T.B. DEATH RATE
IN KENOSHA LOW
Work of Free Clinic AS
signed as Reason by
DR.. Windesheim.

Kenosha has one of the lowest death
rates from tuberculosis in the state,
according to statistics for the past
ten years which were compiled by the
city health department today. The
figures show that the death rate for
the city per 100000 is 5s.4, while
the average for the same number in
the state is S4.6.
Last year the state showed a death
rate of 6S per 100000 while that of
Kenosha was down to 54.1, DR.. Gus
tave Wtndesheim, head of the local
department stated.
The doctor attributes the reduced
death rate in the city to the fact that
the public is becoming educated to
the need of regular chest examinations
at the free clinic on South Chicago
street. In this way, those who sus-
pect they have the disease can sub
nit to an examination and if it is
found that they are suffering from
lung trouble, they can start treat
ment while the disease is in its early
stages. A large percentage of such
cases are permanently cured, it was
added.
Association Supports Clinic.
The public clinic here is supported
by the Anti-Tuberculosis association
from money received through the sale
of Christmas seals. DIR. Windesheim
has complete charge of the sale of
these seals for this district of Wis
censin.
When the work was first started
here several years ago only one clinic
q month was held. Then as the public
became acquainted with the work, two
clinics were held each month, and
still the number of patients continued
to increase until now the clinic is
held every Thursday at 900 p. m.
Doctors Oscar Totz and A. A. Pleyte,
specialists, come here from Milwaukee
to take charge Of the work.

Engineer Returns
from Convention
Robert Smith States that City's Paw
ing Specifications Will Not Be
Changed During Coming Season.

No change will be made in the spe-
cifications for the city's paving con-
tracts during the coming season,
Robert Smith, city engineer stated to-
day. Mr.. Smith has returned from the
annual convention of the Wisconsin
Society of Engineers, which closed at
Madison Saturday noon.
Out of the 200 members of the or
ganization who attended the meeting
SO were city engineers from various
Wisconsin cities, it was stated.
A check with engineers of other
cities has shown that the speciflcn-
tions for paving in Kenosha is equal
to that required by any other city,
and in many cases superior. Paving
it was stated, has passed the expert
mental stage and specifications have
come to be pretty thoroughly stand
ardized.

Bayfield,, Wis. - Charles F. Tindall,
resort manager of Madeline Island,
was saved from drowning by his dogs

ing on Lake Superior, one mile off
Big Bay Point, when his sled and four
dogs went through the ice.
The dogs managed to climb out of
the water with Tindall having the
refns. Cries of the dogs attracted Lee
Russell, John and Charles Hagen who
were fishing about a half mile from
the accident who attached their dogs
to Tindall's and succeeded in pulling
him back onto solid ice.
This is the second mishap Tindall
has had on Lake Superior in month.

DEPRECIATION ONLY
ON LARGE AMOUNTS
State Tax Commission Rules That
the Schedule Must be
Followed Broadly"

Madison, Wis.-Changes in depreci-
alton deductions of corporations as
sessed for taxes by the state tax COM
mission will be made only when
amounts involved are of considerable
amount, in accordance with the prin-
ciple laid down in the recent income
tax decision of the supreme court, &C
cording to an order sent out by the
state tax commission to all field audi
tors and assessors of incomes.
The tax commission outlines its
new rule with regard to changes in
depreciation as follows:
eve suggest that you give this de-
cision a rather broad application and
make changes in depreciation deduca-
tions only when the amounts involved
are substantial, and when it clearly
appears that the commission or as
SCISSORS of incomes must have been
misled by incomplete statement of
mistatement of important facts bear
ing on depreciation by the tax payer
in his income tax return.
The commission also requested that
complete report of reasons for
changes in the deductions of any COR
poration be made to the commission.
The decision involved. was in the
Schuster Realty company case in
which the supreme court held that in
revising the income tax assessment of
the company, no change should have
been made in the depreciation deduca-
tion because the commission had the
e@n% 80 hnfoy.o ~ ryhavn ~
made the reassessment that it had
when the original assessment was
made.

ElOpers Tell
the Other Side
Kenosha Elopers Halted Last Week
at Waukegan Tell Their Side
of the Story.

Loves young dream was broken for
Gustave Adolph Amend, 7o7 Edward
street, Kenosha, and Miss Ethel Ream,
of Winthrop Harbor, last week when
Thomas H. Redmond of Kenosha no.
titled the county clerk at Waukegan
not to issue a license to them. In q
letter received this morning by this
paper from the two would-be clippers,
they tell their side of the story. They
allege that the joke is on Redmond
inasmuch as they never even attempt
ed to secure a license. The young lady
also claims that Redmond is not her
cousin and had no right to interfere
in her affairs. She also claims that
Redmond was married at nineteen
and for that reason should have kept
quiet. In signing the letter Miss Ream
says she is not "sweet sixteen" but
seventeen and Amend says that he 10
twenty.

