Maud Wore Il Robbed

An examination of Maud, latest
acquisition Of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum, has disclosed that
she has bobbed and curly hair. A
rumor that the hair had started to
grow revealed upon examination that
it was just so long as it was when
she arrived at the museum several
weeks ago, showing no tendency to
grow beyond the approved length.
However, it was said to have dis
closed that bobbed hair was in style,
at least among the elite in Thebes,
1900 years ago, for Maud" is q
mummy and is believed
to have been a priestess of the tenn
pie. If she came back to life now
she'd feel right at home.
Maud" is trifle haggard and
shows her teeth, but in spite of her
more than 1000 years sleep her hair
has lost none of it's curl.

WANT ALL TEACHERS
in >ASSOCIATTON
Wisconsin State Teachers AssOcia-
ton Seek to~~Have Every
Teacher a Member.

Madison, Wis.-"Every teachers in
the state a member of the Wisconsin
Teachers association" is the slogan
the association has adopted for an in
tensive membership campaign which
will begin simultaneously with the OPP
ening of the schools this fall
There are approximately 10000
teachers in the public and private
schools of the state, of which only
1900 are members of the association.
The association desires the member
ship of every teacher in working out
its program looking to elevating the
teaching profession and establishing
higher standards of teaching efficiency.
Teachers will never receive SAL
aries to commensurate with the train
ing their profession requires until
they combine their strength and in
fluenee," said E. G. Doudna, secretary
of the association, who announced
plans for the campaign. "Unitedly
they can accomplish untold good for
themselves and the children they teach,
individually they can do nothing.
THE teachers must get into poll
ties, they must present a solid front
to the legislature; they must work to
the end that mean friendly to edu-
cation are elected to public Offices.
Their own welfare demands it, and
they owe it to the profession to which
they are devoting their life and energy
to seek to place it on the highest
plane possible. Only through organi-
cation can this be accomplished. And
we want this organization to be 100
per cent representative of the teach
ing profession in Wisconsin"
Detailed plans for the campaign will
be announced later. The city and
county associations will be used in
transmitting campaign propaganda to
all non-member teachers.
The association was first organized
seventy years ago this month, four
years prior to the organization of the
National Education association. 1t
was re-organized in 1921. It's original
membership numbered eight; in 1922
it numbered 10.7S1, representing 100
local organizations.

The Kenosha Kiwanis club decided
at one of it's last meetings before

an excellent program has been arrang-
ed. There is to be regular black

that already have acknowledged repu
tations in the musical world as Char

Fred Clitheroe, Lawrence Baldwin, Al.

minutes and give several numbers for
the edification of the townsfolk en-
route. Such stops will be at Chippewa

nor, 'if Kenosha doesn't show 'em, no
one will"
1t is estimated that more than four
thousand Kiwanians will attend tie
