DOG RESIDENTS
ON THE INCREASE
Population of City of Ke-
n0sha Shows Decided
Impetus In Year.
IN THE DOG WORLD

Two populations have increased
markedly in the last year in the city
of Kenosha, that of human beings and
that of inhabi' ants of the dog world.
The police have just completed q
census of the city of Kenosha, but
this was dog census.
The patrolmen who were assigned
to the house to house canvas to find
HOY many Towsers there were here,
have just finished their task and have
turned in their findings.
Many More Dogs Now.
In the year 1924 Kenosha boasted
q population of 1899 dogs, this year
there are now 1,424 dogs, an increase
of 1856. If there are that many more
dogs there must be that many more
families, because every dog must have
q master or be miserable, and all the
dogs whose histories were taken are
respectable CANNES, all of whom
boast a proper home.
A community in which there are
plenty of dogs is happy community
for every one in it except the cats
but dogs must be taxed, and COM
munity must be an increasingly pros
porous one which can afford to take
on more CANNES, buy their dog bones
and dog collars and pay their taxes in
addition to their own personal prop
erty taxes, income taxes, real estate
taxes and assessment taxes, Police
captain Ciausen pointed out this
morning.

mediately after the accident.
Drove Directly on Tracks.
According to this story, Jude and
his friends, riding with him in the
car, were going west on the Berry
vile road when they approached the
North Shore tracks. Mistaking the
tracks for a road turning north, Jude
drove the car on a short turn and
went northward up the tracks for
fully hundred feet before he no
ticed what was wrong. Then Ander-
son got out of the car in time to see
an onrushing northbound train COM
ing toward the car. Anderson called
to the others in the car and warned
them of the danger, in the meantime
wildly tagging the train himself.
But it was too late. The train
crashed into the car, crushing Ander-
sons body against the rear of the
car.
Dies on Way to Hospital.
Southbound train No. 436, due at the
Kenosha station at 11:48, happened
along at this time and the injured

The Racine party had come. to Keno
sha early Saturday evening for a
bowling match and returned to Ra-
cine Immediately after the match.

investigation of the accident at once.

him that an inquest would be neces-
sary and accordingly coroner's jury
has been called to meet at the court
house Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The jury visited the scene of the ac-
cident today and were taken to view
the remains of the victim at the Cros-

Native Irish Tongue
Shows u. S. Influence

Dublin americas lure for
sons and daughtsrs of old Erin is held
largely responsible for decay OF the
native Irish language.
A government commission seeking
to find the best means of preserving
the language found that 70 per cent of
the girls and boys born in IrishSspeak-
ing districts look upon the United
States as their future home.
Even in the Dingle peninsula in
Kerry, which is the principal home of
native speech in Munster, it was
learned that of the children in one
parish who left school between 1912
and 1922, more than half emigrated
and many of those left are only wait
ing their turn under the quota, or f.

AMERICA T :
SILK SUBS Lutte
MANUFACTURE GROWS
RayOn Fabric Said to Have
Stolen Secret of Silk
Worm of Long Ago.

New York.-l2- The silk worm
after losing its secret, is giving way
to the competition of mans science
and machinery.
Rayon, an artificial textile fabric
closely resembling silk in appearance
is used in the manufacture of hosiery
which consumes one-ffth Of the do
nestle production, and of ribbon, cot.
ton and wooden goods. Its tensile
strength is greater than cotton ane
less than silk.
Count Hilaire de Chardonnet was
the first to produce rayon and nc
called it artificial silk when he intro.
duced the fabric at the Paris Expo
sition in 1864. His invention resulted
from study of the organic process
which takes place as the silk worn
produces silk.
Initiating this artifcially, he pro.
duced 81 vegetable fibre which organic
ally resembled cotton more than silk
improvements were made in the pro
cess until cellulose, the material con
shutting the cell walls of plants, could
be manufactured into rayon on large
scale.
Many processes are used, but in al
some type of cellulose is reduced to 9
9ielly-like mass and pumped through
gl6s nozzles in which there are fine
capillary t-lbes so small as to be in
visible to the naked eye.
Use Chemical Baths.
This produces endless threads which
are pumped into chemical baths tc
harden and bleach them. From this
stage, the fibres are spun and handled
like silk.
The silk-like sheen which rayon i'm
parts to cotton fabric when woven in.
to it within the past few months has
resulted in large demand from the
cotton mills of the, south and has
greatly stimulated the sale of cottor
goods throughout the country.
Rayon also is used for covering tele
phone wires and electromagnetic, trim
ming and beading tire fabrics, fol
dolls hair, artificial flowers, shoe
laces, suspenders, garter Innings anc
in knit goods.
In statement issued by the BabsoI
Statistical organization it was esti
mated that the domestic production Of
rayon was approximately 39,0O0,00(
pounds in 1924, as compared will
5000 900 pounds in 1920 and 2,450,0ot
in 1914.
This years output will approximate
100000 pounds. One hundred anC
forty million pounds was the tota
of the worlds production last year
with the United States leading al
other countries.

bureau, who has been directing

Lieut.. Rock sent word to Beloit ask
ing the officials to hold Cohen when
they were through with him for the
Kenosha department.

Cohen was in Kenosha for short
time, and when he left he took French
leave, with a trail of complaints in
his wake. The police were informed
that he had passed worthless and
forged checks upon number Of Ke-
nosha men, the sum usually being for
$18 in each case.
Some of the checks were given in
return for gas purchased at gas sta
ton, and others were given for mer-
chandise and cash at various stores.
Among those who filed complaints
against the man were G. H. Ellis, A.
Crystal, l.. Crystal, the manager Of
the Standard Oil gas station at Ridge

Gallo and the Lockwood Oil company
manager
Took Rented Car, Too.

places, at the time he lifted, as is
alleged, cash from various places with
the help of check-book pad.
Later this car was found abandoned
on one of the streets of Kenosha by q
police officer and returned to Ellis.

Accepts Position to
Head Research Work
Professor Ogg of the University of
Wisconsin Will Direct Research
Work Campaign.

Madison, Wis., Prof Fred
erick A. Ogg, chairman of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin political science de-
partment, announced today his ac-
ceptance of the directofship of the
survey of research in the humanistic
and social sciences to be undertaken
in 1926 by the American Council of
Learned Societies. The Carnegie cor
poration has appropriated $4,000 for
the initial expense of the survey. !.
The survey proposes to collect in
formation concerning the projects of
research being carried on by the So
cieties and academies, graduate
schools, special institutes and foun-
dations, governmental agencies, indi-
vidual scholars and several CONNER
ciaI institutions. The survey will also
study the facilities for research, in
GLIDING the amount of available fell
lowships and funds and enquire into
means of publishing the results.
"It is notarious," says the councils
executive committee, "that facilities
for the publication of purely scientific
work in the United States have been
vastly inferior to the corresponding
facilities in Europe, and inferiority
which constitutes a seri '1s handicap
for American scholarship"
"The American Council of Learned
Societies, which corresponds in a
sense to the National Academy of
Sciences, represents national learned
societies having a membership of 49,
600 and covering the fields of phil
osophy, history, economics, philology,
linguistics, archaeology, political
science and sociology"
Professor Ogg Ill be absent from
the University of Wisconsin from Feb
ruary to September, 1925. He will d.
rect the survey from Washington
where preliminary work is already un-
der way.
