Briton Directs Use of ShlettO As a Positive
 Death Certificate

LONDON, Aug. 26. (P)-Sir George Greenwood, presiding recently at a meeting of the London Society for the Prevention of Premature Burial, said that he had given directions to those who would be his executors to plunge a stiletto into his heart after his death so as to make certain of it. He added that school mate of his, who became great surgeon, insisted that. the stabbing process be carried out as a precaution. Sir George declared he had no faith in the present so-called modern methods of certifying death.
 Miss Emily Axes, honorary secre- tary of the society, said that one of the best known men in England whose name was a household word, had once been placed in a casket as dead, and when about to be bur jed was found to be quite well and alive, and he had lived for some twenty years afterward.

EMPLOYES OF POSTAL
 APPEAR DISSATISFIED
 WITH RETIREMENT ACT

CLEVELAND, Aug, 26. (P-The present retirement act for postal employees will be the chief topic of speakers at the meetings of eight organizations that will celebrate DOS tai week" here August g to 29.
 At present, clerks and carriers re- tire at 65 and supervisors at 70 and are paid $6O a month, providing they have spent 30 years in the service. If they have served less than 30 years the pay is pro rated.
 Local postal workers say the provi- sions of the act are utterly made quate to meet reasonable service and employment needs. The annuity granted is so small that employees ap- pear to accept it only under pressure and the age for retirement is fixed so high as to practically defeat the very purpose for which the law was intended"
 The discussions on the retirement act are expected to take place at the meetings of the national associa- tion of postal supervisors, and uni ted national association of postof- flee clerks and the national rural letter carriers association.
 Other subjects to be discussed dur ing the week include the Effect of the New Postal Rates" and the "Ex- pansion of the Air Mail Service"

Semi-Annual Taxes
Are Hitting a Snag

Madison, Wis. A division of OPP
inion already has been heard in con-
nection with the proposed bill in the
state assembly to change the laws to
permit persons to pay taxes in half
yearly installments instead of in the
early part of each year.
Legislators from the northern part
of Wisconsin generally would vote
for the change, but assemblymen from
Milwaukee and large portion from
the farming districts Of central and
southern Wisconsin are outspoken
against such a measure. The Milwau-
kee objection is that paying taxes
twice a year would make considerab-
" more work and expense for tax col
lectors, besides necessitating many
changes in the method Of carrying on
city and county government, in max
ing up budgets and appropriations.
The agricultural objection to the
semi-yearly method of paying taxes
is that unless the final payment Of
taxes is arranged very Late in the
year, this portion Of tax payment
would be extremely awkward.
A similar bill was advanced in 9th
er legislatures and defeated. The bill
row in the process of preparation IS
by Miss Helen Thompson, assembly
woman from Price county.

Scholey is Again
on the Warpath
Constable Scholey, With Police Help
Nabbed a Still This Morning at
614 Fairfield Avenue.

Constable John Scholey, known as
the Crusader, was on the warpath
again this morning.
He swore out a warrant alleging
that there was liquor illegally at a
house located at GA Fairfield avenue
and with the help of Policemen Kirsch
and Ernie Radatz, raided the place and
found still in an upstairs room.
There were four barrels of rye mash
there, all of which with the exception
of a sample to be analysed, were de-
stroyed. The still was ripped out and
taken to the police office to be used
as evidence.
Lawrence Hratsky lives at the ad-
dress but was not named in the war
rant. He was not at home at the time
of the raid but his wife declared that
the still belonged to boarder whose
first name was Walter. She claimed
she knew no other name.
Hratsky was later arrested to answer
charge of having still in his pos
session.

Discuss Economics
of Farm Problems
Kenoshans Invited To Farm Confer
ence During Big Week at
Madison, Feb. to 6.

Why do some farms pay even in
periods of agricultural depression,
while others in the same neighbor-
hood, with the same kind of soil, same
climatic conditions, and the same
available markets, fail to make ex-
penses?
The answer to this question will be
the first subject on the program of the
Annual Farmers and Home Makers
Week which will be held at the Wis
consin College of Agriculture, Feb.
2 to 6, 1925. This and other problems
of vital interest TO Kenosha farmers
will be discussed by speakers of ma
tional reputation.
With farms Of the state at the pres
ent time drifting more and more to-
ward the dairy industry. Wisconsin
agriculture is confronted with even
more troubles than those already
heaped upon it. Statistics gathered
show, almost without exception, that
farms which depend upon dairying as
the sole source of income are not the
most profitable. Dependence upon
wheat growing wrecked the fortunes
Of the farmers of the Dakotas. Will
dependence on the dairy industry
alone, prove as disastrous in Wiscon-
sin? Those who are interested in the
answers to these problems should not
ia to be in Madison, February to s.,

SET NEW AWARD
| FOR BOY SCOUTS
Achievement Badge for
Permanently Disabled
Scouts Designed.
AWARDED FOR MERIT

