TRACY NEARLY "PIED" IN
RACE AT TYPOS PICNIC
Lots of Fun at the Fernbrook
Park Outing

Attended by more than 1000 persons,
the twenty-second annual family re-
union and picnic of the Union Print
ers' mutual aid society, held yesterday
in Fernbrook park, proved to be the
most successful outing in the history
of the organization. The typos made
the day one OF pure fun from the open
ing to the close.
The program arranged was of a sort
peculiar to printers. There was a
lemon race open to members of typo
graphical union No: p wearing
glasses. Another was for fat men. In
this latter event George A. Tracy, pres
ident of the union and one of the
heaviest political and physical typos
in the state. started out with the speed
of a Mergenthaler under the touch OF
an expert, but before the course was
half finished he suffered from an evi-
dent hot box and ended up in a wofully
pied" condition, proving that when II
came to marathoning he was glaring
typographical error.
The girls race was won by Vivian
Simpson and the boys by Bernard
Sylvia. P. Sylvester carried a top head

bers of the society and Mrs. Ross die

CLEVER WOMN['S
BAND SCORES hit
One of Seasons Largest Crowds
Applauds Fair Musicians
at IdOra Park
Many of Players Have Appeared
on Leading Lycenm and
Vaudeville Circuits

One of the largest crowds of the sea-
son visited Idora park yesterday to
hear the first Sunday concerts in Cali
fornia of the Navassar women's band.
Forty y-eight fair musicians, many of
whom have played on the leading ly-
ceum and vaudeville circuits of the
United States. compose the band, and,
plause which they commanded yester-
day. their engagement will be a popu-
lar triumph.
In the personnel of the band are
many players of national reputation.
Miss Nellie Mae Hoone, who played the
cornet solo in yesterday afternoons
rendition of The Rock of Ages" is
reputed to be- the ablest woman triple
tongue soloist now before the public.
Her solo was enthusiastically ap-
plauded and she was forced to respond
to several encores.
In the evening the soloists were Miss
Vivian Hutchings, cornet; Miss Eliza
beth Shipley, clarinet, and Miss Hazel
Gray, tenor saxophone.
The intermissions In the band pro-
grams were enlivened by the aerial
performances of the Peerless Potters,
who do a breath taking casting act
high above the heads of the crowd.
The Martini brothers, a troupe of en-
tertaining clowns who opened an en-
gagement at the park today as the
successors of the Bruno-Kramer trio,
created a great deal of merriment and
proved a very acceptable attraction.
The NavasSar band is the largest
company of women musicians ever
seen on the coast. 1t was formed by
the merging of the Navajo girls band
and the Vassar girls, two musical or
ganizations formerly well known in
vaudeville circles. When the merger
was effected the members of both or
ganizations objected to giving up their
band names and it was finally decided
to combine the two.
The women players will give after
noon and evening concerts at Idora
park each day throughout June.

There are cheaper laundry soaps than
Fels-Naptha but no other so economical.
Sounds odd, doesn't it7
But it's true.
Fels-Naptha is more economical be-
cause it saves time, saves work, saves the
cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear
twice as long.
Fels-Naptha cleans your clothes in
cool or lukewarm water In summer or
winter without boiling or hot water to
weaken their fabric, and without hard
rubbing to wear them into holes.
1t takes half as long and requires
much less work than the old way.
Try it next washday.
