MAKES CALL FOR
CARNATION DAY
State War Mother Pro-
claims CarnatiOn Day
for May 9.
TO HELP WAR MOTHERS

Calling on all persons who revere
the memory of a departed mother, or
who worship the being of a living
mother" TO pay tribute to that glori-
Gus motherhood, Mrs. Cora Lane, a
member of the local chapter of Amer
lean War Mothers and head of the
Wisconsin department of the national
organization, is asking that Kenoshans
continue the observance of "Carnation
Day" on Saturday, May 9, the day pre-
ceding Mothers Day. War Mothers
chapters throughout the country on
this day will distribute carnations to
raise funds for the soldiers relief
work of this organization.
Kenosha's chapter has been unusual
ly successful in its work here. 1t has
established an enviable record in re-
lief work and has set the pace for the
chapters throughout the state. The
projects which have been carried out
by the local War Mothers chapter
have been of benefit to all ex-service
mems organizations, and to such men
in hospitals and institutions under
going rehabilitation.
"A CVLluibIoS Oh W ar MOCuSES makes
it a point to attend every funeral of
an ex-service, man and to each a
flower offering is given. The War
Mothers also:
Provided bed lamps for wards en-
dowed by the Kenosha War Mothers in
the Milwaukee government hospital,
provided games and photograph rec
ords for the men in these wards; sent
twenty-five bath robes to this hospital,
and seventy-five tray cloths; sent on
Thanksgiving Day large box of good
les to every Kenosha ex-service ran
on record in any hospital or inst i
tion anywhere; spent $500 for
Christmas cheer in Kenosha; sent
$4,000 to the Wounded War Veterans
Forget-Me-Not drive; joined other
chapters in providing Christmas
chicken dinner for. every war veteran
in a tuberculosis sanitarium, furnish
ing ii pounds of chicken, two large
birthday cakes, dozens of rolls, salad
in the government hospital at Milwau-
kee once each month during the past
summer, providing homemade goodies
and fruits, and giving each boy a
birthday gift of one dollar; presented
a piano to the soldiers hospital at
Waukesha; gave ten dollars to the
tornado relief fund.
With all of these accomplishments
it is obvious that the War Mothers
are ~worthy of all the support that the
city of Kenosha can provide. All Of
its funds are provided by occasional
social affairs, card parties, and the
like; and the single drive every year
on Carnation Day.
On May 9th, War Mothers will be
placed in prominent business districts
to sell carnations to all who will buy
for any amount contributed. 1t is
hoped that in this way there will be
sold 1000 carnations, and all of the
money received in this way will go
toward the fund with which the Keno
sha chapter of War Mothers are able
to do their work.

RUMORS TELL
STRANGE STORY
Claim Kenosha Women
Found Tapeworm in Ere
ducing Capsules"
is NOT SUBSTANTIATED
Doctors Deny Reports Capsules
Were Examined and Found
to Have Tapeworm Heads.

Investigation made today failed to
prove or disprove a fanciful story
which is current in Kenosha to the
effect that. tapeworm germs have been
found here in capsules, secured by
women who desired to reduce their
weight. The probe thus far has failed
to produce any real evidence, but the
story continues to be told with an
air of authenticity that almost defies
absolute denial.
A representative of this paper went
out this morning to sift these rumors.
The story which rumor had built up
was a most interesting one and is re-
ported below for what it is worth:
Capsule Had Moved?
This story stated that two young
women in Kenosha anxious to reduce
their weight, had secured some cap
sules, which promised to bring about
the loss of weight in remarkably
short time. Each of the young women
had two of the capsules and had
gone to their homes intending to
start the treatment.
One of them, as the rumor con-
tinues, had laid out the capsules on a
table beside glass of water. She
took one of the capsules and was in
terrupted by call to the telephone.
When she returned she thought that
the capsule had moved. She wanted
to be convinced, so-as the story goes
she placed the capsule on the table
and marked the place with pencil
mark. Returning after several min
utes, she found again that the cap
sule had moved.
Thoroughly frightened she went to
a physician, according to- one version,
while the other said to the city chem
ist, taking the capsule to be examin-
ed. There, it was said, it was found
that the capsule contained the head
Of tapeworm.
So much for the story. The News
reporter, equipped with these rumors,
went to the doctors Office mentioned
in one version and inquired regard
ing such a case.
"Well, 1 have heard such a story
and / have heard that the capsule was
examined here, but there is no basis
for that statement" said the physi-
clan. Furthermore, / do not believe
such a thing possible"
The reporter then hurried on to
the office Of the city chemist and
repeated his tale.
"Fine story" commented City Chem
ist H. F. Miller. "It's real interesting
but l don't know anything about it..
Moreover from what / know about
tapeworms it is not probable"
The search is still pn to trace down
the rumor more thoroughly with an
idea Of establishing without question
whether or not such an incident did
occur in Kenosha

