TUSKEEGE BAND AT THE JEFFERSON
Negro Musicians Here This Evenine-Are Praised By
 Neighboring Cities

The Tuskesee Institute hand and Glee Club will give joint concert at the Jeff ferson theatre this evening.
 The programme will consist mainly of classical and popular selections by the band, folk songs by the Glee Club and special musical numbers. such as solos, instrumental and vocal, and renditions by the institute octet.
 That this musical aggregation is capable of pleasing the most critical audience is clearly demonstrated by the following excerpt from the report of the concert given in Atlanta. April g. which appeared in the Atlanta Journal:
 The performance was quite credit to the institution which the musicians repre- sent to their instructors and to the sing CTS and players themselves.
 Their music is a finished product, finely and accurately rendered. Some of the compositions were of the most am bilious order and even the most difficult of these were played with the same feel ing and the same accuracy and skill which characterized the singing of the folk songs"
 The Tuskegee Institute band and Glee Club will arrive this morning from Mont gomery, where the organization played last night at the city auditorium to a capacity house. They come to the city under the auspices of the Jones Valley Lodge.
 The band and Glee Club have filled en- agreements in several cities recently and in each place a fine impression, such as was made in Atlanta, was reported. The party travels in a special car and num- bers fifty people.

MANY ARE JOINING
 AMERICAN LEGION
Open to All Who Were In Service at
 Home or Abroad

Large numbers of ex-service men are applying for membership in the American Legion, according to G. l.. Bailes, treasurer of the local post.
 MT. Bailes says that an average of six men day are becoming members of the legion Most of them are from the country districts, where there are few posts and where the Americass Legion Is little known.
 These men have peculiar idea that only overseas men are entitled to membership in the American Legion" said Mir. Bailes. This seems to be z. pretty general impression in the cis- tricts where the posts are few. The American Legion is open to every ex- service man, whether he served for a day or several years at home or abroad, provided he can show an hon. olable discharge from the army, navy CT marine corps. There Is no discrim- nation between the men in different branches. The only requisite for mem bership is the discharge from the serv- ice of the country"

 There was very little of this before the war" said Dr. N. A.. Barrett, ''but since the government established the lead. practically every advertising con cern has followed and the result is that the city is one mass of signs and posters"
