AMERICAN LEGION TO HAVE
COMMUNITY HOUSE

The American Legion has acquired
the property at the corner of West
Milwaukee Avenue and Church Street,
where the Tabernacle now stands and
will remodel the building and make it
something better than am eyesore and
will have hall large enough for bas-
ketball, dancing and banquets.
The boys are planning to do most
of the work themselves, but about $5,-
900 will be needed to take care of the
expense of remodeling and furnishing.
Any subscriptions may be paid to
Post Treasurer, Arthur Porter, of
Post Adjutant and Chairman of Build
irg Committee, Erwin Schmidt, or to
the members of the Building Commit
tee, Mr.. Fred Godfrey, Mr.. o. G..
Schoommacher.
1t is the plan of the Legion to have
the building for the use of any organ
ization which may want it.
This is being done as a temporary
relief until Z. larger and better build
ing can be arranged for.
Let's all get behind this proposition
and boost.

MEMS CLUB NOTES

Prof. Franz Aust, University of
Wisconsin, gave very instructive ad-
dress on gardens and landscape gar
dening before the Mems Club at the
October meeting.
The present civilization is too de-
pendent on machine made things, de-
clared Prof. Aust, and unless a move
ment takes place back to nature, civil
ization is bound to decline.
He urged that more attention be
given % the cultivation of shrubs and
flowers as an aid in developing zest
for country life.
The Committee on Newspapers, S.
j. Brewer, chairman, made the fol-
lowing report which was adopted by
the club:
/. We recommend that this matter
of dealing with the newspapers at this
time be held in abeyance,
2. We offer the following rcsolu-
tion:
Resolved. That the publication of
details of obscenity and crime in home
newspapers is deplored because of its
eYIl effort on children, and we recon-
mend that parents support those pap
ers which are cleanest.
Furthermor That this club,
through our secretary and a commit
tee, bring this topic to the attention
of such other organizations as are in
terested in the moral welfare of the
young, i. e., The Parent Teachers AS
sociation, the Federated Women's
Clubs, The Federation of Church Mo-
men, The Federation of Churches,
Church Clubs, Advancement Associa-
ton, etc.
The following resolution presented
by Judge o. T. Williams, was con-
Cured in:
Resolved, That the committee be
instructed to push forward the prompt
discussion of the newspaper matter re-
ported upon by the said organizations
in order to obtain from each its ex-
pressed conclusion thereon so that the
concensus of opinion of the whole may
be obtained for such further effective
use in future as may be determined.

for by the overwhelming scores Of the
past two weeks, proves that it will
take mighty good team to stop them.

BURGLARS BREhK INTO FUEL
COMPANY'S OFFICE

Burglars broke in the rear window
of the Wauwatosa Fuel and Supply
Company's office last Tuesday even

lock of the safe, but did not get inside
The job looks like an amateur made
the attempt as all of the putty on the
rear window was taken off first in the
hope that the pane of glass could be
removed, this failiT &, the icck on the
window was forced. An expert safe
man from Milwaukee was called to
open the safe. Of course, coal COM
