Building Radio to
Talk With America

MOseow.--Soviet Russia is striv-
ing to keep pace with the United
States, England and France in radio
communication, Nearly a score of
powerful land stations are now in
course of erection in various parts OF
Russia, which will link up not only
the scattered spaces of the huge re-
public, but will bring other parts OF
the earth into closer contact with
Russia, The principal Of these sta,
lions are located in Transeaueasia,
Siberia and the Kirgisian Steppes.
Two stations already have reached
eompletion on the River Obi, in ST.
IBERIA, three have been finished in the
kirgisian Steppes, in the Volga reg
ion, and two are in course of con-
struction in the Caucasus. These are
adapted both for radio telephony and
radio telegraphy.
In Moscow, powerful sending and
receiving station is being built on the
Khodynka Fields, which will have
communication with Annapolis, Long
Island and other American stations.
In the meantime, European COM

TWO SKULLS ARE
FOUND IN DITCH
Murray Grove, Former Ke-
nosha Lad, Makes Crew.
some Discovery.
NO CRIME SUSPECTED

Discovery of parts of two human
skulls under a bridge on tho Lincoln
Highway near the town of Dixon, Illi-
nois, was made by Murray Grove, a
boy who formerly lived in Kenosha
but who is now living with his parents
IN Dixon. The find has set Dixon agog
with excitement and vague ramors but
the general belief now Is that the
skulls belonged to cadavers which had
been kept in physicians' offices.
A theory that the heads may be
those of two murder victims and that
a search might reveal their bodies
buried in a field nearby was inyes-
tigated by Sheriff E. c. Risley, but is
now disbelieyed by officials.
The general belief now is that the
heads may have been thrown out OF
an automobile by medical student or
physician. 1t is known that two
cadavers had been kept in the labora-
tory of a Dixon physician, having
been brought there from Chicago for
thought probable that the skulls came
from this source.
The Grove boy; who Is the son of
Paul Grove, former employee of the
Kenosha News Publishing company
here. was playing with several COM
panions under the bridge when he
came across the gunny sack in which
the skulls We're found. The young
sters had been playing under the
bridge emily few days before and no
sack had been there, showing that it
had been there only few days.
Emptying the sack, the lads found
the two heads which were wrapped
first in a mans sport shirt, then in a
child's underwaist and then in Sioux
City, Iowa, paper of the date of Sep
TENDER 90, 1924. The boys spread the
word of their grewsome find and the
heads were removed to a Dixon
until investigation of the In
cident could be made.

short of the mark. In we'll informed
quarter / am told that the holdings
aggregated close to 100000 shares, the
exact amount being hidden somewhat
by the fact that the stock record books
did not show all the stock in one name.
Gas was one of Aliens pet invest
ments and efforts to acquire his block
Of rights, when additional commol was
offered at $50, were unsuccessful as
he exercised them al. The selling for

Changing Mood
Demands Sealskin

London. Revival of feminine in
terest in sealskins is reported by Lon
don furriers, who have experienced a
heavy demand this fall for seal coats
and jackets, many of them enlivened
by collars of golden beaver or ermine
The heavy, dull brown sealskin coat
beloved of the Victorian era, however
is thing Of the past, for new methods
Of preparing and dyeing the fur have
resulted in the production of peits, far
lighter in weight than even musquash,
in rich, durable golden and dark
browns that improve, rather than grow
shabby with age.
According to the London furriers,
fur coats this year will have comfort
able loose sleeves, with huge gauntlet
cuffs and big roll collars, preferably
of beaver or ermine. An effort to re-
viye the ''muff" fashion has apparently
failed.

ELECTRICAL COOKERY.
An Afternoon Housewarming Recep-
ton.
~, cTETJA ETJZARETH DELAND.


This is about the time most of us,
who have moved into new quarters,
are about to give housewarming re-
ception. From experience | have
found that the best arrangement for
this sort of entertainment is an after
noon tea. Saturday or Sunday after
moons are particularly good for on
either of these days the men of your
can also come.
If large number of people are ex-
pected one should have at least two
of three varieties of liquid refresh
ments, is, tea, coffee and per-
haps chocolate. Because all these
must be kept hot and fresh the
hostess will be wise to provide her
tea table with an electric water ket-
tie and an electric percolator. The
chocolate should be made in sufficient
quality ahead of time and then be
kept hot on the electric range over
slow" heat.
If it is a fairly cold day cinnamon
toast and toasted English mullins will
make excellent additions to your re-
fershments.

32-fOOt Boat

Tacoma, Wash.--Aboard a 32-foot
boat four men from this city have
set out on a cruise across the Paci-
fc, with Honolulu as their destina-
ton. The cruise was planned by Karl
Rathfon, an experienced navigator of
small craft, and his boat is the Idle

ALLEGED FORGER
IS BOUND OVER
Serafino CovelIi, Held on a
Charge of Forgery, is
Bound Over.
EVIDENCE GETS MIXED

