eral offices of the 236 companies own
ing the 318 plants under observation.
Major technical positions are held
by nearly one third (31.7 per cent? OF
the college men, while the sales and
distribution departments, which in
this industry often require consider
able technical knowledge, draw the
next higher number (26.4 per cent? OF
the college trained men in the indus
try. The remaining pit per cent OF
college graduates are found in super
visory and technical positions in the
production and commercial depart
ments.
A similar distribution of college
graduates is found in the rubber in
dustry, where 43.9 per cent of the
higher executive posts are held by
them. In the paper and pulp indus
try, 1928 per cent of the bigger execu-
tive berths, and sos per cent of the
major technical jobs are occupied by
college graduates. In the textile in
dustry, where somewhat different
conditions peculiar to the industry ap-
pear to prevail, most of the college
men were found as heads and over
seers in the manufacturing depart
ments, according to the Conference
Boards survey.
The college graduates in technical
positions, as in the engineering, draft
ing and laboratory departments of the
Metal Trades and Rubber industries,
come almost entirely from technical
schools, but those holding higher adj
ministrative positions in the general
offices include a considerable proper
ton of graduates with purely acade-
mic or other than engineering train
ing In the Metal Trades industry,
1853 per cent of the men holding high
executive posts are technical college
graduates, while 1873 per cent have
taken academic and business courses.
In the rubber industry % per cent of
the higher executives are technically
trained men, and 21.7 per cent of gem
eral academic or business course
training, showing an almost even
division. In the paper and pulp in
dustry, 81 per cent of the bigger
executives are technical college
graduates, and only per cent men
with academic or non-technical college
training.

Man Killed at Bain's Sta
ton Believed to be
julius Eckfield.
MAKING INVESTIGATION
Judge Slater, Acting for Cor
oner Friend, Carries On In
vestigatiOn of Mans Death.

Trying to hop freight to beat his
way probably caused the death of the
man who was found along the track
of the Chicago and Northweste
tracks near the Balm station on
nesday afternoon, according to the
port of Judge John c. Slater, who act
ed as coroner in the absence of Coro-
ner Joseph Friend. The Diseased is
believed to be Julius Eckfeld, brick
layer, 312 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago,
as cards bearing this name were found
in the pockets of his coat.
Efforts are being made to commun1-
cate with that address in. Chicago and
establish absolute identification Of the
body. Meanwhile the remains have
been brought to the Hansen Funeral
Home on Park avenue.
Was Seen By Workmen.
The mans badly mangled body was
found by several workmen who are
members of a section crew engaged in
making track improvements at the
Balm station freight yards. He was
recognized as man who had been
seen throughout the day either walk
ing up and down the tracks or lying
asleep in the sun on the top of
boxcar near. the place where his body
was found. He had been seen alive
less than a half hour before the body
was found.
Meanwhile the freight train, due at
Balm station about 2:30 had passed
through and it is believed that the
man attempted to hop on the freight
md xuoe hi1rled tn hic death
John James, John Jaikis and Harry
Loups, three workmen, found the body.
The man was dead when they found
him, having a fracture skull a crush
ed leg and other injuries.
Reports that the man may have pur-
posely jumped in front of the train
were being Investigated this after
noon. Some of the workmen declare
that during the morning the man had
been seen trying to shove a piece Of
glass down his throat and it is thought
possible that this may have been an
attempt at suicide. which he later
complished by jumping under
train. This evidence is also being
cured for the coroner's jury. -
Look for Companions.
The only clew to the identity Of the
dead stranger was in bricklayers'
union card which was found in his
pockets, giving the name and address
mentioned above. Workmen at the
station declared that there had been
another man with him some of the
time during the day but efforts to To-
cate this man were futile. 1t is pos
sible that this other man may have
been successful in hopping the freight
train and went on not knowing that
his friend had been killed.
WorkInen who had seen the pair
stated that they acted as if they might
have been under the influence Of
liquor.
as there any gin mill around here
anyplace ~ Judge Slater asked as he
carried on the investigation.
"Not that we know Of" was the re-
ply from the workmen.
The dead man was dressed rs a
workman; he appeared to be about
forty years Of age, had little money
in his pockets and only q. few cards,
all Of which tended to strengthen his
identification as Julius Eckfeld, Chi
cago bricklayer.

oner's inquest. In this way testimony
which he gave will also be used at the
inquest into his own death. This IS
the first time that such a coincidence
has occurred in Kenosha county.
There has been little change in the
condition of the two lads who were
hlrt in the accident and hopes are
still held out that they will recover.
They are John Rutkowski, son of the
driver of the car who was killed, and
Albert Rusczyk, son of the second vic
tim of the crash.

Theophilus Rusczyk is widely known
in Racine. He was vice-president of
the Junction Furniture company of
that city and had a wide acquaint-
anceship in the Junction business dis
trict of Racine. He is survived by
his wife and by his son, Albert, who
is still suffering from injuries receiv-
ed in the accident. They vera visiting

Gives Warning of
Newest Thievery
Kenosha Police Warn Physicians Here
| of New Type of Thievery Rampant
Along North Shore Cities.

Kenosha physicians were warned to-
day to take close watch of their auto
mobiles parked in the business dis
tricts of the city or when out on
calls. There is being reported along
the lake shore what appears to be an
organized group of bandits who have
made hobby of robbing physicians
automobiles for their grips and medi-
cines. Two such robberies were re-
ported in Racine on Friday and Off
Gals there were quick to notify other
cities to be on the lookout for any
suspicious loking men searching cars.
1t is believed that the robbers are
working for medicine grips to get GER
tain apparatus and in the hopes of
finding quantities or dope. No cases
of robbery of this kind have been re-
ported to the police as yet but the
warning has been issued to prevent
any such occurrence here.

