SHOES SHOW PATRIOTISM.
National Need for Leather Provides a
New Method of Judging the 10y
atty of Kenosha Citizens.

Hereafter the patriotism of Kenosha
women will be measured by the height
of their heels. High heels must 60
high shoes also.
They are going by government edict
in France. They will 60 by government
request in the United States They
have gone in England by common con-
sent.
Thus will women be brought down
to man s level in the war to make the
world safe for democracy. BY demand
ing low shoes with low heels from their
dealers, they viii get them. Maryland
women do.
And the idea of it all is to save
leather for the lads who are larruping
the Hun.
There will be less leather in shoes
generally, too. That goes for England,
France, 2taly, Russia, and the United
States. With this formidable arrav
against them it is assumed that high
heels and high shoes will retire in good
order and leave more boots and puttees
for the soldiers at the front.

ELKs HAVE SERVICE FLAG.
Handsome Banner with Twenty Four
Stars is Hung in the Club Rooms
of Local Lodge.

One of the handsomest service flags
to be found any where in Kenosha has
been hung in the club rooms of the
Kenosha Lodge of Elks. It contains
twenty four stars representing mem
bers of the order and sons of members
who are now serving with the United
States Army either at home or abroad.
-Four stars represent men who are either
IN France or On their way to the big
front. Every Elk in service is the per-
sonal care of the members of the or
der. Soldier Pals have been secured
fer every one of the boys and he is
receiving his regular from home through
the Elks. Every Elk in the army is re-
lieved from the payment of dues and is
kept in good standing by his brothers
back home. In addition to this the
Kenosha Elks Lodge is doing its full
part to provide for the big war aeti-
vities of the order in addition to the
fact that every member of the order
has signed his card and is making his
regular payments to the patriots fund.

"Guns-Guns-Guns" so the American
Red Cross officials now call "Helmets
Helmets-Helmets'' NorthcIiffe had
studied the situation and knew exactly
what was needed to bring victory to
the cause Of Liberty and Truth. The
Red Cross Association has done the
same thing and consequently speaks
with the same unquestioned authority.
The local work-rooms are attempt
ing to meet that demand and will do
their part if the women of Kenosha
will only respond. In order that new
knitters may receive proper instruc-
tions in making helmets the committee
is keeping one inspectress and two in
structors at headquarters every day in
the week. From them even the Crank
est amateur" in knitting can learn to
make near-perfect helmets, socks, and
sweaters, the knitted articles especially
needed at the present time.
The members of this committee, all
of whom have had special instruction in
knitting, include Mrs. Alfred Terrell,
chairman, Mrs. James Cavanagh, Mrs
A. w. Griffin, Mrs. Frank Holt, Mrs

"TWo BITS A DAY CLUB"
Kenoshans Form an Association to Help
Themselves and Uncle Sam by
Purchasing Thrift Stamps.

edo not forget that in buying a

That is the way it read in the Even

ter: 1.-TWO Bits A Day Clubs, form
ed with the express purpose of "obey-

The new association has only one
qualification for membership namely
that the candidate promise to buy
one thrift stamp a day-price: "two
bits, 25 cents, a "quawtah of a dol

ness to tsave money for himself and
lives for Uncle Sam.
Official headquarters will be estab-
lished in the near future.

warm, well lighted and clean. Here 30
women are repairing canvass puttees.
Those which are beyond repair are strip
ped of their brass buckles and eyelets
which go into a melting pot. The
Wornout canvas is bundled into bales
and sold to paper manufacturers. New
wire is not used to bale with, the wire
that is used is cut from the bales of
hay, which comes into this camp in
carload lots. The wire is cut in GER
tain way, it is then unwound and IS as
good as new for our use.
Immense tents, filled with the cast
off clothing, waiting to be baled, could
give lesson of method and system to
many housekeeper. Stacks of army
hats, stripped of their sweat bands and
black ribbons and service cords are
ready for shipment to q hat factory
where the felt will be scraped and
worked over into new hats. The rib
bons viii be baled with other scraps
Of material and sent to the paper fac
tories; the hat cords are cleaned and
re-dyed.
sThe cast off boot is an interesting
thing. The tops which are never
seriously damaged are shipped off and
used for patching. The brass eyelets
are taken out and put into the melting
pots. The soles, heels and vamps are
baled and sent to the factory where
they are ground into leather pulp and
used for filing heels instead of sol
i'd leather.
"The paper, every tiny scrap of it
is gathered and placed in storehouse
where it is baled also and sold. The
craft paper sells for twice as much as
ordinary paper according to Captain
Levy and as it is absolutely clean it
brings the highest market. price.
"There is a great big heap of tin
cans shining in the sun, and before
Captain Levy took charge they burned
them and now they save the sum of
one Captain s month 3 salary in one day
by selling them in carload lots at 81 a
ton.
"Sacks in which sugar and other pro.
visions are bought are also saved, every
one of them. In fact not one thing is
wasted. A scrap of cotton goods as
small as your hand is as carefully con
served as if it were cot cover. By
the way when cot cover gives way, it
is made into barracks bag. So you
see there is not scrap of anything
wasted in the army. I'll best some wo-
men wish they could be as efficient as

