Frenchman Predicts
Bitter Cold Weather
Able Gabriel Says 1t Will Be As Cold
As Famous Winter of 1S40
In England.

Caen, France.-.--l lit is going to
be a cold winter all around the 41st
parallel of latitude, as cold as the
winter of 1740 in England, when the
Thames frose over. This prediction is
made by Able Gabriel, Frances most
distinguished metorologist and pro-
lessor in the University of Caen.
"New York, Chicago, and. all Of
Canada, and the whole of the northern
part of the United States will have a
bitterly cold winter, which ought to
set in about the middle of December
or early in January" said the priest
metorologist to the Associated Press.
"This is my prediction, based on my
system of weather forecast. / may
be wrong, of course, but if the winter
is cold, as / have said it will be, it
will be proof that astrononlic cycles
do exist and it will go far toward es-
tablishing scientific basis for mete-
orology. France, Germany and Eng
land will have big share in the cold
weather"

MILK PRODUCERS
LOSING BATTLE
Fight Against Tuberculin
Test in County Is Los
ing Ground.
PLAN TEST LAW HERE
tOfficiaIs Have Faith in Area
Test Plan Now Being Tried
Out in Wisconsin.

The war among dairy farmers OF Ke-
nosha and Racine counties against the
order demanding that their milk supply
of the future must be from tuberculln
tested cows if they want their product
accepted, was precipitated by the
Wheatland Dairy Company as a test
measure. The Wheatland company
notified all it's customers that they must
sign up within a4specified time, in
ccnformance with tuberculin test orders
coming out of Chicago, or their pro-
duct would not be accepted.
The purpose of the dairy company
was to learn what the attitude OF
the farmers is, in anticipation of the
time when all shipments will have to
be from tuberculin tested cows. II
their old patrons refuse to sign, the
dairy company plans to go farther
north for their milk supply, where the
herds are all tested.
Many Battle the Order.
Many Of the farmers have signed,
but large percentage are battling the
order. Montrose farmers refused to
sign and their milk has been refused.
At Bristol practically all the farmers
have signed up with the Bowman Dairy
company under a similar order. In
Wilmot there are two factions.
The farmers who bring their milk
supply to Kenosha are signing up rap
idly and voluntarily, according to Of
ficials in charge of Kenosha's milk
supply. There is no compulsory tuber-
culin test ordinance in the city now,
but steps have already been taken to
provide one. City Manager Osborn has
asked the city council to amend the
milk ordinance to include the tuber-
culin test.
Area Test in Favor.
The enforcement of the state test
law out over the county is in the
hands of County Farm Agent Judson
Williams. The area test law is being
given a thorough trial in the state,
Fifteen counties have already tried it
out and express satisfaction at its
working. The plan is to order every
head of cattle in an entire county given
the tuberculin test, Dairymen favor
the plan, as it insures healthy herds
against contamination by infected cows
or neighborhood farms. The area test
has not yet been tried out in Kenosha
county.
Officials announce that tuberculin
testing will in no way have any effect
on the pasteurization of milk. The
milk supply will continue to be pas
teurized, it is stated. The tuberculin
test is merely an added precaution
against disease. 1t is unofficially es-
timated that 20 percent of the dairy
cows in Kenosha county are infected
with tuberculosis.

MUSIC TEXT BOOK
JUST OFF PRESS
Third Book in Schubert
Club Course, Musical
Instruments"
INTERESTING AS NOVEL

