Perfect Thirty SKIES THERE
Miss Ethel Carey In Charge OF Sewing
Glasses Shows Pride in Splendid
Work Done by KenosEa Young Wo-
men Who Fashion Gowns, Etc.

The sewing class Of Kenosha High
School gave their initial exhibition
Monday morning, when live models
turned this way and that to show the
rest of K. Ell. S., faculty and all the
results Of their untiring efforts. Cling
hams and voiles, and linens, made in
the newest spring and advanced sum-
mer styles met the eyes of an envious
crowd of girls who will no doubt join
the sewing classes next semester
The exhibition has been the first
of its kind in the history of <. FL. S.
Tables were loaded with underneath
fneries, and separate top skirts and
dresses, lacking models, hung on the
walls inviting admiration. And the
live models, we'll, they wore the gar
ments they made them selves and
1ustered around, proud possessors of
the results of their first attempts at
dressmaking.
Most Of the members of the sewing
class were beginners who have had
no sewing at all or perhaps a bit Of
it in the grades. But by the looks of
the garments they might have been
dressmakers all their young lives and
then some.
Miss Ethel Carey, Domestic Science
instructor at the High School was as
proud of her classes exhibition as was
ale
due her for the novel way in which
she has stimulated the students in
terests in the domestic arts. Here
tofore, student in the beginning
sewing class made aprons, dust caps,
MILDLY blouses and such articles which
naturally would hardly appea, to a
young girl of this day. Miss Carey
has changed the old order with the
times and as a result the classes form
Eerly small, are over crowded.
This month the sewing classes are
going to make the s'Girl Scouts uni
form consisting Of Norfolk Jackets,
military pocketed blouses and shirred
skirts in the regular army khaki. I'm
der the able direction of Miss Carey
they will no doubt finish them before
the close Of school, that they may
use them in their summer work.
Miss Hood, supervisor of Home
Economics in the public schools also
deserves credit for the work the class
has accomplished.

WooDWoRTH ORGANIZES
Eighty People Attend Very Interesting
Meeting for Organization at
Offices of Serum Plant.

The village of Woodwork went over
the top for the Red Cross on Tuesday
evening when splendid organization
meeting was held at the offices of the
serum plant, with more than eighty of
the most prominent men and women of
that section of the county in attendance.
The new unit at Woodwork is to be
branch of the Bristol organization
and Mrs. F. E. Stevens, vice chairman
of the Bristol organization, called the
meeting to order and introduced E.
7. 0'Brien of Kenosha, who acted as
permanent chairman.
There were interesting talks by
Richard f. Kaiser, who spoke of the
work of the Red Cross, the Patriots
Fund and the Boy Scouts and this last
topic was discussed more at length by

Scouts organization and one of IT'S
most enthusiastic workers. DR.. Helen

Ten Thousand Dollars In
vested in Liberty Bonds
as NestOr for West Side
Library Fund.
Be BUILT WHEN WAR ENDS

The Board Of Directors of the Gil
bert M. Simmons Library took the
first steps on Tuesday evening, for
the erection of branch library for
the West side Of the city when by
the unanimous vote of the members
Of the board fund of ten thousand
dollars was invested in bonds of the
third liberty loan. This money is set
aside as the first of the sinking fund
for the building of the branch library
building. It is expected that similar
sums will be set aside from appropria-
lions made to the library In 1913 and
1919 and that the new branch will be
built in the fall of 1919 or in the sum-
mer Of 1920
The new branch library is to be
located on Elizabeth street at the cor
ner Of Edward street and the esti-
mated cost Of it is thirty five thousand
dollars. Tt is planned to make it a
handsome little building which will
be a credit to that portion of the city
and it will be fully equipped with mo-
dern library appliances. The plan to
make a sinking fund to provide for the
building was worked out some time
ago. 1t is believed that this plan
will make it possible to secure the
money for the new library without
making any serious drain on the gem
eral funds of the city. The placing
of the ten thousand dollars in the sink
ing fund will make the amount re-
turned to the city little smaller than
in other years but with economical
management the members of the board
of directors hope that this will not
be serious shortage.
There is no idea of building the
west side branch until after the war
is over and the earnings of the money
which is being invested in govern
ment bonds will be placed to the Gre
dit of the fund for construction and
equipment. The plans for the new
building have not as yet been secured
but several preliminary sketches have
been presented to the board. No ac-
ton will be taken on the plans until
the board has raised the full sum
necessary for the completion and
equipment of the new building.
The great interest shown by the
people of that portion of the city in
the branch library established in tenn
porary quarters some years ago has
shown clearly the demand for the
branch library in that portion of the
city.

EXPRESSIONS ON EDUCATION.
No. IS.
BENJAMIN HARVEY HILL.

(1823-1882. Lawyer and Statesman)
Education is the one subject for
which no people ever paid too much.
Indeed, the more they pay, the richer
they become. Nothing is so costly as
ignorance, and nothing so cheap as
knowledge. Even under old civiliza-
tions the States and people who pro
vided the greatest educational dis
semination and advantages were al
ways the most wealthy, the most power
full, the most feared and respected by
others, and the most secure in every
right of person and property among
themselves. And this truth will be
tenfold more manifest in the future
than it has been in the past. The
very right arm Of all future national
power will rest in the education of
the people.

rs FURTHER ENDORSED.

The following quotations from a let
ter received from Chas F. Borkenhagen,
now employed at the Nash Motors Com
pany, will be of interest to subscribers
to the Patriots Fund. We quote
in part as follows:
"I am anxious to do my part to help
this plan along as / can probably ap-
preciate little better than others the
great amount of benefit our men in the
service receive from work of this kind,
and you may rest assused that you will
have my full cooperation to help the
good work along.'
Tt is a significant fact that those who
have seen service, are the most enthusi-
astic supporters Of the Patriots Fund.

York, indicates that they have had a
campaign patterned after the Kenosha
idea, with an ultimate goal of $50, 900,
and after the campaign, their total ran

ceived from Marquette, Michigan, tells
that they expected to raise $175,0o0,