Spring Fever and Urge to
Expression Causes Girl
to Leave Home.
HAD WALKED ALL DAY
Girl from Milwaukee Is Picked
Up at Night on Milwaukee
Rd. and Brought Here.

A different kind of girl came into
the hands of the police Friday night
She wasn't the gay kind but the good
kind. And the right kind of motorisi
happened to pick her up. Someone
driving a car on the Milwaukee road
Friday evening came upon girl, walk
ing along as if in the extreme stages
of fatigue. The motorist gave the girl
ride, and learned that she had come
from Milwaukee on foot and was try
ing to get into Kenosha. The driver
whose name has not been ascerta1ned
took the girl in the car, brought her
into Kenosha, and when he met
nolice officer turned the girl over to
him.
It was Police Officer Otto Pollesch
who was given custody of the girl and
the officer brought her directly down
to the police Office, where Mrs. Mcneil
the policewoman, was summoned.
Tells Two Stories.
The girl gave her name as Sadie
Banech, and her address as Town OF
Lake. near Milwaukee. At first she
said that she had gotten a message
early Friday morning notifying heI
that her mother had been hurt In an
accident and that she should come at
once to Kenosha. Sadie was vague
about the details. Asked where she
was to come, she said to "the heart
of the city" but no address to gulde
| her.
In appearance the girl did not LOOK
like the "wild" fappers who are some
times brought in on charges OF one
sort and another, and indeed in this
case there was no charge against her
Soon the true story was revealed
Wants To Be Writer.
Sadie is sixteen. She wore blue
| stocking cap, one of those checker
board cowboy shirts, four-in-hand
tie and plain blue shirt. She may
have been trying to look as much as
possible like Mary Roberts Rinehart
when-she-was-young or the late Gene
| Stratton Porter :.
For later on she confessed that 1t
was the ambition of her life to become
writer. Her attempts were laughed
at at home by her mother, she said
and she was treated unkindly by her
stepfather. She said that Thursday
night they had hot argument at
home on the subject of RUSSIA" and
that in the midst of the argument her
step-father threw plate at her.
Friday morning she said she set out
| to get to Kenosha. She walked most
of the way but got lift once from a
woman who had a little boy with her,
she said.
Sadie spent the night at the deten-
ton home, and this morning Mrs.
! Mcneil decided to connect with the
Juvenile Protective association in Mil
waukee to investigate Sadies home
conditions to find out if there was in
deed the environment there that the
young girl complained Of.

Harry Swanson Couldn't
See BOxcars at the
*. ID. Tracks.
PLEADS GUILTY TODAY
Gets Sentence of SIS and Costs
and In Addition Forty
Days at Hard Labor.

Harry Swanson driving q Ford
coupe north on Ridge street Friday at
1880 p. m. collided with a slow NOV
ing freight train on the X. D. tracks.
The train was entirely across the
street intersection when Swanson
driving blindly, shot his automobile
directly ahead into one of the box
cars. One of the results was the in
evitable, the entire front of the Ford
coupe was damaged.
The two passengers, Swanson and
julius Logan, escaped unhurt from
the wreckage, and then another result
followed, just as inevitably as the
first. Swanson was arrested by the
police for driving an automobile while
intoxicated.
Comes Into Court Today.
According to the police who made
the arrest, Swanson was so drunk that
he could not stand on his feet and
his companion, it was said, admitted
that they had "few drinks of wine"
Swanson spent the night in the city
lookup and this morning was brought
of drunken driving.
At first Swanson hesitated over the
charge. Judge Slater read it to him
and then asked: "What have you to
say, guilty or not guilty"
"Well, / wasn't what you would call
intoxicated" said Swanson.
Again the court urged him to give
al nd %
PENDANT said, 81 had had few glasses
of wine, but I wasn't what you would
call intoxicated"
Then he pleaded guilty.
"Are you married 2" asked the court,
and the defendant said he was not.
The court, however, was informed that
Swanson was the sole support of his
mother.
Comes Under Huber Law.
He was given a sentence of SIS
and costs or thirty days in the county
Jail with an additional sentence of 40
DAYS in Jail at hard labor.
eff you are telling me the truth"
said Judge Slater, "and your mother
is indeed entirely dependent upon you
for support, the sheriff will make a
contract for you and your wages will
be collected, while you are out at
work. Your mother will get all of
your wages. But you will have to
spend every night and every Sunday
in Jail, and every Saturday afternoon
too if you are not working.
"This driving while intoxicated is
about the worst thing you could do. 1t
isn't safe for you, and it isn't safe
for anybody else who is on the road
at the same time that you are"

SHOWS NEED FOR
COLLEGE MEN
Men at Top Are Primarily
College Graduates Sur
vey Shows.
HAS A BETTER CHANCE

Interesting and pertinent conclu-
sions relating to the question what
is college training worth to the young
man entering industrial life ?" may be
drawn from the results of a series of
studies of the relation of college edu-
cation to the industries now being
made by the research staff of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board.
Opinion of executives as to the
value of college men in business var
les widely. Just how the college
trained man fares in the industries,
what are his advantages and what his
drawbacks, and what is being done to
bring college training closer to the
practical requirements of the indus
tries is interestingly revealed in the
surveys Of four industries thus far
completed The results of these four
inquiries also disclose that the value
of college education, as now conduct
ed, varies somewhat in the different
industries.
Always Room at Top.
While 'there is always room at the
top" survey of the Metal Trades in
dustry, for instance, indicates that al
most half the positions Eat the top
are held by college graduates. This
survey covered 318 plants, employing
a total of 106,500 persons. Men hold
