First Year. of Kenosha Community Chest Asso-
citation Ends With Project Big Sue
cess in Every Way.
ALL CITIZENS SUPPORT
Citizens of the City of KenOsha Proved to the World
That They "Care" for Their Less Fortunate
and Needy NeighbOrs.
"Let me live in my house by
the side of the road, Y
And be a friend to man."

If Kenosha were casting for words
to typify the spirit which has pre-
vailed here since earliest times, none
more applicable than the lines from
the poet quoted above could be found.
Kenosha has been and is city of
friendIiness, Of hospitality, of good
neighboring, She has always cared
and shared.
This was shown most clearly today
when reports for the first year of the
Kenosha Community Chest association
were made public in connection with
the launching of the campaign Cor
the renewal Of memberships in the
association.
The year 1923, the first year of the
Community Chest association history
in Kenosha, has been in ali respects
the most critical one. The Community
Chest is now far beyond the expert
mental stage-it will never have fewer
subscribers; it will never raise less
money. The Fund will grow as the
city grows, it has been put to a severe
test and proved its value to Kenosha.
Total Subscribed 100000.

designated as May Day with the APP
proval of President Coolidge-millions
of children will engage in the tradi-
tional games Of May Day.

standing it's great wealth and reputa-
ton for advancement, is sixth among
nations in preserving the lives of
infants and seventeenth in saving
mothers in childbirth.
May Day this year will mark the
beginning of a new and determined
onslaught by intelligent public opinion
in this condition. 1t will be day
consecrated to the glorifcation Of
health and happiness among children.
The slogan adopted for this occasion
is-"Make America First in Child
Health as Well as in Wealth"
While no definite plans have been
formulated for the celebration and

be done to impress the need of some
remedy in the minds of the people
of the city.

NAB RED BOBBED
HAIR AND kEWPIE
Police Arrest Betty Gala
CHAN of Lucky Strike
Love Parlor.
LIVING TOGETHER

Betty Callaghan was not the kind of
a person that you would like to ask to
tea. One only had to give her casual
glance to determine that. She belongs
in the life of shadow, and by no pos
sible stretch Of the imagination can
one imagine her pouring" at an as
semblage of nice people at tea-af-
fair.
Not pretty at all, with really dread
full red hair, and with face that was
streaked with black because the tears
had washed down the makeup under
her eyes, she sat in the county Jail
this morning, looking most woefully
unlike the sweet life that can be as
sociated with anemones and violets
and the other accompaniment of
spring.
Just hopeless and menace to So
ciety and herself.
The Kewpie Doll Comes, Too.
The woman was arrested Saturday
night by Lieut.. Rock, Detectives Nc
Cluskey, Breidt and Chase. The
police found that she was hanging
about the Lucky Strike alec Cream
parlor" on Rowland avenue and the
Burlington IodGs OuL SAC Was ali SoSCu
on a statutory charge on which the
man with whom she had been found,
Morris Hubert, was also arrested.
To the police station the dyed red
bo.bed lady brought with her at the
time of arrest, her "next Of friend,
Ia Kewpie doll. She had hcen spending
the afternoon bronzing the Kewpie
doll, and the condition of her hands
and fingers showed it. The contrast
between the bedragged look Of Betty,
and the demure look of Kewpie IS
they sat upon the bench in the police
station was too absurd.
The woman admitted that she had
entered upon a devious career and
confessed that she had not come to
Kenosha to follow the straight and
narrow path of virtue. She said that
her history had been criss-cross of
wrong doing for many years; she said
she had married April 10 at Wauke-
gan, hoping to ''go straight" and set
tie down to domesticity, but found
that her husband was soak and that
he brought home his disreputable
friends for her to entertain.
Betty Callaghan pleaded not guilty
when arraigned this morning on a
statutory charge. She was placed
under bonds of $500 to answer at a
preliminary hearing. Morris Hubert
who was arrested with her on a statu-
tory charge, also pleaded not guilty
and was placed under bonds.

DARKHORSES OUT
FOR POSTMASTER
Several New Applicants
Seek Position of P. M.
at Kenosha.
INVESTIGATORS HERE
Investigators from Civil Service
Commission to Garry on
Second Examination.

