Engineer Says That
Primer is not Ch0ker

Several weeks ago a friend who
is an experienced motorist asked me
if a primer and choker wasn't much
the same sort of a Device" Mr.. r.
d. Mcintosh, Experimental Engineer
and a recognized authority an auto
motive equipment stated recently.
mAnd," he went on to say, "Subse-
quent investigation soon convinced
me that there is considerable con-
fusion even among automobile men
about these devices.
"a fundamental fact is that cold al
ways condenses vapor. Your carbu-
rator mixes air and gas into vapor
which is drawn into your cylinders.
In fall and winter this vapor, strik-
ing the cold walls of your manifold
Immediately condenses back into liq-
uid gas which will not fire or ex-
plode.
"Unquestionably, a choker aids in
starting, but excessive use is detri-
mental. 1t is likely to do real harm
by letting an excessive amount Of
gasoline be pulled into the cylinders
where it seeps down past the pistons
and dilutes the crank case oil. To
start cold motor in mid-winter. a
motorist needs to shoot serated or
vaporized gasoline right into the CYL
inders, Then the spark has a quickly
combustible mixture to fire.
"If your carburaGor was adjusted or
set with a rich enough mixture to do
this in cold weather, the moment your
motor starts the mixture would be
too rich to run on. A Primer is like
an atomizer such as you use to spray
your throat. The plunger on the dash
pulls gasoline from the gas line and
forces it through a tip which ato-
mixes it. The result is instant start
ing, with saving of the battery at the
very time when cold weather makes
batteries least efficient and when re-
stricted travel provides minimum re-
charging"

for Paving.
BOOST HUMANE FUNb
Humane Officers Fund Raised
to Old Level: $500 for West
KenOsha County Fair.

Kenosha county's paving program
for the season of 1926 was definitely
settled today when the county board
of supervisors by vote of IA to 2
passed the $360,000 bond issue needed
to carry out the paving of IA miles Of
highway in the county next season.
The road to be paved is nine miles of
the Silverlake-Twin Lakes road south
from the Geneva road intersection, an
extension of the Somers road paving
for two miles, and an extension Of the
paving on the Burlington road for
three miles.
Supervisors Filben and Brooks voted
against the bond issue. All the re-
naming supervisors present at the
meeting voted aye.
The board also passed q resolution
providing for the levy of taxes for this
year to pay the interest on this bond
issue, the sum amounting to $4,000.
Drop Out of State Fair.
BY an almost unanimous vote the
board decided not to have Kenosha
county booth at the state fair in 1926.
By almost the same vote it was de-
cided to appropriate $500 for the West
Kenosha County Fair association.
Kenosha county's appropriation for
humane work during the coming year
was doubled over last year when
the board by an unanimous vote APP
propriated $500 for the work of Coun-
ty Humane Officer J. H.. Karnas, Last
year the appropriation was $3.50. Sew
eral years ago, however, the appropri-
alton was annually $500 and the board
decided to return to the figures of the
past.
Humane officer Karnes appeared be-
fore the board and presented his re-
port showing the large amount Of work
which he has done to protect the ami
mails of the county. The boost In the
appropriation came as a recognition of
his efficient services.
Praised by state Official.
A communication was read to the
board from A. E. Frederick, state hui
name agent, in which the latter highly
praised Humane Officer Karnes, stat
ing that there certainly was no better
humane officer in the state than he has
proved to be for many years past, The
report presented by officer Karnes,
which has been published previously,
was received and placed on Ale.
A petition asking for aid for the
building of the Riley bridge was re-
cceived and reported to the proper
committee.
The county board accepted the inyi-
tation to attend the ceremonies of lay
ing of the cornerstone of the new high

MYSTERY Turks
in MANS DEATH
Me Dokich Died Sunday
Afternoon in Hospital
from Injury.
MET WITH FOUL PLAY?
Man Found Unconscious in
Alley with Big Hole in Head;
From Unknown Cause.

Death put a. new significance on a
mystery which has baffled the police
for the past two weeks when Me
Dokich, also known as Mic Concovitch,
aged about 45 years, died Sunday
from a fractured skull, an injury
from which he was found suffering
while lying in store front on the
night of Sunday, November the 9th.
What investigation has been made IN
to the affair has failed to show
whether Dokich was the victim of
foul play or whether he fell, injuring
himself, or was hurled to the paving
by vampire" automobile.
I With his death Sunday new inter-
est was put into the probe with a
possibility that a. rigorous investiga-
tion into the affair will be made.
Found Bleeding on Street.
Very little has been added to the
meagre details of the affair which
were secured by Police officer Charles
Ambelang when he found the man and
hurried him to the hospital for treat
ment. Policeman Ambelang on Sun
day evening, November the 9th, was
travelling his beat on the east side
| of Main street between Pearl and
Market street, when two women re-
ported to him that they had passed
man, staggering from one side of the
sidewalk to the other and presumably
suffering from a deep cut in his head.
A few steps further officer Ambe-
lang came upon the man, lying in the
opening of store.
"Just let me Sleep" was all he
would say to questions put to him.
The police ambulance was called
and the man was hurried to the Keno
sha hospital where it was found that
he was suffering from fractured
skull. He had revived consciousness
but had told those in attendance upon
him that he did not know what hap
pened to him. He appeared to be on
the way to recovery when he suffered
relapse on Saturday, dying Sunday
afternoon, without throwing any more
light on the mystery.
Had Been at Schlitz Hall.
Patrolman Ambelang learned thru
his investigation that the man had
been at Schlitz hall on North Main
street, only a short time before he
was found bleeding in the stirway.
There he had purchased an ice cream
cone for a friend and had left the
hall. Whether he was attacked while
walking across the bridge or fell in
juring himself is unknown.
Prior to his injury Dokich had been
an employee at the American Brass
company and had made his home at
e65 Garden street. He had come to
America a few years ago and had
been known as an industrious worw-
man. It is said that he has wife and
several children in the old country.
When he was found 1925 were
found in his pocket, this practically
destroying any theory of robbery.
He had no funds and had been kept
at the hospital as city charge.
The body was taken to the Crossin
Mortuary on wisconsin street. An
nouncement of the funeral services
will be made later pending the out
come of investigation and the posi-
bility of a coroner's inquest.

