TALK
NEW CAR ROUTES
City. Planning Commits.
sion's Experts Suggest
New Car Lines.
FOR FUTURE KENOSHA

| A proposed schematic re-routing
| plan is the subject of an elaborate and
| extended discussion in the report of
the city planning commissions experts
E. o. Mills and L. D. Tilton, recently
submitted to the commission for tinal
action later. The plan was drawn up
as part of the city OF Kenosha's
proposed civic center project with the
view Of extending any possible plans
to the entire city. This particular re-
port has to do with the transportation
facilities and problems which confront
the city today, and which are likely to
arise in the future.
The report embodies six different
recommendations which it asks the
members of the planning commission
to consider.
Try to Avoid Loop.
The plan suggests a scheme by
which all street cars will be routed
through" that is, rather than each
line looping in the business district,
it will be routed through from one
part Of the city to the other. The
combination of some of the lines, the
report declares, may necessarily have
to be varied as conditions change, hut
the plan is flexible in this connection
and will permit of such changes. The
report, however, recommends that the
streets upon which transit service is
to be provided should be determined
at this time as permanent routes. All
of these recommendations and sugges-
tions will be discussed at the forth
coming meeting of the city planning
commission scheduled for this month.
The following is the list of sagges-
lions for consideration in working out
the proposed program for improve
ments:
/. No track extensions should be
made across the main passenger line
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road right of way until the grade cross
ings are eliminated.
Extend Market Street Line.
g. Market street line: Make new
connection from Market street to How
land avenue south Of and parallel to
Chicago and Northwestern railroad
freight line. Route Market street line
over new connection to Rowland,
bn0HC6 10 EHlEle anu eVeHbudlly Out
Prairie. Track to be abandoned on
Market street from Chicago and North
western freight line to Newell and on
Newell from Market to Elizabeth
streets.
8. Extend Elizabeth street line
south on Erie to Salem and out Salem
avenue.
4. New storage track for cars at
Sheridan road and Chicago and North
western railroad crossing
5. Provide new spur track on Erie
street just south of Elizabeth and
eliminate the present loop.
6. Better storage facilities for cars
at Grand avenue and Nash plant.

TO ORGANIZE NEW
SEA SCOUT TROOP
Take Government Lifeboat
vanity to Camp for
Instruction Work.
OPEN TO ALL SCOUTS

A new call was sounded to the Boy
Scouts Of Kenosha today with the an
nouncement by Scout Executive Wavid
Fogwell that he is planning to or
ganize a new troop of Sea Scouts at
Camp Oh Dab Koh-Tah this summer
The government lifeboat vanity
has been overhauled and reconditiened
preparatory to being taken out to the
camp at Center Lake, and this craft
will be made the basis for instruction
work. !
The new troop is being organized, &C
cording to the scout executive, te~fill
a long felt need in Kenosha scouting
An appeal is being made for scouts
through their love for watercraft. I'm
doubtedly woodcraft is the best bait
in the scout program-but there are
rivers to cross, lakes to navigate and
Workmanship, seacraft, workmanship.
seamanship-all acquired on water and
in the big outdoors holding the same
charm for certain type of man and
boy as woods and campcraft have ever
held for their devotees, the "woodsies.'
Registration in the, new troop will
who have passed their 18th birthday
whether they are at this time regu-
larly enrolled in scouting or not. Here
tofore it has been necessary that a
boy must first be first class scout
before he would become eligible as a
seascout, but this rule has been chang
ed by the National Council.
The program which has been drawn
up by Fogwell for the new troop is
primarily for the growing boy who
should know more about American
shipping, the merchant marine and the
American traditions, of the sea.
At camp there will be an instruction
period each day. The scouts will be
taught the construction and manipula-
ton of the craft, how to give COM
mands, a vocabulary of national terms
and everything else connected with
seascouting.
At the camp this summer special
effort will be made to teach every boy
to swim as near like fish as the time
will permit Particular attention will
be given to a program of lifesAving
methods in instruction periods daily.
It Is expected that the plans for the
new troop will appeal considerably to
those older boys in Kenosha who have
taken the notion that they have "out-
grown" scouting.
Any boys, whether scouts or not, who
are interested in this project are urged
to get in touch with Scout Executive
Fogwell at once. Scout headquarters
are on thet third floor of the new
Schwartz building, corner Of Main and
Wisconsin streets.

Death of Calvin Coolidge,
Jr., Brings Nationwide
Expression of Grief.
MADE A BRAVE FIGHT
Son of President Died Late
Monday Night From
Septic Poisoning.
BULLETIN


Washington, d. C.-The White
House, scene of many of the
nations sorrows, again became
house of mourning today while
the whole American people, it
seemed, poured in their messages
of sympathy at the death of
President Coolidge's sixteen-year-
old boy, Calvin, Jr.
Not since Lincoln's time had
such a youthful member of a
presidents family been called by
death, and never under more ira
gic circumstances.
From the time young Calvin died
at 1880 o'clock last night at the
Walter Reed Army hospital, all
through the forenoon and after
moon there came messages to
ihearten the stricken parents in
their first great sorrow, callers
to leave a word of sympathy, and
tributes to the plucky but always
losing fight the boy had waged
against death.
A flag at half staff on the White
House and a white crepe token
of mourning on the door, told of
the bereavement within. Around
the casket in the east room sailors
anil marines from the presidential
yacht Mayflower, stood guard.
Floral tributes in great numbers
were banked about.
President Coolidge bore up well
with his grief and friends of the
family said there had been no sign
Of breakdown by Mrs. Coolidge.
Both were careworn after sleep
less nights spent with their son.
John Coolidge, with whom Calvin
was playing tennis when he sus-
tained the tiny injury which
caused his death, remained with
lis mother.
Plans decided on today for the
funeral contemplate a simple serv-
Ice at the White House tomorrow
at 400 p. m. Another service will
be held at Northampton, Mass,
with burial at Plymouth, YER
mont, the presidents birth place,
On Thursday.

the marines, with the six marines

beate
President Coolidge went to the
executive offices for a short time
early today, and was visited there
by many officials and others who
wished to extend their sympathy.
The White House doors were
closed to cloak the sorrow of the
parents. AS the gates. uniformed
men took up an unwonted guard,
warning away the flow of auto
mobiles and pedestrians who usu-
ally can make free sof the pas
sages through the grounds.
The cars of the diplomatic corps
were the most frequent to pass
the barriers, but their passengers
made only a momentary stop at
the great white pillars of the
residence, to leave cards of con-
doIence.
AT the executive Offices the pres
sure of public business was being
lifted to the utmost possible from
the shoulders of President Cool
,,idge by his secretary, Bascom
Slemp and the staff.
