Convention Aftermath

A handsome sticllpin was presented
Friday to Judge A. B. Moore, retiring
president of the County Commission
ers association. The center stone was
jasper. Judge Moore was deeply i'm
pressed, thanking the individual mem
bers in a short talk that came right
from his heart.
Chairman Neal Ray, the Chamber
of Commerce and the Kiwanis club
wired the publisher of the Atlanta
Georgian, Mr.. Baskerville, to send
W. S. Kirkpatrick to Americas to
cover the sessions for the Georgian.
Mr.. Baskerville very graciously CON
sented and gave Mr. kirkpatrick the
opportunity of coming but because
of special committee work in which
he is engaged in preparing for the
international convention of Kiwanis,,
meeting in Atlanta next week, Kirk
was compelled to decline the oppor-
tunity to visit his many friends here.

The Boys Band, under Conductor
Ross, was on hand at the barbecue
at the A. & NJ. school Friday. The
work of the boys was most gratifying
to all. And the incest part about it
was that they did not wait to be
drafted by the committee. Their pres
ence was voluntary and music rem
dered while the barbecue was being
consumed was splendid, For the time
which they have been in training,
the boys are shown" excellent prog
ress. They played like veterans yes
terday.
Jim Glawson, John France, OFT
johnson, John Ansley and their able
corps Of men, and women assistants
deserve unstinted praise for the
manner in which the barbecue was
handled. Rained in and with only an
hour to change from out of doors to
inside a building, they "pulled off,
a quick change that was a credit TO
them and a source of qualification
to the commissioners. There was suf-
ficient barbecue for 1000. Every
one had all he could consume and the
serving was rapid and smooth.
Carl Williams and his orchestra,
known as the Americus "Tut-Ankh-
Amen Orchestral furnished music at
the luncheon in the Windsor Hotel
Thursday. Their work was Al, pleas
ing all.
Many of the delegates were loud in
their praise of the manner in which
they were received and the handling
of the great crowd by Manager Stu
art F'rather, of the Windsor Hotel
Thursday Manager Prather took per
sonal charge of the dining room,
serving 365 dinners in four separate
rooms. After the guests were al
cared for, he saw that plates were

the men of Americus who acted as
ushers and assisted in seating anC

AS usual Miss Melva Clark anC
Miss Susan Stallings created a storm
of applause as they went from dinina
room +" dinir~ room, singing ans
reading for the delegates.
E~
Rain interfered with serving the
barbecue in the Aggie grove, but the
elements did not prevent number
of pretty Aggie seniors lending their
presence to the occasion. And the
manner in E%shioh they gracefully
served the hundreds of guests reflects
great credit both upon them and the
institution they attend.

The Philadelphia Symphony orches-

program Of the seasons concerts at
the National Theater yesterday after
noon. 1t was bacchanalian in the
sumptuous richness of Its compost

the house to capacity, seemed almost
delirious with enthusiasm by the
time the last scintillating chords OF
"Snegourotchka" came as a hitting
finale to the afternoons program
Both Mr.. Stokowski and Alfredo Ca

sistent applause.
This was, without doubt, the most
attractive and unusual orchestral
program heard in Washington this
season. The program was lnterna-

Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Rus
sian music.
Few of Beethoven's compositions
have the dramatic appeal of the
lovely overture to "Leonore, gener-
ally known as "Overture No. g. which
