tectives.

Move to Make Candidates
Declare Stand Regard
ing Coolidge.
NOT ABLE TO DODGE
Question TO Be Put to Candi
dates in Such a Way They
Will Be Unable to Dodge.

Candidates who are seeking places
on the Republican ticket for county or
district offices from Kenosha may be
forced to tell the voters of the district
and county whether they are for the
Coolidge administration or whether
they back the LaFollette movement.
This was the bombshell thrown into
the political situation here today when
it became known that questionnaires
would probably be mailed to all can
didates seeking a place on the Re
publican ticket forcing them "off the
fence" on this question. While no &C
tual QUESTIONABLE has yet been mailed
it is understood that steps have been
taken to prepare such document and
to send it to the candidates in time to
have the petitions clearly defined be-
fore the primary election on September
the End
The Kenosha County Coolidge Club
through it's officials stated today that
such a plan was being considered and
that steps were being taken now to
formulate a QUESTIONABLE so that
candidate could not dodge the issue by
failing to answer. A definite an
nouncement regarding the action of
this club will be made within few
days.
at is only fsir that the voters know
where the candidates stand" declared
one candidate this morning, who stat
ed that he would be glad to state his
stand on the question. "All of these
candidates are seeking office on the
Republican ticket and should be will.
ing to outline their stand on the ma
tional issue. In my opinion it is on
ly fair to both factions that the issue
should be clearly defined"
To Legislative Candidates.
It was pointed out that it was most
imperative that such questionnaifes
should be sent to the two candidates
seeking the Republican nomination for
Congress from the First Distinct -
Charles H. Pfennig and Congressman
Henry Allen Cooper. Also it was de-
clared that the candidates for places
in the state legislature should state
whether or not they are willing to sup
port the ticket on which they are
seeking election.
Several candidates were preached
with the proposition this morning and
all of them seemed willing to make an
immediate answer to q QUESTIONABLE.
They declared, however, that it was
imperative that the QUESTIONABLE
should be so worded that failure to
answer automatically aligned the can
didate either for or against the ma
tional Republican ticket.

TYPHOID GERMS
LESS DEADLY NOW
Decrease in Deaths from
Typhoid is Brilliant
Record Here.
SANITATION DID IT

Typhoid fever was once one of the
most prevalent diseases throughout
the state of Wisconsin, and particular
ly in Kenosha county, according to
F. F. Bowman, epidemiologist of the
state board of health. Reports to that
board showed that in the year 1910
alone there were 588 typhoid deaths,
and presumably there were approxi-
mately ten cases to every death. The
reports from Kenosha county were pro-
portionately large years ago, accord
ing to officials of the local board OF
health. Today Kenosha stands on its
record of being the 'Healthiest City
in the State"-the title given this city
recently by the state board of health
statistical bureau in its announce
ment of death rates for the cities
in the state during 1928.
"There is no more brilliant story in
the history of the control of COM
municable diseases than that concern
ing typhoid fever" says DR.. Bowman
in a report to the Wisconsin Medical
Journal, the official publication of the
State Medical society of Wisconsin.
deaths reported to the Wisconsin
State Board of Health in 1928 from
typhoid were 30. While this is vast
decline both in mortality and in the
presumable occurrence of cases, 1t
shows that typhoid is still something
of factor in preventive medicine AL
though comparatively quiescent it is
ready to strike again with the old
vigor whenever sanitary customs lapse
into the conditions prevailing dur
ing the last century.
Water is a Carrier.
Gan account of the manifold ways
in which typhoid perpetuates itself
may give an idea why it is not pos
sible to Danish this malady altogether.
The original home of the typhoid germ
is in the internal organs of the human
animal. The first settlers were Sc
cure from it until some other settler
having this disease moved in. 1t trav-
els from one human being to another
through the. medium of the discharges
of the person having the disease. 1t
is not borne through the air.
water is the great intermediate
carrier of human wastes. A stream
will carry human contamination many
miles along it's course. In the space
of fifteen years the advance in water
publication has gone on to such an
extent that the decline noted in the
figures above cited tells the tale of
it's incalculable value.
Milk Must Be Clean.
at has also been known for some
time that milk is breeding medium
for typhoid and other germs. The
pasteurizing of milk in large cities
and the observance of proper precau-
tions for cooling and for general sani-
tary care in its production in the
smaller places, have also been factors
in the reduction of typhoid.
"Flies, polluted water, sewage, and
many other elements enter into the
spread of this disease, but as the
years go by there are fewer carriers
because there are fewer cases.
"There are many forms of proven
ton. Purifying water, pasteurizing
and boiling milk, vaccination, boiling
drinking water, and every care to keep
conditions about the home perfectly
sanitary-all these will tend to elimin-
ate any possibility of being exposed
to the disease"

TEN MILLIONTE1
FORD ON ROAD
Ford No. 100000 Com
pletes Trans-cOntinent-
al Journey.
STARTED in JUNE

