The day was filed with contests and
games, none of which was more inter
esting than the four games of volley
ball in which Judge Taylor and the
Andrew Stalls established their repu-
tation and won the pennant for the
day. The Married Men nosed out the
Single Men in a close nine to eight
contest of which no official recount of
the score has as yet been made. Vol
ley ball also had many devotees and did
its part in making the day enjoyable.
The chicken dinner at noon, with
out which all the rest would have fail
ed, was a revelation in the way rof
what a picnic dinner can do and was
of course one of the headliners on the
bill for the day This was supple
mented by an exceptional roast beef
supper, after which the picknickers re-
turned to their homes in the city. The
music for the day was furnished chiefly
by the excellent playing of the Herr
mann Orchestra. George Mueller, the
one armed fiddler, was well received
when he rendered several beautiful
and difficult numbers.
The complete success of the outing
was direct result of the untiring
and efficient work of the program com
mittee composed of John L. Haag, Mey
ers Christensen, Mingo Ruffalo, Christ
Augustine, Norman Dallas, John
Powell, Ted Loef, Henry Glerum. Geo.
Strangberg, Martin Christensen and ].
M. Hermann. The day as a whole
did much to cement the feeling of
friendship and true friendship which
exists among the members of the
Hermann Outing Club.

members of the organization with their
friends united in making it the most

Following Sheriff Hermann IS ad-
dress of welcome, Herman Roloff in
the chief address of the day, described
the life of Uncle Sam S sailors who are
now in training at Great Lakes Train
ing Station. The address was inter
esting throughout and was interpreted
with stories Of humor and human in
terest which won the audience. He de-
scribed how the life Of the jackie was
not the dull hum drum ordinarily sup
posed, but that the government had
the sailor IS training in such q
way as to make him both contented
and efficient. Following Mr.. Roloff,
short and interesting addresses were
made by Judges Taylor and Tully and
Attorney Peter Fisher, Jr., all of whom
emphasized the prevalence Of good fell
lowship in the club and it's outings.

Chance for Scouts
To Serue "Sann1ies'

Kenosha Boy Scouts have chance
to be helpful to the soldiers of the
United States serving in the army in
France. Up in Milwaukee the Bow
Scouts have undertaken the work of
collecting money for the tobacco fund
for the soldiers and they are pouring
a stream of gold into the Golfers of the
various organizations in charge of the
collection of the fund. With the
understanding that every twenty-five
cents contributed will send fifty cents
worth of tobacco to some soldier in
France the Milwaukee scouts are busy.
One of them on Monday brought in
ninety-one contributions to the fund.
Kenosha scouts are just as alert and
patriotic as the Milwaukee scouts and
it is certain that they viii get
into the swing of this movement
and help swell the fund.
The Evening News fund for tobacco
for the soldiers was increased TODAY by

WATER BOARD ACCEPTS PLANT
More Big Bills for Construction of
New Plant Allowed at Meeting
Held on Monday Night.

Held on Monday Night
The Board of Water Commissioners
at its regular meeting on Monday
evening, accepted other features of the
new Kenosha water plant and ordered
the payment of some of the large bills.
Included in this was the contract for
the pumping station, which has been
carried out by Klug and Smith of Mil
waukee. The cost of the station was
$51,112.33. The board also accepted
the work of Greiling Brothers in the
construction of the intake. The other
work done by this company will be
accepted later when proper repairs
have been made of the mains laid un-
der the harbor.
The board has made a provisional
acceptance of the new filtration plant,
but before the contract is paid
suitable bonds must be fled by the
contractor to insure the city against
any liability for damages under suits
which have been brought.
The members of the board spent
some time discussing extension of
mains. It was declared that the mains
are being extended just as rapidly as
possible. In some places where people
are anxious to get water no sewers
have been laid and the members of the
board hold that it is not economical
to put in water mains until after the
sewers have been laid. Just as soon as
these sewers are put in water will be
furnished to petitioning property owners

Banquet at Noon is Feature.

At the noon recess the financiers were
the quests of Kenosha bankers. VINO
served a seven course luncheon in the
sun porch adjoining the club house. The
menu was complete in very detail and
was enhanced by cabaret acts between
the various courses. The latter enter

How to Get Red Cross Members.

