WANT IMPROVED ROADS
Delegation From Fourth District De-
sire Better Highways-Matter
Referred To Engineer.

A delegation appeared before the
Kent County Levy Court on Tuesday
and requested that an improved road
be constructed from Marydel running
south about three miles in the Fourth
district. They claimed that the present
road is in a very poor condition. The
court requested Chief Engineer T.
Marvel Gooden to inspect the road and
report back at a future meeting.
The Clerk of the Peace was instruct
ed to notify Harry Minner not to use
his tractor on a new piece of road in
the Sixth district, for the purpose of
pulling hedges from private property,
as it would be injurious to the high
way.
John w. Sheldrake, president of the
court and Engineer Gooden were
named as a committee to meet a like
committee from the New Castle Coun-
ty Levy Court and view the bridge at
Fleming's Landing which is between
the two counties.
The road fund in several districts is
overdrawn and to meet this conting-
ency, the court ordered $4,000 trans
ferred from other districts; $4,000 will
be taken from the Fifth district and
$1,000 from the Tenth district.
A motion was passed to have the
court borrow $4,000 from the Farm
ers Bank at Dover for sixty days to
tide over the general fund until addi-
tional revenue is received.
Some citizens of Clayton requested
that the court order the railroad
crossing at North Clayton closed. AS
there was some objection to this ac-
ton, the court refused to grant the
request.
Councilman w. D. Clements of Do
yer, requested permission to- use some
of the county's equipment in repair
ing some of the streets in the town.
The request was granted.
The account of ex-Sheriff J. E. Cook
was referred to Richard R. Kenney,
counsel for the court, for adjustment.

StOrk Pays Visit
to Pullman Cars

Chicago. as is the speed of
the Pullman car, that of the stork is
often faster, and often the benevolent
bird catches the train. Many conduc-
tors and porters have assisted in ush-
ering infants into the world with liter
ally wing start in life's handicap, ac-
cording to the Pullman News.
The stork, although an intelligent
carrier sometimes fails to ascertain
whether a physician is on the train he
is pursuing In such instances it is up
to the conductors, porters and possibly
experienced men and women passen-
gers to assist in the glorious advent.
The News says:
con one occasion William Venn, gem
eral foreman of the Pullman yards at
Kansas City, but then conductor of the
car "Biscay," aided and abetted the
stork.. The mother promptly selected
the name of Venn Biscay Smith for
her son."
Porter Lou Thomas, now dead, was
known as doctor" on the Erie run
from Buffalo to Cincinnati because he
had assisted in three births on his car.
Porter Stephen L. Hopkins Of the
Minneapolis district had one of these
experiences. The next morning Hop
kins wrapped the mother and child in
blankets and presented them to the
awaiting husband and father.
"He gave me so cents, but informed
him there was no charge" narrates
Porter Hopkins. "That night he re-
turned the two blankets with So"

Chicago-A nationwide movement
for the Individual care of homeless
boys and girls is expected to be inau-
gurated here with the meeting of the
directors of the International Associa-
ton of Lions clubs. In addition, plans
for inducing aliens to become natural
lied citizens, and to instruct them in
Americanism upon broad and compre-
hensive basis will also be formulated.
Each year the directors of this as
ISOLATION make plans for one or more
major activities of its 500 clubs in the
United States and Canada, and these
are followed out by it's membership of
10000. The plan for the aid to home
less boys land girls was suggested by
the president of the association, Ed.
S. Vaught, of Oklahoma City.
The present plan, according to Secre-
tary General Melvin Jones, of Chicago,
contemplates the adoption" by each
member of the organization of home
less boy or girl and care for the indi-
vidual child in the way of looking
after its schooling, clothing and see
ing to it that the child is sufficiently
nurtured with wholesome food. The
members are expected to report to
their clubs at stated intervals, giving
the progress of the children under
their care. In this way it is planned
to provide decent surroundings, edu-
cation and proper influence for at
least 100000 homeless little ones each
year. The expense will be borne
jointly by the individual members and
the clubs.
The plan for naturalization and
Americanization is a cooperative ac-
tivity of the clubs. AT the present
time more than ITS Lions clubs are
conducting naturalization and Ameri-
canization classes, and more than 200
clubs are already actively engaged in
promoting the welfare of homeless
children.
The plan of the directors is to CO.
| ordinate these activities and to have
all Lions clubs engage in them upon
a definite basis. The meeting which
started on Monday will wind up on
Wednesday.

