MOVE 1T UP TO SUMMER

LIVER since the New Year parade became
~ an established institution in this city
there has been n hope in many minds that
BY some means or other the great display
might be changed from winter to n sum
mer festival.
The association of the mummers parade
with the New Year season is purely acCi-
dental. That it has survived against all the
handicaps of the winter weather Is aston
ishing. The hardships suffered by the
paraders on Monday provided another argu-
ment for the long hoped for change. With
the verve and enthusiasm which the clubs
bring to the annual carnival Of color and
the added advantage Of spring or summer
weather, the parade, already the most in
teresting display of its kind in the world,
would become a spectacle likely to make the
much -hcralded Mardi Grns look like thirty
