It came direct from Washington to Mayor L. J. Ynger and forms the basis for the first accurate tabulation; of Waukegan'a gains in the new bill. To sum up the situation as it is revealed in tne bill, Waukegan gets tts exterior breawkuter extended to the ashore, at a cost of $251,000, and dredging near the lake end of the nocth jetty, at a cost of $15,000. That much, under the terms of the bill, will be done by the government re- gardless of the construction of a bulk. head across the front of the city park by the city. _ 1 The enlarging of the innef harbor, estimated to cost $38,000, however, is contingent on the erection of the bulkhead in front of the city park by the city. ' Bill in Congress to Aid Improvement of 7 the Waukegan Harbor Twu youthful sailors at the Great Lakes Naval Training station, Ned H. Walker of Dryden, Mich., and Jerry DeVugt of Flint, Mich., last week were absolved of blame for the death of Merle A. Douglas, 82, who was found strangled to death in a Chicago hotel room, Monday morning. The youths admitted having been with Douglas in the Chicago hotel und they also admitted that they had struck him in an argument, but I ou-unur's ju‘ry held that they were justified in striking the man in self- tlvfense. . by his wife. The curunor's jury held that the twu sailors were not responsible for the death and that aeeidental'sufta. catiuntaused by the fight in the hotel mom had taken the man's life.

REVOLUTION IN FARM LIFE B DISCLOSED Survey Made by Means of I ters from Residents Tells of Changes We can't understand why married men should prefer talking pictures to the old silent one. A survey uf American farm 'life, designed. to show the revolutionary changes which have taken place dur. ing the past decade, has Just been completed by a jury of 13:431. resi- dents of farms and smaller cities, under the direction of Farm and Fire- side, national farm magazine. Subjects Included The questionnaire, in one section, asked the jurors to cheek off, in a list of 21 subjects, those in which they were most interested. The lead- ing favorites 9f all subjects were: "World Events" and "Modern Thought," which were selected by 36 per cent of the voters. "Child Train- ing" was second with 29 per cent of ull votes cast; "Books and Music," 19 per cent; "Building Plans," 19 per cent and “Gardening for Beauty," 12 per cent. Among professional farm sub- jects only "Poultry" and "Crops and Sails,” were ahead of books and music and both of these Were below ques- tions concerning child training, youth and national events. Answers to a four-page question- naire showed an overwhelming in- terest in how to live rather than how to 'Yep, living, and an interest in subjects bther.than speeifie advice on farming. Residents of the rural communities taking part in the survey showed a decided tendency to~cling to the old moralities that go with the problem of living rather than of making money, but there was also evidence that the grip of old-time religion on the farms and small towns is slipping. Only 16 per cent of the Jurors under the age of 20 years favored adher- ence to the old preachmenta; 19 per cent of those between 21 and 30 ad- vocated such adherence; between 31 and 40, 32 per cent; between 40 and 50, 33 per cent; between 51 and 60, 44 per cent and over tu, 86 per cent.
