enlarged by duplication of about the
same size as the present structure, is
an almost possible fact, and work will
commence as soon as possible. The
building committee of the aerie was
instructed at last nights regular meet
ing of the lodge to go ahead and get
plans, specifications and profles for
the building of the new addition. 1t
is estimated that the new'addition will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The present building and property is
all cleared of debt and the lodge at
present is financially in excellent
condition to undertake the work.
The meeting last night was presided
over by Worthy Vice President Thomas
H. Ellis and was sattended by about
three hundred members. The new up
holstered seats, made by the Robert

GIVES PROGRAM-TALK.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Laviolette Enter

Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley LaVioIette Enter
tain as Preface to Cortot Concert.
An innovation in Kenosha's music
ventures was a program talk given by
Wesley LaViolette Tuesday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaViolette were hosts to
sixty guests at their apartment, 1858
Park avenue, the assemblage including
Kenoshans prominent in the social life
of the city, business men and music
students representing a group of the
eity's most ardent music lovers.
Program talks are frequently sgiven
In the larger cities, supplementary to
performances by heraIded musicians
and well known orchestras, but it re-
manned for the approaching concert of
the master pianist Cortot at the Elks'
clubhouse next Friday evening, to- in
augurate the custom in Kenosha.
Mr.. LaViolette has vast and accu-
rate knowledge of things musical and
he speaks we'll and entertainingly. He
gave especial attention to the two ma
jor offerings on Cortot's programme
sar Franck's "Prelude, Chorale and Flu
que" and Chopin's Etudes. A short
sketch of Franck's life was given be-
fore Mr. LaViolette played and ana
lyzed the various themes of the "Pre-
Jude, Chorale and Fugue.' He told of
Cortot's declaration to him recently
that Franck, Belgian by birth but
French by later association, was far
superior to the other French compo-
sers in his embodying the French soul
in his music.
The program talk will, of course,
make Cortot's concert especially enjoy
able to those who will thus have bet
ter understanding of the pianist's per-
Torrance.

Audiences which have seen the
screen version of Charles Dickens
SOLVER Twist" which is playing at
the Orpheum until Friday, are struck
by the obvious fact, that Jackie Coo
gan, the baby actor, is really grow
ing up. Jackie is now six GROWN on
seven," and every day he is growing
taller and taller. To compensate for
his rapidly approaching adolescence,
however, he is developing in all lines
of his art, especially in facial express
sion. In several instances, of "Oliver
Twist" he surprises US with his ma
ture motions as expressed by his great
brown eyes and the rest of his chubby
physiognomy.

The National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America, carrying out its
program of expansion, has announced
its purpose of opening four big ma
tional centers for the expert training
of scout executives. Kenosha scout
circles are keenly interested in the
new movement.
/ Immediate plans are on foot to es-
tablish the first of these, centers near
New York, and the council is already
seeking ground for the purpose. 1t is
hoped to establish other centers, prob
ably one in the middle west, one in the
far west, and one in the south. This
headquarters in the field" will furnish
an opportunity to concentrate expert
mental work as well as furnish an ex-
cellent training center, especially for
course in Chow to Train Scoutmas-
ters." If it is not practicable to bring
the executives to the centers for train
ing along these lines, it will be pos
sible to move the head faculty to diff
