DODGE Cc.'S BAND MAKES
SPLENDID APPEARANCE

The Dodge Co. band OF this city
attracted considerable attention
with their bright uniforms in the
South Bend patriotic parade yester-
day afternoon and frequently along
the line OF march was greeted with
much applause.
Unfortunately, the Wooden Co. s
uniformed fire department arrived
in South Bend too late 20 enter the
parade. owing TO the cOngested street
car traffic on the lines between the
two cities. Many Mishawaka peo-
pie were also delayed in reaching
South Bend in time TO witness the
entire procession because of the in
ability TO find even standing room
on any of the early afternoon cars.
