KONECNY To GIVE
RECITAL FRIDAY
Member Of ExpeditiOnary
Forces Here Under
Auspices of Legion.

With 500 hundred tickets already
sold through personal solicitation
on the part of members and prom
lse OF a general demand for box
Office sales, members Of the Ameri-
can Legion post Of this city are look
ing forward TO a triumph in their
first program, to be staged at the
Oliver theater, Friday, Feb. 18th.
Josef Konecny, Bohemian violin
list, and a member of the Legion is
the stellar attraction Of the evening.
NJ. Konecny appears here in a pro-
gram strengthened, if possible, by
Miss Martha Stelzl soprano, and
Miss Mary Iris, pianiste. The three
artists extraOrdinaire are In this city
for their fourth appearance at No
tire Dame university, and have con-
cented, on behalf Of the Legion to
appear at the Oliver theater.
Hold Meeting.
A meeting Of men most active in
arrangements for the program was
held last evening In the offices OF
Col. George Freyermuth, command
er of the South Bend post. A re-
port on the number of tickets sold
prompted an urgent request that
people secure their reservations as
early as possible at the box office.
The box Office sale opens this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Konecny, while a Bohemian by
birth. enlisted as a private in the
United States army soon after war
with Germany was declared. Not
until he had reached the shores of
France and after he had unobtrous-
lively entertained his buddies aboard
the submarine pursued transport
did his officers learn Of his talents.
Soon thereafter he was ordered to
the a. L. r. entertainment circuit.
where he appeared for months,
cheering John Doughboy from the
leave areas through the S. o. s., and
from the service OF supply 70 the
very lines.
Enters Legion.
Born on the other SIDE Of the
ocean, but an American at heart, as
his enlistment proved, Konecny re-
turned 10 this country to enter as
heartily into the American Legion
as he had entered the army. He
was among the first members, and
since the Legion's organization has
appeared in its behalf wherever
possible. He saw that the Ameri-
canization policy Of the Legion was
needed badly.
Coming here 10 arrange for his
Notre Dame engagement, Konecny
asked about the local Legion post.
He was referred TO Col Fryermuth.
He learned that the Legion possess
ed some 500 members in South
Bend, but that there was a lack of
general public interest and a sor-
rowful lack OF funds. He offered
his services, for his expenses, but
stipulating \ scale of prices
Good Critiques.
His criticisms everywhere have
been as helpful. One thing regard
ing his program Konecny will play
not only classical numbers. but the
doughboy favorites as well, in his
encores. Some will be surprised at
the wonderful taste of America
fighting men on the other side and
in camp here. Music meant a great
deal to them. And they wanted
good music.
Hundreds Of ex-service men are
planning on attending the Friday
night entertainment The Legion
will be well represented. 1t is hoped
there will be a general response in
a well-tilled house on the part Of
South Bend music lovers

Y WORKERS IN
POLAND PLAN TO
LEAVE COUNTRY

New York. Aug, 5.-Thirty-
seven Polish American Y. w. c. a..
workers in Poland are planning to
leave that country in the near fu-
ture unless an armistice Is signed
suspending hostilities between Po-
land and soviet Russia.
A cable message received here
today at national v. w. c. A. head
quarters from Miss Martha A.,
Chickering of Piedmont, Calf. in
general charge of the workers in
Warsaw, said:
"All well. Leaving soon unless
armistice."
The decision to quit Poland Is
understood here to be the result or
recommendation by the American
relief administration in Poland
that all women workers leave be-
fore the country is overrun by boil
shevik soldiers. II is probable that
the workers will go to Danzig,
where the American relief organ
ization is to establish a base
Actual decision as to when to
leave Poland has been left entirely
to the judgment of Miss CHECKER
ing, it was said at headquarters
No orders have been forwarded to
her. Hope was expressed that 1t
would not be necessary for the
workers to leave because of the
great need of Polish civilians for
help.
The girls include Elizabeth Gray

roreign manufacturers exportir

Foreign manufacturers exporting
their wares to China cannot be too
particular in regards to the design
and colors of the labels placed On
their goods. The Chinese will often
refrain from buying an article be-
cause they do not like the label.
The coloring of label is as i'm
portant as its design. Some colors
and combinations of colors are TO
the Chinese mind unlucky. Other
colors. though not unlucky, are
considered as appropriate only to
certain commodities.
