Pretty Little Playlets Presented In
Lincoln and Columbus Schools
Next Friday Teach Health.

An interesting kind of propaganda is

which will make for better health and
better housing in Kenosha.
On Friday afternoon in both the Co.
lumbus and Lincoln schools pretty lit
tie heart interest stories will be pro-
duced in dramatic form by the children

well from becoming i'll.
Aerial and Judith is the name of
the play which the Lincoln school chill
dren are preparing and with it there
are to be catchy little E'healtho reci-
tations and readings, and a speaker

coTTLE LOSES HIS CASE.
Eighty Year-Old Plaintiff Given 1915
And With It Verdict of Con-
tributory Negligence.

Francis M. Cottle, the eighty-yearold
man who sued the city, DR.. G. A. Ger
mano and others for damages for per-
sonal injuries suffered when be fell
into the stairway on West Market
street, lost his case. Late Saturday
afternoon the jury in the Circuit court
brought in verdict fixing the amount
of his damages at 1915 but in the
same verdict the jury found that the
PLAINTIFF as we'll as the defendants had
been negligent. Under the verdict it
is not expected that Cottle will seek
to recover. His attorneys may seek
an appeal to the Supreme court and it
is expected that motions for new trial
will be filed at once. They hold that
the verdict of the jury was perverse
and that the amount given as damages
was entirely inadequate.

WOMAN ESCAPES UNHUR7
East Bound Street Car Gets In Front of
Switch Engine and Engine Gets Best
of the Argument Officers Claim
That Gates Were Lifted.

One of the steel cars of the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company, was pretty
badly wrecked just after nine o. clock
Monday night in a collision with q
switch engine on the tracks of the
North-W Western Railway Company at
the Market street crossing. There was
but one passenger aboard the car when
the collision took place and she fed
from the car and escaped injury and
managed to get away before the motor
man, August Zimmerman, was able
to get her name. Zimmerman was
the only other person on the car and
he escaped without injury.
The car was coming east on Market
street and when it approached the
crossing the gates were down and the
switch engine was working north. 1t
cleared the crossing and the man in
the tower raised the gates and the
fagman of the street car gave the
"come ahead' signal and Zimmerman
ran his car onto the tracks. A second
later the switch engine backed up and
struck the car in the very center,
throwing it off the track. The stove
was overturned, but the car did not
catch fire. The windows in the car
were smashed and portion of the
steel frame work of the car was bent
so badly that it will have to go to
the repair shop for rebuilding.
The officials of the street railway
company declare that the accident was
one which it would have been impos-
sible for the motorman to have avoided.
They claim that he had been given the
right of way by the towerman and
that he had followed the call of
the signal man who had gore onto the
tracks ahead of the car.
It is probable that the street railway
company will have heavy claim for
damages as a result of the collision.
This afternoon it was learned that
the lone passenger in the car was Mrs.
Edward Glerum, Ala Pomeroy street.
Mrs. Glerum was at her home today
suffering from several severe bruises.
When the lights in the car went out she
jumped over the overturned stove and
managed to get out of the car. She
hurried away and walked to her home
and did not notify the company of
her injuries Until late this morning.
It was declared that her injuries were
not of a serious nature.

"PEG o. MY HEART"
Hartley Manners Comedy of Youth is
a Lasting Success.


"Peg o. My Heart,'' with Marion
Dentler, the Morosco star, in the title
role, which comes to the Rhode on
next Tuesday night, May 9Th, is a good
play for the aspiring young playwright
to see, because it will knock all of his
preconceived ideas on the technique of
the drama into cooked hat. In fact,
when Hartley Manners wrote the play,
he must have said to himself with a
grin: ''In the bright lexicon of plays,
there no such thing as technique. :"
Then he proceeded to prove it by
writing "Peg O. My Heart play
that is crammed with human interest
tears and laughs, but has not bit of
technique. And after all, what does
the public know about technique? The
young girl signs ecstatically over Pegs
Irish accent, smiles through her tears
and whispers to her young man, "Isn t
she adorable?" And the young man
whispers back, "Some girl Some
girl!" Thus are all the technical pre-
cedents so carefully enunciated by
Professor Baker of Hazard and other
instructors on the drama dissipated
into signs of enjoyment. advdw

LITTLE FOR KENosHA.
State Highway Plan Holds That This
County Must be Satisfied With
the Sheridan Road


