GRAND ARMY TO
BRING 100000
May House Visitors m Public
School Buildings.

More than 100 reunions OF various Or
ixanixations win be held when the annual
national encampment Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic and allied organizations
comes to Indianapolis Sept 10 to 20.
The encampment, 1t Is believed, will
bring 100000 persons to Indianapolis,
many of whom viii be veterans OF the
Civil war and their families.
It Is thought the encamPment this year
win be among the last.
The ranks Of the Grand Army are
growing thtRaer every year. and, al
though an unusually large attendance is
expected, less G. A. r. men viii be here
than were at encampments in the past,
prcbably.
The reunions win be held In various
parts of the city and will include regi-
mental. battalion and company reunions
of men who come together only once
every year, men old and feeble, to re-
count experiences Of fifty years ago.
Edward a. Kahn, chairman of the
executive committee, said today that the
committee VIII ask the board Of school
commissioners for authority to house
persons in public school buildings dur
ing the encampment.
II the request is granted every school
building in indianapolis probably will be
used for this purpose and school Will be
adjourned for the week.
Even though the request is granted 1t
VIII be necessary to house many per
sons in private homes.
Mr. Kahn also announced today the
appointment of two additional commit
tees that will assist in the work Of pre-
pairing and handling OF the encamp-
ment.
Wallace o. Lee is chairman Of an in
formation committee, and members are
George E. Gill, G. T. Olwin, F. o. Belzer
and MyrOn Green.
John Orman, chairman of the automO-
bile committee and members are Mrs.
Wilbur Johnson, Mrs. Chauneey Dew.
Meier, George \. Crane and F. Ellis
Hunter
The complete organization probably
win be perfected by the early part OF
next week.

not to be greedy If the candy belongs to
somebody else, and not to be selfish If
It Is yours.
That's the whole case in nutshell
So If somebody opens box of candy
in your presence and passes II to you,
you naturally take but one piece. If the
possessor of the candy places 1t, open, on
a table, and says help yourself, you help
yourself very charity. One or two pieces
more are all that you really would take
without further invitation.
TO eat half the contents of the box,
as some persons do, would be the height
Of rudenesS.
And, on the other side of the ques-
ton, if you have a box of candy, you
should generously open it and pass it TO
your guests.
Candy is a passing joy, anyway, and If
you keep the box unopened and eat it all
yourself. you will quite likely suffer a
headache for your selfish indiscretiOn.
If a young man brings young woman
a box Of candy when he calls on her. 1t
is customary for her to open 1t immed-
lately and pass 1t to him-and to any
body else who may be in the ROOM
