State of Mind
Decides Success

It is generally agreed by philoso-
pliers, practical psychologists, and in
like, that the beginnings of success in
any line are in the state of mind Of
the Individual
This is perhaps doubly true for the
woman who is accomplishing the
greatest success of all in being a sue
cessful home-maker.
The home is the basis of our civil
cation and it should be built upon a
solid foundation. This requires a
certain amount of financial security,
a feeling Of protection against a
period of inability to work.
Any income that is large enough to
allow choice and discriminating selec-
ton in the buying should first afford
stated sum for savings, or payments
on home. One should have definitely
in mind the kind Of a home, its loca-
ton, equipment, ETC.. one desires. Put
that home on one side Of the scale
and always balance and desire for an
article that is not necessary or is ex-
travagrant against the home you ex-
pect to own. The home may well be an
apartment building, perhaps duplex
at first that will increase the income
and help pay for itself.
With a wise start at saving there
will be some investment to bring in
returns by the time the children are
of high school age.
The balancing of an ideal with a
passing fancy will develop state of
mind that assures financial security
in later years. 1t is the same basis
and great artists have been developed.
Just make up your mind and the thrift
habit will follow.
To many Americans today the finan-
cial problems, despite increase in
prices, is an easier matter then ever
before. The wise wage learners are not
lavishing this increase in income on
luxuries, they are buying safe securit-
les and real estate or are saving the
extra money till the readjustment
period is over and the purchasing
power of these dollars is greatly in
creased.

Then, Cars
Dear Mary:


| started down early this noon
especially to write you a letter but the
lovely street car service we have land
ed me at the office to late to do t..
However, have now my finished nv
work and can take few minutes off
to write you.
Say, Mary do you remember how YOU
used to make fun of our funny. dinkv
little cars? Well, believe me girl. YOU
certainly would have something to
rave about now if you were here.
The dinky cars have been replaced by
large ones but there all dissimilarity
ends. I don't know whether they or
the people who run them are to blame
but the service surely is a farce. In
the first place, as you know, we have
only single tracks throughout the CITY.
which necessitates cars being delayed
at the switches anywhere from five to
thirty minutes. Further delays are
caused by switching trains and so
forth, which holds cars up for like
length of time.
Now, Mary, comes the real joke in
the system. Because of the rapidity
with which one car follows another
everyone who has any desire to get to
the ultimate destinashum crowds into
the first car available it that cross
sechun resembles a newly opened can

ers on the way home in one of our late
transportashum models.
Then the other day was watching
for car at noon time. A first car
passed full to the gills and when a
second stopped (this was a block from
the square, there sure was sumo mob

Oh, Goodness Gracious, No!
Not KenOsha Girl Smokers!

The clerk in certain Kenosha down
town cigar store held up his hands in
holy horror.
ooh, goodness gracious, no" was his
reply to the suggestion of an inquisi-
tive reporter that Kenosha young wo-
| know, there are very few girls in
men were becoming good cigarette
customers Of the house. $50 far as
Kenosha who smoke and the sales of
cigarettes to women who look like they
might be smoking them themselves
could be counted on the fingers of one
hand according to my reports"
The clerk then got Retrospective. He
admitted that two little young things"
had come in one day-oh, early in the
wiuter-and asked him to pick out a
couple Of packages of cigarettes for
them. He insisted, however, that he
knew these girls were not regular
Kenoshans and declared that it was
his opinion that the report that smok
ing among Kenosha girls was on the
increase was largely exaggerated.
No Violet Scented Ones.
"Then you don't carry a special line
or the ladies 2" persisted the reporter

clerk. "Now, I understand from the

women don't like these dainty per-

THE SAME PRETTY BABY"
Joy Filled Musical Comedy PIeases
Capacity House at the Rhode
Tuesday Night.

"Pretty Baby" which has come to
be one of the perennials just like the
tulips and the jonquils and the aspar-
agus and the pie-plant, held the stage
at the Rhode on Tuesday evening and
pleased crowd which taxed the ca
pacity Of the theatre. It has all the
requisites for successful musical
comedy. Tunes which were worth
whistling, good singers, pretty clothes
and best of all, pretty girls. 1t was a
girly show with enough men to set
off the girls. The comedy was at times
just little suggestive of the SLAP
stick" but it kept the crowd laughing
and the curtain bobbing up and down.
Pretty Baby" has lot of tuneful
melodies which are going to prove at
tractive for years to come. The pro-
ducing company appearing in Kenosha
was an ideal one with wonderful
singing chorus and with principals en-
tirely capable Of carrying the lead
parts.

Have Business Meeting and Party in
Club Rooms Tuesday Night.
A large number of the girls of the
Afebia unit of the Girls Community
Service eague attended the meeting in
the club rooms last night. Miss Muir
rays plans for the club work were laid
before the girls and approved. Coun-
sellers were chosen and plans were
made for the st. Patrick's party to be
held in the club rooms next week. The
Misses Emma Stein and Edna Birr who
were hostesses for the evening ar
ranged tables for bunco and served a
delicious sweet course at the conclu-
sion of the game. Miss Alma Goerndt
held highest score and Miss Celia
Butcher lowest score. The Misses
Vera Heating and Sylvia Seideman
were accepted as new members. Miss

fumed cigarettes the men buy for them.
When they buy, they buy the same
brands the men smoke-the strong
ones"
Maybe, now, I might be wrong on
this subject" continued the clerk. at
may be that the girls are having the
men buy their cigarettes for them or
that they are buying them at some of
the drug stores because they are too
timid to come into real tobacco
store"
Same Story at Drug Stores.
The reporter accepted the tip. He
hurried out of the cigar store and went
to several Of the leading drug stores.
Everywhere he received the same story
if Kenosha young women are smok-
ing more, they are not buying their
cigarettes openly in Kenosha.
1t was admitted however, that the
question of women smoking was being
anticipated by the travelling men who
visit the stores. Wherever smokers
cases and the like are carried, it was
said that the larger companies are
now showing tortoise shell land ivory
cases for the women smokers. None of
these have yet been purchased for
Kenosha stores but it is said that they
are on sale in nearly all the larger
stores in larger cities.

