INTEREST IN NEW
"Y" INCREASING
Petitions With Many Sig
natures Show EncOur-
aging Interest.
WANT MORE NAMES

Over five hundred persons in the
city of Kenosha have shown their in
terest in the bringing to Kenosha Of
branch Of the Young Mems Chris
tian association with building here
by pledging themselves as being will
ing to take out membership in the
organization when it is started. But
these names have not yet approached
the number set by the Optimist club
before they will submit the petitions
to the present board of directors of
the Y. M. C. A. in Kenosha. The goal
set was 5000 names.
In the petitions filed with George
Stevens, who initiated the petition
idea with the Optimist club, are rep
resented those of individual members
of the club who have gone out to cir
culate these papers for names. The
other organizations in the city have
not vet reported And when they do
it is expected that the number Of
names on record will be greatly in
creased.
The American Legion has yet to
report the number of pledges it has
secured to sign up for action on the
new building. The Kiwanis and Ro-
tary clubs and the Hi-Y organization
at Kenosha high school are also work
ing on the proposition.
Plan for Early Action.
The plan of those interested in the
reorganization of the association in
Kenosha is to get five thousand Pied
ges of interest and then to submit
these names to w. w. Vincent, presi-
dent of the directorate. The "YP
board has already signifed its will
lingness to consider the petitions ia
vorably and with the solid front Of
public opinion behind the petitions it
is expected that the board will take
some action which might lead to a
building in Kenosha started before
the year, is over. The ''Y" board all
ready has a neat sum approximating
$4,000 which represents the sum of
money which remained in the treas
ury of the organization when the old
property was sold. With this as a
nucleus it is expected that it would
require very little time before the
rest of a sum necessary to bring a
building here could be raised.
Those persons interested in circu-
lating a petition themselves are urg-
ed to get copies from George Stevens,
clerk of the circuit court, in his office
in the county courthouse.

URGES ACTION ON
| DANCE HALL BILL
Dance Hall Owner Urges
City Countil to Pass
Ordinance.
Is NOW ENFORCING IT

Immediate and favorable action on
the proposed dance hall ordinance to
regulate dance halls in the city of
Kenosha as they are to be regulated
in Kenosha county under the ordin-
ance just passed by the county board
of supervisors, is sought in q letter
sent to the city manager and to the
city county today by S. P. Miller, op-
orator Of dance hall in Kenosha. Mr..
Miller's letter will bring the dance
hall ordinance before the council again
and will open the way for action.
It was understood that the city coun-
Gil was waiting for the county board
to act before passing dance hall or
dinance so that regulation of dance
halls would be uniform in the city and
county.
Ahead of the Ordinance.
Operator Miller in his letter to the
council declares that for several
months he has been ahead of the
proposed ordinance in his management
of the Dreamland dance hall and he
has invited the council to visit this
dance hall and see haw he ordinance
would work out. He maintains that
the observance of the provisions of
the proposed ordinance, even though
the ordinance has not yet been passed,
has been most successful here and has
helped to solve many Of the questions
arising in the operation of public
dance hall.
His letter reads as follows:
Gentlemen:
"Since the passage of the county
dance hall ordinance, the matter Of the
city ordinance is again before US for
consideration.
81, for one, wish to go on record as
in favor of an ordinance. / have prov
en- to my own satisfaction and to a
large portion of the dancing public
that such an ordinance as has been
proposed to the city council is desir-
able.
Starting with the opening of the
Beach Pavilion last June, I have car
ried out the provisions of the proposed
ordinance in practically every partic-
ular and find it a success. / continued
this in my dances at Grosvenor's and
the plan is in execution at Dreamland
at the present time.
"I have employed under the direc-
tion Of our policewoman, Mrs. Beulah
Mcneil, patrons as supervisor, not
only of dancing but of the age limit
and the general morale if the hall.
believe have the cleanest and most
orderly dances operated, not only in
Kenosha, but in the entire state Of
1 Wisconsin.
| 81 take this opportunity of inviting
you, the members Of the council, to
visit my ballroom at any time.
'Yours very truly,
S. p. Miller"

