next morning Presidential and State
returns will be flashed upon a screen
at intervals of fifteen minutes Be

dance. In the boxes will be tables for
those who may prefer to learn Of the
fate of the League of Nations while
they satisfy the inner man and woman.
An orchestra OF twenty-eight win fur

dollars Will flow into the treasury OF
the community centre. Some hundreds
