CHICAGO. April flames A. Patten
jumped into the breach to save grain
prices from a complete, overwhelming
collapse, just in time to recoup the
-outed. broken bulls and TO bring
Jack to himself a leadership in the
grain trade he has held, except for
minor Interruptions, for nearly 35
years
And Jim Patten. at 70, grizzled by
his unnumbered battles over wheat,
and SCARED by honestto- goodness at
:empts in years gone by to corner
grain, is still the real wheat king.
Today he had supplanted the pre-
tenders who aspired through this
trading session to his old throne, only
to be broken.
Renewed hope has displaced the
gloom which recently has pervaded
the Board of Trade, with knowledge
that Patten has taken a hold in the
market. For Jim" Patten steered
clear of this years big bull racket,
pulling out last September when
wheat touched SLIGO. His consistent
claim that 50 wheat involved 80 to
So cents of pure speculation now
gives him the prestige to take hold
for the bulls to prevent their total
rout.
Excesses Far From New.
Excesses in speculation of this year
haven't been new to the greatest
leader the Chicago Board of Trade
ever developed. He has followed
them for 40 years and more, from the
time "Old Hutch got a corner back
in 1888 and the time Joseph Letter
cornered In 1897 to the occasions
when he attempted on his own ac-
cord in 1909 to round up all the
grain, up to the recent fiasco that
has broken a new set of leaders.
Though all this history of trading,
no man as yet has actually cornered
grain and lasted long to tell of it.
Benjamin Peter Hutchison, 'Old
Hutch" came the nearest when he
bought up the supply and ran prices
from 50 cents to 50. But the strain
was 50 terrific that he soon died
with but 100000 remaining of his
fortune.
Joseph Letter almost cornered in
1897 when he bought 40,000,000
bushels of wheat and ran prices from
S1.20 to S1.85. But he hadn't figured
on p. D. Armour, and when he called

WINSTON WILL SAIL
FOR EUROPEAN VISIT
Undersecretary of Treasury Calls
Trip Vacation-Is CLief of For
eign Loans Work.

Undersecretary of the Treasury
Winston will sail tomorrow from
New York for Europe on what he
said was only a vacation, with no
public business to transact.
Mr.. Winston will confer with
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in
New York today. Mr.. Mellon has
been on a vacation in Bermuda and
is returning to Washington.

Although Mr.. Winston's trip to
Europe is announced as unofficial, the
fact that he has recently taken over
the foreign loans section of the
Treasury Department and will visit
both London and Paris, makes his trip
significant.
Whether Mr.. Winston might be
authorized to open conversations in
Paris. should the French government,
which seems to be on the verge of
reorganizing it's fiscal policy desire,
was an open question. 1t was under
stood, however, that Mr.. Winston was
not carrying with him any instruc-
tions from the American Government.
He expects to meet in Paris his
brother, Hampden, who has been on
a vacation tour around the world.
1t will be Mr.. Winston's first vacation

T o Consider Remaining
Street Plan at Meet
ing Tonight.
HAVE SEVERAL PLANS
May Name Cross Streets Num-
ericalIy and North and South
Streets fundamentally.

Remaining of the streets of Kenosha,
which has been hanging fire in Keno
sha for several months, is to be
brought before the city council at a
meeting as committee of the whole,
according to the announcement made
this morning by City Manager G. M.
Osborn. The council will be asked to
consider several plans which have
been proposed to establish uniform
method of street naming in Kenosha
to replace the hap-hazard one which
has grown up with the city as it devel-
oped from a village into town and
then into city.
The movement was launched by the
Kenosha Post of the American Legion
which named. committee to make a
thorough investigation of the problem
and present it to the council. Joining
with the Legion in the movement are
several other civic organizations, in
GLIDING the Kenosha Civic council.
Number Cross Streets. =
The general plan which is to be put
before the council calls for numbering
the streets running east and west.
This would greatly facilitate the find
ing of house numbers in Kenosha and
would give much more orderly ar
rangement of streets.
Two proposals for this plan have
been investigated. One of these would
be to take some street, such as Mar
ket street, Paririe avenue or Grand
Der north and south from this point.
One disadvantage in this plan would
be that much confusion would result
from having First street north" and
First street south" and so on.
A plan which has gained much favor
with those who have studied the prob
lem is to start the numbering at a
point far north of the present city
limits, such as the Berryville road,
and continue it through Kenosha to
the south to the county line. This
would make Prairie avenue "60th
street." Middle street "50th street"
Elizabeth street "63rd street." Selma
avenue "75th street" and so on.
Rename North and South Streets.
The plan would also call for COM
plete remaining of the north and south
streets as we'll. Several plans will be
submitted for this including the nam
ing of the streets after men who have
been prominent in building up Keno
sha, or naming them after the Presi-
dents of the United States or after
the States in the Union. In either
\
gested that the names he in alpha
betical order.
The council will also have presented
to it data regarding the probable cost
for carrying out the street naming
project, which would include the pur-
chase of an entirely new set of street
marking devices and the changing of
all numbers on residences, business
and industrial properties.

