JAY WALKERS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Pedestrians Who Take
Short Cuts Are FIRE.
quently Injured.
DEATHS DECREASING

Jaywalking is still the dominant
cause of injury to pedestrians by au-
tomobiles in the United States.
Under the heading of "Jaywalk-
ing'' is included the crossing of streets
against traffic, on a diagonal at in
tersections and stepping out between
parked cars in the middle of the block.
Such is the report made by the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce which was compiled from
the statistics supplied by more than
800 newspapers of the country, of
which the Kenosha Evening News is
one,
Less Deaths In April.
The report shows that there were
less automobile fatalities in the
country during April, they being
held below the total for March as
we'll as for April of last year. There
were 388 fatalities in April of this
year and 1877 in April, 1924. Keno
sha occupied place on the honor foil
for April.
Intoxication was reported as being
responsible for nine of the auto
mobile fatalities of April. The
number of accidents to children was
is per cent of the total, consider
ably less than in former years when
the percentage went as high as 40.
The chief fault in accidents in
which the motorist was held to
existing conditions.
The intoxicated driver continues
to be one of the chief menaces in
connection with accidents. In this city
such drivers are imprisoned, the court
dealing out terms in the house of cor
rection at Milwaukee. The National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
considers that offense fully as serious
as do the city and county officials here.
In suggesting methods by which acct
dents nay be reduced it enumerates
the following:
Enforce the Law-We have enough
laws to meet the situation. Public
support is needed to punish the reck-
less and publish their names.
Educate Schools, newspapers
and motor clubs can keep alive the
sense of responsibility on the part
of the citizen whether on foot or
at the wheel.
"Clear Up Congestion. Traffic
efficiency can be. much improved if
competent men are placed in charge
of research regulation, with power to
act
"Centralize Responsibility. = Get a
traffic administrator, support him,
and demand results.
Gail for the Drunken Driver-An
intoxicated driver is a potential muir
derer. No penalty is too severe"

GOOD ADVICE Is
GIVEN SWIMMERS
City Recreation System
Outlines Program for
Safe Swimming.
TO OPEN BEACH SOON

In order that Kenoshans might en-
JOY safe and sensible swimming this
summer the city recreation system has
outlined a program of precautions
which could be needed by every bath
err. "Drownings do not account for
all the deaths that occur each sum-
mer from swimming" according to
observations made by swimming in
structors who are in direct touch
with the situation.
Although swimming is one of the
finest of all recreations, the safe and
sensible swimmer is quick to recog-
nize that number of health hazards
are associated with swimming which
should be known and avoided, it is de-
clared. Neglect in guarding against
these hazards may result in serious
injury to the swimmers he 18th and
may even result in endangering his
life.
Outlines Swimming Rules.
Despite all precautions bathers are
constantly introducing pollution and
occasionally infection into the water,
Every one should refrain from enter
ing the water when he is not we'll, the
bulletin insists. A common cold, a
skin eruption, Inflammation of the eye,
ear, nose or throat or fever should
be sufficient to deter any reasonable
person from entering swimming
place. Those who are not sure wheth-
er they should go in the water are ad-
vised to consult their family physician
for safety. He will make a thorough
examination.
Among the many simple rules for a
swimmer to follow are:
1. Do not go in the water when
overheated. Failure to observe this
rule may cause cramps.
2. Do not swim Immediately after
eating. An interval of at least two
hours should elapse.
8. Do not swim until over tired
When this is done the splendid tonic
effects of swimming are lost and an
undesirable reaction is substituted.
4. Do not loll in the water for sew
eral hours at time. To obtain the
beneficial effects of a swim one should
not remain in the water longer than
80 minutes at most.
5. Do not follow the practice Of
drying off" often in a chilly atmos-
phere. 1t is much better to enter the
water several times daily, taking a
brisk rub after each swim and chang
ing into dry clothes, instead of allow
ing the clothing to dry on the body.

