DIRTY STREETS A POOR ADVERTISE
MENT

About the poorest advertisement that a real
town can have for a Sunday morning is dirty
streets, and people who looked over downtown
Kenosha on Sunday morning must have been
convinced that there was need for some work
to be done between midnight of Saturday night
and the church-going time on Sunday. The
streets were Uttered with papers and the wind
was blowing the dirt and dust from the pave
ments. People who happened to be touring
through Kenosha Sunday morning must have
gone along with the idea that Kenosha was a
most untidy city and that it was forgetful of
the value of righted streets.
No one wants to spend all the money a city
has to keep it's street clean, but it is worth
while to spend some of it to clean up the streets
for Sunday morning. This cleaning is not all
for the tourists Kenosha people on their way
to church want to have clean sidewalk and a
clean street to walk on: They take some pride
in the condition Of the streets and sidewalks
and they are not going to protest if little Of
the money they pay in taxes is expended to
keep the streets cleaner.
Just few men working for a few hours
would make the streets-the most prominent
streets of the city--look lot better and be a
lot better advertisement to the city.s

Fables On, Health
BABY's FIRST TOOTH.
The first tooth!

ne 1lISL LOOLu! ~
It's tradition in every family pos
sessing a baby. And it was thus in the
Mann family. Mr.. Mann staged YER
liable celebration at the office.
Teeth buds begin to form in the
third month. of life before birth.
Thus, the diet of the mother has a
great deal to do with the later de-
velopment of the teeth. The mother
should have liberal amounts of milk,
green-leafed vegetables and fruit con-
tanning mineral salts, as well as vita
mine-bearing foods.
During the first months of life feed
ing affects the teeth. Breasted babies
almost invariably have better teeth
than those artifcially fed. About the
fifth or sixth month the first tooth
should begin to appear.
The dangers of teething have been
greatly exaggerated by mothers. While
there is likely to be little feverish-
ness and discomfort, and while the
baby may seen to gain no weight,
there is little cause for alarm.
A soft bit of cloth or cotton should
be used to keep the teeth clean until
well grown and after that regular
applications with a brush.
Also the child should be given min
eral salt-bearing foods, which help
develop bone as we'll as the teeth.
Regular visits to the dentist are
h essential as soon as the child is
sufficiently old.

ing to capitalize that interest.
The Union Grove commercial club was IN
strumental in locating the teachers training
school at the little city it has been instrument
al in getting better water supply; in securing
the paving of roads ); in getting better business
houses and in securing better support from the
established places of business there. This club
is not made up of people who look backward
but of hopeful souls who look forward all the
time.
A lot of things which the average resident OF
Union Grove thought could not be done have
already been done, thanks to the activities OF
this organization, and it is going to do lot OF
other things to better the home town and make
1 it better to live in.
Union Grove hasn't nearly as much chance
| as Kenosha to go ahead, but it is improving the
chance that it has.
1t would be wonderful thing if some of the
enthusiasm of those Union Grove men and
women could be brought right oyer to Keno
sha and form the basis of real organization
which would look to the advancement of the
community.
No. town is too small and none too large to
have a community spirit to advance it's in
terests. When Kenosha finds out that it is
/ just the right size for the organization of this
kind Of spirit, it will have taken another long
step forward.

PRESIDENTIAL JOB sPURNED

We have written to Babe Ruth ask
ing him if he would mind running for
president of the United States. Some
pitchers walk Ruth, but we thought
he might like to run this time.
Since we have received no reply, we
are forced to draw our own conclu-
sions. Our first guess is that Babe
does not want to be president because
the president does not get his picture
in the paper often enough.
And the president has to work all
the year, while Babe works only dur
ing the summer months. Perhaps Babe
thinks he couldn't live on small
salary Of $4,000 year
There's Babes popularity to take
into consideration. Every boy knows
who Babe Ruth is, but if he became
president many would forget him.
So we have given up the great ball
player, and are seeking a man for the
presidential job elsewhere.

THE MEASURE OF PREPAREDNESS.

Former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M.
Shaw reminds US that when we went into the
World War our cannons were preserved in the
mines, our aeroplanes in the forest, and our
nitrate for powder in the air." That is the sort
of preservation that Democratic critics of our
naval oil reserve policy wish to apply to fuel
for the fleet. Experience has shown that it
would require at least six months to drill wells,
get out the crude oil, ship it to refineries, con-
vert it into fuel oil and make it available for
the ships at the seacoast. The plan to get the
oil out of the reserves and in tanks on the sea-
board was an element of preparedness that or
iginated with former Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, for which he is entitled to much cred
it. Former Secretary DENLY continued the pol
icy of his Democratic predecessor, and Secre-
tary Wilbur has let it be known that he will adj
minister the reserves so as to assure the navy
an immediate supply of emergency fuel when
the need arises. Preparedness is not measured
by mass of raw materials but by the amount
Of finished equipment and supplies that are al
ways ready for emergency service.

LEARNING FROM UNION GROVE.

Union Grove isn't such big city Really
most people who go to the pretty little place
nestled among the trees over in Racine county
would hardly consider it place which might
give pointers to Kenosha, but just the same
Union Grove is developing community spirit
which is lacking in Kenosha, and some mission
aries might come over from the grove and
show Kenosha how to do some things.
Union Grove has a commercial club It is a
real club. It is not just a committee which
meets once in while and which has some per-
sonal axe to grind, but it is body of well-or-
gained men and women who believe in their
home town and who believe in organized effort
to make it better and bigger
More than a hundred men and women were
present at a meeting of this club the other
night, and they showed that they had an inter

There's one name in the New York
cast that caught our eye We've never
seen it before, but we hope we'll see
1T many times again. We refer to Gil
berta Faust who assumes the role of
Monica, the well-meaning, but slightly
too sedate mother of Ethel.
Gilberta Faust is well along 1 in
years, but until now never has had a
chance to play on Broadway, as we
understand the story of her life which
doesn't come from her, but from
friends. After playing about in stock
companies for years with every con-
ceivable kind of part, she finally, in
the high noon of her life, has achieved
what is the ambition of all actors and
actresses.
The part of Monica doesn't give
her real chance, chiefly because
there is too much more of the must
cal version of peg" to get ones at
tention. But if her performance in
this role is criterion it will be a
long time before Broadway gives her
up now that it finally has succeeded
in obtaining her talents.
When Joseph Hergesheimer wrote
the book "Cytherea," he left the run
away husband in Cuba, after the wo-
man with whom he defied convention
had died.

the movie "Cytherea," he had the hus-
band return to his wife after the death
of 'the other woman" in Cuba. The
wife welcomes him back with arms
opened at regulation width.
