BURGLAR FINDS
ROD In PICKLE
Thief in DIR. Pugh's House
Finds Alarm Has Done
It's Work.
GETS OUT QUICKLY

A clumsy burglar put himself and
his tools at work Saturday night at
nine o'clock on the home of DR.. Pugh,
Ala Sheridan road, but the man was
frightened away before he had adj
vanced far in his operations,
The physician was at his Office and
Mrs, Pugh out of the city, when the
burgler, who seemed to be familiar
with the circumstances, broke into the
house, The man picked up an old
iron bar which he found in the yard
and tried first to open the front door
end failing there, pried the rear but
also without success. He then broke
window in the kitchen and crawled
inside. A neighbor, who saw man
moving from room to room in the
house, and knew that the family was
away, sought to reach DR.. Pugh by
telephone, but in the meantime he
reached the house,
Burglar Escapes.
Dr.. Pugh could see the outline of
the figure in the front of the house.
He went to his neighbor, Joseph Rhode
and requested him to call the police,
while he kept an eye on the house.
Captain Clausen, Officers O'Hare, L.
Bauschelt and Beam answered the call
Immediately and were joined on their
way by officer Mitchell patrolling his
round at that time.
| The officers surrounded the house
in order that the man inside might
not escape and then made their way
in. The house was empty and no one
found. The burglar had apparently
become alarmed at the arrival of the
physician and left in the interval be-
| fore the police car came up. Nothing
was missing, except the burglar,
A Strange Burglar.
From the way the man had entered
the house the police concluded that
| he had been somewhat under the in
fuence of intoxieants. He had made
little effort to conceal himself from
sight and in going from one room to
another used matches to light his way
and aid him in his search. The burnt
ends were found strewn all about.
Bureau drawers and closets in the
home had been ransacked by the in
truder but he had not had an oppor-
tunity to secure anything valuable
before he was startled and left the
house with as little formality as he
had entered it.

may have been intense and malignant, but adj
miration for the great work of improving Chi
cago will be eternal
The important thing for Chicago is that it
has learned that these great municipal projects
can be carried out
The important thing for any city is to learn
the same lesson. Kenosha wants. to learn that
it is possible for her to have wide boulevards
and properly improved lake shore Fairgrounds
and parks. Of course, bitter criticism and ridi-
cule marked nearly every step in the building
of the great Chicago BOULEVARD. and it is prob
able that there were many people who believed
that the city faced bankruptcy because it i'm
proved parks and Fairgrounds. It's going to be
the same way in Kenosha, but it is expected
that when the work is completed it will be pref
ty acceptable to all the people. Abuse will prob
ably be heaped high on the heads of men who
want to make a city more beautiful and more
useful, but there is the consolation that the
time will come when there will come an appre-
citation of the work.
Thompson and the rest of men who seek to
build up may have to wait for posterity to di-
vide between praise and blame, but it is certain
that the praise of worthy improvement of a city
will come sooner or later

YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN

"Too many of the so-called elite are bother
ing about the children of the slums, when they
don't know where their own children spend
their evenings" suggests William L. Bodine,
superintendent of compulsory education in Chi
cago, and Chicago editor adds, ''The trouble is
with our civilization, that we don't know how the
other half lives, but there seems to be a grow
ing danger for some Of us that we do not know
how our own half lives" 4
These are pretty pertinent statements, and
they concern Kenosha people just as we'll as
those in Chicago. If every man and woman in
Chicago could just be brought to the right kind
of an interest in his or her own children, we
would be going long ways toward solving a
great problem
'The other half has come to mean lot less
now than it used to mean, and the advance of
American institutions has gone long way
towards wiping out the dividing place.
Alexander Pope said, "The greatest study of
mankind is man." but it has come to be now
that the most profitable study Of mankind is his
children. There is no desire to take away from
that mythical "other half any of the sympa-
thy or aid which can be given to it, but it should
not be given to the exclusion of the work nearer
home It still remains truism that Charity
begins at home.2 If it really begins at home, it
is pretty certain to spread beyond the narrow
confines of the four walls and be benediction
to ALL 1t is, however, important that it begin
at home, and the greatest of the charity work.
ers are those who work first among those near
est and dearest to them.
There is no better way of solving the problem
Of taking care of other peoples children than to
take care of your own right If you do this, the
influence of it is certain to spread.

BILL THOMPSON QUITS.

