KNIGHTS HOLD
BANNER MEET
Indoor Circus Brings Out
Largest Turnout in
Five Years.
BELGIAN PONY ACT

Knights of Columbus had the largest
turnout the council has enjoyed for five
years on Tuesday evening. 1t was a
meeting of poppy business and de-
lightful social hour which augurs well
for attendance in the future.
The business of the meeting CEN
tered about the Indoor Circus and
Bazaar to be held at the Coliseum on
January % to 29 for the benefit of St.
GATHERINGS Memorial hospital. 1t is
to be the biggest affair of the sort
that's ever been staged in Kenosha and
all the members of the council are
doing their bit in preparation.
Want More Contestants.
The feature which will undoubtedly
prove the most attractive will be a
popularity contest for young women.
Many contestants have entered al
ready but the lists are still open and
any one wishing to enter or to name
friends for entrance is asked to do
so Immediately.
The entertainment is to be of I'M
usually high class calibre, grouping
the best acts of real circuses. Just at
present negotiations are underway for
Belgian pony show and if they are
successful it will make a wonderful
addition to the acts already booked.
Grand Lecturer Elmer Mitchell was
hostess for the entertainment hour
at last nights session, the entertain
ment consisting of a smoker and
supper. t1#

Associated Scouts.

Have some of your boys left the
troop to go away to school or college,
Mr.. Scoutmaster? Do some of the
older boys find it difficult to keep up
regular activities, because of the de-
mands of high school or because they
have to work? All such boys would
probably continue their connection
with the troop if they knew it is pos
sible to do so as Associated Scouts.
It was to meet just such situations
where, in the judgment of the Scout
master and the troop committee, it is
impossible for boy to maintain ac-
tive membership, that provision was
made for the rank of Associated Scout,
and Scoutmasters should acquaint
themselves fully with these conditions
as given in the Handbook for Boys"
page %. This method of helping a
boy who has once been Scout to al
ways be one, has many attractive ele-
ments, and can be employed with
splendid effect. Associate Scouts need
not be counted in the thirty-two linn
itation, and their registration should
be the means of holding thousands of
boys in the movement to become avail
able as active assistant Scoutmasters
and Scoutmasters

CAPTIVATES ITALY.
(By Associated Press

Rome.-Not since the formation of
the kingdom of Italy can any one re-
member such premier as Mussolini,
the man who finds time and strength to
do everything. The superficial OBJ
server might call his actions trivilar,
but such an opinion would be in igno-
rance of their widespread effect on the
imagination of the people.
When the Premier jumps on NOV
ing street car he creates deeper i'm
preston than if, he had delivered a
fowery Grafton in parliament. He
rushes from an important interview
with an ambassador to a sharpshoot-
ers' barracks, where he presents a new
pennant; goes from there to a school
where he caresses the children and ex-
amines infinitely the system on which
young Italy is being trained. Later
the Premier will proceed to a home for
mutilated soldiers, who thrill at his
patriotic sympathy, and finally, when
his staff is worn out with the work of
keeping up with him, he appears in
box at the theatre sending flowers to a
popular actress.

Approve College Education.

teachers at the first afternoon meeting
of the High School Parent-Teacher
association Tuesday afternoon. There

cussed mathematics; Miss Lowe ex-
planned the history course; and John
B. Maloney described the commercial
subjects.
There was general discussion of
after High School-What? 2" The ad-
vantages of college education and
the practical problems of maintenance
were considered from various angles,
but the general opinion favored higher
education from the standpoint that
high school was just commencement
to further study.
There was some discussion too. of
another class in parliamentary law,
under auspices of the Parent-Teacher
council. The present class has proved
so popular, and it was necessary to
disappoint so many people who de-
sired to take the course, that efforts
are being made to have. another class.
The course is under the direction of
Mrs. NJ H. Lieber of Winnetka, Ill.
who conducts her present class each
Friday afternoon If it is possible
for her to remain for an evening class.

CAUGHT BY ODOR.

Mexico City.-Highly scented toilet
soap is dangerous product for
smugglers to handle. Proof of this is
the sudden demise several weeks ago
of Martin Villareal, veteran Mexican
smuggler, who ran afoul of customs
guards at Nuevo Laredo and was
killed.
The guards were aroused to activ-
ity one day when breezes blowing off
the Rio grande waited a strong scent
of perfume. Investigation showed vii
lareal was attempting a crossing from
the United States with 18 burros, each
of which was carrying as many boxes
of toilet soap as his back would hold.
In the ensuing skirmish Villareal was
killed and his soap confscated.
Customs guards along the Rio Grande
say chat toilet soaps and silks are the
smuggler's favorites, next to liquor
running. ,.

