TRIBUNE CARRIES STORY
Interesting Feature In Sunday Pape,
Tells How Kenoshan Made Quite
Stir In Chicago With His
Medals and Everything.

Chicago has discovered a Kenoshs
hero. Under the irresistible caption
g Angelo Can Write the Star Spangled
Banner" the Sunday Tribune carried
the following story about a Kenosha
hero, many times decorated for brav.
cry under fire;
Angelo Biseardi, who faced the boehe
under two fages, has found new faith
in the Stars and Stripes.
A week ago the world war veteran,
who collected seven wounds, the croix
de guerre, and honorable discharges
from both the Italian and United States
armies in four years of war, felt his
love for this new flag of his tested to
the limit. He began to wonder what
the home meaning of the flag might
be when, after fighting under it all
along the Lorraine front, he was al
lowed to walk the streets of Chicago
looking for an elusive job that would
not appear.
He came TO The Tribune to have the
new meaning translated and within an
hour found the hard working forces of
Gen. Leaonard Woods "bureau of JUS
tice' working for him. Then he was
introduced to G. W. Sylvester, director
of Uncle Sam s federal board of voca-
tional training, and discovered that the
Stars and Stripes not only cares for its
wounded men but makes it possible for
them to obtain, free Of charge and on
salary, any sort of education they
desire.
"Can /, I" said Angelo, maybe learn
to read and write the English and
be barber9"
Easy said the board, "and while
doing that you will receive $500 a
month over your school expenses,
The veteran now is entered in Haven
school English classes and is learn
ing the tonsorial art at the MohleT
school, in addition to receiving his
cash compensation.
Biscardi left Chicago to rescue his
wife and son in Italy when the world
war began. He entered the italian
army, received a dangerous wound in
the Alps, and came from the hospital
to find his wife and child had died of
disease. He came back with a dis
ability discharge, found isb in Keno
sha, Wisconsin, and within month
was in Camp Custer with overseas
orders. After receiving more wounds,
he was invalided home, but found he
could not perform his old work in
Kenosha because of physical weakness.
He entered vocational training just
in time to receive the benefit Of the
new ruling, which allows single men
living away from dependents $500
month and men living with Deepen
dents $500 month in addition to
their training.

"but the English is best of all. can

KIDDIEs POLICE UP.
Kenosha School Children Will be
Regular Little Soldiers Keep
ing the Parks Clean.

Fall out to police upl
The command WASH t given in just
that way this morning, but it was obey
ed none the less and with all the
click snap and precision Of life
around an army barracks. It was a lit
tile different though. The soldiers were
Kenosha kiddies and they policed up
neither the battery nor the company
street. Instead they picked up papers
scraps and things carelessly left in the
parks, until anyone Of them would have
passed the inspection of a "hard-boil-
ed major or colonel.
The work was done in keeping with
a movement recently inaugurated in
Kenosha whereby the school-children
have agreed to keep the parks clean in
their respective localities.
The kindergarten children OF the
Gillett school. working under the di.
rection of Miss Dorothy Dave and Miss
Emma Brister have promised 10 be re-
sponsible for the North Side Park. The
kiddies at the Durkee school are going
to keep Library Park spick and span,
while the pupils at other schools will
see that they "keep the faith for
the parks in and around their school
buildings and school districts.
Pursuant to order issued by Mrs.
Bradford, the recess period at the Dur
kee School was somewhat heightened
today in order that the students might
have sufficient time to 'spolice up"
Library Park, which was little the
worse for use following an ideal day
for parking Jones self and ones
friends.

Park Avenue Church With
a Pledge Of $4,000 Over
subsclibes It's Centen-
airy Quota.
DRIVE MAS RATIONAL
Neither Sensationalism Nor Coercion
Were Used TO Reach Goal - sun
days Services Are a Fitting Finale
To the Drive.

Pledging $4,000 to the reconstruc-
ton and missionary fund, Sthe Park
Avenue Methodist church in Kenosha
went way over the top on Sunday
in the centenary drive by which that
denomination is raising $110,o00,00o to
be used in making the world safe for
democracy and Christianity. The quota
for the local church was $4,000. This
amount was more than subscribed by
the early part of last week but the
general contribution from the city was
materially increased by the services OF
Sunday morning and evening.
g And the end is not yet, the Rev,
10. w. Taylor said this morning in COM
ment on the success of the campaign.
{. Subscriptions are continuing to come
in 50 rapidly that the forty thousand
dollar mark may be reached before taps
is sounded for the drive. =
In the way of securing church-work-
ers, another important feature of the
centenary movement, the Park Avenue
Methodist church has persuaded more
than fifty young men and young wo-
men to devote their lives to religious
callings and more especially to the adj
vancement of Christianity in home and
foreign fields. The chief beauty OF this
phase of the campaign lies in the fact
that the results were obtained without
emotionalism. There were no sentl-
mental appeals and no coercion. Quiet
" and Internationally the opportunities
for Christian service were presented
and the young people were left to their
own volition in choosing or refusing
the vocations of the church.
The Sunday services, which conclud-
ed the centenary campaign in Kenosha,
were highly impressive. At the morn
ing meeting forty-seven new members
were received into the church and given
holy communion. At the evening ser
vice an inspiring sermon by the Rev.
o. w. Taylor presented the aims of the
centenary and urged contributions OF
both money and service.
Collections were taken wltnouL spe-
cial solicitation. Only subscriptions
were accepted, The cash received went
into the local church fund and will not
be diverted to centenary purposes.
The devotions for the day concluded
with the Sunday night social hour,
which has become an established insti-
tuition at the Park Avenue Methodist
church. In view of the fact that the
church had gone lover the top dur
ing the day the function partook of
the nature of a celebration Of their
victory. The merriment was kept re-
strained, as is appropriate to a Sunday
night function in church, but be-
hind it was an unmistakable tone Of
jubilation, Of thanksgiving that the To-
cal Methodists had "met the acid test
and kept the faith. y

HERE'S A BIG CHANCE.
To Show Your Patriotism by volun-
teering Rooms for Visiting Soldiers
from Stevens Point

Wanted: Housing for seventy Stew
eas Pointers of Battery 2 who are
looming to Kenosha on Wednesday even
ing to be among the guests of honor
at the May Ball given by the Separate
Battalion.
The barred-arroWers from the p
Estate city will come to Kenosha under
the chapeTonage Of Ut. Lyman Parks,
who is well-known in Kenosha.
The chief problem in connection with
the entertainment Of the distinguished
visitors in olive drab and scarlet lies
in te fact that dances have a way of
continuing long after the last train
leaves for Sevens Point. Accordingly
the soldiers are going to be "bunkless
unless Kenoshans of patriotic impulses
throw open their homes to them and
offer them place to sleep for the rest
Of the night and maybe little Of the
next day.
To be sure the buddies' have no
objection to being bunked' two in
room so that the proposition is not
really so big as the first announcement
might make it appear.
Some six or ten Kenoshans have al
ready volunteered rooms for the sol
diers but it is necessary that some
twenty five more should follow their
example if the Stevens Pointers are to
be treated right in eKnosha.' Volun-
teeTed rooms will be most gratefully ac-
cepted By F. A. Ottati, GIG Flet street
telephone number 1916.
