Farm Orchards
Are Money Losers

Madison. Farm orchards which can
not have proper care and are left to
take care of themselves are invariably
money loosers, according to J. G.
Moore, horticulturalist of the Wiscon-
sin college of agriculture.
Successful orchard culture demands
a soil adapted to the fruit, selection
of varieties which do well in this eli
mate, care in planting and constant
care from the day the trees come from
the nursery, Moore said. In this way
only can fruit crops be made profit
able.
"Four things need consideration in
selection of the site of the orchard"
Moore declared, convenience, soil,
elevation and exposure. Convenience
is the first, for unless the orchard is
located fairly close to the house its
care is almost sure to be neglected
and poor utilization is made of the
fruit that is produced. Convenience
should take precedence"

Take Pirst Steps
in Gasoline Probe

Madison. The first step in the
statewide investigation of gasoline
prices in Wisconsin was taken today
when inquiries were sent to all gaso-
line dealers and jobbers in the state by
the state department of markets, ask
ing for information as to prices paid
and charges for the product.
Detailed statistics are requested by
the state department as to reasons for
an alleged uniform level of prices
over the state. Information also was
asked as to conditions and practices
(which prevent dealers from reducing
the prices"
Questionnaires calling for answers
to specify questions are being prepar-
ed by the department for mailing to
all oil wholesalers during the next
few days and in the meantime general
response from the inquiry are expect
ed.
Commissioner of Markets Edward
Nordman also calls attention to the
fact that dealers testified as to the
excessive number of service and sales
stations and the construction of new
ones.
The inquiries are being made as
part of an extensive probe of gasoline
prices in the state as requested last
week by Attorney General Herman L.
Ekern.

Orzech Tells Police Bride
of Three Months Has
Run Away.
HE WANTS HER BACK


Married three months, and now he
is single again. His wife left him..
Wasil Orzech, 206 Rice avenue, came
to the police office Friday flight and
made his bitter complaint. He said
that he had had no fault to find with
his wife, that he loved her and wished
she had only felt the same way about
him.
81 love her." he said, "and | can
not understand how she came toNrun

no other man. She did not care about
anybody else"
Took Money With Her.
Orzech said that when he came
home from work Friday he found his
wife had gone and taken her belong
ings. She had also taken $500 in
cash, representing his savings which
he had in the house.
The man said he was sorry that the
money was gone but he was still more
sorry to lose his wife. He thinks she
has left for California, as she frequent
ly expressed desire to go there. The
couple had been married only three
months. The plaintive husband gave
a description Of the lady to the police,
but as there are no charges against
her and a woman still has right to
leave her husband if she chooses, it
was considered a rare chance if her'

One town in the United States
has succeeded In reducing its
tuberculosis death rate 6S per cent.
In only seven years. 1t has ac-
complished this at a cost which is
not prohibitive. birmingham,
Massachusetts. has demonstrated
that public health is purchasa.ble
and that the returns are more than
commensurate with the cost. On
the basis of this demonstration,
tuberculosis, which until recently
headed the list of death causes,
may be definitely classed among
the comfortable diseases.
The death rate from tuberculosis
in birmingham, since January l..
1917 has declined from 121 per
100000 population to 3S per 10O,-l
600 in 1928.
How it was done is. or should be,
of interest to every community in
America.
This first great health demon
stration, under the auspices of the
National tuberculosis Association,
was made possible by an appro-
priation of nearly 100000 by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany birmingham. a town OF
$4,000 was selected in 1916 as a
typical,1 American industrial COM
munity Since then, through the
aid of local health and medical
agencies, and commercial concerns,
every effort has been made to find
tuberculosis cases, to treat them

MAKING 8--ACRE
PARK ADDITION
Over $500 Yards of Dirt
from Excavation Used
for Park Addition.
TO BEAUTIFY PLOT

The eight-acre addition to Lincoln
park is rapidly being completed. AL
ready more than 5000 yards of dirt
were worn in by Jerome creek during
flood periods. F., A. Carlson, director
of parks, stated today.
Plans are now being laid to beauti-
fly the addition by the planting of
trees and shrubery. This will be done
as soon as it has been seeded, follow
ing the grading work. The grading
will be started in the near future.
For years this tract has been an eye
sore to residents of the Lincoln park
section of the city. During wet weather
pools of stagnant water formed in the
deep holes and served as a breading
place for flies and mosquitoes.
Use Brass" Dirt.
With the plans to build the addi-
tions to the American Brass plant,
some arrangement had to be made to
dispose of the thousands of yards Of
dirt which were to be excavated. An
arrangement was made with the city
whereby this dirt could be used to fill
up the holes and make the Lincoln
park addition serviceable. The haul
was only three blocks from the build
ing site.
The excavation was started last fall
with five trucks and six teams hauling
the dirt The work was continued for
about two months until the cold wealth
er came. 1t was started again about
month ago.
The tract of land which is being
filled in is between Lester and Selleck
evenues and between Lyman avenue
and the Lincoln park lagoon.

