Madame Johnst0ne-Bisho
is Social Secretary to
Mrs. Harding.
EN- ROUTE TO CAPITAL
Former Music Teacher Here
Will Guide Presidents Wife
Through Social Season.

Madame Ginevra tombstone Bishop,
for the past two years head of the De-
partment of Voice at the Kenosha
Grand Conservatory Of Music, has been
named social secretary to Mrs. Warren
G. Harding, according to announce
ments received here today by DR.. En-
Slatre Wilson and others of her form
er colleagues at the local music school.
The appointment was not unexpected
inasmuch as the distinguished vocalist
has been for years one of Mrs. Hard
ing's closest friends at Marion, Ohio.
The messages state further that Ma
dame tombstone Bishop is now en- route
to Washington, where she will take
immediate charge of the summer social
functions at the White House.
Singer and Social Favorite.
The ex-Kenoshan is admirably quail
fed to guide Mrs Harding through the
mazes of diplomatic etiquette at the
national capital. For years she toured
Europe as concert-singer and speaker
on American music and American lit
erature. She was acclaimed by counts
and dukes and on several occasions sang
for royalty. She was frequently a
guest in the homes of titled music
lovers, some Of whom are constantly
visiting Washington on missions Of
state. This experience, in addition to
natural poise and charm, has given
her the assurance and dignity requisite
for social secretary to the Presi-
dents wife.
Well-Liked in Kenosha.
Local people who have heard Ma
dame 4 Johnstone-B Bishop sing or who
have had the even greater privilege
of studying with her at the Kenosha
Grand Conservatory of Music, are pre-
dieting a brilliant success for her in
her new position.
"She was always queenly," one of
them remembered today, with voice
that would win anyone; it was so rich
and sensitive"
\ Others remarked her stately bearing
and air of always knowing exactly
what to do. This contributed in no
small degree to her success on the
concert-stage and her velvet voice
which has often been compared with
Gluck's and Schumann- Heink's. "Glori-
Gus" was the word most frequently
used by critics to describe her per-
sonality.
Her last public appearance in Ke-
nosha was at the Virginian Theatre
in June, 1919.
Kenoshans at White House.
Madame tombstone Bishops appoint
ment as social secretary to "the first
lady in the land" may give KenOshans
the rare opportunity of appearing be-
fore President and Mrs. Harding in
private recitals at the White House.
While in Kenosha, the concert-singer
was very anxious to exploit certain
friends and pupils of hers which she
felt had great promise in musical
way Her new responsibilities will
make possible their presentation to
lotteries that may make them nationally
or even internationally celebrated.

BRITTON MAKES
A new REQUEST
Patr0lman Asks That Sus-
pension be Divided Into
Two Periods.
BOARD DEFERS ACTION

Patrolman Eddy Britton, the Keno
sha policeman who was suspended for
thirty days by the Police and Fire
Commission recently for failure to re-
port the details Of rather sensational
affair to his superior, re-opened his
case before the commission on Friday
evening when he filed a request that
the suspension period be divided into
two terms of two weeks each. Action
was deferred on the request as it was
sent to committee for a report in the
near future after a more thorough in
vestigation of it has been made.
President H. B. Robinson Of the COM
mission, said this morning that such
a request had been filed but declared
that he was not yet prepared to make
any statement regarding the merits
Of the appeal.
Wants to Attend Encampment.
In making the request Patrolman
Britton explained that he had planned
to attend the annual encampment of
the Wisconsin National Guard as, a
member of the Kenosha Cavalry Troop
and that by making this re-adjustme
he would be able to take his part in
this work The filing Of the petition
is indication that Britton intends to
return to the police force as soon as
his period Of suspension is ended,
Should the commission grant his re-
quest, he would be back on the force
next Monday evening.
Patrolman Britton was suspended
following an incident at the Pirsch
home on Park avenue when he was
called to account for his offer to ac-
cept fine money and plead guilty for
young lady and young man whom
he alleged to have found guilty of
a misdemeanor.
No Other Development.
There was no other development in
the case. Rumors declared that the
young man in question intended to file
an appeal to the commission to have
the case e-opened in order that he
might clear his name and that of the
young lady in question but no such
appeal was filed, Rumors were also
current to the effect that Patrolman
Britton would ask for the arrest of
another man implicated in the affair on
charge of attacking an officer but
this also failed to materialize.

