Lad Who Comes From Wau-

| case of lost memory, two drinks
of "near" beer, and a broken plate

at $200-these are the tangled threads
of mystery which confronted the
police this morning
I Connie Carol, age 10, telegraph

of intoxication He is the possessor

lead plate glass window in the home

Gets Potent Beer.
The police have started an inves-
! tigation to determine, where in Ke-
nosha, a person can obtain "near"
beer which bears such close rela-
tionship to the real stuff that a
person can suffer lapse of memory
after having imbibed but two drinks.
Carol, when questioned by the
police today, said that he came to
Kenosha from Waukegan yesterday
afternoon and dropped into a saloon
where he purchased two beers. From
the time he took the last swallow
of the foamy beverage until he
awoke in a cell, his mind was an
absolute blank, he said.
He stated that when he regained
consciousness and discovered himself
Gagged in by the bars, his first sensa-
ton was one of bewilderment as to
how he got there. He claims to re-
member nothing of his battle with the
| Goltrys or the night Waterman.
| Awakened by Disturbance.
Mr.. Goltry told the police that he
and his wife were awakened early
this morning by some one leaping
about on their front porch and shout
| ing defiance at the sleeping world in
general. He said that he went out
and demonstrated with the lad, who
paid no attention to him but contin-
ued to skip about and shout.
! Leaving his wife on guard he went
to the next corner where he found
police officer to whom he explained
the situation. The officer sympathized
with him but told him that he could
not make an arrest because to do so
would force him to leave his beat.

brick and thrown it through a front

Carol is Arrested.
| Over where the new court house is
being built, Mr.. Goltry located a
night Waterman who thought the cir
cumstances warranted his leaving his
cheat" long enough to take the boy
| into custody. He was taken to police
headquarters after battle with the
Waterman and booked for intoxication.
| Carol told the police that he was
willing to make good the window, but
that he did not have 5000. He will
be arraigned later.
| The Goltry home, which is owned
by Theodore Jacobs, was recently
moved to the Congress street address
from the new court house site.

Protests Against
Street Lighting

Brilliant street lighting is so char
acteristic of all Of our large American
cities that we have not been surprised
at our cousins across the water emulat-
ing our example. Recently there has
been a decided move for brighter
London"
This, of course, does not surprise
US in the least. What is amazing,
however, is the fact that not so very
long ago the adoption of street lights
was very much opposed, as is any and
every new movement at its inception.
If our editorial memory serves as
correctly, so learned a medium as the
Royal Arcanum Bulletin set forth at
length a number of good and sufficient
reasons why streets should not be
lighted at night. Among others were
the following which today have dis
tinctly humorous aspect:
1. A theological objection. Arti-
fetal illumination is an attempt to in
terfere with the divine plan of the
world, which has preordained that it
should be dark during the night time.
2. A medical objection. Emana-
tions Of Illuminating gas are injurious.
Lighted streets will incline people to
remain late out of doors, thus lead
ing to increase of ailments by colds.
8. A moral objection. The fear of
darkness will vanish and drunkenness
and depravity increase.
4. Objections from people. If
streets are illuminated every night
such constant illumination will rob
festive occasions of their charm.
When persons in all walks of life
could raise objections such as these
to the matter of lighting city streets
it is small wonder that the telephone,
the aeroplane, the motor car, the dish
washer and all the other modern
improvements have had their detrac-
tors as we'll.

NEW HUP MODEL
MANY CHANGES
Many improvements Found
in the New HupmObile
Models just Ost
EFFICIENCY : COMFORT

The new Hupmobile recently an
announced, calls to mind that each
new Hup model has contained many
improvements and refnements over
each previous one and is the result
of fifteen yeras of exclusive concentra-
ton by Hupp engineers on the four
cylinder principle in quality manu-
facture. t.5ae
The newest Hupmobile is only the
sixth model Hup has built in fifteen
years of its history, the others being
known as the 49," 1872" "K," an" and
ar" Oficials of the corporation do
not consider it advisable to make
annual changes in their models, a
practice that many other manufact-
urers have adopted in recent years.
Instead, they have made improvements
on the models then being produced
just as quickly as better engineering
methods were discovered, and offer
ed complete new cars only when ex-
tensive betterrnents were devised.
Each Model Was Warranted.
Each of thesedmodels has represent
ed an outstanding forward step in
engineering accomplishment, lower
serviceC cost and improved perform
ance over every previous model, fac
tory records show. Each, though sue
cessful, has seen that success sur
passed by the newer models, the rec
ords also show. AS a natural conse-
quence, sales of each model have been
larger than, those of any previous
Hupmobile.
The new 4 cars initial showings
throughout the country, to the pub
lie, to distributors and dealers, and
to merchandising experts associated
with the Industry aroused such favor
able comment that o. G.. Hutchinson,
general sales manager, ordered 10000
of them built before the end of the
year, which means capacity operations
for the main plant at Detroit, as we'll
as all Hupmobile subsidiaries, as soon
as possible
Here Are improvements.
Betterments in the new models have
been made, throughout the car-in-
GLIDING body exterior and interior,
storm curtains on the open models,
perfected engine, axles, transmission
and clutch.
The principal changes improving
performance are IN the crankshaft and
reciprocating parts-including, par
ticularly, duralumin connecting rods
and aluminium alloy pistons-eamshaft,
cooling and oiling systems, clutch,
transmission and bearings. The
crankshaft changes are particularly
emphasized in driving, freedom from
vibration being readily apparent, Of
ficials declare, The crankshaft is
counterbalanoed, and its weight in
creased from 50 1-2 pounds to 81 10
pounds to eliminate all tendency to
whip or spring.
Comfort and riding qualities have
been improved by increasing the
wheel-base three inches; by ,lengthen-
ing and widening both the front and
rear springs, and by increasing the
depth Of the frame from IL to
s inches.
