don't like violin playing" ! told her
"but we may be provided with music
of different kind before the evening
is over"
"What do you mean?"
"Bobbie was fretful today. l hope
he doesn't wake up and cry for his
mother"
won't his father do? 2"
"No, I'm not nearly so skillful at
handling him as Dot"
''I'm afraid l won't be able to be of
much help, I love children, but they
make me nervous when they cry"
There was a ring at the front door
bell.
"Who can that be ~ Edith asked.
"There's only one way to find out
Really, do feel very peculiar about
this. Pm afraid I'll be embarrassed
if anyone comes in"
Nonsense"
eff you don't mind, I'll step into
another room just until you see"
The doorbell rang again.
"That would be foolish" I argued.
eff you do anything Xix ethat-well,
people might think" l stopped
short.
81 suppose you're right. Go ahead
and find out who it is"
"It" proved to be Mrs. Maynard, a
stout, busybodyish person who lived
upstairs.
81 just dropped in to see Dot for a
moment was the way she greeted
me. 81 dare say it'll give you chance
to slip out for the evening. You men
are all alike"
"But Dot isn't home" I told her.
wont you come in anyway"
mo, l see you have company" she
replied stiffly.
dot is out with friend, and his
wife has been good enough to stay
here and help me take care of the
child" l explained.
"That's very nice" But I could see
she did not approve, and that her
tongue would wag ABOUT the incident
for long time.
"Who was that dreadful person %
Edith, asked me when l came back
into the room.
l explained as we'll as l could, but
did not think it necessary to add
that Mrs. Maynard was one of the
most virulent gossips in the neigh
borhood, Edith, however, guessed as
much.
81 suppose she'll tell this to all her
friends and they'll tell their friends
and they'll tell everybody else and
then people will start in all over again
telling each other" she sighed. Its

KEIINOSHA MAY BE
CONVENTION CITY
Polish National Alliance
May Choose City for
1922 Meeting.
M. KOLOWSKI LEADER

Kenosha may be the mecca for the
Polish people of America in 1922, that
is, if plans being made by the Kenosha
White Eagle Society meet with the
success now anticipated. The annual
convention of the Polish National
Alliance will be held at Toledo, Ohio,
next week, beginning on Monday, Sep
TENDER Goth. The membership of the
alliance numbers over 100000 members.
Several Kenosha Polish organizations
are affiliated with the national body.
Michael Kolowski, of 478 Newell street
has been elected as the official delegate
to the national convention by the Keno
sha White Eagle Society and by the
ladies' societies of this city. He will
leave for Toledo the latter part of the
week.
KenOsha as Convention City.
Strenuous efforts are to be made to
bring the 1922 national convention of
the alliance to Kenosha. A committee,
composed of Peter Skowrnski, Kasimir
Novcki, Michael Kolowski, Alex S. Pro-
kop and M. Moculski, has been elected
to further the efforts to bring the con-
vention to Kenosha. Many influential
and eminent Polish leaders of the
country have already signified their ap-
prevail of bringing the convention to
Kenosha on account of it's convenient
locality, in the very heart of the great
middle west.
To Seek Cooperation of City.
The committee will make every effort
to get the proper cooperation from the
Kenosha city officials and business men
in general in securing the convention.
1t is expected that thousands of dele
gates will attend the Toledo convention
and that still greater number would
come to Kenosha next year.
It is expected that the city council
will be asked for moral support in
bringing the convention to Kenosha.
It is possible that such renowned
persons as Ignatz Paderewski, former
premier Of Poland, may attend the con-
vention if brought here.
The Polish National Alliance last
year paid out $3,O17, $685. in death
benefits They bought $772,O67.24
worth of Liberty bonds and bought
high school in Pennsylvania at a cost
of S175,O0O. The organization is re-
ported to be in excellent financial
standing and the membership is grow
ing by leaps and bounds. s

END NOT IN SIGHT.

AS the result Of the Investigations
that it made during the past year the
Lockwood connmittee in NeY York was
responsible for. the revelation Of wretch
ed conditions. the indictment, prosecu-
ton. fning and falling OF not few
who were involved in the extensive graft
operations. 1t was enough to indicate
that efforts in the future should be de-
voted to the prevention Of similar ac-
tivlties, and yet from what has been d.
vulged to 1t on the resumption Of its
probe it is indicated that on.y part Of
the story has been told.
The fixing OF prices 70 prevent COM
petition, the exaction Of certain per
eentages TO permit building activities to
proceed, the payment Of sums for the
Insurance against strikes and the exer-
else of a control over operations in such
way as to seriously interfere with
building operations have been aired but
now comes new disclosure. II Is shown
tha twhile there are about 10000 cleo
trical workers in the metropolis there
are onlq $500 who are members Of the
union because, in many cases az least,
admission Is refused in order that there
there may be issued TO such workers by
the union card switch would permit
them to work on union jobs for which
they wsTn obliged 10 pay $3.50 3 week

that this amounts TO a quarter OF mil

mtted by the financial secretary Of the
union that he had induced union mem
hers to will to him the $1,000 insurance
in the union out of which he paid the
funeral expenses Of the deceased ami

peals and needs Of the dead mans rel

With such conditions being brought
to light it would aroear that the Lock

bic work to do for the public in th0 con-
tinuation Of its nrobe into conditions

end Of its good work is apparently not