BARRIERS BUCK
BEAUTY PARL0RS
Do Not Intend to be Legis~
lated Out of Bodied
Hair Trade.
PETITIONS CIRCULATED

Kenosha BARRIERS are joining in the
statewide appeal being made to the
state legislature for legislative action
on the question of the bobbed hair
trade, which is a point at issue with
the beauty parlors. The bill in ques-
tion will not mention bobbed hair, but
this will be the point at issue behind
the discussion.
Petitions are now in circulation in
many Kenosha barber shops urging the
members Of the state legislature to
support the claim Of the BARRIERS in
the contention and not to allow law
to be passed which would be diserim-
inatory against barber shops or against
beauty parlors, but would leave both
open to secure the business on the
merits Of their work.
Want Women Excluded.
In the early days Of the bobbed hair
business, most Of the women's hair
utting was done in the beauty parlors.
Now the women have become less tim
orous and are almost as frequent GUS
toners at barber shops as are men.
This change, 1t is, alleged, has given
rise among beauty parlor owners OF
movement to have a state law passed
preventing the cutting Of women's hair
in barber shops, which of course would
react against the barber shops.
The BARRIERS on the other hand insist
that person, whether it be man or
woman, has right to go where he or
she pleases to get barbering done anc
that such law would be discrimina-
tory.
Suggest a Licensing.
The BARRIERS are also suggesting that
in addition all owners of beauty par
Tors who do any hair cutting should be
forced TO secure BARRIERS license just
as must be done in barber shops. They
maintain that unless license Is Sc
cured, the beauty parlors should not
be allowed to carry on this business.
Both assemblymen from Kenosha
county have been told Of the point at
issue and have been urged to be on
the lookout for any bill touching on
the barber trade or the beauty parlor
business which may be presented to
the state legislature.

Racine Circuit Court Jury
Holds County Negligent
In Road Upkeep.
COUNTY WILL APPEAL
Kenosha County Will Take Case
to Higher Court in Mccoy
Terhorst, County Case.

Robert Mccoy, 10 years Of age, was
awarded damages amounting to $4,000
by a jury in the Racine circuit court
late Friday afternoon following four
day trial before Judge E. B. Belden, IN
which John Terhorst and Kenosha
county were defendants. James Nc
Coy. father of the boy, was also award
ed $1,000 against the same defendants
for medical aid to the boy.
The verdict came after several hours
Of elaboration by the jury. Attorneys
for the plaintiff had asked damages of
$500 for the boy and $4,000 for the
father.
Immediately after the verdict was
read by the foreman of the jury, Ke-
nosha county, through its representa-
tives, District Attorney Lewis Powell
and Assistant District Attorney Morris
Barnett, together with County Judge
r, v. Baker, who was sitting in on the
case as an adviser, made known the
intention Of the defendants to file mo-
tion for an appeal.
History of Case.
The damage suit is the outgrowth of
an accident which occurred near the
town of Brighton on August 10, 1922.
John Terhorst was driving a truck
loaded with telephone poles to Burling-
ton, the home of the driver. Three
boys, including Robert Mccoy, who
was then eight years old, were riding
in the cab with him. In passing an
other truck coming from the opposite
direction the right wheels of the Ter
horst truck went off the pavement and
striking two large stones concealed by
grass and tall weeds, overturned, caus-
ing serious injuries to young Mccoy
which resulted in the amputation OF
his right arm. The boy also suffered
other injuries which have made him
an invalid ever since.
The jury's findings brought the
charge that at the time of the acci.
dent the highway was not in reason.
ably safe condition and that the unsafe
condition was the proximate cause OF
the injuries to the boy.
Seek to Appeal Verdict.
District Attorney Powell and Judge
Baker will file before Judge Belden al
Racine during the coming week theil
motions. They will ask the circus
court Judge to set aside the jury's yer,
dict and render judgment for the de
PENDANT, claiming that the verdict wa.
not in accordance with law and tina
the evidence itself did not justify sucl
q verdict. Judge Baker will also in
sist that under the law bhe county i
not liable in such case.
1t is possible that Judge Belden, al
ter considering the jury's findings ma,
himself set aside the verdict in tn,
case should he be convinced that it i
not in keeping with the liability point
as set down in the law governing thu
case.

