Interesting Exhibition Of the

The cosmopolitan aggregation which
goes under the name Of the Hickory
Creatore Sousa bandetta, looking
strange enough to be gang of banditta,
gathered in the headquarter rooms last
night and from there wandered down
into Main street and then just rambled
and rambled all around the town. They
are grotesque looking bunch and the
airs they rendered were so sublimely
melodious that the great snakes In the
wild dragon show shed tears when they
heard it. The musicians were experts
in their way and tho noises they made
and costumes they wore were simply
great. The baudetta will be out again
before the week is over and in stronger

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous In the conclusion that
the generally accepted Limitation Of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period that de-
termines its duration, seems to be be-
tween 30 and 60: the proper care OF the
body during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged: carelessness then being
fatal to longevity. Natures beet helper

The first night OF the Old Home Week
carnival brought out crowd which
surged back and fourth until midnight
and Main street, aglow with electric
lights, with its decorations and elumin-
ated street arches, presented brilliant
appearance. Thousands Of bags OF con-
fetti were given away or sold and con-
tinual shower of the stuff greeted the
passing promenader With the noise of
merry-go-round and ferris wheel, the
shouts of burkers in the booths and at
the street shows, the monographs OF
nickelodeons and noise of the bandetta,
Main street was in all respects mid
way plaisance with fun for all who
cared to participate. The crowd was
orderly and no disturbance occurred.

NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION.
Important Work OF the Organic.
alton The September Pro-
gram.

Hon. Thomas Thorson of this city,
one of the delegates appointed by
Gov. Crawford to the annual meeting
of the National Civic Federation in
Chicago, which was dated for May 3d.
26, has been postponed until Septem-
Der, and seeking a reason for delay, a
LEADER reporter interviewed Mr..
Thorson in that direction. Mr.. Thor
son said:
The National Civic Federation,
which waste have held its annual
conference at Chicago May 2S-31, has
poisoned the meeting to September
1926. This is owing to the fact that
an increased interest has been awak-
ened in somewhat new and import
ant questions now before the public,
and that more time was needed for
the preparation.
Thirty-six governors have already
signitied their willingness to appoint
delegates, and twenty-five of them
have announced their appointees.
The National Civic Federation has
now come to be one of the most vaiu-
able institutions of the country.
August Belmont is the president,
Samuel Gompers is first vice presi-
dent. On the executive committee
Grover Cleveland represents the peo-
pie at large, Henry Phipps repre-
Sents the employers, Samuel Gompers
the employees, and Nicholas Murray
Butler Of Columbia college, is at the
head Of industrial economics.
Six conferences have heretofore
been held. Such subjects have been
discussed as primary Election and
Ballot Reform, Foreign Policies,'
TRUSTS y Cancellation and Arbitra-
%tion," Taxation" ''Imigration,"
and the like. A committee of 100 re-
preventative citizens is now consider
ing public ownership. Another Of 200
is looking into the subject of immi-
grafton. The Cancellation depart
ment has been enlisted in over 500
cases involving every conceivable
phase of industrial controversy. The
department of industrial economics
was added to promote discussion of
practical economics, such as wages
and the Cost of Living, the "Shorter
Work Day." the .'Open and Closed
Shop" Restriction of Output"
"The Ratio of Apprentices" "Piece
Work." Compulsory Arbitration