In the interest of the earnest scout
who is permanently handicapped by
grave physical disabilities, the Boy
Scouts Of America has originated a
new award, to be known as the Achieve
ment Badge. For those boys who
gain the award it will be passport
to further progress in Scouting.
The new badge has recently been
awarded for the .firsc time. Five out of
80 applicants secured it.
The Achievement Badge is the out
come of years Of special study and con-
sideration of the Scout who is physi-
cally disabled, but mentally and spirit
ually capable of advancement.
Although no Scout can reach second
or frst-class rank without passing all
the prescribed tests, the physically
handicapped scout who gains the A
chievement Badge may pass on to the
field of merit badge work. He is thus
permitted to work for merit award
in any of the 70 vocational subjects in
the scouting curriculum.
Boys Crippled for Life.
In two cases of the five cited, paraly-
sis of the lower legs is the drawback.
Both of the scouts suffering from this
handicap have passed every test for
second-elass rank, but that for Scouts
Pace.
In the third instance, the scout is
blind and has been totally disabled Tor
six years from Arthritis. This lad is
unable to pass frst-class rank tests
in swimming, map-making, hiking,
cooking observation and first aid.
The fourth scout is suffering from
Potts spinal disease. He is not able to
meet the frst-class rank requirements
in swimming.
The fifth lad has permanent hip
make the 14-mile hike as required for
frst-class rank.
One of the boys belongs to troop
Of lame scouts organized in home for
crippled children. His scoutmaster has
made application for Ia other perma-
nently handicapped members of the
troop for the new badge, so that these
lads may also progress in the ranks
and benefits of Scouting.
Weeks Best Good Turn.
The National Scout Court of Honor
has recently awarded the gold medal
for life-saving to Scout Rex Guinnee
of Tower Hill, Ind.
Through skill, courage and sheer
grit this boy last August rescued two
10-year-old lads from drowning IN
the river at Turkey Run Park, Ind.
Rex Guinnee, with members Of his
troop, was sitting on large rock
near the shore, when he noticed two
children locked in a desperate grip
struggling in the water. They were
about 35 feet from shore where the
current was swift, the river deep.
Guinnee, realizing the grave danger,
slid down the rock and dove into the
water, without stopping to remove
shoes or clothes Rapidly he stroked
to the drowning boys end vigorously
strove to secure hold on them. The
frantic pair, however, clutched their
friend and dragged him down. Coming
to the surface, the terrified boys con-
tinued their struggle and second time
Guinnee went down with them. But
the next time up found the Scout in
control. Grabbing one boy around the
waist and the other by the back of the
neck, he made shore with the exhaust
ed pair.

Little Probability
of Dry Law Repeal

Madison, Wis.-There- is apparently
little prospect that the Severson dry
law will be repealed at this session OF
the legislature. While fight may be
waged in the assembly to repeal the
same, those who have taken an in
formal poll Of the membership declare
that there is not enough strength in
votes for repeal in the assembly to
accomplish the purpose sought In the
senate the drys have the upper hand
and a bill to repeal, if one is intro
5uced there by the Socialist delega-
tion, as is the prospect, has virtually
no chance Many Of the vets in the
assembly also would vote against the
repeal of the Severson law, it has been
determined by the poll. While vets
may favor modification of the federal

Corporal Shows
Good Workmanship

Port-Au-P Prince, Haiti.-The partici-
patton of Haitian Gendarmerie rife
team in international and Olympic
matches in Europe this summer, and
their success, particularly in the
Olympics, where they tied France for
second place, resulted in keen compe-

matches.
For the first time native officers
handled the contests, the statistical
work being done by the marine Off

marine, but his final decision in the
three days shoot was called for only
once.
The individual championship match,
which carries the grand prize and an
autographed letter from the President
of Haiti, was won by Corporal L'Her-
rios, a novice, of the General depart
ment, with a score of AZ out of pos

Afford TALKS
OF PUBLIC LIFE
President of City Council
Discusses Amenities of
Office Holder.
Is NOT AN EASY TASK

Not all glory and honor is the lot
of the man in public Offices, particu-
larly in Kenosha, if the impressions
of w. H. Afford, president of the city
council offers a general criterion for
all of the city fathers. At least
Judge Afford has long ago realized
that membership on the city council
is not all roses and springtime. He
gave off these reflections in talk at
meeting of the Kenosha Optimist
club at the Elks' club on Monday
afternoon.
"A man in private life can select
his associates" Judge Afford declared,
"but when he is trying to serve the
public he must forget personalities
and treat with people Of every walk of
life. Kenosha is as cosmopolitan in
that respect, I suppose, as any other
community. Of course there are the
good, unselish people in every walk
of life just as there are the sinister,
selfish kind. Human nature would not
be complete without both kinds. Dur
ing the time that | have been on the
city council I have had contact with
all kinds. This association has been
at times very discouraging, but at
been most heartening. II treasure
among my best friends some of those
whose acquaintance I have made thru
official business and civic channels.
Loses and Makes Friends.
IA man in public Office should al
ways feel that what action he takes
while in that Office should be guided
by what he feels is best for the city
as whole. But that is oftentimes
have found you've done something
something perhaps you wish you
could have avoided. You may have
stepped on the toes of one of your
best friends. Perhaps he himself was
in favor of the measure you have
enacted until he found that it affected
him directly. And then he was OPP
posed. ~ find myself frequently in
such positions, and on many occasions
it has caused me some unhappiness.
81 have always been an optimist.
have great faith in human nature, in
the general run of people. / have
long since learned that in order to get
the greatest happiness out Of life
must retain my faith in humanity.
But that is very difficult thing for
a man in public Office if he is placed
in contact with many people who are
most often seeking to get, and seldom
seeking to give. This business of try
ing to serve the best interests of the
city is not an easy task"
Cement Workers Into Group.
The speaker continued to point out
how real personality and character
should permeate the relations between
employer and employee. He illustrat-
ed with the Nash Motors company, of
which he is vice-president and comp
troller, as an example.
''Nash employes-outsid of the
executive force-own over four and a
half million dollars worth of Nash
stock, based on the present market
value. We have found that this makes
for greater interest of the employe
in his work. Il don't doubt but what
that might be the solution of the ills
of capital and labor. Give labor a
share in the workings of capital and
both are interested in attaining the
same goal. Make the laborer feel that
he has a personal interest in the prod
uct he is working on and both will
