Play Her Accompaniment
Yourself---0n the GuLbrQnsen

If "she" sings, you know how poorly
played accompaniment handicaps herLhow
well-played one helps
There are. we believe, hundred singers
of real ability to every one who has the oppor-
h,niy to develop.
Because so few singers have the support
of well-played accompaniments-such as you
can play for her on the Gulbransen.
The True Accompanist
The Gulbransen. of course, never strikes a
wrong note, never hesitates as to the right one
And instead of doubtful keeping together"
there is smooth certainty of performance
Because both singer and player-pianst can
devote themselves to sympathetic interpreta-
ton, with no thought of error, no effort.
The Gulbransen further he lps the singer by
transposing the music for any voice, high or
low.
A Help to Muratore
Even Muratore, leading tenor of the Chicago
Grand Opera, finds need for Gulbransen at
home.
In the absence of his accompanist. friend
can play his Gulbransen for him. And Mura-
tore frequently plays his own Cubransen ac-
compartments. it is so delightfully."- easy.
From that you can imagine the artistic stand
ing of the Gulbransen-and its freedom from
any suggestion of mechanism.

Easy to Play
First it is physically easy to play. Our baby

who did play Gulbransen-ju as shown in
the picture.
Second. you can play the Gulbransen with
satisfying expression, because you produce the
expression as naturally as you breathe, and as
easily.
The Gulbransen. in operation is like deep
breathing. well-traincd singer compared to the
"out-of-breath." gasping beginner.
In fact. you can Judge any player-piano like
a singer-by the "out-of-breath' test
Try This "Breath" Test
Play heavily scored piece on the Gulbran-
sen, pedalmg with only one foot. Try to pedal
slowly
With most any player-piano this is tiresome.
But the Gulbransen is easy to manage with one
pedal 1t is never out of BREATH
Using both pedals. you need scarce move
them to play the Gulbransen softly And a
great crashing chord requires but an extra
touch
This easy breathing of the Gubransen is
what makes it truly satisfying musical In

voice-as easily controlled.
Try this one-pedal ''breath" test at the

day when they were taken over the

passenger bombing airplane, piloted
by Capt. Roy Francis. They reached

Each senator said the experience
was thrilling and enjoyable. Not one
felt at all nervous. Senator Sterling
said he felt safe even though ne
knew he was trusting himself to the

OFF TO CHICAGO
FOR WOODMAN NEE

Congressman G. 3. Randall and State
Deputy Kelly went to Chicago this
morning to attend the sessions Of the
Head Camp Of the Modern Woodmen of
America at which the question of in
creased rates will be taken up.
The primary object Of the session
is to consider an increase in irsur-
ance rates, said to be necessary be-
cause Of the great number Of deaths
from influenza.
An organization called the .Progres-
sive League has been formed within
the Modern Woodmen, and it has also
called convention for tomorrow at the
Blackstone Hotel to keep watch on the
meeting Of the order, and to open a
fight on the convention floor If certain
reforms are not granted.
The grievance OF the Progressive
League is that little or no raise in
rates would be required If funds Of
the order were handled differently"
In this city and county there are
several hundred members of the Wood
men and they are watching the pro-
gress Of the controversy with more than
passing. interest

deemed it the duty of the President

Executive Committee In
Charge of Welcoming Boys
Home From Service Holds
First Meeting.
PLACE SIGN AT The DEPOT
Plans Are Laid TO Have Returning
Units Met With Band and BY
Great Gathering Of the People
July 4th, 9Th, and 9th Big Dates.