FIRE DRILLS ARE
LED BY STUDENTS
Student Government at
Kemper Hall Responsible
for Efficiency.
OUT in THREE MINUTES

The recent fire at Kemper Hall re-
vealed by the quiet, orderly manner in
which the girls responded to the fire
alarm, an efficiency in fire drills which
has been true of the school for several
years. For some time the government
Of the school has been in charge OF
the girls themselves, with a student
council vested with executive privileg-
es. Realizing the calamities which
might take place through disorder, If
a fire should catch them in the badly
constructed dormitory, the girls drew
UP an excellent system of fire drills
and inspection. This has been in eff
feet ever since student-gOvernmen was
established at Kemper Hall, and en-
ables all Of the girls to get out of the
building warmly clad, either at night
or in the day, within three minutes
after the alarm.
Have Fire Officers.
On each floor of the dormitory, fire
captain is appointed by the council.
This captain acts with two lieutenants
in marshalling the girls on her floor,
and checking to see that none are
missing. The floor mother and sister
also assist in this work, but the mat
ter is in the hands of the students. The
girls who were responsible for the
marshalling Of their floors during the
fire last week were: Senior captain, Lis
beth Ray, lieutenants, Catherine Bry-
ant, Mary Pearson; senior A captain,
Grace Dale, lieutenants, Charlotte Jen-
nings, Marian Niederman; intermedi-
ate captain, Priscilla Darlington, lieu
tenants, Dorothy Farrand, Mary E.
Stott; junior captain, Frances Bennett,
lieutenants, Rozella Hettich, Helen
Beaverton; st. Mary's floor captain,
Marian Meniel, lieutenants, Phyllis
Dale, Elizabeth Mccullough
Inspect Rooms.
The fire alarm is rung, for drills, by
the senior captain, and the school is
subject to such drills at any time,
without warning, or knowledge of the
way in which they are to be led out
by the captains The captains are told
in advance which method of exit to
use. OF course, drill at night is more
difficult, but even at night, the girls
maintain their record of three min
utes. Each night the rooms are in
spected, to make sure that each girl
has at the foot of her bed a heavy
coat or bathrobe, heavy shoes and
stockings, and somewhere in the room,
water, so that she may wet a towel
to carry with her. At the sound of
the bell, each girl arises, closes her
window, puts on the garments at the
foot of her bed, vets towel in case
she must go through smoke, turns out
the light, and joins the captain in the
hall, In the day time during classes
each teacher is responsible for her
own room. In both instances, absolute
quiet is maintained. The exit is made
in quick step but not a run.
The advantage of such student con-
troll was proved last Thursday, when
the girls not only were able to man
age their exit from the building quick
ly and quietly without an older head,
but were able to check Immediately to
see that none were missing.

KEEP CHILDREN
HOME AT NIGHT
Troubles Arise from Lack
of Care, Says DR.. C.
Ell. Beales.
is CAUSE OF CRIME

Kenosha may not have a lot more
Juvenile troubles than nay other city
her size, but nevertheless the problem
is very concrete one, and the subject
of its solution is a most interesting
one.
"a large amount of difficulty with
boys and girls comes from their being
out late at night" DR.. G. H. Beale
said in speaking for the Community
Service committee of the Federation
of churches in Milwaukee yesterday.
IF home companionship and dici-
-pline were provided, there would be
little use of juvenile COURTS" Dr. Beale
declared. Sometimes we are inclined
to place too much responsibility on
regulations or institutions when after
all mass consciousness and control
aside from regulations is the thing
that is needed" said DR.. Beale. He
added:
Religious Activities Help.
sThe work of the church and other
religious societies and helpful activi-
ties should be encouraged. Since it
has been discovered that 80 per cent
of all juvenile crime happens after
nine o'clock at night, it seems wise to
occupy our young people with charac-
ter-building programs in studying, in
proper recreation, or in service activi-
ties. For individuals who are inter-
ested in making, this special effort for
our youth, the service committee will
be able to make suggestions.
"Some of the causes today of juve-
nile crime are idleness, disrespect for
parents, improper food, unfortunate
home conditions, irregular hours, or
the lack of proper sex instructions and
the shielding of boys and girls from
wrong doing.
Cooperation Necessary.
Parents need to work together.
Sometimes the children of one parent
will come in and will plead that they
may be allowed to do certain things
because other parents allow certain
privileges. If the community could
stand together for certain standards,
large progress would be made, There
never was a generation of young peo-
pie so alert, SO capable as this gener-
alton.
"Their chief difficulty lies in the
tendency and the abundant opportunity
to run to excess in certain directions,
particularly in forms of amusement
that are detrimental to their all
around developments and in their ex-
cessive participation in social activi-
ties.
"They are socially precocious and
tend to cultivate interests and prac-
tees that belong to later period.
Thus there is forcing process among
certain lines and corresponding lack
in other directions.

LIFE AND CHARACTER READING
January II

The planet governing this birthdate
is Saturn. The sign of the goat, as pic
tured on the Zodiac, and known as
Capricorn, the last sign of the earth
triplicity, is the governing sign. The
birthstone is moonstone.
People of this birthdate are not
quick to anger, but, when their rights
are meddled with, they can be pas
sionate and cruel in their denuncia-
ton.
AS these people talk too much, they
should first learn the lesson of silence
and meditation, and search for the
best method for overcoming the habit
of unkind judgment. They should
learn discrimination about methods of
work, and not ruin their really fine
powers by too strict adherence to
precedence and public opinion.
