No More Log Cabins

The chances of being born in a log cabin grow less
all the time, for two reasons One is the increasing
scarcity of log cabins and the other the increasing
popularity of maternity hospitals Public Welfare
Commissioner Coler of New York shrewdly remarks
that our future Presidents will be born in hospitals.
They will be all the better for it, too. In contem-
plating the number of great in our national his
tory who first the light in log houses, usually
forget the number of babies that died there for lack
of proper equipment and The maternity ward
is much safer place.
The log cabin nevertheless, is regarded with sentl-
mental regret it disappears 1t is woven into our
pioneer history and is lasting symbol of vigor, cour-
age and achievement 1t is also picturesque in world
that is rapidly being sawed, planed and painted to
tame uniformity.
There will be a vogue for log cabins again, sooner
or later But then they will be uXuries. Only the rich
will be able to afford them because they take more
lumber than any other kind of construction.

Officers Ernst and Turkel-

MOON AND HOME BREW
Thad Rosinski and John Shi-
manowskis Arrested as Re-
suit of 6 A. M. Raids.

A cup of coffee, a coddled egg and
little fruit is enough for some peo-
pie for breakfast, but others, strange
to relate do not think the day is
started right unless they have "shot''
before the factory whistle blows.
The police department have learned
of the workmen who arrive at their
appointed places of mornings with a
breath that is worse than garlic,
hailing straight from the distilleries
of moonshine.
This morning the officers were sent
out to get not the customers but
the vendors.
Hit Two Liquor Shops.
Police Officers Ernst and Turkelson
went forth this morning at six-thirty
o'clock to see if they themselves
could find "eye-openers" for so much
apiece to be had.
At the place Of John Shimanowskis,
Is North Main street, the two police
officers were sold home brew. The
proprietor was therefore arrested on
two charges, possession and sale of in
toxicating liquor, to-wit: home brew.
Audu hOeAHShis II NoEbH haAAl
street, was arrested for possession and
sale of moonshine, as result of the
police raid. In his place, the two Of
fcers secured two glasses of true
"eye- openers" of the modern brew.
Continue Making Raids.
The police make trips of inspection
to so-called "soft-drink" parlors fire.

are not very successful when the
police car drives up at the door of a
saloon, and a sergeant in uniform
attended by the rest Of the sponge
squad, enter. AS rule by the time
the uniformed men appear in the sa-
loon there is nothing to be found on
the place except pop and ginger ale.
The practice of making visits dur
ing the noon rush hour and at night
when men come from work, has been
more successful.

CITY WINS IN
ZONING CASES
Two Orders to Show Cause
Dismissed in Circuit
Court Friday.
UPHOLDS coming LAW

UNFOLDING the city coming ordinance,
Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit court
on Friday afternoon dismissed two or
ders to show cause why J. M. Albers,
building inspector of Kenosha, should
not be dir ted to issue permits for
the building of structures which he
claimed were being erected in viola
ton Of the present coming ordinance.
The decisions uphold the legality of
the zoning ordinance as it touches up
on the erection Of buildings for non
conforming uses according to the pres
emit coming regulations of the city.
The first case was that of Stanley
Duba, 335 Pleasant street, who sought
a permit for the erection of a new
store building adjoining ons which he
is now using. City Building Inspector
Albers maintained that this was non
conforming use for the district in
which it is located and therefore re-
fused the permit.
Duba, through his attorney, Leo
Vaudfeuill, appealed to the courts to
test the legality of the ordinance, the
first step in this action being on the
order to show cause why the building
inspector should not be directed 10 is
sue the permit in question. The court,
upon the motion of City Attorney Cliff
ford E. Randall; dismissed the order
and directed that the costs for the &C
tion be paid by the plaintiff.
The second case was a similar one.
Ignatz .Riczkowski, s33 Newell street,
desired a permit to make an addition
to building now used for store pur-
poses. 1t was claimed by the city that
this was a non-conforming use in that
zone and while it could be continued
during the life of the building, no
structural changes in the building
could be made. The city was also up
held in this case. Attorney Vaudreuill
also appeared for Riczkowski and City
Attorney Randall represented Kenosha.

Must Decide Early
for Training Camps
Employees of Industry and Commercial
Businesses Who Go to Military
Traings Camps Apply at Once.

Early selection of Citizens Military
Training Camp candidates is urged on
employers who have assisted in fill
ing the ranks at Camp Custer, by
Colonel Noble Brandon Judah, civilian
aide to the Secretary of War for the
Sixth Corps Area. In statement sent
out by the C. M. T. C, headquarters
here Colonel judah says:
"Desire for the training supplied
by citizens military training camps
throughout the country has grown
faster than the accommodate sup
piled by the government. Consequent
ly, those who have to wait until the
last few days to apply will be disap-
pointed. Among these might be many
of the most valuable students at the
camps so the employers throughout
this corps area which includes Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin are urged to
do all in their power to coordinate
with the c. M. T. A. In this way
young men who wish to take the train
ing may be assured of their vacations
during the time when their camps
opens.
"If these young men have to wait
until quite late to find out the date
of their vacations they will have little
chance of getting into the camp as
the quota. probably will be filled much
earlier this year than last. Camp
Custer can take care of 1000 students
this year and more than half of the
quota already is in.
"Chicago has not held up its own
with the rest of the corps area in the
sending of young men to the camp.
Employers in Cook county, however,
are setting a good example to the rest
of the country by the interest taken
in the securing of students for the
camp. A special effort will be made
this year to get the Cook county quota
up to its full strength. More than E
thousand men should go from this
county"

CITY CLEANUP
BEGINS TODAY
Find City Half Secured as
Official Period of Two
Weeks Begins.
NEED MORE ATTENTION

A preliminary survey of the city
conducted by officials of the depart
ment of public works, the city health
department and by squads of Boy
Scouts over the weekend shows that
Kenosha has entered the spirit of the
slogan "Clean-Up Time-Make Keno
sha Shine" Large sections OF the
city have already been covered and
the reports from these sections are
most encouraging. They show that
the tenants and property holders have
gone ahead without waiting for the
official cleanup campaign to begin and
have cleaned up yards, alleys, lots
and Easements so that now the work
in many sections of the city is done.
But if there are Kenoshans who
were conscientious enough and scrup-
ulous enough to do their cleaning be-
fore hand there are as many who have
done nothing yet. In many cases these
have been asked by some Boy Scout
to give attention to some condition
that ought to be removed or taken
care of in some other way. Some
have complied with the request while
others have ignored it.
Ask For Further Cooperation.
Officials who are conducting the
campaign in Kenosha are asking these
people to do their share of the clean
ing up so that by the end of this week
the work of identifying the city will
be more than half done, and so that
at the end of the second week, when
the campaign closes, reports can be
presented showing that all Kenosha
has taken on new appearance as a
result Of these efforts.
In addition to presenting a better
and more wholesome atmosphere in
which to live, it is pointed out that
the cleanup and paint up campaign
develops community spirit. Through
this campaign all classes of people
learn to work and to play together.
Chronic knockers are led into tho
ranks of the boosters.
Makes 1t A Habit.
This campaign helps not only to
clean up but to publicly and per-
mainly commit to cleanliness and at
Effectiveness everything cleaned up
The mere cleaning is transient and flu
