DEFENSE DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
American Legion Calls On
Kenoshans to Observe
Call of President.
PLAN FOR A PARADE
Despite Governor BIaine's At
titude, Kenosha Post Will
Stage Parade on Fourth.

Despite the fact that the state adj
ministration of Wisconsin has done
nothing to cooperate with the Presi-
dent of the United States and the war
department in its call for the observ-
ance of National Defense Day, Keno
sha will have a part in that observ-
ance.
Announcement was made this morn
ing by E. G. Rhenstrom, Commander
of the Kenosha post of the American
Legion, and by DR.. Thomas Dobbins,
one of the Kenosha members of the
Officers Reserve Corps, that these two
organizations would sponsor a Defense
Day parade in Kenosha on July 4th,
next Saturday.
They are acting on a communica-
ton received from the war department
which stated that, although nothing
was being done to foster Defense Day
observance in Wisconsin because of
the situation known to exist in this
state, that the war department would
appreciate a report regarding any pa
rade or other Defense Day activity
which might be carried on here. A
report is to be made to the war de-
partnent regarding the observance
here.
Same as LAST Year.
The situation is much the same vas
existed last year. When the Presi-
dent called for an observance of Ma
tional Defense Day last year to take
a check of the nations facilities for
defense in time of need, the state adj
ministration acted to prevent the Wis
consin National Guard units from TAX
ing part in the observance as such.
This year Troop will also be no
ticeable by its absence from the pa
rade as unit as no state order au-
thorizing it to take part has been is
sued.
The American Legion today issued a
call to all citizens and organizations
of Kenosha to join with it in staging
Defense Day parade. The parade
will start at Market Square Saturday
morning at ten o'clock and all who de-
sire to take part in it are urged to
meet at the Square shortly before the
hour set.
To Call Headquarters.
All of the patriotic organization of
the city-the American Legion, the G.
A. R., the Spanish-American War Vet
Grams and their auxiliaries have been
invited to take part in the parade.
Also invitations are sent through this
article to all fraternal organizations
which have drill teams to enter them
in the parade. The Boy and Girl
Scouts have also been asked to take
part.
The Reserve Corps members in Ke-
nosha and those who are enrolled in
the Citizens Military Training camps
will also be provided place in line.
Any organizations interested are
urged to call the American Legion
headquarters, who will welcome them
into this undertaking.
The Defense Day parade will be a
part of the observance of the Fourth
staged in Kenosha. In the afternoon
and evening there will be a Fourth of
July program at Lincoln park with
Congressman Henry Allen Cooper as
the speaker and with fireworks follow
ing his address.

SEEK SECRET OF
PERPETUAL
MOTION
Patent Office Still Receiving
Models From Hopeful
Inventors

Despite the scores upon scores of
repeated failures to produce a per.
petual motion device. this field of
the inventor still remains one OF
the most fruitful sources Of appli-
cations for patents. it was stated to-
day. The Patent Office receives
from twenty-five to thirty appli-
cations year for patents on per-
petual motion.
Perpetual motion inventors have
been the bane of patent examiners
since the establishment of the office
In 1896. Although the practice of
requiring that models Of devices
submitted for patents be submitted
was discontinued in 1880 except in
special cases, models are still re.
Quired for all perpetual motion
devices. This is done largely to
cut down the flood Of applications
Tor patents on perpetual motion de-
vices which could not even stand
the test of construction in model
form.
Framed and hung on the wall in
the directors room at the Patent
Office is the following statement OF
Doctor William Thornton, the first
superintendent Of the Patent Of

PITCHERS LEAD
IN POTTERS'
ARTISTRY
Experts Divide Variations OF
Views Into Five Types.
Colonial Form Best

1t is probably not generally
known to collectors that many OF
the American views produced by
old English potters are found on
pitchers only. while others occur
on teapots. bowls and mugs. a
large number of these prints are
also placed on plates and pIatters.
This somewhat indiscriminate use
of entire engravings, or portions of
the same, says E. A. Barber, q
recognized authority on the subject,
renders the work of classification
somewhat difficult.
For the sake of convenience in
describing them, pitchers may be
arranged in groups, according to
form. The variations IN shape are
so numerous, however. that an
attempt will be made only TO
classify them according to we'll
known characteristics.
BY the process of elimination the
number may be reduced to eight
distinct types, and under these all
notifications may be placed.
Type l. Washington Pitcher--Th+
Colonial form is the purest example
of this type, as. illustrated in the
old Liverpool .cream.ware. includ-
ing what are generally known as
Washington pitchers.
This form is tall and graceful,
with curving and recurring out
line, swelling at the center and
widening out again at top and bot
tom. The nozzle is sharp and angu-
lar, the upper line being a con-
tinuation of the straight margin of
the upper edge, while the plain,
bent handle rises to the same level.
Some ,of the Staffordshire forms
we're notifications of this, being
somewhat lower and broader. All
of these may be included in the
same group.
Type H. Franklin's Tomb-The
distinguishing feature Of this type
Is it's barrel shape, the outline of
the sides being a continuous curve
from top to bottom. The handle is
plain and the nozzle is either sharp
or slightly curVing downward.
Pitchers of this form are generally
In dark blue.
Type III. American Heroes-This
is characterized by a straight, YER
teal band, or collar at the top of
varying width, and plain curvng
handle, similar to that in Type /.
The nozzle is usually slightly curved
and outlined with raised ornaments,
Pitchers of this type usually have
some metallic luster:
Type w. Landing of Lafayette,
Similar in shape to Type III, with
handle which deviates more or less
from the plain curve, terminating
at the ends in recurved points. At
the base is usually a slightly pro
jecting edge. This form Is usually
found in dark blue.
Type V. American Heroes No. p
This form is distinguished Ivy
large protruding lip and broad base
with handle which rises above tho
top. generally surmounted by
thumb-stop, or point. The outline
of their body is irregularly curved
and ungraceful. Sometimes the
upper edge is scalloped. They are
in dark blue.