Protection In
Thunder Storms

Milton, Mass - About this
season, as the old almanacs used to
say, expect thunder storms. Inevit-
ably they bring danger to human life
but the hazard can be diminished
have made a thorough study of the
electrical discharges of the atmos-
phere is followed.
One of these experts is Alexander
G. MacAdie, director of the Blue Hill
observatory and professor of meteor
ology at Harvard university. In the
little building on the wind swept sum-
NIT of Blue Hill, the highest point in
eastern Massachusetts and in the midst
of the Blue Hill forest reservation, he
has spent many years in watching and
Analysing the action of the elements.
He has made a special study of thun-
der storms and some time ago he
formulated a set of suggestions to
help people take care of themselves
during such disturbances. Since that
time, he says, experience has borne
out the value of these suggestions
and science has not developed any
new means of safeguarding a person
against lightning discharges.
Get under cover, is his first rule.
If you can't do that, lie down. About
ten lightning flashes in a hundred
come down to earth in straight line
and the person who stands out in the
open when such flashes are seen in
vites trouble. But getting under
cover doesn't mean seeking shelter
beneath tree because that will bring
you in the direct line of discharge
and Professor McAdie says more peo-
pie are killed by lightning in this
way than probably any other.
The doorway of barn or win
dow near chimney also are danger
Gus places to stand, because lightning
follows to some extent any draft of
air, especially warm air. When the
flashes are heavy or numerous keep
away from chiElneys, trees, fag-poles
or metal clothes lines, and cut out
your radio.
You are safer indoors than out.
The probability of a person in an
ordinary residence building being
struck, says Professor McAdie, is very
slight, and dwelling houses in city
blocks are virtually safe. He defends
the lightning rod, once so popular but
now largely fallen into disuse, as
sorting that if a house is provided
with good lightning rods there is
little to fear.
Going to bed doesn't do any par
ticular good but standing on glass,
rubber, wooden blanket or any other
good insulator will give a person a
little more security. The observatory
director advises passengers in a troll
ley car to sit still if lightning comes
in and burns the fuses because with
the roar and binding fash the dan
ger is over.
He urges that every effort be made
to resuscitate a person struck by
lightning. 1t seldom kills outright,
usually stunning the victim in such
way that artificial respiration will
restore him to consciousness. !.
For the protection Of livestock
which often are killed by lightning
while at pasture, he warns against
tying them near a wire fence.

MacMillan Party Faces Possibility of Abandoning Plans to Fly Over Unknown Regions This Year.

Washington. Aug. IS P-A possi- bility developed today that the Mac Milan Arctic expedition might aban- don for this year its effort to fly over the unknown region of the polar sea.
 A message asking for an opinion on that subject from Lieutenant Commander Byrd, commanding the navy section, was despatched by the navy, after a conference between ot- ficials of the navy and of the Ma tional Geographic society, sponsor of the expedition.
 It was indicated that the confer ence went into the question of whether 1t would be better to give up the attempt to fly over the un- known region his year and concen- trate upon exploring regions of Greenland and Labrador In quest of scientific information. The weather for some time has been giving the expedition increasing apprehension, Repeated messages have told of un- usual conditions with storms, ice filled bays and lords, and mountains covered with ice and snow.
 A message from the expedition last night said that this week would determine whether the expedition could succeed ip its major purpose and indicated that if adverse weather continued there was little hope of complete success.

.z|ON|STS CONSIDER
 ERECTING LIBRARY
Would Honor Memory of Abra- ham AiSenberg and Louis Cans
BOTH ACTIVE IN CAUSE
Fund of s1,ooo Already in Treasury Many Volumes Owned by Mir. Cans to Form Nucleus-Discussion Of Project Tonight.

A memorial library to commemor- ate the work done by Abraham Aisenberg and Louis Cans in the in terests of the Zionist movement in New Britain will soon he erected, provided the New Britain Zionist or ganization at its meeting tonight in Talmud Torah hall votes n favor of motion to be put before it by one of It's most prominent leaders.
 Both Mir. Alsenberg and Mir. Cans gave their entire lives without stint to the furtherance of the aims of the Zionist movement and when the former died some years ago, q fund for such a library was at that time started. Of late. however, nothing has been done along this line, and the sl,000 collected at that time is still lying in the bank awaiting the disposal of the local organization Isaac Rothfeder is treasurer of the fund.
 The death a few days ago of Mir. Cans, who some 25 years ago found- ed the New Britain Zionist organiza- ton, recalled to local leaders the eX- istence of this fund. especially since MT. Cans has left a most complete and extensive library. It Is hoped by those pushing this new project that with Mir, Cans library and the $1,- 900 in the bank as basis, New Brit ain Jews will be eager to get be- hind the proposal and give freely toward the desired end, a memorial library in honor of these two great leaders In local Zionist circles.
 If the plan goes through, and judging from the enthusiasm with which 1t is being greeted by those discussing 1t informally, 1t will mark the second great honor to be post humously conferred on MT. Cans. As was previously announced in The Herald, MT. Cans body will be taken from its temporary resting place in Beth Alom cemetery, this city, some six months hence, and borne to the far side of the globe to Jerusalem, there to rest amid the remains of the ancient rulers of the Kingdom of David,
