of Activities
1000 TO TAKE PART

With more than 1000 persons in
costumes taking part. one of the
largest pageants ever given in the
history of the National Capital will
be staged by the employees of the
War Risk Bureau in the audIroriunr
Of the Central High School May 10.
There will be hundreds of partic-
ipants on the stage at one time,
and the costuming will represent
the native dress of almost every
nation of the world. Mrs. Marie
Moore Forrest, who has a national
reputation as a director and artist
in pageantry, will personally d.
rect the production.
Story of Bureau to he shown.
The purpose is to portray the
story of this bureau which touches
the lives of probably more Ameri-
can citizens than any other, from
the time it started in A little dark
basement room of the Treasury
Department until the present. when
the largest public building in the
Capital is required to house its 10,-
900 workers.
One of, the scenes depicted will
be built around the story OF Ma
rine Insurance.
A picturesque scene will be that
of the first 250.000 regulars. 1t will
show these khaki-clad Americans
debarking at Bordeaux. surrounded
by soldiers of the Allies and pic
turesque natives, many of whom.
from the southern provinces. have
not changed the style of their cos
tune for centuries.
Other scenes will show the work
of the War Risk in France. This
work of the overseas section of the
War Risk will serve to emphasize
the great humanitarian nature of
the bureau, when policies were
written for thousands of dollars on
the lives of men whom no private
company would have considered
proper subjects of insurance.
Wonderful pictures will also be
built around the early history OF
the Bureau in Washington.
Later there will be tableaux de-
picting the machinery installed to
forward the work. These will show
great batteries of addressographs
and check-writing machines. work
ing to get out the compensation.

ium notices to millions of service
