Stability Laid to
Integrity of People

Geneva.-Poland, like Austria and
Hungary, is struggling with the prob
lem of financial reconstruction and,
according to Antoine Wieniawski, the
Polish member of the permanent eco
nomic advisory committee of the
League of Nations, is slowly winning
through the united and patriotic eff
forts of the people and government.
Mr.. Wieniawski emphasized first of
all that Bolshevism has no chance in
his country. The danger period of
1920, when Bolshevik propaganda
was at it's height, had definitely
passed, in his opinion. At the end
of last year it took 100000 Polish
marks to buy dollar and the en-
tire economic life of the nation was
threatened. A big deficit appeared in
the budget. Applying drastic rene
dies, the government decided to fix
the payment of all taxes in gold
francs. This system was inaugurated
on the first of the year and is work
ing we'll, he said. Moreover a tax on
fortunes is expected to yield AGO.
100000 gold francs-by the end of 1925.
Another step to be taken soon will be
the creation of a bank issue based
on the same principle Jas the Aus
trian bank arranged by the League of
Nations.
Mr.. Wieniawsh went on: eve
have roughly stabilized the Polish
mark at 100000 to the dollar. 1t is
estimated that the Polish people,
through fear of the further deprecia-
tien of the local currency. have put
aside gold to the value of 10000, 900
but their confidence being restored,
they are now beginning to sell their
dollars and have actually offered the
state $12,000.000 gold which the state
has purchased at the prevailing rate
of exchange. Our economic life is
slowly but surely adjusting itself in q
healthful manner"

SHERIFF FINDS
BRIGHTON MOON
Pabst Raids Wagner Saloon
Friday Night and Gets
Some Hooch.
DANCE NEXT DOOR

The moon hung high and the moon
hung low over the little town of
Brighton Friday night. Overhead the
great round lantern of the moon up
high smiled down on the follies and
foibles of men, and below, the moon,
red moon, lit up the interiors OF the
denizens of the Wagner saloon.
There was a crowd at Brighton Fri
day evening. A dance was in full
swing just two doors from Wagner's.
Young people had congregated there
from Racine and Kenosha and other
places near and far away.
Sheriff Pabst had received COM
plants about the booze vending at
Brighton at such times, and SO Fri
day evening he accompanied by I'm
dersheriff Joseph Knipfer went out to
give the place the once-over. 1t was
fine night.
"The moon like flower
In Heavens high bower
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night"
Call it "Crab Orchard"
The plum trees were in blossom
along the mOonllC way, anu lHe SOW~
slips filled the marshy places, but the
sheriff and his aide were not out to
pick flowers.
There was such a crowd of young
men swarming into the doors Of the
Wagner saloon, that the sheriff and
undersheriff slipped in through the
ranks without being observed. A pint
bottle of hooch was back Of the bar
but there were only couple of ounce
es left in. Wagner came running in
hurriedly to wait on trade. He col
lided with the sheriff, and in his hand
was a bottle which he had just gone
to fetch. 1t was a full bottle of the
same stuff.
On the label was the word "Crab
Orchard" and there were various
printed words telling that the con-
tents were stem years cd" and that
it was distilled under federal permit,
etc, etc, some of the 'sayey" of the
booze-runner and booze vender.
"Crab Orchard" is said to be one
of the worst kiy is of bootlegger
hooch. Wagner wa ordered to appear
in court this morning to answer the
charge of unlawful possession of the
poison"

Swans and Geese to be
Placed On Lincoln
Park Lagoon.
REQUIRE LITTLE CARE
Carlson Says Kenosha Has
Ideal Location in Which to-
Gradually Develop Zoo.

A pair of swans, and flock of geese
are to be Launched" on the Lincoln
park lagoon within the next few weeks,
it was announced today by F. A. Carl
son, director of parks for the city.
From this modest beginning it is
hoped that Kenosha's zoo will grow,
Mr.. Carlson said.
Negotiations are now under way
with Edward H. Bean, director of the
Milwaukee Zoo for the purchase of
the birds. The water foul, it is point
ed out, will require very little care
this summer, and next winter can De
placed in small quarters which can be
built for them.
Commenting on the statement made
last Monday by E. H. Wenzel, COVER
nor Of the. 9th district of Optimists,
that Kenosha is now large to support
zoo, Mr.. Carlson said that he had
been of the same opinion for several
months. .
Park Ideal Location.
Mr.. Carlson stated that Lincoln park
is an ideal location for geological
garden. There is a space of about
six acres which can be allotted for the
gradual expansion of the zoo, he said
Rome wasn't build in dsS, and
neither is a geological garden. Mil
waukee, which, under the direction OF
Mr.. Bean, has developed one of the
finest zoo properties in the United
States, has been at it for more than
10 years.
In Lincoln park there is bed OF
an old stream which Mr.. Carlson plans
later to develope as a pond for water
birds. The stream has now been di-
verified into the lagoon and the bed
is dry. A few changes, however, can
be made which will make Of it an ideal
pool.
The proposed zoo site, containing
the six acres, is located to the north
of the lagoon, between Rowland av-
enue and Lester streets Here build
ings could be constructed for the
housing of the animals as the zoe
grows, and walks and drives laid out
All-Year Attraction.
Mr.. Carlson called attention to the
fact that a zoo is an all-year attrac-
tion. Milwaukee's experience has
been that even during the coolest win.
ter weather, hundreds of persons visit
the zoo every week. The buildings
which are kept at tropical heat, make
a pleasant diversion from the cold out.
doors or the picture shows. The chill.
dren particularly, show the keenest in.
terest in watching the animals, from
which they are safely protected by
stout steel bars.
On summer Sundays, it is estimated
that between $4,000 and 10000 per-
sons visit the geological gardens. The
zoo there has been fostered by FOOL
ogical society, with some assistance
from the city. City officials declare
that it now ranks among the best
public recreational attractions. Mr.
Carlson recommends the formation Of
similar organization here in Ke
nosha, composed of animal lovers.