The executive committee in charge of
the welcome to be extended to Keno
sha's returning soldiers met for its first
session on Thursday night and first
plans were made for a great home com
ing celebration to be held in Kenosha
July 4th, 9Th and 9th. Definite plans
for the big "doins' have not as yet
been worked out, but it is certain that
the celebration will be made the big
gest thing of the kind in the history
of Kenosha. Members of the committee
are hopeful that by this time fifteen
hundred of the twenty-five hundred
Kenosha men in service will be back
from war and ready to receive the plau-
dts and the thanks of the people of the
city for the sacrifices they made to
make the world safe for democracy.
In the absence of Chairman z. G..
Simmons, the meeting Of the committee
was called to order by Mayor John G..
Joachim. Ora A. butcher was elected
vice chairman Of the CONN ittee; liner
Turkelsen, secretary, and Charles Ches-
Ter Allen, treasurer.
Kenosha people will be given chance
to and financially in the welcome to be
given to the boys coming home. The
city has already assured an appropria-
ton from the funds Of the city and this
will be supplement ed by fi,nd col
lected from the people of the city.
1t is expected that the total Of the
fund will be in excess Of $4,000.
The suggested plan to give every man
who served some badge from the city,
met with frvo~ with the committee and
a committee composed of G. G Allen and
Judge James E. Tully was named to
have charge Of the purchase of the but
tons to be given to the returning heroes
and to secure suitable memorials to be
sent officially by the city to the
relatives Of the men who made the
supreme sacrifice in the great struggle
for world freedom.
Plans will be worked out to have a
great sign bearing the words "Welcome
Home set up at the North w estern
station and the committee will arrange
to have band and a great concourse
Of the people Of the city to welcome
any considerable number of the Ke-
nosha troops who may return in body
from the rrnly.
The definite plans fer the receptions
to be rendered on different occasions
and for the great Home Coming''
celebration starting on independence
Day, will be worked out by sub commit
tees later. Some plan for this celobra-
tion will be presented to the executive
committee at an adjourned session to
be held at the City Hall on the even
ing of Wednesday, April 3rd.
By this time it is believed that the
general outline of the plan will have
been pretty well whipped into Shape.
All of the people of the city and county
will be asked to cooperate with the
members OF the various committees in
making the reception one which will be
notable in the history of Kenosha.

Navy Officials Pay High Tri-
butte To Lieutenant Arthur
Stemm of Kenosha Who
Is Released.
REFUSED CHANCE TO FIGHT
Officials Of the Navy Held That His
Services in washington Were of Such
a Nature That He Gould Not Be
Spared for Active Service.

Your work has resulted in the saw
ing of several millions of dollars to the
navy" This is the word which Pay
master Samuel MCGOWAN sent to Lieut..
Arthur P. Stemm OF Kenosha, in ap-
proving the request Of the Kenosha man
for release from his services with the
Navy Department and the Paymaster
General paid highest praise to the
patriotic service rendered by Lieuten-
ant Stemm II aiding the nation in the
conduct Of the war.
Lieutenant Stenlm has now been re-
leased from the navy and he has gone
to New York to accept the position Of
First Assistant Comptroller of the Rem
mington Typewriter Company at a
salary Of $500 year.
Lieutenant Stemm is son Of former
Mayor G. f. stemm of Kenosha. He
was graduated from the Kenosha High
school and before the United States
entered the war with Germany he was
made clerk in one of the navy bureaus
in Washington. His advance was very
rapid and at the time Of his release from
the navy he was in charge Of the Bureau
Of Supplies and Accounts.
After the United States entered the
war, Lieutenant Stemm asked to be
transferred to active duty with the
navy in foreign waters, but his request
was denied, the officials at Washington
holding that he was rendering such
splendid service in the department
at Washington that lis services could
not be spared.
The story Of the high regard in which
Lieutenant stemm was held by the
navy heads, is shown in the follow
ing letter addressed to him by Paymas-
ter General MCGOWAN.
Ny dear Lieutenant Stemm;
In approving your request for release
from active service in the Navy on ac-
count of your desire to return to civil
life due to the change from war to
peace conditions, [ wish to take this
opportunity to express to you my appre-
iation of the valuable service you have
rendered the Navy while on due in the
Bureau Of Supplies and Accounts.
You have been engaged in making
special financial and cost Investigations
on contract matters of Importance to
the Secretary of the Navy, the Compen-
sation Board and various bureaus.
These Investigations in most cases in
volve most complex analysis of corpora
tion accounts and knowledge of cor
poration finance, and you have handled
them with conspicuous success, your
work having resulted in a saving of
several millions of dollars to the Navy.
The matter in which you have taken
hold Of the many problems which have
been presented for decision and the
volume of work that YOU have turned
out has materially aided the Navy to
help win the war.
In leaving the Navy at this time, you
leave behind you constructive results
of your earnest endeavors and it is
hoped that future IS will follow
you wherever your professional career
may take you.
Faithfully yours,
(Signed) Samuel MCGOWAN,
payunasfer General of the NAVY.