GET CLEANUP
BEFORE PEOPLE
Drive to Clean Up Kenosha
to be Well Advertised
Turnout City.
HURTGEN GIVES ADVICE

Through the courtes, of the Peter
Rhode advertising agency every street
car and bus in the city and signboards
throughout the community are to
carry to the people of Kenosha the
slogan Cleanup Time-Make Keno
sha Shine" The official cleanup time
begins May A, and lasts for a period
of two weeks. But every urge 10
being made upon Kenoshans to do
their cleaning at once so that when
the final cleanup is staged the sur
vey which is to be made by the Boy
Scouts of the city will be clean bill
of health for the neighborhoods of the
city where the campaign is to be
stressed more inten sively.
That the campaign be made an all-
year-round affair rather than a two-
week driveAis the plea being made by
Peter Hurtgep, director of the dee
partment of public works, who with
the city health department and the
Boy Scouts, in conducting the drive
in Kenosha. Hurtgen is giving out the
following statement to all workers in
the campaign:
Make 1t Year-Round Job.
"Not only to Clean Up but to pub
licly commit to cleanliness and attrac-
tiveness everything cleaned up. The
mere cleaning is transient and futile
without public commitment to the
new order of things-so that being
clothed in the garb of righteousness
as it were, and, in its new dress, Of
grass, or shrubbery, thrift garden,
or paint, the place will so inspire the
respect of everybody that it will not
be permitted to revert to it's former
disorderliness."
That's the basic essential of real
Clean Up and Paint Up campaign for
lasting benefit to the community.
Don't call it "day" nor "week."
A "day' is merely pathetic, and a
"week" is hardly long enough to make
even fair start. Let's have a real
campaign! And keep it up as long as
may be necessary to do real job;
then renew it on the same basis,
spring and fall, to Get Ready for the
Indoor Months"
To sect the Habit" is the thing and
that never can be done in the annual
bath O. a "day" or week"
Make your campaign more than "a
lick and promise"
Rules in the campaign for cleaning
up the city are being distributed to
the school children OF public and pa
rochial schools so that the movement
is to get attention in every home in
the city. Various Boy Scout troops
in the city already are engaged in
making their surveys. Each is being
assigned to a certain district and the
Scouts are visiting that district and
reporting any conditions that should
be eliminated or cleaned up.

pleting Building and for
New Furnishings.

An increase in the capital stock of
the Dayton Hotel company, the cor

astic meeting of the stockholders of

that the capital stock, now set at
1900 shares of preferred stock at 500
share for a total of $150,000, be
increased at least $4,000 with pos
sibility of increasing it 100000. There

ton with the subscriptions for pre-
ferred stock of the company.

posed, will be used in completing the
building and in furnishing it.

berry system, was also present at the
meeting on Thursday night to explain
the plan of that concern in aiding in
the financing Of hotel projects. This
plan is being considered by the
company.

facturers and business men of the
city were in attendance at the meet
ing, and showed an interest in the
project 1t was suggested by these
that a complete survey of the situa-
ton be made preparatory to making a
definite decision on the stock project
and this is being made. The meeting
was adjourned to meet at the call of
the officers within a short time.
Those interested in the hotel pro-
ject declared that the meeting had
revealed new interest in the project
and had been most satisfactory.
