INDUSTRIAL INDEX
SENT TO WASHINGTON
Kenosha County is One of the First
Counties in the State to Complete
Important Draft Work.

Kenosha school teachers and this in
cludes the teachers of both the city
and county have contributed their
part to make this county hundred
percent efficient in handling the ques-
tionnaire as it's stated today that all
of the industrial index cards which
the war department asked from Keno
sha county are now fled with the war
department. in Washington. This work
was done almost entirely by the tea
cheers of the city and county schools
and it meant the writing Of thousands
Of cards showing just what men called
for service were best fitted to do. A
letter from the state officials declares
that Wisconsin was the first state in
the union to complete the index of
men called for military service and
Kenosha was one of the first counties
in the state to send a completed re-
port. In taking care of this great
work the school teachers and school
employees worked without compensa-
alton.

AIR PROGRAM IS SLOW
Senator New of Indiana Urges
Speed in Work.
Declares Only 81 of Intended 10000
AirpIanes Will Have Reached
France by July 1.

Washington, March Ex-senator
New, Republican, of Indiana, speak
ing in the senate, declared that in
stead of 10000 combat airplanes be-
ing delivered in France by July /, as
provided in the original airplane pro-
gram, the number will amount to
only 81.
L agree that this is not the time to
discourage the American people," said
Senator New, discussing the airplane
situation, "but this is no more the
time to mislead the American people,
in view of the great task that is ahead
of u.s."
Senator New called attention to
statement accredited to Secretary
Baker on February q, quoting him as
saying the first American airplanes
were being sent to Europe five months
ahead of schedule and praising the
progress being made on the Liberty
motor.
II submit that statement is wholly
misleading and perilously so," said he.
"The people are entitled to know the
truth. If we can't tell them the truth,
let's don't feed them on statements of
that kind if we are to win this war"
"Have we got one single airplane
in Europe today, or an engine that
can stand the test of a combat ma
chine?" interrupted Senator McCum-
Der.
''We have not a single combat plane
in France today unless some have
been landed within the last few days."
replied Senator New.
what was the aircraft program
for July / this year?" asked Senator
Johnson of California.
II think that, while / had not in
tended mentioning that, it is fair and
just to say that the program called
for 10000 combat planes by July l."
replied Senator New.
How many will there be delivered
on July II" the California senator
continued.
''Thirty-seven," said Senator New.
II say there is just one way to cor
rect this outrage on American youth,
and that is through 'pitiless public
ity'" warmly replied Senator john
son.
The galleries vigorously applauded
the remark, while the chair raped for
order.

WATCH YOUR STEP. =
Big Musical Show for Easter Monday
Night at the Rhode,

Night at the Rhode.
Melodious, glittering and amusing,
spreading mirth and laughter every
where, Watch Your Step, Irving Ber-
lin s international syncopated musical
success will come to the Rhode next
Monday, Easter Monday, night.
Comparatively few musical comedy
achievements of recent years have
reached the high plane in point of
sparkling dialogue, bubbly songs and
graceful and clever dancing as viii be
found in Watch Your Step"
Down to the smallest detail q well
as in the big things, the show and the
company reflect the intelligence and
care taken by the producer.
Along with everything else, the
scenic effects and costuming are of a
high order. It is seldom that one sees
such a refreshing succession of original
ideas in stage settings, the light and
color Of which harmonic SO we'll. In
"Watch Your Step stagecraft is one
of the chief factors in making the
very desirable first impression, which
is sustained throughout the action of
the production, by the skillfpl use of
the vision pleasers which too often
escape the observation of the specta-
Gle maker.
At no point in the play is the power
shut off. There are no halts, jolts or
grinds. The fabrication has been well
attended to, and when the curtain goes
down Oh climaxes it leaves the audi
ence in the mood to be anxious for the
play to go right along without any such
stop as to bring one back to the com
mon-place realities of life. advdw