TO LOAN. MILLION
TOBUILD HOMES
Big Insurance Company In
cludes City in It's Home
Building Plan.
ALL LONG TIME LOANS
Citizens Bank Is to Represent
Company to Take Care of
Project in This City.
ALL LONG TIME LOANS

An impetus to the building of homes
in Kenosha was given today when it
became learned that the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, which has set
aside large fund of its resources for
the task of loaning money to home
builders had selected Kenosha as one
of the forty-one cities in this country
in which money from the fund will be
offered for this purpose. The Citizens
bank of Kenosha has been named the
representative of the real estate loan
department of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company and will be en-
powered to carry on the transactions
of the company with prospective home
builders in this city.
A Great Building Program.
This insurance company has set
aside one of the greatest funds ever
appropriated for the construction of
new homes in the United States-in the
past fourteen months more than forty
million dollars has been loaned out in
cities where the company has repre-
sentatives Kenosha's proportion is
not limited to any specific amount, as
surance being given that money will
be available on long time loans with
easy arrangements for payment for
-homebuilders.
This is the greatest plan that has
been devised for stimulating the &C
tivity in building which is so much
needed at this time all over the
country. First, it is an endeavor to
provide work for workmen Of Keno
sha. Second, it will aid in solving
thei housing problem which for years
has been one of Kenosha's biggest
bug
Compliment to Kenosha-
The fact that the Metropolitan Life
Insurance has chosen Kenosha as one
of the cities where it will invest its
money is a high compliment to it's be-
lief in the future of Kenosha Only
progressive cities which appear to
have an industrial future before them
have been chosen and wherever the
company has offered its aid, it has
aided materially in solving the hOus
ing problems Of that city.
The plan of the company is to loan
money for the purpose of home build
ing for term of fifteen years, matur-
ing on interest paying date and allow
ing for the reduction Of the principal
by semi-annual installments of ap
proximately three per cent of the
original amount Of the loan. The inter
est will be seven per cent. There will
be the usual preparing privileges.
The loans are to vary in size from
81 900 to $4,000 on new houses or bun
galows up to fifty per cent Of the
value-fair value Of lot plus net cost of
building. The homes must be located
in a part Of the city which has all i'm
provements. It is anticipated that
many Kenoshans will welcome this
opportunity to secure financial aid on
a home building program.

FLEECED OUT
OF LARGE SUM
KenOshans Lose by Dealing
With Mutual" Selling
Concern in Chicago.
WAS OUT OF BUSINESS

Several Kenoshans are sadder but
wiser today as result of an expert
ence with a mail order grocery con-
Germ in Chicago which offered to
make them partners in the business
but has thus far only accepted their
cash and sent them certificates of
membership in the company but no
groceries for their money. The prob
able loss of their savings was made
certain on Thursday when Dayton
street man who has joined the COM
pany and sent in his remittances, went
to Chicago to investigate and found
that the company was out of business
and that he had little opportunity to
get either groceries or secure return
of his money.
This man reported the case this
morning to Postmaster German and it
is probable that the matter will be
taken up with postal officials with
chance that charges can be placed
against the company of using the mails
to defraud the public.
Joins and Sends Money.
The Dayton street man had been out
of work and was looking for a good
way to keep down the high cost Of
living. He read an advertisement of
the Chicago concern which asked him
to send So to become member OF the
corporation and then declared he would
be allowed to purchase groceries at a
saving of from five to twenty per cent
The Kenoshan swallowed the bait.
He sent in his two dollars and with 1t
eighteen dollars more for an order OF
groceries. This was in May Period
ically he received postal cards telling
him that the groceries would be ship
ped soon but he is still waiting. He
went to Chicago Thursday to bring
them back in person and there found
sign telling him that the company was
out Of business.
Believes Others Hit.
"This is the first time that l ever
tried this cooperative business" the
man told Postmaster German" and you
NAV add that it is the last. I've learn
ed lesson"
Postmaster German declared that this
was not the only complaint of the kind
received and he estimated that Keno
shans had lost, several hundred dol
lars in following such plans. He is
holding out hope that since the com
pany actually existed, the Kenoshans
may sometime get return of part of
the money which they sent for grocer
les but declares that in his opinion they
will probably have to wait long while
for the return of the money.