New interest in the race for post
master of Kenosha doomed up today
when it became known that several
dark horses have been entered in the
race and that these filed application
in the second examination which was
taken on April 18th. The list of APP
plicants has not been made public
by the civil service commission at
Washington, and consequently COM
plete list cannot be published.
While it had been rumored fire.
quently here for several days that
there were several new entries in the
postmaster race, verifcation of this
was not made until this morning when
Inspector Swanson of the postal de-
partment and Civil Service Representa-
tive Hickman arrived in Kenosha to
continue examination of candidates.
Several New Candidates.
1t became known through their visit
that several new entries in the race
had been made, but no complete list
of candidates was authorized. Just
who these new entries are will be
made public when the outcome of the
examination is announced by Nthe COM
mission in Washington.
The second examination is being
carried on along the same lines as
was the first one several months ago.
The candidates all filed formal appli-
cations on April the 18th; the inves-
tigators who are here today called
each of the candidates in today for
short personal interview. Later
these investigators will interview
various business men and industrial
leaders of the city to get unbiased
opinions regarding the applicants.
Term Has Now Expired.
All of the candidates who were en-
tered in the first examination have
been re-entered, it is said, with the
exception of Postmaster James Cor
man, who was certified as eligible on
the first examination and who for thai
reason did not need to take another
examination in order to be considered
a candidate.
The law under which the examina-
ton is held directs that the civil
service certify 70 the postmaster gen.
eral the names Of at least three
eligIbles and it was on this clause
in the law that Postmaster General
Harry S. New ordered another ex-
animation to be held.
The term of Office for postmaster
has already expired, but under the
rules of the department, Postmaster
German holds over until his success
sor is named.

FREE CHOCOLATE
LADY AND GENT
Willis Knows What a "Salt"
is But Can't Make Out
Battery"
JURY COMES in AGAIN
Some Cases Are Dropped from
Calendar as Pleas of
Guilty Come In.

Arthur Willis, colored, held on a
charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm, was offered an
opportunity this morning to plead
guilty to the lesser charge of assault
and battery.
Willis waited until he was alone
with the under-sheriff and then ne
said, 81 know what a. salt is, but for
lam sakes what's that there battery
knows a battery is the pitcher and
catcher at the baseball game, but for
Ian sakes what might it mean when
they fire it at you in court ?"
Willis received an answer which
satisfied him that it would be better
to plead guilty to "salt and battery
than stand trial on the other charge.
He was fined $25 and costs by Judge
Slater this morning in municipal
court on the salt and battery charge.
The compromise was made by the
state because it was believed that 1T
would be difficult to show intent In
the case of the major offense, and al
so because the squabble had arisen
during the defendant and complaining
witness after card game in which
there was good reason to suspect that
gambling had been going on.
Chocolate Baby Is Free.
Another colored case was also dis
posed of. May Smith, held on the
charge of larceny of person, was dis
charged with the case against her dis
missed in the municipal court this
morning, just after the jury had as
sembled in continuation of the April
calendar which was interrupted last
week.
May Smith is the colored woman
who was arrested by Chief Logan
after some one informed him in front
of the city hall that he had been &C
costed by her. She was identified by
Joe Skowronski, 1923 South Edward
street, as the colored woman who had
rifed his pockets on the night of
March 81 and secured $40.
Skowronski told the district attor-
ney before the case was called this
morning that he did not want to APP
pear against the woman again. He
had been kidded to death by his
friends, for his part in the affair, and
some refused to believe that his con-
duct had been as lrreproachaple on
that night as he represented it to be.
Because of the withdrawal of the COM
planning witness, May Smith secured
her liberty and again Joined the color
ed friends in Racine who had stood by
her through her difficulty.
Michelski Case Begins.
The case of Nick Michelski, charged
with unlawful possession of moonshine,
as the result of an old affair with
Stella Zdorowski, November II, 1928,
went to trial this morning gefore a
jury in the municipal courts circuit
branch. He has paid fine as the re-
suit of the statutory charge against
him arising out of the events of that
day, but the liquor case has been
pending ever since that time. Roy s.
Stephenson represented the defendant
