FOR SICK BENEFITS
Kenosha Woodmen Hear
Plan to Care for Sick and
Disabled Members
NO FINAL ACTION IS TAKEN

The members of the Pike Woods
Camp of the Modern Woodmen of
America took up the important ques-
tion of providing sick benefits for the
members at the meeting held on Tues
day evening and while no final action
was taken in the matter it is pretty
certain that some plan along this line
will be brought before the camp at it's
next meeting. The members of the
Kenosha camp have been invited to
join with the Talbot Mutual Benefit
association connected with the Talbot
camp of the order in Milwaukee. This
is an organization within the Milwau-
kee camp and the provisions are that
the members pay into the general fund
the sum of thirty-fve cents month
with the understanding that they re-
ceive from it 81 weekly in case of i'll
ness. The Hon. A. f. Barker, H. L.
Westfall, Charles Buchta and Charles
Clouthier, representing the Talbot asso
citation came to Kenosha and explained
the plans of the association and asked
the Kenosha members Of the Woodmen
to come into their organization. The
local camp named a committee to look
into the matter with the understanding
that areport is to be made at the next
regular meeting of the camp There
seems to be a sentiment in favor Of
the formation of such an organization,
but the leaders of the Kenosha camp
seem to favor an organization of their
own rather than union with some
Milwaukee organization of large mem
.bership.
The matter of the five cents month
benefit plan was also discussed on Tues
day night, but in the light of the
propositions made by the Milwaukee
men the matter was laid over to later
meeting. Members of the order are
taking great deal Of interest in the
matter.

SEEK CHECK FoRGER.
Two Men Wanted for Working in Ra-
cine Thought to be in Kenosha Now.

The police received telephone mes
sage from Racine this morning asking
them to make an effort to secure the
arrest of two men wanted in that city
for uttering a false check. The check
was passed at the Belvidere hotel and
it purported to be signed by the Chi
cago Daily News. The men are alleg-
ed to have come to Kenosha on Tues
day, but as yet nothing has been found
of them here. The banks have been
warned to look out for any forged
checks and all checks being cashed at
present are being carefully considered.
The man who cashed the check gave his
name as j. J. Jesse and it is claimed
that he is not known at the offices of
the Chicago newspaper.

Or. re. SHER0 THE SPEAKER
Many Members of the Clergy Including
Bishop Webb of the Milwaukee
Diocese are Here to Take Part in
Annual Observance
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

From Wednesday Dally.)
Kemper hall was in festival attire
today for the annual celebration of
Founders Day and the usual large
number of former Kemper Hall stu
dents returned for the ceremonies while
well known members of the clergy
from all over Wisconsin and many
from the Chicago diocese came to take
part in the ceremonies of the day.
Founders Day is always one of the
most interesting days Of the school
year at Kemper Hall. 1t is the first
real ceremonial of the year and comes
as harbinger of the commencement
exercises.
In addition to the former students
and members of the clergy who came
for the day many of the Associate Sis
tcrs Of st. Mary from Chicago, Mil
waullee and other cities came to attend
the services of the day.
The ceremonies for the day were in
keeping with the usual custom at the
hall. Spring flowers were everywhere
in evidence everywhere about the hall.
All the buildings were richly decorated
with flowers and plants and the KEN
per Hall flower, the marguerite, was to
be seen everywhere.
The annual ceremonies were held at
st. Peters chapel. There was choral
celebration of the holy communion in
charge Of the Rt. Rev. W.. w. Webb,
bishop of the Milwaukee diocese, as
sisted by the Rev. Fred Maryon, chap
lain of the hall and visiting members
of the clergy. The annual Founder s
Day sermon was preached by the Rev.
T. E. Shero, D. D., warden of Racine
college. In his sermon he referred es-
pecially to the great work done for the
church and for education by Bishops
Armitage and Kemper, the missionary
bishops of Wisconsin, who were instru-
mental in the founding Of Kemper Hall.
He referred to the splendid record Of
the school and held that it was the
best monument that could be erected
as a testimonial to the lives of these
early men of the church in Wisconsin
who had given to the church and to
the school their entire lives.
Following the service at the chapel
there was the annual march of the
young women students ending at Mem
orial hall where wreath of flowers
was placed on the picture of each of
the men regarded as founders of the
school. In the long list were the pict-
ures of Bishops Armltage and Kemper,
Bishop Nicholson, the Rev. John B.
Draper, the Rev. i. Lance, and others
who have been active in the work of
the school in past years.
The annual, luncheon was given
by the Mother Superior at which COW
ers were laid for two hundred people
including the studellts and visitors for
the day. In the evening the annual
Founder Day party Will be given at
the Simmons gymnasium.
At the gymnasium on Tuesday even
ing the annual Offering Of the Kemper
Hall Dramatic club was given. It. was
a French play beautifully staged and
all the parts being taken by members

Winged Photographers

Now let us consider, says a writer
In the Strand. how the winged pho
tographer is educated in the use OF his
instruments; for he requires a special
training and has to pass through his
apprenticeship. in the first place he
has to become accustomed TO wear a
sort Of harness, which supports the APP
paratus, consisting Of two straps Of
india rubber snd soft leather, which
cross over his back and are attached
to n thin aluminium plate below his
body. Thus harnessed, the pigeon is
taken to a distance from its home, and
there released. At first he displays
considerable resentment at his new
form Of servitude, and struggles with
wings. beak and claws to rid himself
Of his encumbrance. But in a little
while, finding all his efforts vain, he
resigns himself to his fate.
Next he has to learn to carry the
camera itself, attached to the plate by
means OF a slot or slide. Then comes
a new struggle and new resignation.
In the course of a fortnight the bird
flies as contentedly with the little black
box on his breast as an old soldier with
his knapsack on mis- back.
Then comes the day Of his first
actual taking of photograph. Let us

suppose that 1t is desired to secure b
view OF village situated at distance
OF eight miles from his cot. His owner
takes him three or four mixes beyond
the village. in a straight line with the
birds home. Next, in order that the
shutter may be sprung at the moment
of passing over the village he reckons
how many minutes from the start the
flight to this point will occupy. Sup
pose that the time of flight to the spot
of which 1t Is desired to secure a view
work out at 4 mintes, 10 seconds, then
all that remains to be done is to reg
ulate the apparatus accordingly. In

only one photograph in a single flight,

leased. The air escapes slowly until

tograph is taken.
