PATRIARCHS TODON YOUTHFUL ATTIRE FOR CHAR|TY'S SAKE Prizes Are Offered for the Boys" Selling Most
 Papers PROCEEDS FOR AID OF LOCAL INSTITUTIONS Big Parade Planned for Day of Sale and Many Unique
 Features Will Be
 Introduced

The things that are going to be done in charitys name on the 18th of July fairly pass the understanding of man. If anyone sees a judge, minister or doctor daslIing wildly about shouting and way ing his arms, or standing on the street corners shooting craps or engaged in fstic argument with friend over who Is the best newsboy, he need not be sur prised. If he Is suddenly assaulted and threatened with arrest if he does not immediately produce a dollar for his pa per- he need feel no astonishment If he starts home in his automobile and Is stopped and not allowed to pass until he shows yellow ribbon on his coat, he need not be amazed. If he finds Hawaiian or oriental girls running around his fla forivate corner, he need not be astounded. Its all part of the celebration planned for ''Old Newsboy' day. The most dig nified will unbend, the bearded patriarchs will again don the raiment of youth, the great of the city will forget their respon- abilities, and all will unite in seeing that absolutely no one gets by without paper and that the charities have enough money to run until they can secure some other assistance.
 PRIZES OFFERED
 All kinds of prizes have been offered to stimulate the efforts of the boys" and those who prove themselves to be the champions will have some very hand some mementoes of the occasion.
