With Relatives in Kenosha.

Gobs with enough experience to make

parents and friends in Kenosha
The word hard-won' lis used advis-
eddy Both Stein and Hammer have
seen some0 service since their en-
listment with the eolors in the fall Of
1916.
Their last cruise has been their most
notable adventure. On May 5th they
left New York harbor with German

tied all the principal ports along the
Atlantic Coast and bordering the Gulf
Of Mexico. They then assembled the
Mississippi as far as st. Louis.

New Orleans and will 60 aboard at st.
Louis upon the expiration of their
leave.
Thereafter they expect to sail down
the 9 Father of Waters, touch at Gal
weston, and proceed southwark to the
Panama Canal. If not relieved here
the Tuscarora viii cross the Canal and
continue to Seattle, Washington, via
the Gulf Of California, and the Pa

Hugo Stein, Jr., the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugo Stein of $50 Lake aavenue.
His pal and buddy is Henry Hammer,
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Kan

When questioned as to whether or
not they would re-enlist at the end of
their present enlistment period one of
the sailors replied nonchalantly:

shortly have an opportunity to see a
German submarine in action. While in
New York they saw the sU.C.-97' start

Many Ventures Of Entertainment
Committee of G. of G

The Kenosha Chamber of Commerce
had one of its dreams come true this
morning. 1t has long desired to have a
portable moving picture machine and
this morning one arrived. 1T was the
gift of H. Z. Barden, the chairman OF
the Educational Committee of the or
ganization.
The committee gave little enter
tainment out at Willowbrook the other
day, said Mr.. Barden in explaining
his wife, and the one thing we lacked
was to have movies for the folks out
there. This machine will make that
possible and that alone will be worth
everything it cost = The machine is
a standard one of the best type and
any standard films may be used in it
with safety.
The movie Machine" will be kept
at the Chamber of Commerce offices and

KIDDIEs KUTE AS KEWPIEs.
And Plot That S Just as Klever Make
Daddy Longlegs" One of the
BEST Ever in the Movies.

The old-timer went to the picture
show-not that he wanted to; he just
drifted in, possibly because the sign
read Daddy Longlegs' and he
thought may be there might be some
thing in it TO please even an old-timer
There was.
The old timer had seen shows and
shows. If the truth were known he
was blase He was always talking
about the good old days. and men
tioning Edna May, Minnie Maddern
and others of the nineties as the non
plus ultra Of the stage. AS for the
movies-wel they were just make
believe shows hardly worth seeing much
less praising.
Anyway he went to the picture show,
which in this case happened to be the
New Majestic on Main street. He
meant to sit down somewhere in the
back seats but the house was SO crowd
ed that he had to go way down in front
to get any seat at all
He didn't pay much attention to the
picture for a moment until little wisp
of a girl like someone he had known
once caught his eye and held it.
She was pretty in spite of the fact
that she was dressed in checkered
gingham-or was it calico2 She had a
way of smiling wistfully-with a
Idreaminess that the old-timer liked.
He forgot about Edna May. She seem
ed suddenly SO old. He wanted to
know more about that little trick who
wore her hair in braids and drank
apple jack like a veteran.
6 Who is the kiddieg' he inquired of
the flm-fan in the next seat.
The woman was Mortified.
SsThat's Mary Pickford, she an
swered disgustedly as if he were Rip
Van Wrinkle or someone.
But the old-timer didn't mind her
ridicule He was too interested in
Mary. BY now she was growing up.
She was no longer the slavey at the
orphanage. She was Miss Judy Alb
bott, the most charming girl at the
boarding ScnOOl ana Ine OlQ-Ilmer was
just as crazy about her as were Jimmy
Mcbride and Jarvis Pendleton. Also
he loved the way she was nice to
Daddy Longlegs, because well, be-
cause Daddy Longlegs was something
of an old-timer, too.
He saw her through and still sat there
wondering why they had slides and
other pictures at the New Majestic. He
wanted to see Mary just once more be-
fore he went home for supper.
s.Say, Charlie, = the old-timer said
as he reached home just as the last
vestige Of heat drifted away from
the French frys, I'd we want to see
real show?''
That's me all over his neighbor
answered expectantly.
.Then beat it down to the New Ma
jestic,'' the old-timer advised him,
and see a girl that IS just as pretty
as Edna May and twice as human.
Her name Mary Pickford and she s
got guardian or something named
Daddy Longlegs.
