band of Italian instrumentalists ap-
peared low down in the program
Their ensembles, solos. duets. trios
and quartets, combining a variety Of
instruments, won the heartiest ap-

sprightly musical numbers Tor which
the Italians are famous. and foremost
among them was a frai1 little woman

MRS. EPPINGER
DELEGATE TO
CONVENTION
Made Chairman of Jewish
Delegation to Den
VeE

Mrs. NJ. Eppinger has been appoint
ed chairman of the delegation of
leading Jews of this city who are ex-
pected to attend the Subscribers
Convention Of the National Jewish
Hospital for Consumptives which will
be held at the institution in Denver
on June 22nd. Thousands Of leading
Jews from all over the United States
will participate in this unique affair,
which has been arranged in order to
give the hosts of men and women
all over the country an opportunity
to participate in the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the founding Of this in
stitution and get first-hand concep-
tion Of it's magnitude. In the quar-
ter century Of it's existence, the Ma
ton Hospital, the first free hospital
in the United States for the care of
tubercular poor, has grown from a
modest affair housing sixty.four pa
tients, to an institution with twelve
modern. buildings, covering vast
acreage.
In announcing the appointment OF
the chairman of this city's delega-
ton to this novel convention, Mr..
Nanny Strauss, chairman Of the Sah-
scribers' Committee said:
1.-THE responses that are coming in
from the fifty thousand invitations
we have sent out for IS unique son-
vention indicates that Denver will, on
June 22nd, be the rallying place for
one of the largest Jewish gatherings
in the history of this country. The
National Jewish Hospital for Con-
sumptives has won special place
in the hearts Of it's supporters. They
know it not as a place to which the
miserable victim of civilization s
greatest scourge sinks off to die, but
as an institution where the victim of
tuberculosis is given every possible
scientific reinforcement in an effort
to win back to health. And in the
hearts of its supporters there is the
hope that out of the National hOspi-
tai may come the method by which
tuberculosis may be cured just as
typhoid and diabetes are now cured.
That would be a great contribution to
the progress Of humanity.