TEST OUT NEW
AMENDMENTS
Test Suits Started to Test
Constitutionality of
State Amendments.
FOREST ACT FIRST

Madison, Wis. Test suits in the
state supreme court to determine with
out question the constitutionality of
the three constitutional amendments
adopted at the November election are
being planned and will be filed rwithin
the next few months, it was learned
from state legal authorities today.
Probably the first suit to be filed
will be the one to test the constitu-
tionality and obtain Interpretation of
the forest amendment. State high
way commission officials will insti-
tute this suit, under present plans, in
move to determine for certain
whether the amendment will handicap
the states highway program by limit
ing appropriations.
It was also learned today that sew
eral other points have been raised re-
garding the validity of the forestry
amendment which may result in knock
ing out the amendment entirely. Inn
proper form of the amendment is one
of the questions. 1t also is claimed
by some that the heading of the bill
and the body of the measure do not
conform to the constitutional require
ments on hits subject.
The attorney generals office for
some time has been conducting an in
vestigation of the forestry amendment
particularly it is stated 1t probably
will defend the highway commission
in it's contention that the amendment
does not apply to highway funds but
only to forestry appropriations.
1t also is learned that the state ref
erence library has conducted an inves-
tigation of the amendment and found
that the working of the statute is am
biguous.
Should the supreme court sustain
reports that the forestry amendment
applies to and limits highway appro-
priations, it is reliably reported that
an attack. upon the complete consti-
tutionality of the measure will then
be launched with a view of declaring
| the entire act void.
Home Rule Act Next.
/ The home rule amendment also will
be the subject of proceedings soon to
determine upon various phases of its
application and to obtain an interpre-
taIiOn OF the measure.
| The suits to test the amendments
will be in the nature of friendly ac-
| tions but on the outcome will deter
mine much of the future activities
under the measures.
| Reports that the forestry amend
ment also applies to highway apro-
priations probably will result in con-
siderable opposition to any program
for putting the amendment into eff
feet in the next legislature, officials
say. Because of this, an Interpretation
by the supreme court probably will be
sought before the legislature convenes
or early in the session to prevent any
misunderstanding. With TECHNICAL
ties out Of the way, an elaborate for
estry program would then be put thru
the legislative body without difficulty,
it is believed.

Tonto forest has been closed to
campers until further notice by T. T.
Swift, the forest supervisor who is
sued a bulletin saying this course was
taken because of no rain and high
winds making the fire hazard acute.
Owing to practically no rainfall
during the summer the fire hazard
has reached an acute stage and fire
once started together with high winds
means disaster. In order to use every
precaution and safeguard the property
of the public the Tonto national forest
is closed to camping and hunting from

where campers are found camping at
places other than mentioned above.
Campers must be sure their fires are
dead out and then bury them. Smok-

KANSAS CITY STOCK
YARD REPORT
September %, 1924
By CHAS. NJ. PIPKIN
Correspondent

Though cattle receipts were liberal
the market held steady at last weeks
decline. Less dullness was evident in
the trade and judging from the num-
Der of country buyers here there will
be better demand for stockers and
feeders this week. Fed cattle were
scarce and found a ready outlet. Hog
prices were quoted up 10 to Is cents,
and with the strength late last week
the market is 20 to 25 cents above last
weeks low point. Sheep receipts were
the largest of the season.
Though prices for fat cattle were
not quotably changed from last
weeks closing level, there was bet
ter feeling in the trade. Killers were
buying more freely and there was a
good demand on shipping orers. Good
to choice fed steers were offered less
freely and some cattle at SO to 1915
would not have brought the price late
last week. Indications are that re-
ceipts later this week will not equal
those of week ago, and higher prices
are expected before the week end.
Grass fat cattle continued in liberal
supply and quality remained plain.
Some shipments were the cleanup Of
pastures. Straight grass steers sold
up to $7.75 and wintered steers up to
$3.50. Cows and heifers were steady
Packers continued to take Gamers and
cutters freely. Calves were steady.