One of the girls on the car had just
bot a new spring bonnet. Don't you
wish you were the one who was to
wear it after getting it out of that
jam?
To top it all off tho, dearest, did you
ever ride on a car with a flat wheel?
Well, if you didn't you don't ever want
the experience. That was what hap
pened this noon when I started down
a half-hour early to write to you.
don't know whether it was fiat wheel
or not but it surely sounded like it
and to bear out the sound the car pro
crossed at the rate of one block every
five minutes. Natsherally this held up
other cars on the switches and l was
just wondering what sort of excuses
were the most common in most offices
and so forth this noon.
My only hope, Mary, is that some
person, driven to the necessity for
such action by conditions, will invent
some sort of tackle which can be worn
around the waist so that other per-
sons will have to keep their distance.
Then, stored in secret compartments
should be wireless telephone, a type

what you can do for me in this re-
gard, will you please.
Well, have spent so much time
writing you about my grievances that
I haven't time to tell you about any
thing else. Anyhow l am having a
fine time and hape you are too. Next
time write you I will tell you all the

PUBLIC HEALTH
WORKERS TALK
Address Nurses of First
Wisconsin District Mon
day Afternoon.
TO REMAIN FOR WEEK

The nurses of the first Wisconsin
district who met at the nurses home
on English court Tuesday afternoon,
heard excellent talks by two of the
state board health workers, Miss Nelly
Van Kooy and DR.. Hanika. These two
workers are carrying out the third
or tolloW-up phase in the state pro-
gram for social hygiene.
Tells of Pioneer.
Miss Van Kooy, who has just been
appointed to the state board of health
as supervising nurse of child welfare
and public health nursing, told of the
pioneer public health work. She made
an urgent plea for more workers to
meet the dire necessity She told Of
the work which Miss Catherine Ohm
sted is doing through several states
IN addressing students in high schools
and universities and interesting them
in the subject SO that they will take
up the training and lessen the great
need.
Miss Van Kooy has been closely
identified with the development of pub
lie health nursing in Wisconsin since
1915, and especially with that part of
the state anti-tuberculosis associa-
tlon's campaign which has centered eff
fort on securing nursing service for
the smaller communities Of the state.
She was first employed as demonstra-
ton nurse by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association and in the
talk given yesterday she .sketched
briefly her first work done along these
lines. Miss Van Kooy will remain in
Kenosha until Saturday for the pur-
pose of meeting every public health
worker in the city and comforting with
them upon their work.
Denounces Extreme Clothes.
DR.. Hanika's talk was more on the
general lines of the lectures which are
given at the exhibition of the board of
health's picture, "The End of the
Road" He told his hearers how thew.
as nurses, might put across the public
ity campaign in connection with the
state health program. He painted
vivid word picture of girl, from the
time she is little tot until she
reaches maturity and explained the
changes and the manner of the changes
in her development. He denounced the
prevalent custom of dressing in ex-
IRENE fashions, and told of the hun
dreds of cases of illness which were
attendant upon the following of such
custom for sufficient length of time.
French heels were the cause of many
cases of spinal defects and other dis
eases he carefully pointed out.
The fact that the state will send
speakers to any designated point, free
of charge, if so desired, was announc
ed to the nurses. Both Miss Van Kooy
and DR.. Hanika urged their hearers
not to become discouraged if matters
did not work out right at the start, as
it will take time to educate the public
and that if there are returns at the
end of five years the work will be con-
sidered successful.

KITCHENETTE IS ESTABLISHED.
G. c. S. L. Club Rooms Ready for Noon
Hour Patrons.

Z. Z. S. L. Club Rooms Ready for Noon
Hour Patrons.
The years at the spring
The days at the NOM
The mornings at seven
The hillside's dew-pearled
The lark's on the wing
The snail's on the thorn
Gods in his heaven
ALPS right with the world.
The above excerpt from Browning's
"Pippa Passes," which adorns the
rooms Of the Girls Community Service
League, expresses the sentiment of
the league members who are rejoicing
in the establishment of the kitchenette
which it is hoped will shortly become
self-supporting. Attractive posters
have been prepared for the various
stores and factories inviting the girls
to bring their luncheon to the club
rooms where a cup of tea, hot choco-
late or coffee may be prepared over
the two-burner electric plate. A little
cupboard has been built into one side
of the room and the clubs supply of
dishes arranged on the shelves.
Miss Murray is pre-supposing that
the supply will become inadequate to
the damnd shortly and to Offset this
has plans for provision parties in
which it will be the girls privilege to
help solve their own problems by pro-
viding the necessary articles. The es-
tablishment of the kitchenette empha-
sizes the service point in the triangle
of community service. Miss Murray
extends cordial invitation to the peo-
pie of the city who are interested to
visit the club rooms which are equip
ped to serve the needs of the COM
munity.