Case Against
Scholey Dropped

The case brought by State Treasury
Agent Ballard against Constable John
Scholey, of Kenosha, charging him
with embezzlement of $75 collected as
fees for the department, was dropped
this morning when the case was CALI
ed before Court Commissioner Guy
Benson of Racine Scholey was ar
rested on the charge several days ago
and taken to Racine to be arraigned.
There he gave bond and was released.
He maintained at that time it was a
mistake, declaring that the misunder-
standing had arisen over the fact that
bankdraft for the amount named
had been lost. He produced bank rec
ords to show that he had secured a
draft for the amount in question.
Early this morning the case was
called and continued for two weeks.
This afternoon, however, Court Com
missioner Benson took up the matter
again and dismissed the charge en-
tirely.

Millions Lost in
Failure to Paint

Our annual loss through rust and
decay amounts to over $4,000, 100000
annually. Rust and rot are insidious
oxidizers which burn slowly but sure
~ as fire, never ceasing in their at
tack until the last small bit is de
stroyed.
At the present time less than one
fifth of all. the surfaces that should
be painted are painted or properly pro-
tected with paint, and this is reflect
ed in the government report on our
annual loss through rust and decay.
and is included among the nations
wastes recently deplored by Herbert
Hoover.
There is paint or varnish prod
uct made especially to protect and dec
crate any kind of surface, interior or
exterior, under the ground or under
the sea. Without the protection of
paint all the exposed wood and steel
used in buildings would have to be
replaced in from five to twenty years.
If the surface is adequately protected
with paint it would last 1000 years.

SET RECORD IN
HOME BUILDING
Building in Kenosha Dur
ing Last Week Sets
Another Record.
STILL OVER $5,OOO,OOO

One of the most frequent things
that the weekly report of j. M. Albers,
chief of the city building inspection
department, seems to be doing these
days is setting records and breaking
them only to be broken again the next
week. The week which ended July IL,
according to the last report of the de-
partment, sets still another record in
The number of families provided for
by homes completed during the past
week.
During the week from July to
July 11-six days-twenty families
were~ provided for through the COM
pletion of new homes. The total num-
Der of new homes completed for the
year to date is 204, the report shows.
At this time last year-July IL, 1925
there were 1876 homes completed
since the first of the year, giving the
year 1925 an edge over 1924 of 60
homes. And as each week goes on
more and more are being completed
and by the time the next report is
ready for compilation it is not at all
unlikely that this weeks record will
be surpassed once more.
Permits Total $82,453.
During the week 81 permits for
construction work were issued, call
ing for building work totaling $82,453.
They were distributed as follows: /
frame fat, $4,000; one brick residence,
$1,000; nine frame residences, $685.
200; thirteen garages, 1892; twenty
two heating plants, $6,861, and five
additions and alterations, $22,7o0.
The total estimated cost of build
ing work going on in Kenosha at
the present time is placed at So
227,438, according to the report There
was completed during the past week
$96,660 worth of construction work,
making a total of $1,777,7s9 for the

POSTAL RECEIPTS
TAKE BIG JUMP
Post Office Business Dur
ing June Shows $4,000
Increase in Year.
SHOWS CITY'S GROWTH

Rejecting the rapid growth of the
business and commercial life of the
city in a most evident way is the
story contained in the report of postal
receipts for the period ending June 80
compiled by Assistant Postmaster
Michael Zens and announced by Post
master Charles Holderness today. The
receipts from all sources of postal
revenue for the month of June, 1925,
show $4,000 jump over that of the
same month last year, and there are
corresponding increases all the way
down which show the enormous bust
ness being carried on for the United
States government at the local post
Office
The report gives a comparison of
figures for May and June of this year,
showing a slight decrease in May over
the following month: May, 1925, re-
ceipts $21,747.47; June, 1926. receipts
$21,17435.
Compares Recent Years.
That Kenosha's postoffice is doing a
big business and that this business is
making the federal mail work here a
paying one, is also obvious from the
figures. The total receipts for the year
1923 were 1921 ,829,54; and for the year
1924, 1886, 444.84, an increase of near
Is $4,000.
There is an interesting comparison
of figures showing the receipts for the
month of June-which is recognized
as only an average month in the post
Office year-during the past few years.
In June, 1910, the postoffice business
totaled $4307. 60-which is one-seventh
of the June, 1925, volume of receipts.
In 1920sthe figure went up to $781608.
The other years following read: June,
1922, $18262.9O; June, 1923, $21138.42;
June, 1924, $17,298.S6; and June, 1925,
$21, 174.35.
National Increase Not So Large.
According to information received
at the postoffice it was thought the
present rates would increase the rev.
enues by $5O,00o,000 annually in the
country but officials at Washington
are of the opinion they will not pro-
duce that amount.
Deficit is Expected.
Increased pay of postal employees
and revised postal rates will result in
a deficit of $40,00o,o00 in postal oper-
ations for the fiscal year which ended
June 10, it is estimated by Postmaster
General New.
During the month of June so Sc
lected Offices in the country showed an
increase of 14.72 per cent over June,
1924, while the increase for so indus
trial cities was 1915 per cent.
