CLUB HAS SOCIAL.

Mems Club of Evangelical Lutheran
Church Holds Last Meeting of Year.
The Mems Club of the Evangelical
Lutheran Friedens Church had its last
meeting for the year in the form of
social at the school hall Tuesday
evening. Rev. Dornfeld of Watertown,
Wis, field secretary for the Evangel-
zeal Lutheran Home for Epileptics and
Feeble Minded, who visited Kenosha
unexpectedly Tuesday, was invited to
give an address which proved most
interesting and inspiring. He outlined
the work which is being done at the
home, picturing the daily routine and
emphasizing the value Of religious
training by the recounting of specific
incidents.
Following Rev. Dornfeld's address,
an elaborate luncheon course was
served Albert Haubrich, president of
the club, gave short talk. Rev. Carl
Buenger, pastor of the church, gave a
resume of 1920 accomplishments and
touched upon tentative detectives for
the coming year. The club has only
been organized during the past year,
being an outgrowth Of the former
young mems association. The princi-
pie aim is the erection of hall on
the church property which will COM
bine gymnasium and social rooms, 1t
is probable that the hope will be real
lied within the next two years when
building conditions have become more
normal.

stoned Councillor for this district by
the Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation. Mr.. Karnes, who was born and
educated in Kenosha, has been con-
nected with the management of the
State Normal School at Oshkosh and
his appointment is recognition of his
work among service men who were
sent to that institution to take the
training offered by the government.
The former Kenoshan will continue
his work in Oshkosh but in addi-
ton will be in charge of govern
mental work from that city for this
district.
Gained in Examination.
The commission was won through
a civil service examination taken more
than a year ago in which the appli-
cants were tested on Training, Ex-
perience and on thesis of 10000
words on the subject "The Duties and
Opportunities of Our Government in
Rehabilitation of Disabled Soldiers
Shortly after taking the examination
the former Kenoshan was called to
Chicago and placed in charge of a
department of the work About this
time he was also promoted at the State
Normal School at Oshkosh to take
charge of department and by cooper
ating the work of both offices has
been of inestimable value to the gov

carried on for the former service men
who have taken vocational education
at this school.

wise with local placement officers on
the disposition of cases, to meet and
assign students 70 courses when sent

purpose and when absent on such
business, your necessary expenses will
be taken care Of by this board"

Newspaper Reporter
Cleaned up Chicago
(By United Pressl

Chicago - William Hale Thompson,
mayor of Chicago, called Charles Fitz-
morris, former newspaper reporter, in
his office and gave him the job of
chief of police and this assisngment:
"Clean Chicago up Put every gun
man, criminal and bootlegger in jail".
This happened only recently, but
today Chicago is cleaner than any
time in years
Fitzmorris only So, is the youngest
metropolitan police chief in the coun-
try and it is generally admitted he is
putting his new job over with bang.
First of all he called his police force
in and said: 'You are now starting on
clean slate Charges of inefficiency
have been made against many of you
I'll forget all that now Every man
must make good or get out of the de-
partment. Chicago must be clean"
Next Fitzmorris served notice on
gamblers, bootleggers and criminals
that Chicago no longer was their
stamping ground. The demimonde did
not heed him So Fitzmorris started
raids of gambling dives and vice dens.
All those found in the places were
taken to police headquarters.
The whole city was invited to come
to Jail the next day and look over
the crowd to see if any could be iden-
titled with any recent crimes. Ber-
tillion records were made of every
man taken
Since then, raids have Melted. hun
dreds and the criminal class is about
to play quits" realizing the new
chief means business.
On Fitzmorris' first day as police
chief he "scooped" the whole police de-
partment by going out and arresting
bandit who had robbed bank The
bandit had been sought by police for
several weeks.
No amount of influence will get any
Chicagoan out of 'jam" now, the
new chief claims.