Ford car No. 100000 completed its
trans-continental journey July 20 at
one o'clock when it arrived at the
western terminal of the Lincoln high
way, according to telegram just re-
ceivea by the Ford Motor company
from Frank Kulick, former racing
driver, who piloted the car across the
continent.
The arrival in San Francisco was au-
spicious. The car, accompanied by a
large number of motor cars, bedecked
with CALIFORNIA; choicest flowers, was
driven to the city hall where Mayor
James Rolph received letter from
Mayor John Hylan of New York, in
the presence of an enthusiastic crowd.
1t was then driven to the end of the
Lincoln highway where final greet
ing was extended by James H. Houli-
han, official representative of the Lin
coin Highway association on the west
coast.
This marked the completion of one
Of the most memorable demonstrations
in. automotive history.
Started June Is.
The Ten Millionth Ford was started
westward across the nations greatest
highway on June 16, not to prove per-
Torrance but to commemorate an
achievement, and throughout the jour
ney demonstrations, bands and parades
marked the progress for nearly every
mile of the entire distance. Greet
ings were extended by officials of every
state through which the car passed
and all along the route the sentiment
was freely expressed that to Henry
Ford belongs the greatest Of credit
for having brought the benefits of the
automobile within the reach of the
largest number of people in all walks
Of life.
Upheld Ford Traditions.
Burdened with the responsibility of
upholding Ford tradition which has
come to mean reliable transportation
at the lowest possible cost, Ford car
No. 10,000,000, one of approximately
1900 standard cars produced in sim
gle day, performed in characteristic
Ford fashion. The entire distance of
little less than 1000 miles was COW
cred with but one minor adjustment
and with absolutely no mechanical diff
ncuity o. any nature. Aitnough many
hundreds of miles of road, particularly
through the western states and across
the Rocky Mountains are of dirt and
gravel formation, it is noteworthy that
this, the lowest priced car built, av-
eraged approximately 10 miles day
for the entire six weeks and was on
schedule to the minute in every town
visited.
The trans-continental trip Of the
Millionth car has formally ended,
but interest remains so keen that the
car is now being routed up the Pacific
coast t. Portland and Seattle from
which podat it will be shipped by boat
back to s-.n Francisco and then driven
ever land TO Los Angeles and prob
ABLY back across the country to De-
troit over a southern route.

Chicago, Ill. - The state today at
tackled the theory of functional disord-
,ers of the endocrine glands set up
Saturday by the defense in its plea for
mitigation of punishment Of Richard
Loeb and Nathon F. Leopold, Jr., for
kidnapping and numbering B b b y
Franks.
The idea of functional disorders of
the endocrine glands was built up by
direct testimony of DR.. HI. S. Hull
bert of Chicago, fourth of the defense
alienists, who used the X-ray pictures
to illustrate what he termed various
glandular disorders, noting the thy
roid pineal, pituitary and adrenals.
Robert E. Grove, states attorney,
upon cross examination, asked DR..
Hulburt for information as to the
function of the pineal gland, and was
told it regulated the balance of the
other endocrine glands. Asked if he
were not a fact that medical men as
a group know practically nothing of
the function of the pineal gland and
some question of its being gland
at all. He received an affirmative re-
ply.
Mr.. Grove sought to impeach the
testimony of DR.. Hubert by bringing
out that the mental pathologist had
been too busy" to make some of his
numerous tests and had relied on the
words of others. The witness testi-
fed that he never had in many" muir
der cases made such extensive exami-
nations and tests as in the present
case.
Mr.. Groves delving into the endoc-
rine gland theory was cut short by the
noon recess. 1t was indicated that the
defense would rest its case soon after
the completion of the testimony Of DR.,
Hubert and late this afternoon the
state would begin presentation of its
long list of rebuttal witnesses, includ-
ing four alienists.
Clarence S. barrow, chief counsel
for the defense, said just before the
afternoon session of the hearing be-
gan that after DR.. Hubert finished on
the witness stand, Allan Loeb, broth
er of Richard and Foreman Leopold,
brother of Nathan, would be put on
for probably 20 minutes of direct tes-
timony after which the defense in
tended to rest it's plea for mitigation
of punishment.
Resuming cross examination Mr..
Grove got an admission from DR.. Hull
bert that his conclusions as to the
mental condition of Loeb and Leo
pold were drawn chiefly from what the
youths had told him. DR.. Hubert said
he felt the two had lied to him to
some extent by holding back infor-
nation, but that he did not think
he had been misled.
Mr.. Grove asked if DR.. Hubert did
not think that ga smart lawyer or doc
tor could have told the boys to tell
that tale of infantile phantasies and
that king slave dream" and the wit
ness said that he did not think SO, that
the stories told by Loeb and Leopold
bore all the earmarks of sincerity."/
at was all too natural to be an
attempt to impose upon me- said the
doctor.
"To some extent, you," DR.. Hubert
replied when Mr.. Grove asked if it
would not be possible for the defend
ants to have been rehearsed in the
tales of phantasies and dreams.
Mr.. Grove, reading from DR.. Hull
bert's original report, remarked that
certain gaps" in the stories of Loeb
and Leopold had been noted, and DR..
Hubert admitted that the gaps as yet
had not been filled in for him.
