MIDWEST LEAGUE TO
END SEASON SUNDAY
Secretary Chubb Gives Out Statement
That League Will End Season
on Next Sunday.

Beloit, Wis. The Midwest league,
the major league of independent base
ball, will terminate it's schedule on
Sunday, September IA, according to an
announcement coming from Secretary
AL Chubb of the league here today. The
decision came out of meeting OF
the league managers and officials at
Kenosha yesterday.
Racine's threat to withdraw from
the league made the final change neces-
sary. The league, which was COM
posed of eight teams at the beginning
Of the season, has been losing money
because Of the poor weather during the
entire season. The Logan Squares ana
the Niesens, Chicago members Of the
league, were the first to withdraw.
Canton's financial backing was taken
away and the Ohio club became a road
team. The move Of Racine to with
draw came yesterday.
The six teams in the league VIII
play this weeks schedule. Simmons
plays at Massillon for six games, Can
ton plays at Beloit in three contests
this weekend and Nash meets Racine

Demand Repairing of
All City Sidewalks
City Engineering Department Sends
Crew Out to Mark Sidewalks
in Poor Condition.

The work of the city engineering
department in demanding that side
walks in poor condition throughout the
city be repaired at once is continuing
each day. Crews are being sent out
to various sections of the city mark
ing sidewalk sections in need of
repair and serving notice on the
property owners.
While some of the repair work is
being done by the city crew and the
cost added to the property owners tax
bill, it is being recommended by City
Engineer Robert Smith, that the own
ers do the work themselves. Wherever
some blocks of sidewalk are raised it
is often found expedient to chop off
the raised edges rather than rebuild
the entire section. All of this, how
ever, is left to the judgment of
the property owner to whom the no.
tice is served.
The work will be completed through
out the city, it is expected, within
a year.

How clever New York Hostess Solved the Problem.

are most satisfactory gifts when
they are wisely chosen-that there
is book for everybody's taste.
Books with Chinese flavor were
therefore Mrs. Van DIS solution to
the problems of what to give her
Nah Jong enthusiasts who doubled
to victoryi And she writes little
greeting on the fiyleaf and the re-
suit is cherished possession.
A favorite book. with men and
women, is "Jade," a volume Of
San Francisco Chinatown stories,
the strange Oriental atmosphere OF
which gets into ones bones like
strong, incense and which burns
with cruei tragedy like the ruby
eyes of some malignant idol. You
wouldn't think that these stories,
bound in delightful jade green,
were written by Hugh Wiley, the
creator Of the irrepressible "cullud
man" Wildcat.
For a very special prize for a
very special occasion Mrs. Van D,
gives that gem Of books, "The Art
Of the Chinese Potter" by r. l..
Hobson and A. l.. Hetherington.
This volume costs fifty dollars
but while not everyone can follow
Mrs. Van D. as lar as this, the
book prize idea is really a blessing
for the woman who wants to make
a little money go a long way in
satisfaction. as books are really
the most economical gifts.
To women, matrons and debs,
and to men who like to read verse
now and then, she gives the de-
lightful translations OF Chinese
poetry. by Arthur Valley. Just as
Nah Jong, the oldest game of the
Orient, has become the most mod
ern amusement of the West, so the
ancient poems OF China, as Valley
translates them, appear strangely
modern-although you can almost
see the Dragons and hear the East
Wind in them. VALLEY can take a
poem of the. Han Dynasty (206
B. c. to 220 A. d. and translate
1t so that the song Of love and war
OF the old poet sounds as If 1t were
written two thousand years later,
Three volumes of Valleys charms
ing translations have been publish-
ed: "170 Chinese Poems" lin two
editions, one popular-priced), "More

THIEVES ENTER
ISERMANN'S AGAIN
Burglar Shinnies Up East
Side Pipe and Ransacks
the Premises.
LEAVES FOOTPRINTS

1t looked as if the cat came back
when Isermann brothers discovered
that there had been burglar in their
place over the weekend The burglar
operated in just the same way as did
the one of a couple of years back, with
the difference that he did not get
away with anything except his skin.
Two years ago the store was robbed,
the burglar making his way up pipe
at the rear of the building.
Meissner Gets Prints.
On his latest trip the thief climbed
a pipe on the east side of the store
building and went through window.
He had ransacked the drawers thor
oughly but nothing appeared to be
missing. Footprints were found in the
soft mud without, and within there
were fingerprints on the cash box.
Secretary of Police Emil F. Meiss-
ner took prints from the box, and
these will be checked with fngerprints
now on file in the Office, as it is be-
lieved that possibly one of those who
has now a criminal record here may
be responsible for the entry.