SCHEDULE FOR
STATE WORKERS
Scientifically Adjusted Pay
Schedule to go In Effect
in September.
EXPERTS MAKE IT

Madison, Wis.--All state employees
lnder civil service will be put on
new scientifically adjusted wage sched-
ule by September /, according to an
announcement by A. E. Carey, head of
The civil service commission, who at
The instigation of Governor John j.
Blaine has started work in drawing
Up such a scale.
DR.. Max Alberts of the University
# Wisconsin already has been en-
Jloyed by the civil service commits
ion to make a survey of the salaries
icing paid state employees so that
here will be basis for definite
wage level for all groups and classes
# employees.
In addition during the month of
une, DR.. Allen M. Ruggles, grad
late of the university and the one
Tho aided most effectively in build
ng up Wisconsin's system of civil
ervice, will come to direct the work
egun by DR.. Alberts. DR.. Ruggles
at present at the University of Ok
ahoma and is recognized nationally
an expert in civil service work. He
o-operated very closely with Senator
aFollette at the time the civil service
ystem was introduced to Wisconsin.
Discretion Rules Now.
At present the salaries of state en-
loyes are at the discretion of the
arious department heads and Carey
ates that wide discrepancies exist
l many departments and that many
ljustices result from this haphazard
ystem. Although department heads
i'll not be compelled to accept the
age scale being drawn up, Carey
elieves that all will be willing to
cooperate with him.
The new scale based upon careful
nd scientific research will also prove
service to hundreds of employers
throughout the state who very often
ave little conception of the proper
evel at which wages should be
djusted.
"The present system of fixing wages
ias resulted in many injustices,"
Iarey said. "In one department the
employees may not average more than
so or 500 a month, while in another
hey may average $3.50 or $125. Under
his arbitrary system, too often, fav-
oritism and partial judgments are the
basis of salary schedules" he said
Under the new system there will
be an exact wage level for each type
of employe and there will be no ques-
tion as to salary. The new plan also
provides a system of advancement
whereby salaries may be advanced
corresponding to an increase in re-
sponsibility and position,

MAY UNITE TO WV.
HALT WEDDINGS
Kenosha May Join Other
Counties in War on Wau-
kegan Weddings. j.

Kenosha and Kenosha county is
very much interested in movement
which is on foot in Wisconsin coun"
ties to take steps to halt Child wed"
dings" at Waukegan, this being the
Grctna Green for all Wisconsin
youthful clippers. The proposed ac-
ton on the part of the Waukesha
authorities in investigating what they
believe to be the elopement Of num-
Der of high school students who are
alleged to have been married Is be-
lieved to be but the first step in a
similar course that is planned in sew
eral Wisconsin cities.
Every year scores of KenOsha young
people, who are too young to secure
a license to wed here, elope to Wau-'
kegan and are married there. The pro-
posed joint action would further fet-
ter cupid in this city.
For the last few years the divorces
courts in Wisconsin have been clut-
tered with cases which grew out Of
unhappy marriages that have occur
red in WaukegRn and other cities, .
majority from Waukegan. Judges have
scored the children for clipping and
have recommended that steps be taken
to prevent such marriages.
Perjury proceedings, it is said, are
to be brought against the minor chill
dren who come to Wsukegan, swear
they are OF age and persuade the
county clerk or one of his deputies to
issue licenses. Wisconsin authorities
say that unless some such drastic As-
tion is taken the condition may grow
even worse. Their purpose in acting
is to save the boys and girls of the
various cities in the Badger state.

GIVES HUNDRED
BUCKS If DRUNK
William HOlderman Offers
500 to Poor if SOused
Once More.
MAKES HIM WEARY

Again the jury box was filled in the
municipal court this morning but not
with jurors. 1t was the little army
of men with eyes redeemed by drink,
and the general unkempt look of those
who have spent night in Jail. One
after another the sordid cases Of
"intoxication" were called.
William Holterman, 223 North New
ell street, came into court charged
again with intoxicaticn. The man
was picked up at the North Shore
station by Oficer Rohde ON Saturday
night when found making a distur-
bance.
The man was arrested last weekend
also on the charge Of intoxication
when found in a snow-bank at the
corner of. Sheridan road and Dayton
street. That time he. quoted Heine
and talked much of his "beine."
This morning Holterman was much
Disguised at himself when he rolled
out of his bunk in the city lookup.
He told Assistant Chief Cyzak that
he intended to go on the water wagon
entirely. s.
"The trouble with me-" he said, sis
that can't take drink and let it
go at that. / keep on until I'm
picked. Now I'm going to swear off
for good l want to leave 500 with
you as surety, and if get drunk again
take it and give it to the poor"
Holterman told the court the same
story this morning, He was given the
usual fine Of So and costs.
Max Mcguire, Great Lakes sailor,
was another of the crew. On the ar
rest sheet he was charged not with
simple intoxication, but with being
dead drunk The tannery watch
man found him in that condition Sun
day and notified the police.

THIEVES.

A Buffalo man was sentenced to four
years in prison for stealing a package
of cookies and several pennies from
a grocery store. He admitted guilt,
but gave rs his excuse the fact that
his four children were hungry.
He had eight previous convictions,
and the sentence was stiff, probably
because he was chronic offender.
But we can't help wondering what
would have happened to him il he
had been mixed up in mess like
the Teapot Dome instead IF stealing
less than a dollars worth.
