of Oldest Inhabitants
Receives Visitors During Day

The Association of Oldest Inhabitants
of the District of Columbia kept its
headquarters at the Union engine house.
18th and H streets northwest open dur
ing the day The rooms and museums
We're deliberately decorated with flags
and bunting and presented patriotic
appearance. There were number of
flags hung from the windows of the
building. The various souvenirs. por-
traits and historical exhibits proved
to be very attractive to the numerous
visitors, as were also the old fire engine
and hose cart in the museum in the
lower part of the building.
John B. Mccarthy, the corresponding
seer tary of the association, was in
charge during the entire day and was
kept busy in entertaining the visitors
and explaining the workings of the fire
apparatus. Among the visitors were a
number of children. who were much
interested in the ways and things of
the olden times. The flag presented the
association by Mrs Allison Nailor. one
of the largest American flags owned in
the District, was much in evidence
during the day.

In response to the call of hundreds of
citizens who desired to march in the

ganization, and so were not able to march
in any other division, those in charge of
the parade had held open the tenth divi-

The parade had been marching several
hours before the marshals began their
task of getting the unattached" in line

GATHER At COLISEUM
FOR OPENING SESSION
Delegates Tardy in Arriving and
Crowds Are Slow in Fill
ing the Galleries.

COLISEUM, ST LOUIS, Mo, June IA.
AT 1920 O'Clock, forty minutes before
time for the convention to be called to
order there were not more than TWEEN
ty delegates on the floor, only few
officials on the platform and the gal
leries were filling slowly.
There was little excitement, and
bands that marched with the delega-
ton from downtown furnished the
only amusement for the crowd.
Carpenters were beating a tattoo in
finishing touches upon the hall as the
delegates filed in.
The delegates and alternates had
seats on the main floor, arranged like
an oblong wedge, with the broad side
toward the platform. Their seats were
jammed together, arrangements Tor
both delegates and spectators being
much more congested than at either
convention in Chicago.
The only picture of President Wilson
was hung on the speakers stand. 1t
was a small reproduction of photo
graph on a shield with background
of the flag. and bore the inscription,
America First"
The convention hall began filling
rapidly at 11:40 am.

BY noon this spirit had worked itself
well into hundreds of hearts, so that man
after man and woman after woman re-
ported to the marshels of the tenth divi-
sion and so found a place at last In the
great demonstration.
1t was case of better late than
never" and everybody was happy. Tho

nzed and applauded by friends along the
line of march. This group, headed by
Rev. A. H Zimmerman. represented the
Spirit of re" and ELECTED applause all
along the route.
In this division, too. was the Nevin
Quartet, led by Mrs. George Newton. to-
gether with other musically inclined peo-