When Red Cross chapter has been
formally organized, as directed in a
former article, then-and never in any
case befOre-should Il public meeting
be called and q membership campaign
begun. In cases where public meet
ing is called first, there is usually a
great amount of enthusiasm aroused,
hundreds and thousands of persons de-
sire to become members and begin
work at once-and there is no way to
accommodate them. Sometimes the
best men are not chosen leaders, and
in any case the proper organization is
hampered.
Then. because the people cannot be
enrolled and put at active work at
once, their enthusiasm wanes, and by
the time the chapter is formally or
ganized and ready to proceed, inter-
est has abated.
But when a chapter has been prop
erly organized, end officered by men
and women in whom the community
has implicit confidence, and q member
ship campaign definitely mapped Out
In advance, public meetings, press no.
tees and all the forms of advertising
which a live committee may devise,
will be found of great advantage.
In the same way. the officers and
members of the executive committee
should learn everything possible about
the Red Cross, its purposes, its meth
ods and the way in which its work is
carried on, and be ready to answer

Luminous Eyes.

Cats among mammals, and owls
among birds. says w. H. Hudson in his
book idle Days in Patagonia" are the
most highly favored of any creatures
in the matter of luminous eyes. "The
feline eyes, as of a puma or wildcat,
blazing with wrath, sometimes affect
one like an electric shock; but for in
tense brilliance the yellow globes of
the owl are unparalleled" Mr.. Hud-
son asserts that nature has done COM
paratively little for the human eye
either in these terrifying splendors or
in beauty. He says that in Brazil he
was greatly impressed with the mag
nificent appearance of many of the ne
gro women; but that if they had only
possessed the golden irides" Of GER
tain intensely black tropical birds
their unique loveliness" would have
been complete.-Outlook.

Rose, ''the Poiret model you showed
me before the others came in? I'll
try it on"
The saleswOman's manner was diff
ferent now, and she grumbled some
thing about it's being closing time.
"Then, # you'll bring it at once :"
said Rose. And the saleswoman went
on the errand.
Five minutes later, Galbraith, from
staring gloomily at the mournful heap
of trouble Mrs. Goldsmith had left on
his hands, looked up to confront a
vision that made him gasp.
II wanted you to see if you liked
this" said Rose.
eff l like it !" he echoed. Look
here! If you knew enough to pick
out things like that, why did you let
that woman waste everybody'S time
with junk like this? Why didn't you
help her out?"
81 couldn't have done much" Rose
said, "even if my offering to do any
thing hadn't made her angry-and l
think it would have. You see, she's
got lots of taste, only it's bad. She
wasn't bewildered a bit. She knew
just what she wanted, and she got it..
It's the badness of these things she
likes. And I thought :" She
hesitated a little over this II
thought that it would be easier to
throw them all out and get a fresh
start
He stared at her with frown Of
curiosity. "That's good sense" he
said "But why should you bother to
think of it?"
Her color came up perceptibly as she
answered. "Why-I want the piece to
succeed, of course :" Rose turned
rather suddenly to the saleswoman. Il
wish you'd get that little Empire frock
in maize and cornf1ower," she said.
I'D like Mr.. Galbraith to- see that,
too" And the saleswoman, now pla-
Gated, hustled away.
''This thing that I've got on" said
Rose swiftly, "costs a hundred and
fifty dollars, but know I can copy it
for twenty. 1 can't get the materials
exactly. of course, but 1 can come
near enough"
"Will you try this one on, miss?"
asked the saleswoman, coming on the
scene again with the frock she had
been sent for.
"No," said Rose. "Just hold it up"
Galbrajth admitted if was heautifuI
but wasn't overwhelmed at all as he
had been by the other.
Its not quite so much your style,
is it? Not drive enough?"
SIT isn't for me-" said Rose. Its
for Edna Larson to wear in that All
Alone number for the sextette.'
Galbraith stared at her a moment.
Then, Put on your street things" he
said brusquely. 'I'll wait"

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Business Proposition.

