SOME IDEAS ABOUT
SPENDING SUNDAY
P. C. Staples, Entertainment
Chairman, Makes 1t Seem At
tractive, "Even in Phila."

Some interesting suggestions as to how
delegates may pass the time tomorrow In
Philadelphia were given today by p. G.
Staples, chairman Of the Entertainment
Committee.
Upon the conclusion of divine service"
he said the visiting delegate may wander
through the peace and quiet OF the old
city, for remember that we neither play
ball, race horses nor dispense firewater on
the Sabbath and over him will steal an
ennobling quietude-the calm before the
storm, mayhaps-for Philadelphia will have
FURNISHED bright her shrlnes and land
marks.
"If you have never seen the Liberty Bell,
we have the original before which you
may doff your hat. Then, too. there's In
dependence Hall. and no less than a score
of traditlon-surrounding spots where beau
eater, cotton grower and, cow puncher may
alike spread their prayer rugs and give
thanks that Philadelphia was here some
hundred and forty years ago to start off
this land of the free on the straight-and.
narrow.
but enough it Is now past lunch time.
and there's an inspiratonal meeting in the
afternoon. too. With the evening comes
the usual foregatherlngs at which we
pump-handle the late arrivals and swap
yarns about last year. 'Twould be pity
to break up these ceremonies with mere
entertainment, and beside it's still Sunday.
AS to daylight hours, we have but one
suggestion dts rather inelegant but we
mean it). save your feet. For on Monday
evening you're to don your fnery. and with
the light of truthful advertising effulgent
In your eyes, fall in behind your particular
band for the long-waited hike through the
lane of fluttering handkerchiefs that will
mark the passage of that stupendous, giddy
dizzy, dazzling pageant, which Is to put to
shame the workings of a Barnum or
Hohenzollern.
Monday evening the cabarets will start to
tune up, and the Western clubs are sched-
uled to lead off with an overture by their
corps of silver-voiced singers that will echo
to the grassy banks of the Chicago River.
So far as we are able to foresee, there will
be no time limit though, If you must sleep,
git it over before 8 o'clock, and be ready
for the morrow.

America is truly a melting pot. Though
the delegates come from widely separated
business zones, they have lot in common
ana they are showing true American
get together spirit in the interests OF
American business.
It is plain to be seen that every delegate
Is delighted with Philadelphia and the
program of entertainment which has been
arranged by the Poor Richard Club.
"A great town" observed a delegate from
Rochester, n. Y. II don't see why any
body ever called Philadelphia slow OF
course, I've only just arrived, but things
seem to move quite swiftly around here,
In other words Philadelphia seems full OF
pep"
Another delegate said, after he had regis
tered at the Bellevue-Stratford
This convention is going down in his
tory as the greatest ever held by the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World.
Philadelphia is going to set the pace for a
new era OF business, The business world
is faced by the grayest problems in it's his

DENVER ON HAND
PRIMED FOR CONQUEST
Wants to Capture 1917 Conven-
ton, and Admits 1t Is the
Best Place of All

The Denver delegation will endeavor to
perform two missions while in Philadel-
pha. One is to give Denver the biggest
boost in the city's history and tie other Is
to capture the 1917 Ad convention for
Denver This was announced today by
Victor Newhaus and John j. Cahill, who
are In the city as the vanguard OF the Dem
YER outfit
For two days Newhaus and Cahill have
been laying the ground work for Denver's
campaign. They have made arrangements
with string of moving picture theatres to
run 27000 feet of Colorado mountain scenery
film Pretty girls have been engaged to
stand in the lobbes of the principle hotels
of the country to distribute Colorado boost
literature to the delegates. More than TO-
900 pieces of such literature will be dis
tributed.
The Denver chaps will present forceful
arguments to show that Denver Is the
logical place to hold the 1917 convention.
They say they have n distinct advantage
over the other two claimants for the honor
Cincinnati and st. Louis.
"Our slogan" said Mr.. Newhaus "is
efficiency We will show that It will result
in efficiency for the Admen to come to
the cool attitudes of Denver in 1917 and
combine businesses with vacation. Denver
Is the ideal convention city of America We
have an auditorium seating $4,000 people
and several years ago, when we handled the
Grand Army, crowd of more than 100, 900
persons, we demonstrated what we could
do.
Requests that the convention be held in
Denver in 1917 will be presented from all
the Governors and business organizations
of the Rock Mountain States. These Off.
cals will ask that the admen award the
convention to Denver, and thereby give
business n stimulant In all of the Rocky
Mountain States"
The Denver delegation will comprise 20
persons. but the Denver Ad Club hopes to
have at least 15O persons from Colorado
in the advertising pageant on Monday
evening. 1t is certain that there are a
lot of Colorado folk In this part of the
country at this time, mad they will be
asked to get into the lineup and aid. In the
showing for Colorado.
THE members of the Denver delegation
will be attired in khaki fishing suits. They
will be equipped with poles and fish lines,
and dangling on the hooks will be Rosky
Mountain trout in natural colors. The lines
will be dropped into the crowds lining the
curbs and spectators will be allowed to
remove the trout from the hooks. On the
hat bands of the marchers will be the
slogan, Denver a Mile High and OH the
right sleeves of the delegates will be a
cheveron containing the seal of the Denver
Ad Club"