EGYPT's WONDER.

Alexandria t-ankh-Amen dead
was the startling text of message
from a London newspaper to its cor
respondent here a few days ago. In
the newspaper vernacular this is true,
for it meant that the long reign of
the Pharaoh mummy in the days news
is over,
There may be faint renewal of
world interest when the gilded case is
opened and the mummy x-rayed next
winter, but with the closing of the
official visiting period to the tomb the
Vale of Luxor has lapsed into sum
mer idleness and silence, and Tut
sleeps again.

MAN RECOVERING
John J. Baum, 20, Attempts
Suicide With Razor
Late Friday.
DESPONDENCY CAUSE
Barricades Himself in Room :
Is Discovered by Daughter,
Alarmed by Groans.

Barricading himself in the bedroom
at his home at 653 Newell street,
John Baum, 70-years- attempted
suicide yesterday afternoon by slash
ing his throat with a razor. He was
respondent over what he believed to
be an incurable malady.
Bleeding profusely from the wound,
he was rushed Immediately to the
Kenosha hospital where he is fight
ing to live. Physicians say that
he has better than an even chance.
Examination showed that although
the cash was more than inches long,
it was superficial and that while many
veins were cut, the vital arteries were
missed by the thickness of sheet
of paper.
According to statements made to
Emil Meissner, secretary of police, by
Mrs. Baum, her husband had been in
i'll health for the past nine months.
An operation was performed at that
time to relieve an abdominal trouble.
The wound healed and Mr.. Baum was
apparently again in the best of health,
Old Trouble Returns.
Last Monday, against the advice Of
the women folks, he lifted a keg of
iron in the back yard. AS a result of
the strain, the wound was torn open,
and since then, he is said to have suf-
fered severe pain.
He rose as usual yesterday morning
but shortly before noon went to his
bedroom to rest. He was sleeping at
lunch time, and Mrs. Baum thought
best not to disturb his rest. Early in
the afternoon, she left the home to do
some errands down town.
Mrs. Ray M. Lopez, daughter, call
her father after he awoke and asked
him if he cared for any lunch. He said
that he did not, and closed the door,
An hour later she heard him groaning
as though in agony.
Finds Door Barricaded.
Attempting to enter the room, Mrs.
Lopez found that the door had been
barricaded. She called to her father,
and asked him to turn the lock. Fail
ing to get q response she began plead
ing. 1t was then that the door yielded,
and she saw her father lying PROSTATE
on the floor, blood oozing from an
ugly cash in his throat.
BY his side, lay an open razor. Mr.
Baum was still conscious and allowed
his daughter to help him onto the bed.
Ripping up bed sheet, she made
bandages with which she hurriedly
bound the wound.
Investigation showed that before
slashing his throat, Mr.. Baum had
pushed a chair and other furniture
against the door. He was holding with
his loot leg of the chair, the back
of which was locked under the door
knob.
Rushing from the house, she sum-
moned Mrs. Thomas HOLMAN, who
lives next door, a: 629 Newell street.
Mrs. HOLMAN called DR.. j. o. Nc
Cracker and DR.. P. P. N. Jorgensen.
Mrs. Baum arrived in time to see the
physicians enter the home.
Rushed To Hospital.
Upon arrival at the home, the ply
sicians Immediately summoned the
Hansen ambulance and rushed Mr.,
Baum onto the operating table at the
Kenosha hospital. After being thor
pughly disinfected the wound was
sewed up and bandaged.
1t was reported today that the pa,
tents condition is improving, and un-
less complications arise, it is believed
that he will live.

Water Will Cover Area Being
 Explored

Washington, Dec 8, -- The opening of the big Wilson Dam al Muscle Shoals during 1925 will blot out a laboratory of science.
 Under tha direction Of nr, ]. Walter Fewkes, chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology Of the Smithsonian Institution, Gerard Fowke, a trained scientific worker, has been exploring Indian mounds Bt Muscle Shoals that will he coy- cred with water, when the big WiI- son Dam Is put into commission. The relies which MT. Fowke found are being packed up 10 be sent 10 the institution for study. Just what Indian tribe they belonged 10, re- mains 10 be determined,
 The Tennessee Valley Historical society invited Dr. Fowkes 10 have the mounds explored and he sent MT. Fowke to eNcayate them at the mouth of Town Creek, Colbert County, Alabama, some two months ago. pr. Fewkes also made q trip 10 the point recently and brought hack with him to Washington some oH the scientific finds, They include copper ornaments, beads and & species of brestplate, showing, Doc tor Fewkes said, that the Indians to whom they belonged prlzed that metal highly.
 Mr. Fowke took two representa- tive mounds and found that one was a large mound Of mussel shells and the other a burial mound. The countless shells Of mussels, which the Indians apparently took from the Tennessee river, are remains Of their feasts. With variation In the spelling pr. FeTkes explained, the fresh water mussels in that river gave thelr name 10 Muscle Shoals
 Tha debris usually found in au Indian village was encountered in 3he .mussel mound, interspersed with flint heads, knives. fragments ot pottery and stones used in cook Ing. Barbecue holes for cooking animals in were located.
 Mir. Fowke, In report recently submitted to Dr. Fewkes, said many skeletons were unearthed, often with big stones weighing 20 10 $ pounds placed upon them. On account Of the cotton cultivation he was unable 10 give the exact height of the mound, but estimated 1t at nine feet. Traces Of q village and Of fire used to cook the mus sels were found in the vicinity.
