tween nurses and enlisted men. This
Is occasionally carried to extremes, as
evidenced by the following incident. A
certain nurse was found ringing the
doorbell Of the officers quarters early
one morning. When asked what she
wanted, she replied that the villa in
which she and the other nurses were
quartered was on fire. After the FIRE
had been extinguished. she was asked
why she didn't give the alarm at once,
instead OF running the long distance to
the officers quarters. Her reply was;

Government to Pay Transportation Tx
penses of Student Nurses from Their
Homes to the Training Schools.

Miss Catherine Vomastek of Eliza
beth street, a teacher in the Columbus
school, and who was one of the pa
triotic Kenosha girls to volunteer in
the recent Nurses Recruiting Campaign
has received word from Washington,
and she is to report some time after
November fifteenth, the hospital not
being known at present.
In the letter it said
II am directed by the Acting Sur
geon General to inform you that ar
rangements have been made for the
transportation of accepted students
from their homes to the training school
units, and to their homes on the com
p1etion Of their service.
This will be very good news to many
of the girls, who have thought of tax
ing up student nursing, but have felt
handicapped, by the heavy expense it
would entail. Of course this Just
means that the government will defray
the expenses to and from the school
of nursing, but this is one of the big
gest features in the items Of expense,
and many girls who have heretofore
hesitated, can now do so, knowing that
this heavy expense IS done away with.

purpose of bringing up Kenosha's War

The fact that Kenosha pledged her
self last June to buy $S22, 600 War
Savings Stamps and so was able to
send out the report all over the world
that she had gone over the top again,
does not amount to row of pins so
long as these pledges have not been

these things. 1t takes the cold cash.
AS soon as you had pledged your
$822,000 on June %, the government
took you at your word and believed
that your promise was as good as your

the Quarantine That
Has Been Declared.

Executive Committee Will Hold Meet
ing Tonight to Discuss Matters
Relative to Evening Closing
During Holiday Season.

Kenosha Retailers Association finds
itself just now without officers for the
ensuing year on account Of the quar-
antine which has been placed upon the
the city by reason OF the Spanish in
fuenza epidemic.
The annual meeting of the Associa-
ton fell upon the day and night the
which the mass meetings ushering the
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive were held
and about the time when the state
board Of health placed the city I'M
der quarantine, so instead Of holding
its regular meeting and electing its
officers the Association adjourned until
a later date expecting that the quar-
antine would be lifted in time to elect
it's officers before the expiration Of the
year.
Now the Kenosha Retailers Asso-
citation 3 year begins November 1, and
it is without officers for next year.
To discuss the necessary steps to be
taken to provide officers for the com
ing year the Executive Committee of
the Association viii meet in the rooms
Of the Chamber Of Commerce this eve
ming at 1880 o'clock.
At this meeting of the Executive
Committee delegates to the conven-
ton Of the League to Enforce Peace
win be appointed. The convention
which will be held under the, auspices
Of the University of Wisconsin will
be / held at Madison November S--1O
and the Kenosha Retailers Association

who will be selected by the Execu-
tive Committee tonight.
Another matter that will be dis.
cussed by the Executive committee is
the question Of closing the stores in
the evenings during the Christmas
shopping period. Or in other words
whether the merchants will live up to
the spirit of the agreement between
the Council for National Defense and
the various merchants national organi-
zations Of the country with which the

filiated. That agreement provides that
the merchants viii not open their

have responded beautifully.
The Simmons Library is closed to the
public at the present time, but willing
people are able to find some way to
get the books into the Library, and

but will not be sent until some time
after the ban is lifted, and in the mean
time those who have not already given
books, are asked to inspect their
library shelves again, and send some Of
those books to the boys.
AS has been said before books. on
Travel, History, Biography, Science,
Mathematics, Astronomy, are particul-
arly useful, and in greater demand at
the present time, but the books of
fiction have always been great factor
with the boys, and they are in as much
demand as ever. The heavier fiction
stories are the best for them, and thew
really appreciate it more, some of the
lighter fiction books are so shallow,
that you can tell at a glance, just
what the book contains. The works
of Kathleen Norris, are standard,
American Novels, that deal with true
American life, especiallyis "The Story

Works of Kipling s are in great de-
mand.
The American Library Association g
branch office in Brooklyn received a
strange order from the Montauk, L. I.

al officers there wanted Kipling s
poems especially his poems Of the sea.

IN his Ford truck the American Libr-
airy Association Is representative de-
livered the books, as per request, at
Mantaulx, and wanted to know what
in the world naval officers studying
differentiation could find of value to
them in the poetry of Kipling.
All sea-going men, replied the nav
al officer, can learn lots Of valuable
things from Kipling's poems. The
sea-poems are textbook. A sailor,

plain things that no landlubber could

Kipling added the officer, is the only
poet in existence who understands the