The Federal Method and Why
Amend
men Granting Votes for

same amendment only once II four
years. What chance have women in
those states for the ballot through state
actions
A federal amendment giving women
the vote is not unfair to the states un-
less the whole constitution of the
United States is unfair to the states.
Why do Women Urge the Passage of the
Federal Amendment Now?
They have been urging it for fifty
years. With each year the changes in
society make the need of women S voice
more apparent. This wa emphasizes
that need as never before. The govern
ment very properly lays the burdens
of war equally upon the shoulders of
all citizens, men and women. Women
respond as men respond, promptly, loyal
" efficiently. Is it not reasonable and
right, as Lincoln said, that those who
assist in bearing the burdens of gov
eminent should share in the privileges
of government?
What Chance of Passage has the
Federal Amendment?
We think it has very good chance.
The people are thinking about demos-
racy as never before, and while fight
ing for democracy abroad grow more
favorable to democracy at home. Wo-
men in Canada, Russia and Denmark, are
lately enfranchised and women of Great
Britain are on the point Of enfranchise-
ment. In the United States during 1917
women of Arkansas, North Dakota,
Michigan, Vermont and Rhode Island
secured important partial franchise and
women of New York, with its 100000
population, won the greatest suffrage
victory the world has even known in
the election last November. 1t is evil
dent that public opinion on votes for
women is changing very rapidly. We
have definite knowledge that many
members OF Congress have changed
their opinions since the vote was taken
in 1915.
Is the Federal Amendment Enfranchis-
ing Women Important to Political
Parties?
It is very important. There were
more than 100000 zomen eligible to
vote at the last general election,
Twelve states, including the greatest
state in the Union, and Alaska now have
full women suffrage. Six states have
partial suffrage of kind which counts
largely in political contests. Can any
political party afford to ignore a power
like this9

of Miss Casey. Her example will be
followed on Thursday evening by Miss
f. ances O'Connor, on Friday evening
by Miss Florence Arneson, and on Sat
urday evening by Miss Gertrude Senne

will feature the early wedding gaieties
and furni-h charming prelude for the
wedding proper, which will be solemniz-
ed at st. James Church on Wednesday.

This is the amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, extend
ing the right of suffrage to women,
upon which the House of Representa-
tives is now scheduled to vote Jan
uary 10:
"Section l. The right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account of
sex.
Section 2. Congress shall have pow
er, by appropriate legislation, to en-
force the provisions of this article.''
Why do Women Want the Suffrage?
For the same reasons that men do.
They pay taxes to support the govern
ment as men do. Good government
profits them, bad government injuries
them, just as either effects men. Their
own special point of view, their own
special interests, are not adequately re-
presented except by their own voice.
The ballot will increase the intelligence
and public spirit of women, as it has in
creased the intelligence and public spirit
of men, and succeeding generations win
benefit.
why do Women Want to Secure the
Ballot Through Federal Amendment?
Because this is the most direct and
we believe the fairest way Of attain
ing what we ardently desire. Most
men, in this country and in foreign
lands, have secured their franchise by
legislative or congressional action. The
immigrants, the Indian, the colored
man, have not been forced to go to the
electorate for their own enfranchise-
ment. So far as I know, no class Of
men in Wisconsin has ever been obliged
to ask the electorate of Wisconsin to
give them the ballot. It is not fair
to force women to do so.
It is practically impossible for the
women Of some states OF the Union to
secure their enfranchisement through
state action, because amendment of the
state constitution - the only means of
getting them the VOTES so excessive
ly difficult. In Indiana constitutional
amendment requires majority vote of
two legislatures followed by a majority
of the voters of the state (not ma
jority of those voting). In New Hamp-
shire amendments must be proposed by
a constitutional convention held once
in seven years. In Illinois an amend
ment requires two-thirds vote of one
Legislature a majority Of the people
voting, only one amendment at a time,