Denials and afiranations were fly
ing thick and heavy in municipal court
this morning while the preliminary
hearing of the case of Sarafno. Covelli,
ITS Brockett street, charged with forg-
ing check for $35, was being con-
Quoted, Covelli was bound over to
the January term of the circuit court
with borfds reduced from $3.50 to $500.
The case arises out of the return OF
cheek drawn on the Security Savings
bank of Waukegan, for S3b, marked
IN. S. A"Lno such account. Tony
Cesario, who operates a grocery store
on the west side, cashed a check for
Tony Ritacca, who declares that it was
given him by Serafino Coveili to cash.
Ritacca declared on the witness stand
that he turned over all of the money
to Covelli the next morning after haV
ing cashed the check in Cesario's place.
On cross examination Ritacca admitted
that he had told Attorney L, +, Vau-
dreuil previous to the hearing that he
had kept half of the money that he
got from cashing the check, turning
over the other half to Covelli, In the
testimony given at today's hearing the

course. 1t appeared that the evidence
given by Ritacca was inconsistent IN
places. And on several instances Attor-
ney Vaudreuil called attention to COM
plete reversal of testimony by the
witness almost in the same sentence.
Cesario, the grocer, told the court
that he had given Ritacca only S28
out of the check, keeping seven dollars
in payment of a bill. Ritacca, how
ever, insists that he got $50 in ex-
change for the check. Ritacca in one
part of his testimony told District
Attorney Morris Barnett, who conduct
ed the hearing for the state, that he
saw Covelli write the check, and in
another part of his testimony on cross
examination Ritacca declares that he
was watching a game of cards while
Covelli was writing something on
check, but that he couldn't swear it
was the forged check produced in
evidence.
The check in question is made out
to Frank Chilotti, and signed Tony
Ponzia. 1t bears the endorsement of
Frank Chilotti, 816 Market street.
Testimony continued for another
hour and when the state rested the
case the motion of the district attor-
ney to have the defendant bound over
to the January term of the circuit
court was granted by Judge Slater.
Another case is pending against
Ritacca on charge of issuing worth
less check, and this is to come up
later. Meanwhile Ritacca is being
held in the county iail

LAUDS PROGRESS .
OF BOY SCOUTS.
Jamboree Troop Scouts
Tell of Hard Problems
Scouting Solves.
PARENTS INTERESTED

Kenosha boy scouts are being laud-
ed for the progress they are making
in scouting and for the advancement
which they show in all phases of the
problems of boyhood which scouting
attempts to solve. The results of
recent questionable bear out the re-
markable things that active participa-
tion in scouting brings to boy.
"What is, the best job you ever saw
scouting do ?"
This was one inquiry in a question
naire put to members Of the American
troop which won the world scout
championship at the recent Interna-
tional Jamboree in Copenhagen.
"Take the toughest boy in the neigh
borhood and turn him into fine, self
respecting, law-abiding lad was the
reply from more than half the troop.
Among other things the question
naire brought forth was that prac-
tically every one of the winners was
a scout enthusiast from early boy
hood, most of the boys joining up on
their twelfth birthday
Fathers and mothers active interest
was shown to be one of the greatest
factors in progress and achievement,
Scout executives and scoutmasters re-
ceived fine tribute for their leader
ship, help, and inspiration. Merit
badges galore had been earned by the
scouts, but not without earnest appli-
cation and hard work. Badges "hard-
est to win" were those for bird study
(by city boy who had not much OPP
portunity to observe the birds), life
saying (by middle western lad who
lived sixteen miles from the nearest
swimming pool, athletics by several
scouts who were not athletically in
clined and one who was not we'll, but
became more robust through his work
for this emblem), electricity (by two
animation by an official of the local
electric light plant), angling, civics,
chemistry and Workmanship.
do you think scouting is of value
to boy?' brought forth replies en-
Enthusiastically in the affirmative from
youthful witnesses of the beneficial
effects of the scout movement. "There
isn't anything but. If you could see
the fellows scouting puts out"
Makes real men," Makes fellow
a gentleman when he's boy, and
keeps him gentleman when he grows
up" makes boys with bad habits go
straight" Makes him the right sort,
and gives him the right sort of
friends" Teaches a boy so many
things that he is ready for any emery
ency'" These were typical replies.
Ihree-fourths of the troop had
reached Eagle rank, the highest rung
IN scouting's ladder, Twenty-six states
and forty-eight localities were repre-
sented by the Jamboree champions, %

THE SANDWICHES.

The sandwiches for a tea should
always be small and dainty and have
the crusts removed. The bread
should be cut very thin and the fill
ing should be of chopped meats or
other spreaGable filings, so that
guests may not be embarrassed by
having the filing drop from between
the bread. Mousse of chicken or ham
is particularly suitable.

CINNAMON TOAST.

Spread the warm toast over with
plenty of butter and then sprinkle a
generous amount of a mixture made
Of half cinnamon and half confec-
toners sugar. Keep it warm by plac-
ing it on top of the toaster.
At a tea I recently attended the
hostess was thoughtful enough to
serve hot creamed chicken on toast,
and because it was pretty cold day
the guests all enjoyed it. She prepar-
ed the chicken before the guests be-
gan to arrive and then kept it hot
throughout the two or three hours
her tea lasted on small electric
table stove.

chicken. Season to taste with salt
and pepper and let it heat through.
Then remove it to the tea table and
place on top Of an electric grill or an
electric plate warmer.
The electric waffle iron is another
valuable addition to the afternoon
tea table. Among any crowd of peo-
pie there are always few waffle en-
thusiast and crisp hot waffles made
with SO little trouble to the hostess
will certainly please them,
