ing increase by districts:

Labor Situation
in Italy is Easy
fRv Associated Pressl

Rome = While the United States
seems to be in crisis of unemploy-
ment with the number of unoccupied
persons amounting to millions, Italy
which is generally an overcrowded Ia
Dor market, had but 3S8,744 this
summer.
At the same time, there are a great
many sporadic labor crisis in various
parts of the country from time to time,
whole industries seem to close their
doors at moments notice. The metal
lurgical industries of Turin have faced
crisis after crisis but manage to tile
them over. The textile industries of
Northern Italy, too, have had their
periods of slackness. The workers
recently accepted reduction of fifteen
per cent in their wages.
At Trieste, there is much unempoy-
ment. A reduction of twenty per cent
in wages was accepted by the work
men SO that orders could be obtained.
The workmen were told that by next
July there would be gradual reductions
until the total would reach fifty per
cent.

Racine VIII Not
Try Platoon System

Racine, While the state legis-
lature at it's last session passed law
providing for the installation of the
two-platoon system in fire departments
in the state, it is doubtful if its in
structions will be followed in Racine.
The members of the fire department
with the exception of one lone mem
Der, have petitioned the fire and police
commission to request the city council
to allow things to run along as they
are at present, leaving the introdue-
ton of the two-platoon system until
such time as the city is better prepared
to stand the additional expense the
system incurs. It is estimated that it
would necessitate the raising Of an
additional $4,000 for salary purposes

FRIENDS GREET
MADAME THEIRS
Reception at Home of Mr..
and Mrs. L. EEL. Theirs for
10th Birthday.
REMAINS FOR VISIT

| Madame Louisa K. Theirs of Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin's oldest woman, smIl-
ingly greeted Kenoshans who wished
her many more happy birthdays" at
an informal reception at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. M. Theirs, 428 Park
avenue, in celebration of her 10th an
nlversary. The personally expressed
good wishes of old acquaintance were
not the only ones which were received
by Mrs. Theirs. First, of course, was
cable from her daughter, Mrs. Charles
Quarles of Milwaukee, who wired con-
CALCULATIONS Immediately upon arriving
In Paris for a short sojourn. Then
there were letters and kilograms from
prominent persons and organizations
throughout the state in tribute to emil
waukee's grand old woman" The re-
ception room was filled with gorgeous
roses, gifts from the Milwaukee Sons
of the American Revolution, the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution and
the Children of the Revolution, and
from various individuals.
Mrs. Theirs made the trip from Mil
waukee by automobile Friday after
visiting and in resting for Sundays
reception. Sunday noon Mrs. Theirs
had dinner with Mrs. Mary B. Stan
bridge and Miss Cynthia Mcclellan, in
innate friends, and from three to five
o'clock visited with those who respond
ed to the general invitation to meet
Mrs. Theirs informally. Mr.. and Mrs.
E. G. Theirs aided in receiving. A huge
birthday cake was the "piece de re-
sistance" of the sweet course.
Chats With Visitors.
Mrs. Theirs was most entertaining in
her birthday chats. She recalled Incl
dents of Revolutionary days. She is
one of the original Daughters of the
American Revolution; her father, DR.
Seth Capron, was one of the youngest
fighters. She tells of his having taken
Washington across river on barge
and of having bullet, intended for
Lafayette, pass through the crown of
his hat Tales of the trip from White
boro, N. Y, her early home, to Wiscon-
sin, are also most interesting.
1t is present day events. however,
which visitors delight in discussing
with Mrs. Theirs. Through the years
she has kept abreast of current events
and today, although her sight is failing
so that she no longer is able to read
fine newspaper print, she is advised of
national and world topics by members
of her family and discusses them spir-
itedlv. She was one of the first women
of Wisconsin to avail herself of her
voting privilege and is eagerly antici-
pating the next election.
Mayhap Mrs. Theirs many years of
life are due to the fact that she never
worries. She delights in pretties and
quiet social activities and although she
is Milwaukee's oldest woman and one
of the oldest women in the state, her
magnetic personality and delicate
charm mark her as one of the most
remarkable women of the day.

Schultz and Steinnletz Girls
With Escorts Manhandle
Kemp for Money.
HE WASN'T 50 SOFT
And When Bandits Get There
Kemp Was There Also
and Burglars Got None.


You can roll man for his roll once
and get away with it, but it's pretty
hard to take a thousand bucks from q
fellow and leave him wondering just
what did happen. The girls name was
Schultz and the fellows name was
Kemp. 1t was said that one time
Kemp was muchly smitten, with the
charms of the Schultz girl and also
the Steinmetz woman and that at one
time he had loosened the Kemp treas
ury to the extent of four century notes
whereby the girls could purchase some
new clothes. This was Just a few
months ago. The girls with their new
finery betook themselves to Chicago
much to the disappointment of Kemp
but to the delight of the police depart
ment. It was said that the girls then
gave Kemp the merry ha-ha and had
told him to make the best of it.
Clothes, however, wear out and jobs
are scarce in Chicago and the girls re-
Numbering Kemp, paid Kenosha and
Kemp a visit. However, they attempt
ed to grease the skids so that touch
ing Kemp for his roll wouldn't be hard
and so had written him that they were
coming. 1t was only measly thous-
and that the girls had asked for and
they had brought two Chicago youths
along to show just how easily they
could sever the roll from Kemp.
Kemp Couldn't See Light.
The party of four called upon Kemp
and Mabel sweetly informed Kemp
without much ado, that they had called
for some of Uncle Sans treasury
notes. Kemp couldn't get the drift
of the idea why he should part him
self with thousand cold berries and
SO informed the party that Sunday
wasn't Christmas and he wasn't play
ing Santa Claus.
One of the young men stepped be-
hind Kemp and bounced some hard
object off Kemp's head and Kemp took
the count and the four to their heels.
Kemp snapped out of his hop and
ran into his home and grabbed his re-
volver. Kemp was just trifle out
of practice and while his intention was
good, his aim wasn't and the four
escaped. By the time that the third
shot had been fired Detective McClus-
key and officer Rupp were on the
scene. Kemp related his story and the
police began to throw out the drag-net.
Taxi Driver Questioned.
A local taxi-cab driver stated that
he had been approached by a party
to take them to Chicago and he stated
that it would cost them twenty-five
dollars. The party declined and stated
that they would engage another taxi
The driver declared that the party
answered to the description of the Chi
cago party that had attacked Kemp.
