feasibility of the building of the nine
foot concrete road several years ago,
has been occupying considerable in
terest. Many of the taxpayers are of
the o@nion that the paving OF the
Geneva road some years ago was fool
hardy while there are an equal amount
of defenders of the road.
County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog is one of the defenders. 1.-THE
nine-foot road has more than paid for
itself in its several years of USE" he
says. "The cost of adding another
nine feet onto this highway is little
more Ian half the amount necessary
to the building of an eighteen foot
concrete road"
Brennan and Bounsall, contractors
in charge of construction of the Salem
road, have begun work grading and
constructing culverts. Later two
miles of it will be laid in concrete, ac-
cording to Mr.. Herzog.

Five Amendments
Have Been Passed
Five Out of Nineteen Proposed Amend
ments to State Constitution Have
Been Passed by Legislature.
by Associated Press.l

Madison, Wis. The Wisconsin
constitution has been bombarded with
attempted amendments during the
present session of the legislature, with
the result that out of 10 resolutions
providing change in the states basic
law, five have been adopted by both
houses, swhile nine have been killed
and FIVE are still pending.
TWO efforts to amend the constitu-
ton in order to call constitutional
convention to change the entire basic
structure of the Wisconsin govern
ment, were killed by the senate by a
narrow margin. One of these efforts
was successful in the assembly.
Due to favorable action in both
houses, a proposed amendment pro-
viding home rule for all cities and
villages in the state, will be submitted
to the people at the next general cleo
tion, as well as proposed amend
ment increasing the pay of legislators
to $1,000. A third proposed amend
ment permitting an increase in the
salary of the governor has been
through both houses and will be voted
on by the people,
For the first time in decade, res
olution calling for a constitutional
amendment to permit the use of ini-
tiative and referendum has managed
to get through both houses. A pro-
posal for recall of all elective officers
was likewise favorably acted upon by
both houses.

Has New Form
for Eugenics Bill
Suggests That Oath Taken by Pros
pective Brides and Bridegrooms
Should Replace Examination.
(By Associated Press. ,


Madison, visa new type of eu-
genics law, which would do away with
the necessity of ante-nuptial physical
examinations, is to be proposed by
Senator John Schumann, WATERFOWL,
he announces. Senator Schumann said
that he intends to ask for re-
consideration of the vote by which the
senate killed the Spoor bill repeating
the existing eugenics statute, that has
been in force since 1913
Under his proposed law, both the
prospective groom and the prospective
bride would be required to sign a
statement under oath, before issuance
of marriage license, that they were
free from venereal diseases.
Should it prove after marriage that
either had misrepresented, that fact
could be used as evidence in obtaining
divorce, should the proposed Schu-
mann bill become statute
"This plan should prove acceptable
to all of those interested in eugenics
legislation" Senator Schumann said
st gives no basis for religious objec-
ton and would prove fully as effective
as the present method Of examination.
The moral effect would deter persons
affected with these Objectionable dis
eases from being married"

Deny license to
Real Estate Broker

Madison, Wis.-The Wisconsin Real
Estate Brokers Board was denied a
license to John J. Black of Chippewa
Falls because of alleged advertising
methods employed by Mr.. Black.
According to a statement issued by
the board, "the denial is of interest
because it involves the question of re-
suits obtained in claimed nationwide
business through the medium of So
called real estate bulletins. Mr.. Black,
is the publisher Of Black Buyers and
Traders Bulletin and the board denied
the license believing that the record
showed that the advertising and meth
DDS used in an advertising business
of this character are not of the value
represented to the public"
The board also denied the applica-
ton of Louis Kraft Of Forestville and
Mrs. Christene Bornhoft of Chicago.

Free Text Books
Again Under Fire
Question Of Establishing Free Text
Books in Schools Causes Heated
Committee Meeting.
by Associated Preall

Madison, Wis.-The question of free
text books for public schools, which
has been a bone Of contention in prac-
tically every Legislature for the last
twenty years, was again threshed out
at a JOINT hearing of the education
committee yesterday.
Assemblyman E. H. Johnson, of Bur-
nett county, author of the free text
book bill now pending, urged pas
sage Of the bill because of the relief
it would bring to poor families who
have large number of children to
educate, while the Rev James Operle
Of Milwaukee, representing the Cath
Ollie Social Union, expressed opposi-
tion because it would work a hard
ship on members of his church.
eve make school attendance in Wis
consin compulsory; then force the par
ents of children to buy text books,
frequently when they can i'll afford to
! do So" Mr.. Johnson said. "This is
manifestly unfair. We should more
evenly distribute the burden of edu-
eating the future generations. Peo-
pie who have no children should be
made to pay their share of educating
the children of their neighbors.
"The churches have no right to OPP
pose such a bill. They are enjoying
all Of the advantages of free govern
ment and free worship. They should
be willing to contribute to the support
of our schools"
The Rev. Father Operle declared that
in the eyes of his church secular and
religious education went hand in hand
and could not be divorced.

MO0NSHINE HAS
A DEADLY KICK
State Prohibition Agents
Sound Warning Against
Drinking Moon.
GIVES THE REASONS
By Herbert Little.

united Press Stan Correspondent.
Madison, VISA solemn, scientific
warning to all consumers of moonshinc
that the Illicit whiskey they drink is
impure and dangerous" at best, was
issued today by H. M. Lampert, chemist
for the state prohibition department
Gust try a small amount of moon.
sEine on a vanished surface, note the
result and then use your imagination
as to what it will do to the Innings OF
your stomach," Lampert invited. "The
most practical distiller cannot make
drinkable whiskey in small amounts
1t is impossible" he said.
Lampert outlined the processes and
conditions of making "good bonded
whiskey" and then detailed the pro
cesses of making moonshine, as he
learned them from accompanying state
dry agents on raids.
May Find Mash Anywhere.
Generally the law-breaker has the
mash hidden, but it is practically i'm
possible to keep the characteristic odor
of fermenting mash under cover It is
necessary to have the mash warm be-
fore it will work That is one reason
it is easily found. There have been
innumerable instances where mash has
been found buried in the ground, I'M
der manure, in pig-stys, dug-outs, and
in equally dirty, filthy and unsanitary
surroundings. Such conditions are
especially favorable to wild fermenta-
ton, leading to the formation of or
ganic acids, acetone and butyl alcohol
known to be deadly poisOns. .yay9
Stills Are All Dirty.
After completion of the fermenta-
ton, the mash is transferred to the
still, practically all of which are dirty
and unsanitary. Some are built-in and
are never removed or cleaned. On
completing one distillation, they arc
allowed to stand until the next batch
is ready. Naturally some of this re-
sidue dries in the still, subsequently to
be loosened and mixed with additional
mash. No care is taken to regulate the
temperature, when fermenting and dis
tilling, and quite naturally the by
products and everything fermented and
volatile comes over into the distillate,
mixing with the alcohol and water, the
main constituents Of whiskey.
AT high temperatures, the acid in
the mash acts on the copper of the
still, forming verdigris, which is suba-
cetate of copper and which is very
poisonous. A distillery operating I'M
der United States supervision separates
the distillate into three runs, that is,
the foreshots, the middlings and the
final shots. The government distiller
uses only the middlings, the rest being
discarded IS unfit for beverage purpo-
ses. The private distiller, however,
uses all the distillate, anything. to get
kick in the final product"
