Three Queens Lost
Kenosha Chess Leaders Study Over the
Boards at First Meeting Of
New Organization.

Three queens were lost Tuesday
evening at the Elks Home.
Guess again-it WASH t full house,
that captured them. It was the first
meeting of the revived Kenosha Chess
Club and three of the members had the
misfortune to lose their "queens in
the games which ensued. Fifteen men,
bers of the club were present and in
an informal way organized the new
club. The first contests were played
to line up the charter members for the
handicap tournament which viii be
staged later in the year.
Meetings of the club will be held
every Tuesday evening in the upper
lounge Of the Elks Home and it is be-
lieved that considerable interest viii
be aroused in the revival of the old
game in KenOsha.

Thirty Employees in the .'Keuosha
Crutch Factory Hammer and Saw
Away to Turn Out Their Quota
Of Red Cross Clutches.

Page the "erutch factory" Then
if it doesn t come, take q walk to the
Kenosha High school building, go to
the southwest corner of the basement
and you will find one of the busiest
little workshops in the city.
The more you study the situation the
more interesting it becomes. Not g
workman in the factory is over sixteen
and yet the superintendent never fears
any prosecution from violating the
child labor law. He never bothers
about strikes for higher wages either,
for the employees volunteer their la
Dor and more than that never do any
floafng on the job"
The question Of a market for the out
put of his factory is another thing that
never worries this superintendent, for
he has been assured that every crutch
manufactured by his workmen viii be
sent to American hospitals where they
viii be given to those soldiers who
were crippled in the recent war.
Now for the explanation. The "Ke-
nosha Crutch Factory is a part of the
work Of the Kenosha High school.
Thirty members of the freshman class
give one hour and half each day to-
wards producing Kenosha g quota of
crutches for the American Red Cross
and learn manual training IS a part
of the work. The superintendent"
lis II. w. Kirn, the instructor in manual
training in the local High school.
The factory has been in operation for
ten days and in that time the boys
have turned out complete twenty-five
pairs of crutches. The work is divided
up so that one workman becomes an
expert at fitting on the EARN rests, -
another learns the art of cutting out
the "stripes'' or gluing them together.
The factory has already exceeded the
quota of twenty pair prescribed for Ke-
nosha and it is probable that they will
send many more pairs later to the Red
Cross headquarters.
The finished product Of this new in
dustry is surely a "thing of beauty
1t is strongly built; is neatly fit to-
gether and is vanished as "slick as a
whistle" The sample has already
been accepted by the Red Cross and
every single one of them is thoroughly
inspected before it is sent away.
Less than two weeks ago the call
came from the Red Cross stating that
crippled soldiers were forced to use
"about anything in lieu of crutches
because an inadequate supply had been
provided. The boys volunteered to lay
aside their personal work of making
such important things as desks or tables
and have worked diligently to COM
plete Kenosha's quota as early as pos
sible. A little overtime work has been
necessary but it has also been given

The first shipment of the finished out
put of the "crutch factory" will be on
display this week in the windows of

will be the rule in the Red Tag Sale, a

of the marvellous bargains which are

ports from towns of the county indi-

the week will be banner ones in the
mercantile history of Kenosha.
Watch for the Red Tag and for
the trademark of the Retailers was
the final advice Of one Of the dealers
this morning. The black trademark on
the red placard is there for the protec-
tion of the public. Tt means that the
dealer is member Of the Kenosha Re-
tailers Association and is making a
real effort to make the sale history

said, "that it will be the early bird

ivities by the churches, it was an
nounced today. The church will close
its drive on February % with a special
"victory service" in every commun-
ity.
The Rev. Frank e. jenkins, execu-
tive secretary of the National Service
Commission of the Congregational
church, announced that although $780,
900 had been fixed as the budget of
the church in the campaign, the figure
should be considered as the minimum
needed. To meet all of the postwar
needs of the church he said, larger
amount would be necessary.
Seven of the fourteen churches CO.
operating in the campaign are pledged
to contribute $4,000 each to a joint
fund for the construction and main
tenance Of union elderly churches -
at government reservations. The Con
gregational church is one that will aid
in this project giving a part of its
share of the $10,000,O00 fund to the
"Liberty church" program.
The Congregationalists will expend
a large amount to complete the war
work of the Social Service Commission
which, is to handle many problems in
cident to transition from war to peace.
A feature Of the Congregational
church's postwar programme is edu-
cational work along lines of national
and international questions. During the
war, the Congregational church or
ganized discussion clubs throughout the
United States. The studies taken up
were outlined by the church and in
cluded weekly lessons on topics touch
ing the war and on the days to follow,
together with their bearing upon the
work of the church It is proposed to
reorganize these clubs on a much more
extensive scale to enable them to enter
seriously into Investigations of after
war religious questions.
Before starting any new work, the
Congregational church will use its cam
paign. fund first to pay the indebted
ness incurred by the church in prosecut-
ing it's war activities in the last two
years. It is proposed to sustain the
cantonment churches for at least an
other year, or until the period of de-
mobilization. ends.
More money will be needed to sup
port Congregational churches situated
in industrial communities, it was added.
In many of these towns the growth of
population was so great that the estab-
lished church organizations were unable
to meet the demands made upon them.
DR.. jenkins, who is president Of Pied
mont College, has been released from
his duties there in order to assist in
the Congregationalists drive in the
$10000,000 Interchurch Emergency
Campaign, which has aroused wide
spread interest throughout the country.