MOON is KEPT
UNDER FLOOR
Sergeant Kramer Finds
Goods at Dogizanski
Pool Room.
hide THE THIMBLE'

Sergeant Max Kramer played game
Saturday night that he hasn't played
since he was a small boy in vacation
time when there was a party some
where. The game was "hide the Thin
ble." Everybody knows about that
game that it doesn't much matter what
the thimble happens to be; in this
case it was moonshine.
Sergeant Kramer, together with Off
GERS Cunningham, Watson and Rey-
nolds, had been assigned to raid the
poolroom and premises of William
Dogizanski, operating under Class
B. and poolroom permit at 21O Main
street, upstairs.
Then the Game Begins.
When the police officers went into
the place the proprietor and bartend-
er did not betray what they thought of
the procedure. But when the sergeant
drew near little store room built in
the bigger room, he could tell by the
actions of the men in the place that
he was getting warm"
He moved little nearer and watch
ed; the expression said warmer"
Anxiety and uneasiness was expressed
clearly when he began to fuss around
the flooring. "Hot,". thought the SER
geant. And sure enough he was re-
warded by finding under the flooring
in the store room two milk bottles of
moonshine and three and a half pints
of whiskey. Another bottle was found
behind the bar in the place.
The police had found the thimble,
and this morning Dogizanski was or
dered to appear In court to answer
the charge of unlawful possession of
moonshine whiskey

TO INVESTIGATE
GASOLINE PRICES
Big Inquiry Instituted by
the Department of
Markets.
LETTERS TO DEALERS

Madison.-Investigat into the
prices of gasoline, operations of gaso-
line dealers and refineries and price
fixing methods was instituted today
by the state department of markets
at the direction of Attorney General
Herman L. Ekern. The inquiry Will
assume large proportions, in the opln-
ion of officials, and will determine
whether court proceedings will be
filed against gasoline firms.
I In letter to Edward Nordman,
state commissioner of markets, At
torney General Ekern requested that
refners, wholesalers, jobbers and
other gasoline dealers be directed to
furnish information as to the present
prices, profits and costs of gasoline
and "the reason why the price of gaso-
line to the consumer is being uniform
ly maintained and not being reduced
to yield only reasonable margin"
Will Send Out Letters.
In accordance with the request,
Commi ssioner Nordman stated he will
direct letters to all gasoline operators
and that close observation of the
returns will be made to determine fu-
ture action.
"The quoted price of Oklahoma
gasoline is now g 1-2 to 9 3-4 cents
per gallon" Mr.. Ekern stated in his
letter. "The testimony taken during
last year showed that the freight
charge is 2.65 cents and fair margin
for the cost of handling and market
ing through tank wagon is cents.
This would make 16 to 16 IL cents a
fair tank wagon retail price on the
present price of gasoline at Tulsa,
Okla, from which place most of our
independent gasoline comes.
"The returns to your department
show a uniform service station price
throughout Wisconsin ranging from
20.1 at Milwaukee to PIP cents at La
Crosse and Superior, and uniform
tank wagon price ranging from 1871
to 1872 cents per gallon, which is from
2 to cents in excess of fair margin
of four cents per gallon.
Prices Weakening.
"The oil trade journals indicate
that the crude oil and refinery prices
of gasoline are weakening and that
there should be immediate reductions
in the price Of gasoline. There are al
SO indications that the installation of
an excessive number of service and
other sale stations is continually
going on, notwithstanding the testi-
mony given before you that the num-
Der of such stations already was very
excessive.
you are, therefore, requested as
provided by statute, to require immed
late information from. all refners,
wholesalers, jobbers and other large
dealers in gasoline as to the present
price of gasoline, profits and costs of
gasoline and the reasons the price. to
the consumer is being uniformly main
tanned and is not being reduced to
yield only the reasonable margin
above indicated, and also to require
replies as to the conditions or prac-
,tices which prevent SUCH reduction,
and as to the needless waste or dupli-
cation and in the excessive installa-
tions of service stations and other
means for the distribution of gaso-
line"
Extended testimony as to price fix
ing was taken by the legal department
and department of markets last year
in an investigation of gasoline prices.

