For Music L0veys
With the idea of being of greater service to you in the
selection Of your record library, our Mrs. B.. F. Klein
has just returned from Omaha where she has spent an
entire week specializing under an expert from the Vic
tor talking Machine factory, in the study Of musical
appreciation.
IF your Victrola has been idle, or does not give you the
enjoyment that it did when you first placed it in your
home, it is because your selection of records has not
been of the kind which endure.
We offer you an entirely new plan of record selection,
known'as the program plan. In this way you can
have Victor entertainment Of a nature similar to the
concerts which you attend at a theater. The pro-
gram plan has been introduced in the east, and we
are delighted to offer this service to our customers.
We hope you will call at an early date and let our Mrs.
kleln explain this plan to you. We feel sure we can
increase your pleasure in owning a Victrola.
Keep this in mind: VictroIas and Victor Records
pay no dividends on the money INFESTED in them
Save when the needle is in motion. In other
words, there is no pleasure in .onning a Victrola
and a library OF Victor Records unless you play
them.

Many Thousands in Parade
Of Mobiles on Road to Mecca
Beneath Canopy of Millions of Brilliant
Electric Lights Throngs Cheer in Fare
,veU to Shriners' 1923 Convention.

The road to Mecca was the thorough
fare of the world last night, 1t seemed,
as more than 100000 men, women and
children danced. sang and cheered
their farewell to the forty-ninth an
nual convention of the Ancient Arabic
Order, Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
Beneath canopy of million sparkling
electric bulbs that shed a curtain of
golden light upon the gay scene, the
greatest crowd Washington has ever
seen surged up and down Pennsylvania
avenue.
1t was fitting climax to the great
est conclaye the Shrine had ever
known. and. perhaps. the greatest scene
even the National Capital of America
will ever witness. Entitled the Dance
Of the States" the occasion might more
MT nttlngiy have been called the Dance of
eVerS eVfzed eountry nj y IN the TO word Rs
represented there some time before the
last revelers struggled reluctantly
homeward scarcely before the first
messengers of dawn streaked the east
ern sky.
Formally Ends at Midnight.
The convention of the Mystic Shrine
came to a formal end exactly at mid
niSnt, When choruS one mile long
sang America" and the great throng
along the road to Mecca took up the
strain and literally shattered the at
mosphere as the voices rose In a great
wave over the whole scene. But that
did not end the carnival by any means
for the thousands who did go home at
midnight barely made dent In the
Jam of dancing merry makers.
1t was just about 10 o'clock when
the last division of the parade disap-
peared around the corner of 18TH
street. A moment later the steel ropes

of humanity surged upon the avenue
between 11th street and 14th street.
thousands Swarmed under them and
many followed the end of the process
sion through the Garden of Allah.
Great Crash HeraIds Fireworks.
At that moment a tremendous crash
reverberated over the city and the
heavens around Washington monu-
ment seemed to burst into flames. 1t
event-the greatest display of iire-
works ever seen in this part of the
country, at least. For more than an
hour the sky was stabbed BY showers
from the sky rockets and the air
fairly shattered by the crash of
aerial bombs. From the White House
grounds the sight was inspiring. The
lighted finger of Washington Monu-
ment barely pierced the cloud of
Almost s" eVery y color of the 'H rtinboM 'sa as
rocket after rocket exploded.
Meanwhile the amplifiers had begun
the dance from the Peace monument
the Garden OF Allah. At first the
crowd was so dense it seemed impos-
sible for any one even to attempt a
dance. Finally circles were formed
and in these thousands of couples
stepped TO nearly every variety OF
tune from the Virginia reel to jazz
number like That Red-Headed Gal
of Mine" The spectacle was simply
intoxicatin and intrigued the most
rctfcent to join in the carnival spirit
that reigned supreme.
Shriners without girl friends in
Washington had no difficulty finding
partners to dance with, and for once
there was not wallfiower to be
seen. Any girl who wanted to dance
had plenty of willing partners. But

Commerce Department Reports
Doubling Of Values Over
Same Month Year Ago.

Increases in the imports from South
America were particularly notable
during April, according to analysis
of the foreign trade situation made
public today by the Commerce De-
paftment. While all parts of the world
increased shipments to the United
States and participated in building up
the months total of imports to a
point at which the trade balance
swung against this country. the South
American commodities were more
than double in value over April a
year ago.
The increases in shipments from
Europe and North America outside
or the United States We're markedly
heavy. although the proportion of
advance was not quite so great as In
the case of South America.

the outstanding feature of this part
of the celebration was the lack of
any disorder or boisterousnesS The
police declared the crowd to have
been the best behaved they ever saw,
and not once was it necessary for
fact. the officers seemed to be lost in
the jam.
Once. soon after the dancing

girls could frolic to their hearts con-