Third in the series of books for a
course of study outlined by the Ma
tional Federation of Music clubs, EMU
steal instruments" by Edgar Stillman
Kelley, is just off the press of the
oliver Ditson, company, Boston.
The Kenosha Schubert club is fol-
lowing the course of study and has al
ready completed the first book on
fundamentals. The club is now using
the text, "From Song to Symphony"
The new book brings together in a
compact compass of 2S0 pages infor-
nation not heretofore available out
side of musical encyclopedias. les
reliability is the outstanding and as
tonishing fact to the person who. takes
it up without any previous enthusiasm
for his subjects
Interesting as Fiction.
History, philosophy, fact and science
are blended in a fascinating fashion
which makes one quite loath to lay
down the book as an average piece of
fiction.
Mr.. Kelley's years Of experience in
writing for the largest and highest
types of musical organizations have
given him fund of practical informa-
tion probably unequaled in this eoun-
try. The natural scholarly trend of
his mind has brought to the pages
many historical and philosophical
paragraphs which the average must
cian would not have included.
This book supplements the work
started by Prof. Karl w. Gehrkens, en-
titled "The Fundamentals of Music
which was followed by "From Song to
Symphony" by Prof. Daniel Gregory
Mason. Like these, Mr.. Kelley's book
is to be used as text throughout the
United States by the study classes
arranged under the direction sOf the
National Federation of Music clubs.
Wife is President.
An interesting coincidence is the
fact that the present president of the
National Federation Of Music clubs
is the wife of the author of the text.
The book, however, was conceived and
planned three years ago when such
an honor for Mrs. Kelley seemed a
long way in the future.
The study course Of the Federation
contemplates four years ago of work,
each year with its own text. "Epochs
in Musical Progress" by Prof. Clar-
ence G.. Hamilton is to be the last of
these works, and will be published
late in 1925.

County taxes totaling $581,S96.46,
representing the tax levy for Kenosha
county for the year 1925, collectible
in 1926 were levied by the Kenosha
County Board of Supervisors Monday
afternoon at the closing meeting of the
November session Of the board. The
resolution authorizing the levying Of
these taxes also directed the county
clerk to apportion the amounts among
the several towns and the city of Ke
nosha according to the valuation fig
ures accepted by the board earlier in
the session.
This budget of 1851, S96.46 for the
year 1925 is S46,256.66 less than the to-
tai Of the budget for last year, which
total was $627,653.12. These totals in
clude not only all taxes which are pro-
rated among the towns and the city
of Kenosha according to assessment
figures, but also the special charges
made against some of the districts by
reason of the school loans or other spe-
cial assessments against individual
districts.
County Tax Is Increased.
The general county tax for the year
1926 was increased to 100000 as
against $250,000 for the year previous.
A large part of this increase ~ $685.
795 was made necessary by reason
of the fact that $4,000 worth of road
bonds fell due along with S15,795 of
interest on the remainder of the road
bond issue. This leaves an increase
of Approximately $4,000 in the costs
of operating the county.
There Is no general state tax in the
levy inasmuch as the general state tax
was RENTED this year. That item last
year was $116,724.64. The state spe-
cial charges, however, were boosted
this year to $32, as against $685.
1O4 for last year. The county highway.
tar last year was $4,000 while this
year it jumped to $4,000, some of thar
increase due to the fact that the money
which had been expected from state
funds was far inadequate to meet the
needs of the county.

Clerk Iva, Russell, according to the val

Anderson's companions in the car in
which he was riding just before the
fatal accident, the railroad officials,
and other witnesses will be called to

lar young men in the city and had
been prominent in many varied activi-
ties among the younger men of Racine.
The deceased was born in Racine,
July IL, 1897. He attended the Howell
school, and also the high school for
one year. He spent some time in
classes at the Continuation school

Joseph Anderson, six brothers and
two sisters. The brothers are: Mar
tin, 1923 Victory avenue; George, 1910
Ann street; Walter, who is in the
navy, and Raymond, Russell and Leroy
at home. His sisters are Helen. who
lives at home, and Mrs. Edward Sun
degaard of 1923 Austin avenue. His
brother Walter was notified of the

CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE OPENS HERE
Kenosha Health Depart
ment Distributes 2OO,-
900 Seals Here.
PROCEEDS AID NURSE

