this war is the biggest undertaking

Concert Delightful
But Anthem Ignored

There was a good crowd out to hear
the band concert last night in Wilson
Park. 1t was a delightful evening for
a concert and the people enjoyed both
music and the starry night. The electric
fountain was at its best and drew
many explanations Of delight from the
crowd. Miss Pauline Liska made her
first appearance as an open air singer
and was rewarded with two encores.
Her singing was clear and her voice
had excellent carrying power. She re-
ceived enthusiastic applause.
Although it seems the public has been
told time and time again that the prop
er respect for the sStar Spangled Ban
ner' when it is played is to rise to
the feet and stand at attention facing
the music, when the national air was
played at the close Of the concert last
night many people ignored it entirely.
Some young people ran about the
grounds needless that the anthem that
represents the spirit of their country
was being played; men stood carelessly

Prices We're Strong
But With Little Change

New York. June 27.-The New York
Evening Sun financial Review today
says:
Today Is stock market was somewhat
more animated than recent sessions and
gave evidence throughout that trading
was not wholly in the hands Of the pro-
fessional element. Actual public par
tieipation was slight, and more interest
was credited to the wire houses.
Speculative activity shifted away
from the rails although a good under
tone prevailed in that department.
Transactions were particularly heavy in
United States steel and in the other
steel shares.
Trading subsidized to some extent at
midday, with prices backing and filling
a bit lazily in the afternoon.
Stimulus for the brisker trading was
found in reports freely circulated that
the government and steel, copper end
coal interests had reached an agreement
with respect to prices mutually satisfac-
tory.
Prices were unstable in the late trad
ing, but they still ruled above the pre-
vious closing level, although a point or
SO below the high Of the day
