a recent letter to Mrs. James Ca
vanagh Of the knitting department.
My dear Mrs. Cavanagh:-
Your letter of Oct. 3rd has been re-
eeived and we thank you so much for
receiving our letters of comments in
just the spirit in which they are sent.
We try in every way to help chapters
make their garments standard and have
instituted this new system in the knit
ting room.
The criticism of your sweaters
meant that two sweaters were toe
long, these may have passed through
your inspection unintentionally and ]
enclose herewith the latest directions
for folding, tying and inspection knit
ted garments and if you follow these
instructions, am sure your future
work will pass our inspection without
any further criticisms.
Always glad to be of service to you,
{ remain,
Yours very sincerely,
Ginevra F. King
Superintendent, General Supplies and
Comforts.

Patriotic Women Awaken to
Call and Appear at
Hospitals to Help
Combat Disease.
PERMANENT COOK WANTED
Women With Spare Time Still Urged
to Get in Touch With Hospitals and
Aid With General Work and
Preparing of Delicacies.

The Kenosha Hospital is still calling
for help and the women of Kenosha
arc still urged to come forward and
offer themselves for the saving of lives
An appeal was made on this page
Saturday, and the response has been
wonderful, just like we expect from
Kenosha women. On Saturday many
women and young girls appeared at the
hospital and offered to do anything
that they could do, and were eagerly
accepted. Many were put to work
washing dishes, and doing the general
work of a maid, while others were
cooking dainty dishes for the sick
patients, and still others were helping
in the cleaning Of rooms.
On Sunday the response was just as
great, people who in the past, have
made Sunday day of pleasure or rest,
appeared and were again given duties
to do, and eagerly set to work.
Sorting and mending the linen is one
Of the most important duties. The linen
comes from the laundry torn and rag
ged, and the regular staff at the hospi-
tai has not the time to put on these
things Many Of the women Of the
city have taken these articles home, and
returned them to the hospital quite good
which is one great way to help.
People helping at the hospital do not
come in direct contact with the dis
ease, many people perhaps have hung
back on this account, but no fear need
be entertained.
The hospital is still in need Of per
manent cook, many generous women
having gone there for the past few
days, and have been preparing delica.
cies for the invalids. Especially are
these women needed e tween the hours
Of SSur ana seven. But if a perma-
nent cook could be found that would
answer this difficulty somewhat. Don Il
you know Of some one that would come
until this epidemic is past?
People are urged to keep on sending
custards, jellies, fruit juices, gelatine
buildings and grape juice. These things
are greatly needed, and time can hard,
ly be given to the preparation of these
foods in the hospital. Especially are
rich soup or broths acceptable; the
people have responded wonderfully in
the past few days, but the idea is not
to slack up on these. The people were
very generous with their helpins and
giving to the sick blue jackets down
at Camp Logan, and they are not going
to cease, now that the call in Kenosha
is growing just as loud.
The work of the Girl Scouts on Sat
urday and Sunday was wonderful
thing to see, The girls eager and will
ing, were a wonderful addition to the
staff of helpers, and it is expected that
many of these girls will return next
Saturday and go on with the work of
helping to combat this great disease.
The Kenosha Hospital is calling for
YOU. Are you going to do you BIT9
Why not spend few of those spare
hours at the hospital in helping to wipe
out this epidemic7 YOU are needed,
'nd with your help the work viii become
inter. See what you can do todayl

calls YOUNG MEN
| TO The cOLORs
Eleventh Call Made to Ke-
nosha Men to Enlist for
the Students Army
Training Corps.
400 NEEDED AT MADISON
superintendent Of Kenosha School is
Urged to Make Final Call for
Men TO Serve Their Country
and Get an Education.
400 NEEDED At MADISON

Edwin Fl. Gardner, Chairman on the
committee on student attendance at
the University of Wisconsin today
made a new appeal to the young
men of Kenosha to enlist in the Stu
dents Army Training Corps at the
University and fill up the ranks and
the colors there. He declared in a
letter addressed to Mrs. Mary d.
Bradford, Superintendent Of the Keno
sha Schools that more than 400 more
students may be accepted at the
school for this special training. Mrs.
Bradford has issued a new call to
the high school graduates of Keno
sha to come to the front and meet this
call to red blooded young men.
Kenosha has up to the present time
sent less than thirty men to the var
| ious student training corps. It was
expected that at least hundred
young men from the city would go
to the various schools in Wisconsin
open for this training. The oppor-
tunity is rare one to combine edu-
cational work with patriotic response
to the call Of the nation.
In his letter calling for men Mr..
Gardner says:
Tt seems probable to me that you
know some young men in your vicin-
Iity, high school graduates, who might
still decide to enter the Students
Army Training Corps at the University
of Wisconsin if they know that the
opportunity was still open.
About 400 more places are now
open here for men. Many men who
applied for places on our lists have
not appeared, perhaps through mis-
understanding. Any man desiring to
enter the Corps should come to Madi-
son at once and get in. AS before,
it will be first come first serve.
Limited service men, that is, those
not able to pass the full medical re-
quirements may enter, and | may
say to you that we have had very few
reflections though we have been ex.
aiming men for eight days.
The notifications in our courses
made at the request Of the War De
partment, within the last few days
have opened the way more directly
than ever for commissions in every
branch Of the service, for instance
we want 100 men for the Marine Corps.
Without going into details, it can
simply be said that there is no branch
Of the service which men may not en-
ter by coming to the University.
The need for officers is greater than
the country at large realizes, and the
opportunity for men in the S.A.T.C
is correspondingly great.
May I not urge upon you at this
eleventh hour to make every possible
effort to direct young men to this
opportunity, which is unquestionably
the one in which they can best serve
their country. y

KENosHA WOMAN WRITES SONG.
Mrs. Cora Lane Dedicates asOur Boys
to Men Fighting for World Free
dom on the Western Front.

Mrs. Cora Lane, widely known as a
worker in patriotic organizations in
Kenosha, has written and published a
patriotic marching song entitled -four
Boys and it is dedicated to the boys
of the American army fighting for
world freedom. 1t is a song with a
personality in it, as Mrs. Lane her
self has a boy with those forces
fighting in France.
The air to the song is catchy and it
is one that you can march by. The
words are filled with patriotic fervor.
The verses and chorus follows:
"Our heroes, the boys of today,
So brave, SO strong, so daring.
With colors flying, march away
Dangers of warfare sharing.
Chorus:
Then hurrah for our boys in khaki
And our sailor boys in blue.
Who are fighting over there
With our boys in the air
And we re sure they'll win this war
for you.
Give three cheers for our gallant
soldiers
Who don t know the word defeat,
When Old Glory waves above them,
There is no one who can stop them,
Till our glorious old flag floats o 'er
Berlin.
Blow the bugle, beat up the drum,
On to Berlin, they re shouting.
They'll get there too and make things
hum,
Sure they viii without doubling.

ET<HERE are nearly 1000 dough-

day now. They are there on
vacation. French and English sol
diors go home when the time for
leave comes. They see their wives,
sweethearts and mothers, sleep COM
fortably In the old familiar bed and
eat home-cooking. They come back
to their places in the Army re-
freshod and renewed.
But the American boy cannot go
home. Either he must go without
vacation-which would mean un-
happiness and reduced efficiency
or q home must be created for him
In France. The Y. M. G. A. has
undertaken the task OF making that
home for him. American Y. M. G. A.
women have the largest part of the
share In the success attained.
When the doughboy arrives at
Atx-the beautiful and comfortable

Alps everything is ready for him.
The Army has furnished him with
