Kenosha Associated Chari-
ties Consider Various
Plans for Securing
Funds.
FACTORIES HAVE HELPED
Leaders May Soon Launch Campaign
To Place Organization On Moro
Stable Financial Basis-Work
Must oontinue.

The Kenosha Associated Charities
may be forced to close its offices and
put an end to its successful work in
Kenosha unless some plan is devised
Immediately to secure financial help for
the organization. This was the situa-
ton revealed by Miss Elizabeth Timme,
superintendent Of the Charities, in dis
cpssing their finances this morning.
War time appeals have directed money
formerly given for the support of this
work into other channels and as re-
suit the treasurer of the association is
facing a serious situation.
Just how this viii be met has not
been definitely determined, but it is
probable that the Charities will launch
a city-wide campaign in the very near
future calling fer enough funds to meet
the budget of the Organization. For
some time it was thought that the
Patriots Fund might be used to supply
this deficiency, but inasmuch as the
work of the Charities could not be con
strued as war work, the directors of
that fund have voted that help need
not be expected from that source.
This means that the Charities win
find it necessary to stage a campaign of
its own or drop the work in this city.
During the war In order not to inter
fere with the various appeals for war
charities, the local work has been sup-
ported without an appeal to the public
by individual subscriptions and by the
help from the factories. Miss Timme
declared this morning that the fac-
tories had been marvelously generous
but added that the whole burden of it
should not be left to them and with
the closing Of the war, the directors
felt that an opportunity should be
given to more individuals TO do their
part IN the work
The Charities needs no brief forsits
campaign except the splendid record
which it has made in its reports at the
end of each week. The fact that the
factories have insisted in carrying &c.
through the war period is evidences
enough that it has been very helpful
in its work of directing the poorer
people Of the city.
Since its organization appealszfor
charity have grown less and less In Ke-
nosha as the Charities have shown many
former petitioners for public charity
how they could become self-supporting.
It has come to be the Organization re-
lied upon to find homes for the orphans

Offices would be an irreparable loss to
the city.
The various plans consideration rails
ing money for the Charities viii be
brought before the Board of Directors
at the regular monthly meeting to be
held on Thursday at noon at the Elk
club.

Merry Little Fantasy Of
Childhood Given Under the
Direction of Dominican
Sisters Wins Applause.
PLAYS TO CAPACITY HOUSE
More Than Hundred Children From
st. James Parish Have Part In splen-
did Production Given AT Rhode OPP
era House On Tuesday Evening.

One Of the happiest fantasies Of
childhood seen in Kenosha in many a
day was given at the Rhode Opera
House when hundred happy roinping
singing children all in bright bib and
tucker presented "The Happy Family
Of Father Time under the direction
and for the benefit Of the Dominican
Sisters Of ST. James School.
The little operebta was replete with
clever songs, wonderful drills Of the
children, pretty speeches and winsome
smiles of happy children in gay cos
tunes The ensemble was wonderful
from the first number until the curtain
fell on the finale a wonderful patriotic
pageant called the pledge of Alleg-
fence.
The children who had part IN the
pretty little operetta were trained by
one of the members Of the order who
came from Milwaukee and the splendid
work Of the children reflected high
credit on their tutor.
The house was filed to the doors
and the program was received with a.
cordially which showed the genuine
pleasure of the large audience.
From so large a company Of excel
lent singers it would be difficult to
single out any special numbers for
praise. Every one OF the children was

PLAYLETs WERE PLEASING.
Tired Of Missions and Our Aunt
from California Win Large AL
dience at Methodist Church.

If not America, who, then, will
save my peoplean
The tragic cry of the Hindu woman,
turned away from a Christian hospital
in India, because there were no more
funds, !, carries the message of the
playlet Tired Of Missions'' presented
by the STANDARD Bearer Society at the
Park Avenue Methodist Church on
Tuesday evening.
The little drama was most effectively
"pnt on Il and .3put over, thanks to
the efficient coaching Of Mrs. Marion
Ravens Peck.
The story concerned the fortunes Of
Young Woman s Society, that was
tired Of missions Y and had decided
TO become a social or literary club.
Their teacher, Miss Weir, well taken by
Miss Ruth Soulen, arranges q clever
series Of tableaux, which shows them
how badly their help is needed in ia
pan, China, and India, and prevents
their making the fatal mistake Of for
getting missions for society or best
sellers.v
Exquisite musical touches were given
to the playlet by the solos Of Miss Edith
Keup accompanied at the piano by her
sister, Miss Mildred Keup.
The seriousness of the nTired of
Missions" was charmingly relieved BY
the broad but never cheap hunor Of
AOur Aunt from California in
which Miss Edith Block proved her
self both actress and Coincidence by
the way in which she impersonated the
role Of mad-cap Sally who didn 4
much care whether she pleased her aunt
or not but who just couldn Il resist a
joke when it came laughing along her
way.
Miss Ethel ,Heindel and Miss Hilda
Bramblett were also convincing as the
different typed Felicia and Resale
Needy.
Between acts the ushers offered
drinks to those who were thirsty no
sold candy to those who were hungry
or, better, altruistic, and in the pro
cess Melted some little money for the
treasury Of the Standard Bearer So
ciety.
