be a notable social as we'll as musi-
cal event. The tickets OF admission
to the conservatories at Mr.. duPont's
home. where the concert will be
given. for the benefit OF the three
Wilmington hospitals. have been
much sought after and have virtual
iy all been taken. The number was
necessarily limited to prevent crowd
Ing and as a consequence each hos
pital had only 700 to dispose OF.
All OF the proceeds OF the sale go
TO the hospitals. for Mr. DUPONT is
paying the band and all expenses
as well as furnishing the beautiful
setting for the concert.
The Musicians Union OF Whining
ton will pay a tribute TO the famous
musicians from Washington by at
tending the concert in large num-
bers. 175 OF the members having Sc
cured tickets for the evening.
With the opening OF the new con-
crete road from Hamorton. 20 the
conservatories. the transportation
problem has been solved. though a
detour over hard roads from Fair
Vile to Chadd's Ford Junction will
be necessary.
The Delaware Rapid Transit Com
pany will make II possible for many
TO attend the concert by running
buses TO Longwood and return for
a dollar for the round trip. The
buses. in number sufficient TO sup
ply the demand. will leave the Elev-
enth street side OF the Hotel dupont
at p. m. and will remain at Long
wood TO bring their passengers back
as soon as the concert ends.
Those who fail TO secure tickets
for the Conservatory. as we'll as the
public at large. will still have an
opportunity TO hear the band for ar
rangements have been made for Il
10 give a public concert Tuesday
afternoon In Rodney Square. The
soloist for the afternoon program
will be Robert r. Clark. trombonist.
a master of his ins rument. which.
in his hands. becomes capable OF
effects ordinarily regarded as en-
ttrely beyond its range Of possibility.
For the evening program the con-
cert soloist Is Arthur s. witcomb.
whose playing recalls 20 the veteran
students Of band music. the per-
formances OF Liberat and Jules
Levy. II Is within the band that
they have done most OF their study.
Leader William II. Santelman
will direct each concert. The pro-
grams include standard compositions
from all nations. but the greatest
ovations II receives are Invariably
extended to the superb arrange
ments OF patriotic American melo-
dies. and. in splendid finale. THE

These cities and towns OF the

not progressive.
They grab new ideas in govern

All Of them. so far as l can find

As for municipal ownership. II has
gone farther up here than any

own their own street car systems.
All own their water systems. and
most OF them their electric lighting
