ton With Wisconsin State Board
of Control.
by Associated Press Leased Wire

10y Associated ETeSS Leased Wlre.J t
Madison, Wis. - DR.. Maybelle Park,
director of the Juvenile department of
the state board of control, resigned to-
day. Accompanying her resignation
was letter to the board of control
scoring the policy of that board.
An attempt was made by the board
in a rider attached to bill in the
last session of the Legislature to re-
move the office of DR.. Park from serv-
ice. Charge was made on the floor at
that time that the desire was to open
up the civil service in order to per-
nit easy removal of employees and the
bill met death in the senate.
DR.. Park says in her letter that Mrs.
Elizabeth Kading, chairman of the
board has refused to grant her an
audience to discuss her work, and that
continued obsticales have been thrown
in her way.
"In view of these facts l cannot
continue impotently to share the bur
den of your responsibility when the
cry of these neglected children is fin
ally heard by the voters of the state, -
DR.. Park wrote. with such hamper
ing conditions as imposed by the board
nothing constructive can be accom-
plished."

days ago when there were reports
that Kenosha BARRIERS were consider
ing boosting the price of a haircut to
seventy-five cents. The BARRIERS had a
picnic Tuesday; they talked over the
situation informally and decided that
it would be inadvisable to raise the
price.
There was no formal movement on
foot here to raise the price," said j. j.
Willems, secretary-tr and bust
ness agent of the BARRIERS. "The re-
ports caused no end of barber shop
conversation and we feel that this

the Kenosha barbar trade that no in

is actually anticipated, such step
will not be taken without giving ade-
quate announcement of the raise"

Back in March Louis had store at
the corner of North Sheridan road and
Ounce street. He had gone into the
little store in the hope of making it
grow into big store. Nightly, as he
read the totals on the cash register
they gradually became smaller. Other
stores grew, why shouldn't his, for
his good were good and his prices right
Then he looked more deeply into the
matter and discovered advertising.
The principal of advertising was to
attract attention and draw the public
interest to ones wares. The big stores
he found, did it through newspapers.
But Louis decided that this method
was too common. He thought of hiring
a sky writer with tank of. smoke and
