tie Vessella brings his famous musica
organization to this city for one day
Only. Vessella's Band is recognized
as one of the finest in the United
States and ranks along with Sousa's
Pryor's and Creatore's and it is sci.

attractions of this big event. This
week the band is playing a series of
dali concerts at the Duval County Ar
mory, Jacksonville, and is being heard
by audiences which crowd the capacity
of the big auditorium. The Jackson
vile Music Teachers Association.
Oreste Vessella is not only a con-
ductor of note, but he also is COM
poser of no mean ability. He wrote
the score for several popular musical
comedies and has produced a number
Of single compositions that have prov
ed widely popular. AS director he
is declared without peer. Vessella
conducts his band from a score on
which is inscribed the music for every
instrument of the big organization.
Few conductors are able 10 take in a
full page of music at a glance, but
Vessella accomplishes this seemingly
impossible feat and the result is per-
feet control over every instrument and
blending of harmony and tone that
produces the richest effects.
A special added attraction will be

been brought down from the North es-
pecially for the Florida concert tour
III addition will be special solo mum.

countrY's Smallest Bank.

The smallest bank In America, and
perhaps the smallest organized finan-
cial institution of its kind in the world,
is the Wake County Savings Bank OF
Raleigh, N. c. 1t has an imposing en-
trance but that about describes the
building. 1t has a frontage OF ~
feet, and the entire bank is only 25
feet deep.
Originally the bank was hallway
to the building in its rear, but changes
In the architecture made the hallway
unnecessary, and thence came the
bank. 1t has been success from the
start. 1t requires few clerks, since
only a few customers can crowd In
at a time. There are few workers In
the way of cleaners, doorkeepers. etc.
as they are not necessary.

STATES HELP DISABLED MEN
Louisiana and Texas Are Prominent
in the Work of Assisting the
Unfortunates.

Much encouragement has come to
the district officers of the federal
board for vocational education, as To-
cal interest has been displayed in the
work of re-educatiOn for disabled SOL
diers. The building in which men in
"tryOut" courses are taught at Tulane
university was donated for the pur-
pose. 1t is a modern, up-tO-date build
ing, spacious enough to accommodate
the men who will need this type Of
training in this district. The shops at
Tulane university will still be utilized,
as will the automobile instruction,
and related subjects in English and
in simple arithmetic will be given in
this building. In addition, it may be
used as q social center for the men.
An organization has been perfected
among the disabled men in training,
and other social organizations in the
city have shown interest in planning
entertainment for them. A splendid
spirit has developed among the men
and they seem much interested in
| their work.
A similarly satisfactory arrange
ment has been made in Texas at the
Grub school. Ten thousand dollars
have been appropriated by the state
for use in this school in connection
with the work done by the board. The
school receives pupils at any time, and
no tuition is charged. Barracks are
being built by the authorities to house
the men, and a special mess hall is
being prepared for them.
