comma nder's belief that they could bear
a greater load. II Is eaid that the
amount Of gasolene burned In the two
lights up the American coast has con-
WINGED Commander Towers that n little
more fuel aboard would be a wise pre-
caution.
The principal reason for this big con-
sumption OF gasolenc was the amount
used in fighting the way against head
winds on approaching the Newfoundland
coast. The pilots are said to have had
no easy time in making land against
the gusty wind, and are now very dis
trustful OF the winds about the New
foundand coast. which must be passed
before the steadier air currents of lower
latitudes are reached.
Some failures, the correspondents have
been warned. will probably be met in
the attempts to get or the water with
the overload. These failures TO take
the air must not be viewed as SERIOUS
as the reason the tests are being made
is to determine the greatest possible
load which can be carried, and not
whether the planes can carry enough
gasolene to bear them TO the Azores
Even after the water is left--the most
difficult part Of the task with a heavy
load-it may be found that the planes
do not ride the air with sufficient
gasolene pay for carrying 1t. In this
case the planes will return and get rid
Of the overload before leaving the coast.

BUDDY SENDS THANKS.
Member of the s4oth way Out in st.
Louis is Appreciative Of What
Kenosha People Did for Boys.

That all Of the dough boys who
served over there were not forgetful is
shown by letter received by the chief
Of police this morning. 1t was from
Harry F. Cutting, 1859 Adkins avenue,
st. Louis, who was formerly private
III the 340th Infantry of the Seth Divi-
sion. He wrote to the chief in an Eff
fort to get the address Of some Of the
former Buddies of the division and
he had a lot of nice things to say about
Kenosha and the manner in which Ke-
nosha had taken care Of the men of
the 340th. Every man in our infantry
has warm place in his heart for the
people of Kenosha,v said Cutting.
We appreciated the action of the peo-
pie of your town in sending us tobacco
and other things and we still appreciate
it. A lot Of the boys of the 340th
would just like to come to Kenosha
some time aud give our thanks to your
people and especially to Sergeant
Witty Groseynor' our mess sergeant.
Every one of the boys were fond of
Witty and he was one of the best
boys in the whole regiment.

Local School Children Cap
ture Twenty Awards In IN
dustrial Arts Exhibit
AT Milwaukee.
HONOR FOR MISS HOOD
Fair Officials Commend Kenosha Teach
er On the Excellent Showing Made
By Her Sewing, Drawing. and
Construction Pupils.

Twenty prizes 20-Were awarded to
Kenosha school-children who had en-
tries in the Industrial Arts Exhibits at
the State Fair recently held in Mil
Waukee. This was the announcement
made this morning by Miss Edna Hood,
head of the department of Industrial
Arts in the local schools, under whose
direction the various articles were made
and placed on display at the state met
ropolis.
The showing made by the local
school-children gave Kenosha a high
standing among the cities of the state.
Fair officials and judges commended
Miss Hood most highly upon her ex-
hlblts and assured her that they had
reflected real credit upon both the ex-
hibitors and the schools in which they
had received instruction in Industrial
Arts. They also asked her to extend
her work for next year and to put even
greater emphasis upon the possibility
of prizes at the State Fair as new
incentive for work in sewing, construc-
ton, and drawing among the pupils
from the first to the sixth grades.
In the way Of school-honors first
place among the Kenosha schools goes
to the Weiskopf School, whose pupils
won five prizes at the Fair.
The other schools in the city received
awards as follows: the Durkee School,
four prizes; the Columbus School, and
the Lincoln School, three prizes each;
the Balm School and the Grant School,
two prizes each; and the Orchard Knoll
School, one prize. The prizes carry, in
addition to state recognition of merit,
sums Of money ranging from dollar
and half to fifty cents. This, how
ever, is of minor Importance as com
pared with the fact that their award
to Kenosha pupils is evidence Of the
efficiency Of the Industrial Arts De-
partment in the local schools.
The names of the prize-winners with
further data about their entries in. the
exhibit will be published in later issues
of the Evening News.

KENosHANs MAY BE HOMELESS.
Authorities at State University are
Fearful That Lodgings Cannot
be Provided for Students.


Kenosha students at the State Uni
versity who have not already engaged
rooms for the year, may be forced to
spend few nights in the park or at
the homes of friends in Madison. This
lis the rather alarming deduction to be
drawn from the following dispatches
from the state capital.
With total of about 1890 univer-
sity students provided with rooms for
the coming year, at least $500 students,
probably more, are still homeless. With
a possible 5000 service men expected,
the situation looms desperate.
An urgent appeal to citizens in
the central part of the city to open
their homes to students has been is
sued by the university.
Following a survey of the room
ing situation in the west end, it has
been revealed that about $500 men
and 1000 women are provided with
lodging.
There are rooms enough to accommo-
date about 1000 men in lodging houses,
and 1000 in the fraternity houses.
About 200 more live in the city. Of
the 5000 service men expected. some
probably will be Implications, as many
already are university students. Be
tween 1900 and 1000 new men, esti-
mates Dean Goodnight, are still un
provided for.
Between 1000 and $500 women are
expected. Only 1000 are provided with
rooms. More than 1900 were enrolled
in the summer session About 555 are
listed for rooms in lodging houses. The
fourteen sorority houses have capacity
for $50. About 800 live in the city.
Dormitories and cooperative houses
will accommodate 800 more.
A survey of rooms has shown that
prices average from $500 to $500 a
person per week where two occupy .
room, and from $500 to $500 for sin
gle rooms. In few instances, it has
been reported that advantage of the
crowded situation has been taken and
exorbitant prices, as high as $500 and
$1,000 a week, have been asked
Because of the increase in rents 8nd
the cost of heating, those seeking rooms
have declared a nominal increase in
rents was expected. On the other
hand, it has been pointed out that a
fair price should not be exceeded,
particularly because Of the service
men, who could not afford otherwise
to come to the university.

IT'S BOOKS AND BOOKS.
Miss Ada Mccarthy Who Has Been
Aiding Library Work Tells OF Eager
ness Of Men for Books.

ness Of Men for Books.
Miss Ada Mccarthy Of the Democrat
ic Printing Co., Madison, Wis, visited
at the Simmons Library Monday. Miss
Mccarthy who has been assisting in
the library work at Ft. Sheridan, spoke
of the work which is being done through
the libraries at the various base hos
pitfalls.
approximately 1900 wounded soldiers
are being cared for at TT. Sheridan,
which is the largest base hospital in the
country. Practically every man is an
xious to study some subject. Those
who are able, come to the library to Sc
cure their books, but it is very often
necessary for the Librarians to carry
the books to the men in the wards for
there are many who are unable to sit
up. Books are the Godsend Of the men
in the hospitals and 60 long way
toward relieving the monotony of con-
finement.
Miss Mccarthy stated that one could
learn many lessons in unselfshness and
patience from the boys who are con-
fined to the hospital She said that it
was heart-rending to see the plight of
some of the boys but that the boys
themselves were just as cheerful as
could be. The men who are conva1-
escent display marked spirit of help
fulness to their more unfortunate com
rades. They can be seen wheeling men
about, or reading to those who cannot
see. Entertainments are given almost
every night and sometimes it is neces-
sary to carry the men in on their cots
in order that they may participate in
the merriment.