CITY LIQUOR Law
WINS IN COURT
Mrs. Zdanowicz Loses IN
Home-brew Case-Fined
$3.50 and Costs.
MAY APPEAL CASE
Lawyers Anxious to Test the
Validity of Ordinance in
Higher Court.

This morning in the municipal court
the case of the city VS.. Apolonia
Zdanowicz, charged with unlawful pos
session of home brew, came up for
trial before Judge Slater. The place
was inspected by Sergeant Kramer and
his squad, and the home brew taken
for testing purposes found to con-
tain more than the legal percentage
of alcohol.
But the interesting part of the case
was not the small quantity OF home
brew, but the testing out of the city
ordinance enforcing the prohibition
law, and incidentally diverting fines
collected into the city treasury.
Wants Action Dismissed.
Sergeant Kramer gave testimony In
the case, and it was stipulated between
counsel that the home brew contained
more than one-half of one per cent of
alcohol, making it unnecessary to call
the city chemist.
City Attorney C. E. Randall repre-
scented the city in the prosecution
of the case, and Attorney John F.
Kuehnl the defendant.
The defense attorney moved that
the action be dismissed on the grounds
that the ordinance was invalid and un-
constitutional, that it diverted funds
from the school funds, and was leg
islating upon a state question, and
conferred greater legislation upon the
court than it had by proving more
than six months imprisonment and
more than 500 fine as penalty for
violating the ordinance.
Judge Denies Motion.
City Attorney Randall maintained
that the city ordinance was drawn up
in the language of the state law, which
the same way.
Judge Slater denied the motion of
the defense, found Apolonia zdano-
wicz guilty and imposed fine of 500
and costs or thirty days. He added
that he would not mind seeing an APP
peal taken and the validity Of the or
dinance tested. Twenty days stay Of
execution was granted, pending a pos
sible appeal by the defense.
Louis Greenwald, 673 Jenne street,
who had been spectator of Mrs.
Zdanowicz case, pleaded guilty to a
similar charge of possession of home
brew and was fined 500 and costs. ,
Squad Finds Moon.
Another sponge squad under Ser
geant Kirsch made raid on Monday
night on the place Of Ed, .Pileski, So
South Rowland avenue. With the SER
geant were Police officers O'Hare,
Studer and Rohde. Three-fourths of
pint of moon was found in the mid
die rear room.
While making an inspection at 495
Elizabeth street, John Tereseck inter-
fered with the work of the police and
was arrested on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. He was fined SIS and
costs in the municipal court this
morning.

Kenosha County Secures
S23,46O for Maintenance
of State Highways.
CITY Is GRANTED S156O
For First Time in History Ke-
nosha Is Granted Allowance
for Maintenance of Roads.

County Highway Commissioner John
F. Herzog was notified this morning
that Kenosha county has available for
the maintenance of the state trunk
highway system located in this county
the sum of $23,460, this being the
amount allotted for the year 1924. This
is an increase over the amount alloted
in previous years showing the growth
Of the state trunk highway system in
Kenosha county.
This sum is computed on 1872 miles
maintained during the year 1924 at
the rate of $500 mile. The amount
will be paid to Kenosha. county on
monthly acquisitions to the state high
way commission as expenditures are
incurred in maintaining the state
trunk highway system in accordance
with the directions, specifications and
regulations made for such malnte-
nance by the commission.
City Also Allowed Sum.
For the first time in the history of
state trunk highway system, the city
of Kenosha was also allotted sum for
the maintenance of that part of the
state trunk system which is located
within the limits of the city Of Ke-
nosha. The city of Kenosha has been
allowed $3.50 based on 81 miles 10
Gated within the city. This amour:
will be paid over to the city treasurer
upon the submitting of the proper
forms to meet the state laws.
These sums represent part of Ke-
nosha and Kenosha county's shares OF
the moneys paid into the treasury OF
the state for automobile licenses.
Last year Kenosha county received
$4,000 for maintenance of state trunk
highways in the county. The increase
is accounted for by reason of the fac
that the Burlington road and several
other stretches of highway have been
added to the state trunk system with
result that Kenosha county draws
$500 mile for maintenance for these
this year. The total mileage added
was nearly twenty miles.

China has, of course, inspired
many American poets. There is
Eunice Tietjens's "Profiles from
China"-the result of living there
which pictures wildly the ancient

there are the lovely Chinese poems
in Arthur Dawson Ficke's "out of

With China, the home Of Nah

d. has gone on with her prize ideas
until she covers the whole Of that
vast, mysterious and fascinating
world. the Orient. She goes to
Japan for the first modern ia

India contributes that splendid

she has found books that will sure
