Thomas Healy's "Camp of the
Allies"

The American victorious offensive
At st. Mihiel was celebrated with the
most novel entertainment New York
has known when uniformed men OF
the army and navy dined at one Of
the big Broadway restaurants within
o section known as their own canteen.
It took place last night at Thomas
1iealys, Broadway at SiNty-sxth
street. The place was the historic
Balconades Ballroom, on the third
floor, where New Workers for years
had been accustomed to enjoy them
selves. As a patriotic cadence with
the American wartime spirit Mr.. Healy
has called the new place the Camp
of the Allies"
The unique feature is the oppor-
tunity offered the patron to dine in
tents. These are named after the
leading Generals of the allied forces.
There lie a Camp Pershing, and others
named after Foch. King Edward Of
England, King Albert Of Belgium, Gen.
Diaz and New York's own Major-Gen.

MUSIC BY THE BLOCK.

7HERE Is block on Washing
ton Heights where the tenants
are treated to continuous con-
certs. According to the best computa-
ton. there are not less than one hun
dred pianos and player pianos and as
many monographs in this block.
The concerts begin at z o'clock in
the morning and continue with little
interruption until close to midnight.
The list of selections played includes
almost everything from ragtime TO
grand opera. Sometimes when twenty
or thirty pianos and talking machines
are going at the same minute there is
not harmony but the music and ten
ants don't mind.
There are a few German families
living in this musical block, and when
one of them puts one OF their native
airs on the photograph the others
rise In arms and drown 1t out with
Sousa's -Stars and Stripes Forever"
over There" or some other American
number. More than once It has seemed
the police would be called in to avert
hostilities, but fortunately for the Ger
mans cooler heads prevailed.
The people who reside on this block
work in the daytime. for an afternoon
s!esta there would be out of the ques-
ton. The tenants who occupy the
rear apartments set the full benefit
of the concerts; there the sound is I'M
disturbed from the street. On Sun
days all the instruments work over
time. Selections from Verdi and the
old masters are occasionally inter-
rupted by "meows." from a family
cat here and there, or the bowling Of
dogs. The instruments are kept going
just the same.

Southern flying fields, in accordance
with plans of the service engineers
The intense heat of these Southern
fields makes it difficult for the men to
get sleep. and often the flying cadet
becomes drowsy while in flight. One
Of the best remedies for such con-
ditions is a cooling dip; swimming
pools will give opportunities for re-
freshing and stimulating sport.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer's committee
has been for some months providing
sport outfits of all sorts as we'll

graphs for squadrons that have gone
over and for the aviation camps in
the United States, Of which there are
eighteen. The committee hopes to OBJ
tain half a million dollars for the con-
struction Of swimming pools.

idea for silk hose. and at that epoch

years later one Hindres established a
factory for stockings in the Bots de
Boulogne.
This was the first factory in France.
II was n success from the start, and
when 1t received protection from the
Ministers 1t became a gold mine. In
1856 the venture was turned into a
company. From It arose the Society
of Stocking Makers. At this time
ribbed stockings were made In Eng

century later that such wear was in

Fargo VIII Sing
In Celebration
of Liberty Loan

The photograph is all right OF
course, but for. genuine pleasure
probably every one Of the population
who remembers the good old fashion
ed singing school will chose it, and
the poor benighted present genera
ton which has its music canned along
with it's vegetables and fruits. and
which knows so little of the pleasure
of lifting the voice in song-that part
of the population is to have its chance
| Friday night Of this Week-and after
all that's what the fight is about, &c
give everybody his chance.
Friday night at the auditorium
Fargo is going to sing. No one could
be base enough to say that the city
was going to sing to get it's courage
up to meet its allotment Saturday
morning, but at any rate the COM
munity sing at the auditorium will
be in celebration of the coming OF
the Fourth Liberty loan. There are
| to be no speeches, every one is to
hold the thought Of doing his duty
with the bond issue and then to sing
joy into his soul.
General Pershing has asked for a
singing army and Shakespeare OBJ
served that music had charms to
soothe the savage beast and 1t is a
thrilling thought to conceive of the
enemy we'll confined and shorn Of
his instruments Of savagery and then
the victors bursting into one glad
song to finish the soothing Of his
breast. 4
No Test of Voices.
Everybody is invited. There will
be no test Of voices preceding the
sing. The desire to attempt is all
that is required. A. J.. Stevens will
direct the singing and there will be
an orchestra Of seven or eight pieces
to see that the tune isn't lost en-
tirely when Fargo gets going. The
program will include the patriotic
airs Of America, the national anthem
of this country and it's allies and some
Of the songs of the civil war and of
course, the songs Of the day Over
There" and 1.-THE Home Fires" and
other familiar ones. And to give
everybody a real ,folksy feeling some-
time early in the. evening Three
Blind Mice" will scurry about from
one portion Of the auditorium to an
other and the hectic round about
Scotland Burning will travel about
1t doubtless would take something
just as deeply moving as $6,000,-
100000 bond sale to stir that taciturn
nation to point where it's smouldering
emotions would burst into fame.
But it's different with America.
The last word on the matter that
the committee utterss to every citizen
of Fargo is come. There is no
discrimination against age nor voice
culture. 1t is one of the few places
you can take your children where
they will be as welcome to your
neighbors as they are to you-at the
auditorium Friday night at 8 o'clock.

Although the garrett in the aver
age Fargo house is as bare as the
well known cupboard Of Mother Hub
bard, it is still necessary that digging
be done in the remote corners and
some disable garments brought forth,
for unless Fargo is more active the
last two days Of the week than ii has
been the first four, 1t means that
Cass county will fall in its quota OF
one ton OF used garments to be con-
tributed to the Red Cross for ship
ment to Belgium.
The attics of America have been
pretty, well cleaned out during the
last year. In March of this year the
Red Cross collected and sent to Bel
GUM 5000 tons of used clothing.
Since that time there have been SAL
wage sales and the usual demands
from local charities until it means
that to fill this new call there will
have to be more effort and a little
more generosity.
The local contributions have been
few UP till noon today. The salvage
department Of the Red Cross has do
mated a room for the storing of gar
ments and so far as possible the dom
ors are urged to. arrange for their
own delivery, but If there are people
with garments who cannot arrange
for the delivery, by calling Mrs. Dan
strom, 1892, the contribution will be
called for.
There will be greater need in Bel
GUM this year than at any time since
the war has entered that country.
There is a terrible lack of clothing,
and unless America comes to the
rescue it means that children may
die Of cold and those not relieved by
death will face great suffering.
The Red Cross had not planned
this drive for used clothing for the
Belgian refugees until after the re-
turn Of Herbert Hoover from his trip