William Hale Thompson has announced that
he does not expect Co be mayor of Chicago after
the next election. Possibly, it's a good thing
for Chicago and a better thing for Thompson.
I'VE are not discussing the fact as to whether
or not he was good mayor in everything, but
there arelsome things which are going to stand
out rather boldly as the monuments of his eight
years in Office.
These things will be remembered long after
the school board scandal, his relations with
Small, and lot of other things of more or less
blame or praise have been forgotten. One of
these things is the fact that the Thompson adj
ministration built a great boulevard link An
other is that he introduced the people of Chi
cago to the lake shore
Thompson may not have been more than one
link in the chain which dragged Chicago to see
the possibilities of wonderful bouevards, and
he may have only suggested in passing the de-
velopments of wonderful Fairgrounds in parks
and on the lake shore, but these things are
going to be his monument.
Bill Thompson built this boulevard the
people will say hundred years from now, and
they will say it because it is a thing of beauty
and of great usefulness.

January 20.

The first step in development for
those born under the sign of Aquarius
which sign governs this birthdate, is
to overcome restlessness and anxiety,
to seek only for good in all things, and
to be careful not to condemn other
people for what they secretly do them
selves.
The undeveloped Aquarius individ-
ual is sometimes a great braggart, and
very tiresome, continually calling at
tention to his or her aristocracy and
breed. They are very fond of titles,
and continually use prefxes to the
names Of their intimate friends.
The planet governing this date is
Saturn and Uranus. The birthstone is
sapphire, and the astral cOlors are
blue and pink.

Now, as always, there's talk of revis-
ing the calendar. The favorite is for a
year of 10 months. A bill is before
Congress, providing for an interna-
tional conference on calendar revision.
Can you imagine the confusion we'd
have for at least ten years if new
calendar were installed? Some folks
still are writing 1922" instead of
1923" Our present calendar has be-
come a habit, brain rut, that would
be next to impossible to forget.
One reason our big problems remain
unsolved is because we are forever
wasting time shopping around petty
things--like the. calendar, which, while
not altogether satisfactory, is the most
perfect thing we have, next to mathe-

HAIR

A 70-year-old woman with hair so
long that it touches the ground-Mrs.
Mary Rogers of Boston. She attrib-
utes her glorious hair to much sham
pooling, moderate brushing and never
using curling iron. The real reason,
of course, is heredity or that Mrs. Rog-
ers is blessed with an exceptionally
faithful thyroid gland, which regulates
hair growth and texture. Other women
might follow her way of dressing the
hair-and be nearly bald at 80.

TREES

Five trees are being cut down for
every one grown in New York State
This warning comes from Alexander
Macdonald, who devotes his time to
working for conservation of forests.
In 1850 New York ranked first in
lumber production. Now it is twenty
third in line. Western lumber states
will have much the same story to re-
port, not many years from now, unless
more trees are planted.
A treeless America is quite as posi-
BILE as the extinction of the buffalo and
passenger pigeon. Kill off the bulk of
the forest, and insects soon will de-
stroy the few trees left for ornament
and shade.

The Referee
DRAFTED

A constitutional amendment, by
which war could not be declared un-
less the people voted for it in refer
endum, is urged by Congresswoman
Winifred Mason Huck. She wants our
president to tell other world powers
that we'll delegate to the plain people
the right to declare provided the
other countries do the same.
No chance of the others agreeing,
while any of US are~aliye.
And yet the referendum on war will
have to come before there can be real
by lasting peace. A preliminary step
should be law by which legislators
voting for war would have to join the
first field army.

STUDY ENGLISH MUCH.

Tokio-It is little known, perhaps,
that the young Japanese students are
omniverous readers of foreign litera-
ture and that most of their knowledge
of foreign literature comes to them
through English translations. Not
only have they read Gogol, Anatole
France, Sienkievicz, d'Annunzio, Ibsen
Strindberg, Ellen Key, Cervantes.
Dante, Petr6nius, Sappho and Homer
through English renderings, but much
of their study of the Indian classics of
Buddhism is gained through English
versions. All the middle schools of
Japan prepare students for English.
The school for foreign languages offers
courses in every world language, but
English, is studied by all.

HOLDING

It may make you scowl to learn that
merchandise exports from our country
last year slumped to less than 1882
million dollars, compared with 8,22S
millions in the record year, 1920
However, exports in 1913 totaled
only 2,484 millions. So 1922, compared
with 1918, showed an increase of 50
per cent. That just about matches the
average increase of wholesale prices
since before the war. 1t again calls at
tention to the fact that fluctuations in
our foreign trade have been chiefly due
to price movements. It's a money hoax.

With hot red blood that throbs and leaps apace.