successfully, to prevent the dis
ease, and to build up under local
leadership, adequate health mach
inery for town of this size.
From the beginning the people
OF birmingham have shown an in
creasing conviction of the value Of
disease preventive measures. The
Board of Health has expanded Its
activities along infant welfare and
tuberculosis prevention lines. The
local school authorities have great
ly expanded medical, nursing, dem
tai, clinical and health education
services. The leading industries
have encouraged the periodic
health examination of workers and
facilities for their care. All this
has resulted in the prevention Of
illness and the prolGngation of life.

TUBERCULOSIS
WORKERS MEET
State Anti tuberculosis
Association to Confer
at Eau Claire.
URGE EARLY CARE

Wisconsin tuberculosis workers are
making preparations for the annual
mid-year sanatorium conference to be
held at Mount Washington sanatorium,
Eau Claire, on Saturday, June 7. This
is the fifth annual mid-year conference
to be held in the state for sanatorium
trustees, PHYSICIANS, superintendents,
nurses, public health workers and 9TH
ers active or interested in the cam
paign against tuberculosis. The con-
ferences are held under the auspices
of the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION, which is the connecting link
in the states chain of institutions for
the care of the tuberculosis.
The broadening scope of usefulness
Of the sanatorium, which few years
ago were considered only as a last re-
sort-for the copsumptive, makes these
conferences, held for the purpose Of
promoting closer cooperation among
the institutions and increasing their
efficiency, of special value. One of the
most important problems to be dis
cussed at the meeting centers about
the state associations slogan, make
t1berculous, not the last"
Tendency to Wait.
While the educational campaign,
teaching the Importance of early treat
ment for tuberculosis, has had splen-
did results, state association examin-
ers assert that there is still too great
tendency for people to wait until
tuberculosis has reached the advanced
stages before entering a sanatoria. The
fact that more than 1,700 people died
in Wisconsin from tuberculosis in 1923
is striking testimony of the tragedy of
delaying treatment in this disease
which is readily durable in the incip-
lent stages, according to tuberculosis
workers.
To make the sanatorium a school
for the tuberculouse a place where peo-
pie suffering with tuberculosis will
go early to learn how to get well and
how to stay we'll and how to protect
others from the dangers of infection is
the aim of the, state association. The
new law, giving people with pronounc-
ed suspicious cases of tuberculosis, the
right to go 90 a sanatorium for per-
iod of observation, will receive consid-
cradle attention at the next meeting
as it is considered a big step forward
in extending the usefulness of the sap
atoria and in getting incipient cases
under prompt treatment.
Discuss Lack of Facilities.
The lack of adequate sanatorium
facilities in the state, particularly for
the care of children, will also be dis
cussed. Wisconsin now has IL in
stitutions for the care of its tuber-
culous with total capacity Of about
1900 beds. The list of sanatoria fol-
lows: State sanatorium at Statesan,
near Wales; the State Convalescent
camp at Tomahawk Lake; Muirdale
sanatorium, Milwaukee county; Mt.
Washington sanatorium, Eau Claire;
Riverview, Little Chute; Oak Forest,
Onalaska; Sunny Rest Sanatorium, Ra-

A flying fiivver will be placed on

Germany. The price it's said will be
less than motorcycle with side car.
The speed will be 20 miles an hour,
gasoline a cent mile.
Comparatively safe flying fivvers
probably soon will be for sale. In
venting and manufacturing will not
be dificuite But inducing people to
buy and ride will not be as sesay. It's

And the improvement was re-
fiected not only in the tuberculosis
death rate; the deaths among bab-
les were reduced 40 percent. dur
ing the period of the demonstra-
ton. birmingham is better
place to be born and a better place
to live than it used to be. Dur
ing 1922 and 1928 the people Of
the town cheerfully spent six times
as much for health work as was
available prior to the demonstra-l
ton.
Many other cities are taking
their cue from birmingham. What
has been done can be done. If
Framinghams lesson is well learn
ed tuberculosis may before long be
definitely ranked as one of the
digeases under complete control.
