START WAR ON
GRADE CROSSINGS
Council Meets Today to
Hear Report of Expert
on Question.
HAS MADE SURVEY

Kenosha's war on grade crossings
of railways within the city limits was
renewed this afternoon when the city
council at a committee meeting heard
the report of w. E. Hudson, transpor-
tation engineer, who has just COM
pleted a survey of transportation con-
ditions in Kenosha, and took steps
to place before the Northwestern Rail-
way Company and the state railroad
commission new application for the
elevation of tracks in Kenosha.
Engineer Hudson is part of the
force CT City Palmer Harland Barth-
olomew and his survey of the trans
portation system is part of the
work done in drafting comprehen-
sive city plan for future development
of Kenosha. He returned to KeKnosha
on Wednesday to finish his inyestiga-
ton and appeared before the council
this afternoon to present his report,
Need of Elevation Shown.
This report showed the need of
track elevation in Kenosha and sug-
gested changes which should be made
in the original plan for elevation au-
thorized by the railroad commission
before the war and postponed because
of the needs of war days. He urges
that any new plan for track eleva-
ton in Kenosha take into considera-
ton the major street plan which has
been adopted here.
In launching the new move for track
elevation the city council was aware
of the recent statement made here by
w. H. Finley, president of the North
western Railway Company, to the eff
feet that the company would be glad
to carry on such improvements if funds
were available but that they were now
straining their financial resources in
ming condition and that such improve
ments as track elevation could hard
ly be considered at the present time,
Will Revive Question.
The council plans, however, to re-
new the appeal of the city for track
elevation in order that this city may
be one of the first to have this i'm
provement when the RAILROAD COM
mission decides that the company is
in a condition to stand such an ex-
pense. During the past year the num-
Der of accidents occurring at railway
crossings in Kenosha caused the
launching of a movement amng the
fraternal and civic organizations Of
the city, petitioning the council to de-
mand elevation of tracks in Kenosha
Engineer Hudson's report also went
into the question of the shipping ia
cilities needed for the future growth
of Kenosha, both regarding railways
and the Kenosha harbor. 1t mapped
out plan for development whereby
KenoslE could provide shipping facil-
tiles both by land and wafer to meet
the expected industrial growth of the
city.

Young Man Seeks
His Mother Here

Separated from his mother since he
was four months old, Harry Rogers,
Jr., dental student at Northwestern
university, today came to Kenosha to
seek his mother, whose name is be-
lieved to be Mrs. Clara Huston, and
who is believed to have been engaged
in millinery work here and Chicago
until about 1915. He knows nothing
about her except she has a blonde
complexion. She would be about 40
years old, if living.
When four months old, Rogers was
taken into the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Rogers, ST., and lived at Bat
tie Greek, Mich. When eight years old
he was sent to the Michigan state or
phanage as three children were born
to the Rogers after they took him in
and they no longer desired to keep
him. They did not legally adopt him.
Anyone having information about
Mrs. Huston should communicate with
the Kenosha News.

A resolution in favor of immediate
congressional action of the proposition
of new postoffice for Kenosha will
be drawn by the legislative committee
Of the Kenosha Retailers association,
and forwarded Immediately to Wash
ington. The action was taken last
night at the regular monthly meeting
and dinner of the organization held In
Retailers hall.
A letter from Jessel Whyte, chair
man of the citizens committee, form
ed to push the project through, was
read. Mr.. Whyte outlined briefly the
need of the new building. The pres
emit postoffice, he declared, is block
ing the widening of Market street
which is the next step in the civic
center program.
The story of the manufacture Of
biological products as worked out by
the United States Standard Products
Co., of Woodwork, was told by DR..
G. r. Hixon, who is in charge of the
laboratory work. G. L. Brooks, finan-
cial manager of the concern was also
a guest of the Retailers.
DIR. Hixon stated that the plant To-
Gated in the western part of the coun-
ty is one Of six of its kind in the
country These. plans supply all Of
the serums and vaccines for the use
of the medical profession.
The plant is located out in the coun-
try to get away from all dust and con-
tamination, for the doctor added, three
fourths of all the work done is SIM
ply precautionary. He briefly outlined
the growth of the industry from the
time when two German scientists in
1890 discovered that the blood of a
white mouse which had been .immuniz-
ed to diphtheria, would work COM
plete immunity in another mouse.
Horses are used today he said, be-
cause of their size and because they
are naturally clean animals. Vaccine
is injected into the horse until a COM
plete immunity has been established.
Then from two to two and one-half
gallons of blood are drawn from the
horse and this blood scientifically
treated until at last the clear serums
are evolved.

STAGE ALL SET
FOR PRIMARY
Nominees for Many Offices
to be Named at Primary
Election Tuesday.
FEW CLOSE RACES
No Contest Looms Up for
the Places on Tickets
for Councilman.

The stage is all set for the primary
election which is to be held In Keno
sha tomorrow to name the candidates
for city offices for the coming spring
election. Because of the fact that
there are few races for places on the
ticket little interest has been evidenc-
ed in the election. Recently, how
ever, the information that the pri-
mary would serve as a registration
day for the general elections in the
fall has brought more interest in the
race and gives a possibility that a
larger vote than was at first expected
may be cast on Tuesday
The election is also interesting in
that it opens up the new precincts in
the second and fourth wards which
have been created 1t the request of
the voters. The second ward has been
divided into two precincts, the voting
place for Precinct A being the Office
Of the Green Ridge cemetery, and that
of Precinct B the Lincoln school; the
fourth ward has been divided into two
precincts, the voting place Of Pre-
cinct A being the Frank school and
of Precinct B the Mckinley school.
There is really only one primary
race on in the election tomorrow in
asmuch as there are only three can
didates for one Office, that Of county
supervisor from the fourth ward
where John B. Cook is seeking re-
election, and Arthur M. Neergaard and
George Strangberg are also seeking q
place on the ticket. One Of the three
will be eliminated by the primary.
There are two candidates for several
other offices, but the primary will
eliminate neither in such cases
There is lively contest on in sew
eral Of these cases to make as good
showing as possible.
Heading the ticket is the names OF
the candidates for councilmen, three
of whom are to be named. w. H. Al
ford, H. e. Barden and John Burns
all members of the present council
seeking reelection. There are nc
other candidates.
There is noticeable absence OF
candidates for several places on the
school board, there being no candi-
dates in the race in the sixth, seventh
and eighth wards. 1t is anticipated
that the names of candidates will be
written in in these wards.
A complete list of the candidates
who are seeking place on the ballot
is printed elsewhere in this edition.