Taxed at the Rate of $50
Keg by Geiger.
tBy Associated Press Leased Wire

Milwaukee, Wis. = Possession of
Spoiled" beer cost the Plymouth
Brewing & Mailing company, Ply
mouth, Wis, $50 key Monday after
noon by Judge Geiger in federal court
when it pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment returned by the October grand
jury charging traffic in real beer.
The company was fined total of
$3.50, $50 on 81 of the 38 counts con-
tanned in the true bill. Five relating
to alleged sales of beer and two to
manufacture were nolled on motion of
William o. Meilahn, assistant United
States district attorney, who said that
some doubt existed as to whether vio-
lations charged in these counts were
not duplicated in others allowed to
stand.
Mr.. Meilahn charged that "a samples
taken from the brewery's rack room
on August 8, 1922, showed alcoholic
contents ranging from .93 to 1853 per
cent, and 80 from the open market,
go to 1.94 per cent. ]. C. Curtis,
president of the defendant company,
testified that the kegs which tested
over per cent contained beer which
had been returned by saloonkeepers and
other customers because it had
spoiled.

JOHN GEHRING A
MONEY CHANGER
Kenosha Banker Beats New
Workers in Solving Per-
picking Problem.
ROTARY CLUB
Nl-s-@.eg...a.sln4 laHft

A banker down in New York pre-
siding over a meeting of forty leading
bankers made this proposition: "a
man came into my bank this
morning and paid note for a thoa-
sand dollars in silver dollars. They
were all in one bag and l told one of
the clerks in the bank to divide this
money up in bags each bag to be tied
securely and the money put into the
bags in such way that any number
of dollars up to the thousand could be
paid out by delivering the bags with
out untieing the strings"
The banker proceeded to offer a
prize of one thousand dollars to any
one who would tell how to-divide the
money in ten minutes.
The same, proposition was made to
the members of the Kenosha Rotary
club at noon today with the excep-
ton that the reward offered was
slightly reduced, John Gehring5 of
the First National Bank solved the
problem in just four minutes. Of
course if you want to know how it is
done any of the members of the Ro-
tary club will tell you.
Pungle into Eddie Guest Fund.
The meeting of the club today was
largely with a view of making addi-
tions to the Eddie Guest fund and
President Cooper had lot of tests
to submit to the members of the club
and their failure to meet them resulted
in considerable sum being added to
the fund.
A new attendance contest was in
naugurated with the meeting of the
club today with the understanding that
at the end of the last quarter of the
year the members who have the poor
est record for attendance will pay for
the dinner of those having the better
record.

SONG LEADERS
FINISH COURSE
Music Institute Members
Progressing Toward
Real Ability.
CROWD PSYCHOLOGY"

In two more weeks, Kenosha viii
have acquired something entirely new
in accomplishments. The members of
the Music Institute, under the tutelage
of G. E. Bickford, are becoming lead
ers of Kenosha community singing.
Their training which is condensed in
to a few short sessions, held at the
Washington school, is nevertheless
efficient, because it embraces both
theory and practice. The program last
evening was opened by short adj
dress on Crowd Psychology" by Mr.
Bickford.
"There are as many means of song
leading, as there are leaders," he said,
"and different people look upon their
material at hand in different ways.
Some leaders go about it as they would
a large chorus; some as glee club,
and some as patriotic gathering.
The result is sometimes a success,
sometimes a failure, but this is I'M
important, because so often it does not
take place at all. Community singing
is an ideal, until the leader makes it
reality. The ideal is the will to sing
which must be created in each person.
Americans Lack VIII to Sing.
"If this will to sing were originally
in people it would not be difficult to
make them sing" said Bickford. "In
America we train our school children
in technique, and neglect to teach him
the love of music and Interpretation.
Music should be a series of moods ex-
pressing emotions which have long
remained dormant. Americans have
converted this power into forms of
civilization; has expressed her eme~
tions in progress.
"Good music is a permanent friend
Ordinary music is a mere acquaintance.
Have faith in music-love jt-be full
of it, before you attempt to make an
audience sing"
Practical demonstration of the meth
DDS of directing various time beats
were conducted. At next Mondays
session speaker will be presented
who has had considerable practical ex-
perience in music direction. At the
last session Fred. Carberry, the noted
song director of Milwaukee, will speak
before the institute.

RUSSIA FOR RUSSIANS"
(Ry Aseociofad prssa

Observation-Disclosures for the Rus
slams, an intense nationalism and a
ruthless foreign policy where Russian
interests are concerned, are the leading
principles of the new Russian govern
ment according to Communists here.
The educated members of the party
here are convinced that the days of
1916 and 1919 are gone, never to re-
turn, and that only by capitalism can
the finances of the country be restored.
The idea Of working with foreign
capital is that the government should
be shareholder in all commercial en-
terprises which will be undertaken,
foreigners supplying the ready money
and the machinery, while the govern
ment will give the concessions and the
workers and laborers employed in
working them.
