POPULAR BAND
Wheeler and Wilson Musicians in Great Demand-WilI Play Novel
 Concert

The Wheeler and Wilson band made such a decided hit when it went to New Haven last Tuesday with the To- cal Bull Moosers that several engage ments have been negotiated with it since. Some time ago the New Ha- ven lodge of I. O. O. Moose engaged the band to take part in the New Haven day parade, Sept 19. The general committee of the New Haven day celebration however, desired to engage the band itself and have of- fered all sorts of Inducements to se- cure it's services. The band has been offered $100 cash bonus to the New Haven lodge of Moose for it's release on that day but the offer was de- clined, so anxious was the lodge to have this particular band.
 The Wheeler and Wilson band has distinguished itself to such an extent that many out of town engagements are coming in. In the band concert schedule for this year the band will establish a novel plan. It is proposed to give a little later in the season, a request" concert, at which the public who delight in good. music may send in the name of their favorite selection for rendition. Those selections hav- ing the greatest number of requests will make up the program.

SEA BREEZE ISLAND

One of the few occasions during the summer when the huge American flag whose home is at Sea Breeze Island will be flung to the breezes will be the newsboys' day, tomorrow, when youngsters from all parts of Conecti- cut will be admitted to the Island and all it's attractions without charge. The flag is the largest banner of any sort in the world, and it's massive propor- tions have been exploited all over the world through the medium of remark able motion pictures taken of the ex- ercises of its unfurling on July 4. To- morrow afternoon the mammoth ban ner will be hoisted on it's powerful rigging between the two massive tow CTS in Sea Breeze ball park, and, weather permitting, will remain up throughout the afternoon.
 The newsboys' day promises to be one of rare interest. The neweies will parade through the Island with the Waltersville and Lincoln school band and drum corps, and the Wheeler & Wilson band will play a special con- cert. George By will sing. Speeches will be delivered by Mayor Wilson, Former Mayor Buckingham, City alerk Boucher. and others. Wilson

though it is possible to do both Our

They made sage tea" and their
dark, glossy hair long after middle
life was due TO this fact Our
mothers have gray hairs before they
are so, but they are beginning to
appreciate the wisdom Of our grand
mothers in using sage tea" for
their hair and are fast following

The present generation has the adj
vantage of the past in that it can
get a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy. AS a scalp tonic and color
restorer this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
