breaking from that into two small circles,
then four small circles, a cross, and a
square formation, from which they moved
into the exercise of the drill proper, con-
sisting of graceful gliding movements and
manipulations with the scarfs, keeping
perfect time to the strains Of 'The Blue
Danube" and closing with the London

whole was executed with a rythm and
uniformity which gave evidence Of the
most careful preparation. 1t is impossible

LIONS NEW FLUTE BAND
Makes First Public Appearance At
tractive Feature of the Fourth
of July Picnic

lions new Flute Band was one of the
most noticeable features of the Fourth
Of July picnic. 1t was the first public
appearance Of this musical organization.
The members presented very credit
able appearance in white uniforms, with
cream mohair braid and blue aiguillettes.
The tones produced by the band are soft
and mellow-not so loud as those Of other
bands, but very sweet and musical.
Flute bands are almost unknown in
America, there being but two others in
this country, so far as known They are
very common, however, in Great Britain,
the military bands there being of this
character almost exclusively.
lions Flute Band was organized by Mr..
George McElroy, the director, on October
II, 1915. Some people have formed an
erroneous impression of flute band, be-
heving that it is simply a development of
the old fife and drum. However, it is
very different, as is shown by the fact that
it has four parts, consisting Of first, second,
and third flutes, and bass flute section.
The Instrumentation of lions Flute
Band is as follows:
First flute, composed of one E fiat pic
colo and B flat flutes
Second flute, composed of 6 B fiat flutes
Third flute, composed Of fiat flutes
Bass flute section, composed Of F
flutes.
One bass drum, two snare drums, sym
bols and triangle.
With the drum major, the band consists
Of 81 members. The bass section is moi
yet complete, 2 E fiat bass flutes and 2 E
flat bass flutes being lacking. Mr. Nc
Elroy has sent to both London and Bel
fast for these, but the British govern
ment is now using all instruments of this
kind in her own military bands for the
European War. However, it is hoped
that they can be secured later.

DEFINED ATTITUDE OF LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS

The Mexican crisis has brought out
peculiar attitude on the part of union
labor. Recruiting officers, upon request
ing union labor aid in getting experienced
men of the various trades needed in the
army, were told that no help or encour-
agement would be given them One rea-
son given was that the army pay was not
enough. The labor leaders said that if
the nation did not pay its mechanics and
workmen, it could go without them
Back of all this is an apparent deternni-
nation of many labor organizations and
officers to oppose military service. Com
menting upon the matter, an editorial
writer says:
"It would seem that little common
sense would govern labor leaders. What
they will gain by creating prejudice and
hatred against their organizations is not
apparent. The difficulty can be corrected
by universal military service, and some
day may be. Indifference to national
needs and defiance of national calls may
hurry the time when the nation will not
plead for service but demand it.
"Labor's scheme of an internationalism
along class lines and of conflict and COM
petition by classes instead of by nations
is foolish piece of sedition. The United
States will not long tolerate condition
of internal war and it will insist upon
unity in time of need.''

LIONS SIXTEENTH FEAST OF TAB
ERNACLES OPENS WITH LARGE
ATTENDANCE

lions Sixteenth Feast of Tabernacles
opened on Wednesday evening, July s.
with an excellent attendance. The Gen
eral OverSeer, in his opening address, said
81 believe [ am not mistaken when say
that this is the largest audience we have
had at the first meeting of a Feast of
Tabernacles."
He announced that his addresses dur
ing the Feast would be, for the most part,
on the fundamental principles of the King
dom of God. He said: beloved, one
and all, you will either fight life's battles
during this Feast of Tabernacles, or you
will lose them"
Reading from the third chapter of the
second epistle of Peter he spoke Of the
Importance of every member of every
family coming to Zion, which is as much
the ark of safety today as was Noah s
ark at the time of the flood. Among other
things, he said:
"God has never allowed an age to close
without an ark Of safety Noah built
the ark because he believed God, and no.
body will help build Zion City unless he
believes God. If I have any ambition it
is to call the saints Of God together. God
has founded Zion as a place of refuge.
He will take you one of city and two of
family and bring you to Zion.' You
will be sneered and scoffed at, but such
has been true at the close of every age.
The ark has been prepared God invites
you to come into it. All through the New
Testament it is Today Now is the
accepted time Do not put it off. Dur
ing this Feast may the saints be quickened
and every sinner converted"

In statement in The Chicago Tribune
Of July 6, Mr.. Loeb said:
Il have no quarrel with trades unions
properly conducted and in their proper
place, but a union in the public schools
is intolerable. It makes for a divided
allegiance, it breeds suspicion and dis
content, it destroys harmony and creates
strife, it interferes with disciplines, and
halts efficiency.
"The young teacher comes into the SER
vice full of enthusiasm for her work. But
no sooner is she engaged than the union
sets to work poisoning her mind. She is
told that she cannot stand alone, that
her enthusiasm and capacity will not win
her recognition, that she must look to the
union, as if she were in trade, either for
promotion or salary increase.
The slogan Of the union, she is told,

MRS. SAMUEL SIPE
1O4 YEARS OLD
Carlisle Woman, Friend of
Molly Pitcher. Celebrates
Birthday Anniversary

Carlisle, Pa, Oct. 5. - The last sur
vivor OF her generation and one of the
oldest women in the United States
Mrs. Samuel Sipe, personal friend OF
Molly Pitcher. to-day quietly cele-
brated the 104th anniversary of her
birth. Although confined to her bed
from weakness due to the feebleness
of her advanced age. Mrs. Sipe still
maintains to a remarkable degree the
possession of her faculties. She can
still recall the days when Philadelphia
was but small city, Harrisburg a lit
tie borough and Carlisle but the home
of e few scattered settlers.
Mrs. Sipe was born in Switzerland
on October 5. 1S12. and came here
with her parents when only 6 years
old. She lived in Philadelphia for a
short time and came to Carlisle about
aS years ago. She remembers the
days when this town was a stopping
point for the stage coaches and great
Conestoga wagons. She saw the first
train run over the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad on July 1, 1855, and re-
members many other incidents of
early history. She knew Molly Pitch
er personally when the heroine, in
honor of whom the State recently
erected monument here, lived at
Carlisle.
