SCYDER BASEBALL AT COTTAGE HILL WINS TWO GAMES
ROUGH STUFF
FOR TANKERS
West End, in Brilliant Game,
Tpeats Them to a so Defeat
on the Home Grounds

Next to the big league games at
steelton, the brightest pastime yes
terday was the corking battle at
Fourth and Seneca streets between
the famous West End lads and the
Treat En- Rough Tankers," of Get
tysburg, which wound up, SO in ia
vor of the Killingers and Pitcher
Waltz. On this Saturday, West End
plays at Hershey and on Saturday
July 13, she hooks up with the RuX-
ton A. c. for the championship.
Team work and ginger gave the
West End chaps an advantage over
the genial Army tankers who could
not combat the shrewd pitching of
Waltz and the aggressive work of the
Killinger demons and other hard
hitting West Enders. Waltz himself
took a hand at the bat, tearing off
a furious circuit clout which scored
two runs in addition to his own. This
happened in the fourth and sort of
crumpled the gallant tankers. The
play all through was very fast and
spectacular.

Finds Bars Attract
Married Men Most

Springfield, Mass.-Saloons do not
attract young men between seven
teen and twenty-four years of age as
they do older men, nor are single
men so numerous as married men at
the bar, according to a report sub
mitted by G. c. Robinson, of New
York, to the conference of the Asso-
citation of Employed Officers of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
In session here. He said:
This is partially attributed to the
higher idealism of the young men
and also to the fact that unmarried
men spend a good deal of time in
the company of their sweethearts.
The saloon seems to be most popu-
lar in the years between thirty-five
and forty-five. the dull. drab years
of middle-age."

Benny Leonard, met the lightweight

Report of Contagious Diseases in the
City Show Victory for the
Health Department.

That the Health Department is MAX
ing winning fight against contagious
diseases in Kenosha was indicated by
the report of the department to the
Common Council on Monday evening.
This report showed marked redue-
ton in the number of guarantees now
being maintained in the city. There
are at the present time but two cases
of diphtheria under quarantine while
two weeks ago there was more than
twenty. But two cases of measles are
reported and the same number of
whooping cough. Scarlet fever is still
something Of a menace as the report
of the department shows twenty-one
cases of this disease under quarantine
at this time. There are eight cases
of chicke-L-pox.

Red Cross Fire
Greek in Name Only.

The Alpha Omieron Club is Greek in
name but intensely American in spirit.
Some twenty strong, its members gath
cred at the surgical dressings room in
the local Red Cross headquarters on
Monday evening and cut, ironed and
rolled bandages for men who will be
wounded in fighting the battles of
Truth and Democracy. Under the di-
reetion of Mrs. Arthur Fisher the work
progressed famously. Bolts of gauze
were miraculously transformed into
rolls Of dressings all perfectly wrapped
and stamped with the Red Cross seal
of efficiency and sanitation. It is rll-
mored that the Sanmiettes will follow
the example of the Alpha Omicron
Club and become-after fashion at
least-long distance nurses in the
service of Uncle Sam and the Stars
and Stripes.

Praise from Pershing.

Praise such as General John J.
Pershing recently gave the American
Red Cross seldom is received by any
Organization and not only Red Gross
officials, but its twenty odd million
members and other millions Of we'll
wishers appreciate his words highly.
81 want to say to you,' General
Pershing said to Idah McMeGlone Glib
son, "that no other organization since
the world began has ever done such
great constructive work with the eff
ficieney, dispatch, understanding, oft
en- under adverse circumstances, that
has been done in France by the Amer
lean Red Cross in the last six months. -
That appears to be about the limit
in commentator. It was followed by
more remarks equally complimentary
to the Red Cross for its work in re-
facilitating the devastated homes of
France and thereby improving the NOR
ale of the French army.
This work of restoring the homes
wrecked by the Germans so that the
French soldier at the end of the war
would find reunited family and q
foundation for a new life, was said by
General Pershing to have helped the
American army fight the kaiser before
machine guns began to fire and shells
to burst.
Mrs Gibson reached the conclusion
from her personal investigation of
Red Cross work in France that the
American people could not give too
much for the extension of the work.
"You may well carry back such a
report to the American people, Gen
eral Pershing agreed. :

"rHE MAKING OF AMERICANS. >

Interesting Topic In Her Lecture

the address to be delivered by Mrs.
Lois K. Mathews before the joint meet
ing of the Kenosha Parent-T Teacher As
sociations, which will be held at the

former years for the annual meeting of
the several associations.
Mrs. Mathews is the dean of women
at the University Of Wisconsin, where
she is well-known for her ability as a
speaker. She has been especially prom
inent in wartime movements at Madi-

Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota.
Mrs. Mathews theme for Thursday
evening will be "The Making of Amer
leans. !" In this lecture she discusses
the present war with relation to the
various nationalities concerned and en-
phasizes especially the value Of ma
tional unity in insuring victory for
America and her Allies.
The prominence and ability of Mrs.

she will speak before an influential
club in Chicago on February 9Th fol-
lowing her address in Kenosha on

Keeping Cake Moist.

What little cake we allow our house
hold in these days has not much OPP
pOrtunity to get dry, but If you fear
it may try the effect of keeping an ap-
pie in the cake tin. The apple shrivels
and dries, but some housekeepers say
that it keeps the cake moist. Another
moistener is a clean cloth wrung out
of water and stretched tight over the
top Of the cake-tin before the lid is
shut down. This may be left 48 hours.
Then it must be removed or the cake
viii mold. If the box is opened dur-
ing that time the cloth must be damp
ened again.

TO the Families Of the sa,nmies.


The following notice recently issued
by the National Red Cross association
is Of great Importance to all families
of enlisted men:
"Men who entered the service be-
fore Oct. IS, 1917, must apply for War
Risk insurance before Feb. IL, 1918.
Those who enlisted later, have 120
days in which to apply. The Red Gross
is authorized by the War Risk bureau
and is urged by the Red Cross nation
al headquarters to try to get as many
men as possible to sign up for ins4lr-
ance before Feb. Il.
cit is imperative that each family
write at once to the enlisted man adj
wishing him to sign the application in
the presence of his commanding Off
GER, and to give the signed application
to his commanding officer before Feb.
II, 1913. If he does not do this, he
loses his chance for insurance. -
Application blanks for Soldiers and
Sailors insurance may be secured at
the Red Cross headquarters above the
Palica Cigar store at the corner of
Main and Wisconsin streets.
The insurance offered by the govern
ment under the recent act of Congress
is only another remuneration for the
services of the men who are sacrifice
ing their time, their energy, and posi-
bly, their lives to uphold democracy
and truth. It IS merely part of their
pay for Soldering in the armies
of Uncle Sam and accordingly should
not be overlooked by the families Of
fighting men.
