rorizing residents on the west side of
the city for several weeks, got more
than he bargained for on Monday
night when eattempted to peer into
the home of Frank Haubrick, 708 Mar

hurriedly that he thrust his fist thru

were at the home alone about eleven
O'Clock on Monday night. The daugh-

the night when she heard some one
at the window. Frightened she ran

curtain and saw the mans face against
the window pane. The prowler had
attempted to push open the storm
window and was in the act of doing
this when Mrs. Haubrick lifted the
curtain. In his fright he pushed his
other hand against the window pane

WOMEN VOTERS NOT
TO ENDORSE LEAGUE
Meeting of the Women in Des Moines
Expected to Adhere to
Republican Stand.
by Associated Press Leased wirel


Des Moines, Iowa. Endorsement of
the League of Nations and the world
court as a solution of present day
ills probably will not go into the reso-
lutions of the National League of
Women Voters without opposition.
This became apparent today when
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Elyria,
Ohio, woman's chairman OF the Ma
tional Republican committee, declar-
ed her positive adherence to the Re
publican party's refusal ''to accept
the league with its suggested super
government"
Her address at luncheon indicated
that her opinions will be direct con-
f1ict with those to be laid before the
league on Friday evening by Lord
Robert Cecil.
Following an eulogy to the Republi-
can party and its founders, Mrs.
Upton said:
81 believe in all the things my party
has fundamentally stood for, includ-
ing it's refusal to accept the League
of Nations with its suggested super
government
"That the steamship, cable, wireless,
airplane and radio have brought the
nations of the earth nearer together,
we all know that our problems and
interests are becoming more common,
any one can see. The very fact that
this is so argues not for super
government, but for better under
standing between nations, each being
independent and not circumscribed.
when history is written, the ac-
complishments of the Harding admin
istration will appear in capitals.
Women as women, will undoubtedly
favor some form of definite action to
guarantee peace" Mrs Upton said
women undoubtedly will determine
the outcome of the 1924 election"
Mrs. Upton declared, however, that
political parties must go on record on
the question of preventing war.

FIND TRACE OF
SHIP LONG LOST
Find Clew as to Where the
Xmas Ship Went Down
In 1910.
DISASTER IS RECALLED

Several bundles Of Christmas trees
brought to shore in the nets of fisher
men near Two Rivers, Wis.,, late Mon
day may solve the mystery of locating
the grave Of the Christmas ship "Rouse
Simmons" named after a pioneer Ke-
nosha merchant, which ship went to
the bottom in the fall of 1910.
The trappers, lumbermen and fisher
men of the Two Rivers district believe
that the trees were part of the cargo
dashed to the deck of the schooner
"Rouse Simmons" which went down
with all on board in lake gale. No
trace Of the ship, its crew or cargo had
ever been recovered until these trees
were found on Monday. 1t is believed
that the ship must have gone down
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
Two Rivers harbor.
Many Kenoshans recall the strange
disappearance Of the Christmas tree
ship. The schooner, named after the
Kenoshan, had sailed the lake for many
years and had frequently put in at the
Kenosha harbor.
Nets Bring Up Trees.
Fishermen dropped their nets off Two
Rivers several weeks ago, but were
prevented by the prevailing rough
weather from hauling them in When
at last they were able to recover them
they found bits of unidentifable wreck
age and numbers of small spruce trees
tied in bundles.
Capt. James Schuenemann. command
er of the Christmas, ship, had made the
annual journey from Bailey's Harbor
to Chicago for number of years prior
to the storm of 1910. When the
schooner failed to report that year,
his widow, accepting her misfortune rs
the lot of sailors wife, Quilted q
new ship and sailed it herself until
her children grew large enough to aid
her.
Sailed Over Ships Grave.
More than a score Of times she has
sailed over the spot where the water
legged Christmas trees were brought
to the surface on Monday. The fishing
grounds Of the Two Rivers fishermen
are on the regular route Of long-shore
traffic between the north woods and
Chicago.

should see, but doesn't.
In the country it's different. If they
don't go to the dentist, it is because he's
too far away. In the city, when they fail
to go, which is seldom, it's because they
are too busy playing tennis, or swimming,
or golfng, or dieting.
Dieting doesn't get much time from
farmers. In the country they eat meat
and potatoes because the women are too
busy to prepare variety of dishes, and
the men folks expect meat and potatoes
In the city they strive earnestly to eat
balanced meals, because they know they
can't live long anyway, and they want to-
feel as well as possible while they do live.

he eats and goes to bed early, so as to be
