formed such crush that 1t required
several cops to keep the smaller ones
from being smothered. Old Maud the

taught enough new words TO double
their already extensive, vocabulary.

have arisen early, donned holiday uni
forms and marched in the hot sun be-

waiting for the parade to pass.
But this year the unions decided on a
safe and sane" celebration at Grant

degrees cooler and great deal fresher
than in Whitehall street. The working
folk are there by thousands today, ALL
