M. J. GILLEN SUGGESTS
NONPARTISAN MEETING

Martin J. Gillen, Racine, believes the
loyalty candidate for United States
senator should be nominated at a
non-partisan convention, and that no
time should be lost in perfecting coun-
ty organizations throughout the state
to elect this candidate. Chief Justice
John B. Winslow has been suggested
as chairman Of the meeting.
Mr. Gillen believes delegates to this
conference should be apportioned
among the counties on the second
Liberty loan or population basis. He
would have the Wisconsin Loyalty
legion send a call to the chairman of
each Liberty loan committee for a
meeting of the actual committee work
ers who have sold Liberty bonds or
worked in the Red Cross, Y M C. A.,
or K. Of G. campaigns, and the mem
bers of the local defense councils. This
county convention to select a proper
proportion Of the loyalist delegates
from among representatives of labor,
farm, middle and investment classes.
He suggests that the Loyalty legion
include in it's call a brief of the pro-
posed changes in the election laws
and other matters it is intended to
submit to the state convention so the
delegates would have time to think
matters over before they arrive in

Y. ". c. A. CAMPAIGN
IS NOW UNDER WAY

Help the Y w. G. A. to do for the
young women who visit camps or who
are now working by the hundreds in
munitiOn plants and other industries
carrying out war contracts, what the
Y. M. G. A. is doing for our soldiers.
Hostess houses in charge of refined
christian women are being established
at each cantonment as fast as funds
are provided. Here mothers, sisters.
daughters, wives and sweethearts are
cared for, lodged and fed in proper
and comfortable surroundings. Under
present conditions, a mother takes
great risk in allowing her daughter to
visit camp or to work in these fac
tories.
The housing facilities for the girls
who are now crowding into industrial
centers are entirely inadequate. In
many cases they are sleeping three In
bed in small rooms.
Will YOU help make these condi-
lions better by subscribing to the Y.
w. c. A. fund. This ought to be
forceful appeal to all men and wom-
en- who have the privilege to remain
in the safety and comfort of their
own homes, to help those who are
temporarily without homes, comfort
or safety. Do your part now.

pervisor of music. Mr. Dostal is to

What Memory Is

The popular notion that memory Is
IAN association of ideas" is true.
Memory, plainly, is not only made up
OF an association of ideas but also of
associated impressions living things
receive. Such associations may be
due to real and necessary connections
such as 'fron bar" or to your mental
coupling up of such associations as
blue funk" "sweet melody" pretty
girl" Habitual linkage makes the Inn
preston firmer, the retention in mind
more durable and more simple han.
Gle whereby the matter can be recalled
at will.
