The same contingent OF ushers,
gayly trim IN their long horizon-blue
cloaks, were also on hand to pilot Wis
tors to their places, while Miss Burnie
Newlin's squadron of costumed cigar
cite vendors again added joy to the

Boy Scouts Active
At the soda fountain the relays Of
pink-clad Junior League girls worked
overtime mixing overseas cup" while
in the restaurant Mrs Dom BARRIERS
League for Women's Service Canteen,
did rushing business with its strictly
Hooverlzed menu.
A number of other society women
dropped in, too, to lend a helping hand
at the "Kiddies' Alley" where the don
key, the handorgan and the Punch and
Judy show were in full blast, and the
delighted Boy Scouts, through with
their exhibition. took possession of the
old womans shoe slide and made the
place resound with their shouts.
To- day they will all be back for the
big windup of the show. The finale,
have preceded, is to be dedicated to the
Allies, and a record breaking crowd is
expected-especially in the fifty-cent
seats, of which q number still remain
on hand.

the most popular features of the ore
ceding two days are to be retained.
The battleships from the Brooklyn
Navy Yard will be back for their very
realistic sham battle. The mounted
and state police will give their stir
ring exhibitions. The French sailors
will appear and British bayonet fight
crs will repeat their gripping demoa-
stration of why one goes lover the
top"