The plan for the new state system
OF highways has been issued up in
Madison. It is not particularly inter
esting to Kenosha as it provides for the
development of just one highway into
this city. This is the north and south
road leading through the county to the
Illinois state line. 1t is supposed that
this will follow the Sheridan Road
Kenosha has not been given a great
deal of attention in the laying out of
the state system. On the other hand
many of the cities in northern and cen
trail portions of the state seem to have
secured the lion g share. Racine county
is to have three state lines, one lead
ing to the north, one to the south to
Kenosha, and one to the west which
will connect Racine with Wheatland
and other western points in Racine and
Kenosha counties A more detailed
statement of just what is planned by
the state will be given out later, but
it is pretty certain that in this detailed
statement there will be no greater con
sideration for this county than in the
preliminary announcement.

ished speaker, has been secured, a man
well versed in the Red Cross situation
who is to llake the principal address.
Five-minute talks will be given by DR..
Helen Harbert, Richard F. Kaiser and
DR.. G. F. Adams, touching especially
on the local situation.
Mrs. E. G. Theirs, chairman Of the

her. intention of starting a campaign
for at least 500 members. She wants
every loyal woman in Kenosha to take
membership and do her "bit' to
prove her patriotism. All are asked to
come prepared tonight to give their
names to the secretary of the organi-
cation.
Mrs. Theirs has been fortunate in
getting some of the strongest and most
influential citizens Of the community to
join her committees and give their ser
vices in behalf of Red Cross work. At
the meeting tonight she will announce
the following committees, all of whom
have duties to begin Immediately:
Executive committee Miss Julia AL

training adds materially to the eficien-
cy and the alertness of the boys who
are fortunate enough to receive it.

STAY-AT- HOMES TOSACUIFICE
DR.. Helen Harbert and Richard Kaiser
Will Also Speak Mrs. E. S. Theirs,
Rcd Cross Head, Will Announce
Her Committees.

In order to devise means by which
tFcee of the Kerosha county physicians
who arc denied the privilege of serving
heir flag in the present war, may have
opportunity to do tt cir bit, the Ke-
rosha County Medical association will
hold a special meeting following noon
luncheon in the Hotel haywood tomor-
rev.
The association intends to work out
? plan by which every member of the
as1o -iation will pledge himself to pre-
serve intact so far as possible the prac-
tice of those doctors who go to the
front and to aid in turning it over to
him when re returns. The Hlan of the
local medical men will probably be
based upon the Marylan plan which
insures to every physician who goes
TO the front that any of his patients
who employ the services of doctors left
at home will pay proportion of their
fees to the family of the absent man,
an d that those pqtients will be returned
to him upon hi7 resuming his practice.
Members Of the Kenosha county as
ISOLATION at its last meeting, proposed
ar even more generous offer than that
in the Maryland plan. 1t was that as
a rhvsiciar necessarily loses a per-
centage Of n patients each year
WI ich he would add to his clientele if
; Q were at home "a stated sum annually
or ir lump be placed by the associa
ticn to each enlisted member.
AS Kenosha has large proportion
Of Young physicians who are physi-
callv fitted 70 service and for conscrip-
tion it is probable that it will send q
roodlv number to the front. Some have
s.enified their intention of joining the
II odical CORDS of either arm or navy
: n DR.. W. J. Hanley has enlisted
through the surgeon general of this
state. Dr. Siemens of Milwaukee.
''This is our country and this is our
vsr," the letter of announcement
reads, which Or, j. r. Hastings, secre-
tary Of the Medical association, has
sent out to the members In England
practically every physician has been
taken charge of by the war department.
Den t you thinl YOU would be willing

d.scuss our future prospects,

in Kenosha and the attitude of the
Medical society toward it will also be
discussed at this meeting"

Men Who Ride the ssPuh-P Pub Wheels
in. Kenosha Called to Do Service

Kenosha motorcycle riders have been
called to the colOrs. Letters have been
received in the city from D. G. Per
kins, director Of the mobilization of
the Motorcycle Minute Men of
America" calling upon the men in
Kenosha who ride motorcycles, to en-
list for service in the American army
Efforts are to be made to form de-
tachment among the motorcycle men Of
Kenosha to be added to similar
attachments formed in other parts
Of the state. In discussing the
plan, Mr. Perkins says
81 have been advised by different
army officers that it is much easier to
make a soldier from motorcycle rider
than to make motorcycle rider from
a soldier; therefore, if it is possible
to organize company Of motorcycle
riders in your town and drill them. i
know that you will readily see Of what
value these riders will be to the gov
eminent when they are called, because
such company will become efficient in
the regular infantry drills and will be
good nucleus for the regular army
to work with when they start recruit
ing to raise the two million men which
is the number they need.