BuZZing around in the back of John
Galbraith's mind was an unworded
protest against the way Rose had just
killed her own beauty, with a thick
white veil, so nearly opaque that all it
| let him see of her face was an inter-
mittent CLEAN of her eyes. The busi-
ness between them was over, and
all she was waiting for was a word
of dismissal, to nod him u fare
well and go swinging away down the
avenue. Still he didn't speak, and she
moved little restlessly. At last:
"Do you mind crossing the street?'
ne asked abruptly. 'Then we can talk
as we walk along" She must have
hesitated, because he added, Its too
cold to stand here
"Of course" she said then. All that
had made her hesitate was her sur
prise over his having made a request
instead of giving an order.
DO you think you'll be able to con-
vince Mrs. Goldsmith she asked,
as they walked down the east side Of
the avenue together, that her gowns
don't look we'll on the stage?"
probably not" he said. ''No. she
won't be convinced, and if I know
Goldsmith, he'll say his wife's taste is
good enough for him. So if we want q
change, we've fight on our hands,"
The way he had unconsciously
phrased that sentence startled him q
little.
"The question is" he went on,
whether they're worth making a fight
about. Are they as bad as | think
they are?"
"Oh, yes" said Rose. They're dow
dy and fOurth-class and ridiculous. Of
course I don't know how many people
in the audience would know that"
"And l don't care" said John Gal
braith, with Il flash of intensity that
made her look around at him. "That'S
not q consideration I'll give any weight
to. When I put a production under my
name, it's the best | can make with
what I've got. When | have to take
cynical view and try to get by with

To Make Book Plates.

One way to make effective book
plates is to have a stencil, through
which you can work up the slips in
water-colors. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but if
you are going to make very many,
it might be well to have metal stem
Gil cut, as the paper or cardboard will
soon wear out. Look through the maya
zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace it to your stencil pa
per. Cut it up into little portions, as
you would a jigsaw puzzle. so that all
the design is in parts, all joined by
small bridges" to each other. Cut
out the design, leaving the bridges
firm, with a sharp knife, holding the
stencil over glass or marble as you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard
or water-color paper. A dozen or so Of
these book plates at time will not be a
strenuous task and the result will
easily repay labor.

Conservation of Labor Supply.

If we are wise and far-sighted we
shall enforce child labor laws and
school laws more rigidly than ever
just now. We shall scrutinize and
regulate every single use Of children
in industry, for there must be moth
ing needless in the emergency about
our use of human resources. Moro
than that, we shall stimulate educa-
tional activity, especially in industrial
training, and support as never before
public and private child welfare agen-
cies, if we are going to make the
most of the material we have in hand.
In short, we must protect, train and
develop children now for the simple
reason that for the future, both re-
mote and immediate, we need more
intelligent and able-bodied set of peo-
pie than ever. 1.-THE nation is under
special obligation to secure that the
rising generation grows up strong and
hardy both in body and character" is

has been at war for three years, to

Rose couldn't draw bit She
hadn't the fafntest impulse to make a
beginning by putting a picture down
on paper and making a dress from it
afterward. She couldn't have told just
why she had bought those three shades
Of paper cambria.
What she had felt, of course, at the
very outset, was the need of something
to indicate, roughly, the darks and
lights in her design. And, short of the
wild extravaganza of slashing into the
fabrics themselves and making her
mistakes at their expense, she could
think of nothing better than the
scheme she chose.
Rehearsal was dismissed a little
early that night and she was back in
her room by eleven. Arrived there,
she took off her outer clothes, sat
down cross-legged on the floor, and

his silence. 81 shall tell Goldsmith and
Block (Block was the junior partner
in the enterprise) that I've got hold
of a costumer who agrees to deliver
twelve costumes satisfactory to me, at
an average of, say, twenty per cent
less than the ones Mrs. Goldsmith
picked out. If they aren't satisfactory,
it's the costumer's loss and we can
buy those that Mrs. Goldsmith picked
out, or others that will do as well, at
Lessing's. I think that saving will be
decisive with them"
But do you know a costumer?"
Rose asked.
You're the cOstumer," said Gal
braith. "You design the costumes, buy
the fabrics, superintend the making of
them. AS for the woman you speak
of, We'll get the wardrobe mistress
at the Globe. I happen to know she's
competent, and she's at a loose end
just now, because her show is closing
when ours opens. You'll buy the fab
RIGS and you'll pay her. And what profit
you can make out of the deal, you're

said, and she found difficulty in speak