Kenosha's annual sale of Christmas
seals, in furtherance of anti-tubercu-
losis work, was to be fully launched
today with the completion of distribu-
ton by DIR. G. Windesheim, city health
officer, of 100000 seals.
Distribution was to be completed to-
day by the placing of supplies of seals
with the Kenesha druggists, who an
nually supply the wants of Christmas
purchasers. Last week the first of the
seals were mailed out by the health
officers department to firms and indi-
viduals who requested them. In this
manner $4,000 were distributed.
The distribution and sale is annual
ly conducted in Kenosha by the Keno
sha Tuberculosis society, and fer
which DR.. Windesheim is seal sale
manager.
Of the proceeds of the sale of
these Christmas seals, the local So
ciety retains 30 per cent, while the
other SO per cent is turned over to the
state and national organizations. The
entire proceeds are used in the nation
wide war on the ravages of tubercu-
losis.
Nurse Maintained Here.
In Kenosha the money obtained an
nually from the sale of these seals is
used to defray the cost of the one day
and week tuberculosis free clinic, and
to pay the expenses of maintaining an
alf time tuberculosis nurse.
IL e. 4 al -
these seals is made in Kenosha as in
many other cities. The Community
Chest takes care Of Kenosha's chart
ties, and those in charge of anti-tu'
berculosis work in Kenosha cooper
ate in the annual Community Chest
drive and share in the benefits of that
fund.
A brief summary of the purposes
served by the sale of Christmas seals
over the state, is made as follows by
tn Wisconsin society:
They have conducted more thar
1850 chest examination clinics, al
which more than $4,000 examination
have been made, and 9,40O cases Of
tuberculosis have been discovered, tt
say nothing of the other condition;
important to health. These figures are
for the state of Wisconsin only. Ra'
cine clinics have had their share il
making up these totals.
Maintain Education Work.
Educational efforts supported by the
seals have helped to arouse the people
to the need of sanatoria, of which
Wisconsin now has 10. The sanators
are not built with seal sale proceeds
nor supported by them, but the re-
alization of the need for these institu-
tions has been aroused to a great ex-
tent by the discovery of tuberculosis
through the clinics.
The Christmas seals have helped put
the modern health crusade into the
schools of many Wisconsin communi'
ties, teaching children the value Of
health habits in building up strong
bodies to resist tuberculosis and other
diseases.
Christmas seals have helped to edu'
cate teachers and nurses along public
health lines, which obviously bene'
fits any community which may be able
to secure these trained workers.
The first open-air school in Wiscon.
sin was equipped out of Christmas
seal funds. Wisconsin now has II
such schools, including the one in Ra.
cine. after the first one, the seals
paid for no more. But they showed
the way.

FRANK TYLIUS
ARRESTED AGAIN
Alleged BoOtleger Caught
By Meissner, Now On
Another Charge.
COPS RAID HIS PLACE
Red and Yellow Wine Besides
the Coloring Is Liquor
in New Haul.

Frank Tylius, who was shot in the
arm and charged with unlawful trans
portation of liquor after he gave the
police a chase of d mile and half
Tuesday night, found that the police
still have a jolly regard for his COM
pany when taey came calling upon
him Friday evening at his home.
Tylius, it develops, lives at 293 North
Rowland avenue, not on Tanek avenue
land avenue home that the police came
calling.
as he was originally booked at the
police Office. 1t was at his North How
The calling committee from the po-
lice Office consisted Of Sgt. Emil F.
Meissner, Detectives Walter Chase1and
Perry Tusler and Officers Erw'u Ernst
and Edward Radatz. Frank Tylius
was in bed, exhausted after the exper-
fence he had had with Sgt. Meissner
and Detective Tusler on IesdaY night
Perhaps the plice had come to call
as "sick committee" to see how the
patient was. He was certainly at home.
And certainly in bed. His wife was
at home too. She was lot very glad
to see the committee of visitors. She
refused them hospitable welcome in
manner that was by no means I'M
certain.
And here to cap the climax was the
present the police brought: not flow
ers, not bowl of white narcissus or
Chinese lily, or an armful of chrys-
anthemums, but search warrant!
Find the Evidence Too.
The search warrant was duly read
and then the squad comm anced to
search the place. They found plenty
of wine. There were 2h gallons Of
sacramento vine and 314 quarts of
yellow wine, and in addition they
found lot of coloring showing how
the wine was (not) aged. This was
found in the attic. In the garage, con-
cealed behind two doors which we're
leaning against the wall, the police
found quantity of empty cans.
Tylius was ordered to appear in
court to answer once more the charge
of unlawful possession of Intoxicating
liquor.
Meanwhile Chief of Police Logan has
commended the two police officers, Sgt.
Meissner and Detective Tusler of the
detective bureau for their activity on
Tuesday night. The commentator is
given in the last police bulletin and
reads as follows:
"Creditabl mention is hereby given
Sgt. Meissner and bet. P. Tusler for
their close attention to duty, alertness
and perseverance when they arrested
one Frank Tylius on the night of Nov.
"a. on charge of transporting liquor.
The officers recognized the bootiegger's
car. and when an attempt was made to
stop him, he refused, chase followed,
and after some shooting, Tylius was
stopped by bullet from Sgt. Meiss-
ner's gun"
