Sally frowned Involuntary, then
shrugged and continued her march
toward the house. Dad settled back
against the fence and resumed his
musing. Sally would be mighty dis
appointed If she did not get to the
train tomorrow; she was all packed

he'd never been on a horse before.
But he did pretty well, although the

Coming home he nearly fell off

he says he's going out riding to-

though; he'll be too lame to move. -
Dad nodded with understanding.
Any dude would be too lame to move
under equal circumstances. Yet he
was not entirely certain that the
Wreck would fail to move, even
though too lame; for he had way

own rules.

that 1t was not very close, after all.
So far as he and Ma were concerned
that made no difference. But Sally

Sally was quite satisfied with tbs
range country, provided she was
not quarantined there.
1t was not a very lrage ranch

GIRLS SCREAMS
CAUSE ARREST
Fl. Steinback and w. De-
teri Rode Around With
Girl for Hours.
COME INTO COURT
Two Men Are Charged with
Disorderly Conduct; Barbara
Tinus Complainant.

High soprano screams, the kind you
got over the radio from a grand opera
prima donna when the volume isn't
there, pierced the darkness of 2:15
o'clock this morning Police officer
Watson travelling his beat heard the
screams, and ran for all he was worth
in their direction, locating a woman
at the corner of Bronson street and
North Sheridan road. He had heard
the screams three blocks away.
Meanwhile residents in the neigh
borhood of that corner had sent in a
call so police headquarters, so that
Captain Clausen and Police Officers
Tusler and Pecan arrived shortly after.
The girl was Barbara Tinus, some
times known as Barbara Schultz, age
%, of 1923 North Sheridan road, who
is known to the police as a person
who is not exactly high-brow or
serious minded.
Tells of Two Men.
Barbara told the police that she was
out in taxi-cab with Harry Steinbach
and that when she got to the corner
where she was found by the police
later, neither the taxi driver nor Stein
bach would let her go. She said they
pulled her back to the cab and pulled
her clothes off of her.
The police secuted around and found
the two men at the Northwestern sta
ton. Harry Steinbach, %, of 45S
Linden street, was arrested on the
charge of disorderly conduct and Will
liam Detert, %, of 766 Pearl street,
taxi driver, was arrested on the same
charge. The two men were at first
charged with assault and battery, but
in view of the girls condition and
possible culpability, the minor charge
was preferred.
"Steinbach and the girl had appar-
emily had something to drink that was
stronger than water" the police re-
port briefly stated.
Just Abiding Around.
Steinbach told the police that the
to get away before they parted and
that this started the physical struggle
which resulted in her screams and the
summoning of the police.
Detert said that the two, Steinbach
and the girl, had been riding around
from $3.50 p. m. on. He said they
stopped for an hour or so at Krisor's
saloon while he made other calls, but
that from 1880 until after two o'clock
they rode @ound in the taxi cab
Harry Steinbach pleaded guilty and
was fined So and costs when charged
with disorderly conduct in the NUM-
cipal court this morning. William
Detert pleaded not guilty and his
case was set for a future hearing.

CHARITY CHEST
GAINING GROUND
Half the Cities of the Coun-
try Have a Community
Chest Now.


A recent bulletin issued by the
American Association for Community
Organization states that approximate
ly so per cent of the American cities
having population of $4,000 and more
now operate under the single campaign
joint financing scheme which is used
in Kenosha under the Kenosha Com
munity Chest Association. These cities
raise about $5O,Ooo,OOo annually to
carry on the philanthropies in 200
American cities.
Kenosha stands out as leader in
the movement and has the distinction
of having installed system which
gives everyone an opportunity to aid
according to his or her wage earning
ability.
OuiErowta Of War.
The Community Chest scheme has
been operative for about seven years,
and is natural outgrowth of the war
chest idea although it has no relation
to it in most cities. OF the cities hav-
ing population of $4,000 and over,
there are % in United States. Seven
ty-five per cent of these or 81 now en-
ploy the federation plan. Thirty cities
ranging in population from 100000 to
100000 are cities out Of possible AZ
cities of like size. Fifty per cent of
the American cities ranging between
$4,000 and 100000 population have one
campaign year
Keno3da is one Of the progressive so
cities whose population is over $4,000
but not yet $4,000 which has adopted
the federation plan for the last two
years. In this group, there are 142
cities, of which 35 per cent are at
present utilizing the benefits of joint
financing.
Smaller Cities Lead
One assumes that the chest idea'
was utilized by the larger cities first,
and was then adopted by the adjacent
smaller cities. New York and Chica-
go are two of the seven cities in that
classification that have not yet adopt
ed the plan, although the Chicago
Board of Commerce survey indicates
that chest may be organized there.
Philadelphia, Cleveland, st. Louis,
Denver, Los Angeles and Detroit, en-
ploy the chest method.
There are 459 cities with populations
between 10000 and $4,000. Forty-one
of these are active chest cities while
united efforts for philanthropy and
services as found in five places incor
porated with less than 10000 popula
ton.