18TH AMENDMENT

Author of 18th Amendment
Calls Prohibition Worthy
in Five Years.
COUNTY SUPPORTS IT
By SENATOR MORRIS SHEPPARD
OF TEXAS.
(Author of Eighteenth Amendment)
written Exclusively for the United

Press.)
Neutrality-suspicious. 16 marked
FIVE years Of national prohibition. In
every national election since nation
wide prohibition went into effect, the
people have signifed their approval of
prohibition by increasing the dry ma
iorities in both house and senate.
The congress has evidently reflected
accurately public sentiment of the ma
tion in adoption, first, of the national
prohibition to enforce the eighteenth
amendment; then the supplemental
prohibition act to strengthen it; the
appropriations to sustain the prohi-
bition enforcement department; q
measure to rehabilitate the coast guard
and support it in it's effort to prevent
rum smuggling; the concentration
warehouse measure. Legislation is now
pending to put prohibition agents I'M
der civil service and coordinate en-
forcement activities. This legislation
has passed the house by large ma
jority and is now before the senate.
Arrests Decrease.
OuAluS LIE OpcAdLIOn OL
the decreased arrests for drunkenness
have numbered 100000 annually. There
have been 100000 fewer individual ac-
cidents. A decreased mortality rate
has developed which adds three years
to the average human life. The 275
drink sures of licene days have
dwindled to 81. Lowering drink-caus-
ed poverty is saving $74,0Oo,0oO annual
ly. Prohibition has closed many or
phanages and crowded the colleges
and schools. 1t has doubled the num-
Der of investors and made it possible
to save $30,000,000, out of the daily
wage of $200,o00,00O.
With nearly 100000 automobiles
on the roads, we must choose between
liquor and the automobile.
Calls For Sportsmanship.
Drinking liquor always was harm
full. Now, in addition it is unlawful to
make it, buy it, carry it, or possess
it as a beverage except as to the small
residue purchased and stored before
prohibition was instituted It is not
only bad example to use this resi-
due for beverage purposes, but every
reason for total abstenance in the past
is reinforced today by the fact that
the drinker of illegal booze furnishes
a precedent for the encouragement of
all law breakers, creates disrespect for
law, CANDLES with his health and life,
makes more hazardous the work of
faithful public officials, subjects this
country to the criticism of nations

| Americans who love this republic
more than drink of liquor, will obey
the law, and will insist on like obedi-
ence from others. Good sporlsmen play
the game of democracy fair.

It will remain so. The perpet..ity
of the nation depends upon obedience
to and enforcement of the law

Dentists. says the American Society

themselves reliable sources of infor-

and tongue.
With that in mind, it is trying to
recruit dentists in the war against the
dread disease. Other scourges have
been triumphed over by science, but
cancer still rears its venomous head,
thus far unconquered.
1t is well to remember that the
best skill obtainable is none too good
in dealing with cancer. There is no
drug or serum which will cure it.

An assistant bank cashier in Kansas
takes nearly 100000 worth Of Liberty
Bonds and plays the stock market. And
loses it.
Now the bank is suing the broker
age firm with whom the man dealt, for
recovery of the money.
Department stores, argues the banks
lawyer, take pains to find out the
credit rating of their charge custom
ers. Why, then, shouldn't broker
age house do the same with its pat
rons2
Timely inquiry of course would have
established that the cashier couldn't
have come by the bonds honestly.
But there is no definite law on the
subject. The banks suit raises a new
and interesting question. It's outcome
