The great Shrine pageant is now

The Washington Times Boys Band
will remain for many day in the
memories of the crowds that lined
the curbs on Pennsylvania avenue
today.
All of the band music was excel

came in for its share of the ap-

The Washington Times band swung
along the avenue to the, stirring
strains of Hot Time in the Old

wild.
In the Garden of Allah the ap-
plause was tremendous. The young
sters never played better. It seemed
as il they were inspired to do great
work by the appreciative audience.
L. z. Phillips, who has trained
these carrier boys in nine months
was the recipient OF many compli-

LONDON. juno s.-Shipptng ex-

a solution OF the problem whether
the White Star liner Majestic or

The Majestic Is six feet longer

Shipping Line contends that this
extra six inches along the $50 feet

DEMAND FOR ELECTRIC
WASHERS GROWS FAST

And still they comet The very
fact that there ia demand for 30
many different types, sizes and
styles of electric washers should be
proof positive that this. household
convenience has come to stay.
One of the very newest makes of
electric washers is portable, being
only twenty-five inches high and
Weighing only thirty-two pounds.
There are several interesting feat
ures to this particular device.
First, the price is moderate; sec.
ond, it is simply construed; and,
third, it is very easy to operate. In
fact it's charm for many people
would lie in the fact that 1t can be
operated in any stationary tub,
bathtub or boiler on the principle
of forcing the water through the
clothes instead Of the clothes
through the water.

THE DRY RALLY

The great dry rally at u State 5
capitol, on the 18th inst, is some.
thing our legislators will have K
reckon with, for it was made very
plain at the Prohibition and Law En-
forcement Convention, held in the
First NJ. f. Church, of that city, that
there is a very strong sentiment III
New Jersey against any back-dowr
on Prohibition. The drys who crowd
ed the Church made it known that
they want all the existing dry statutes
maintained without impairment of any
kind. They are also against the pro
posed wet referendum.
This dry rally had been arranged by
the New Jersey Anti-Saloon League
to offset the wet celebration in Iren-
ton, on Tuesday, when George Sllzer
was inaugurated as Governor OF our
defled commonwealth.
Our State Corresponding Secre-
tary's paper, the Bergen Record
gives out the glad tidings as follows:
There were thousands at the dry
rally. The men and women came
from all parts of New Jersey. The
enthusiasm was very marked.
Notice was served on the Republl-
can Legislature that it will be eX-
rected to stand true to its bone dry
platform, on which it was elected, ana
defeat all wet bills. W.,
Former Democratic Senator VII
liam C. Gebhardt, accompanied by
Mrs. Gebhardt, who is the long tune
W. c. T. U. president of Hunterdon
County. sat in the parquet OF the
Con;+nI Theatre and heard Governor
Silzer's speech.
At the dry rally, Mr.. Gebhardt said:
7 regret exceedingly that Governor
Silzer made those pleas for the wet
cause. 1t is a hopeless cause. Ihere
is n o chance whatever for the modlh-
cation of the Nolstead act. why
should Mr.. Silzer fan the wet hopes
in such a way? The nation IS dfI
and will stay dry. 1t IS time that
New Jersey Democrats dropped
vet propaganda and faced the truth
and the real facts Mr.. Gebhardt
also referred to I. s. Senator Walter

BIG CHEMICAL SUIT
War ConfiScatiOn of German Patents
To Be Contested

Judge Morris, in the U. S. Federal
Court, in Wilmington, has set April
70 as the date to begin hearings in
the salt instituted by the Government
against the Chemical Foundation. The
Government seeks the return to it of
patents and formulas seized from
various alien-cOntrolled corporations
and turned over to the Chemical
Foundation during the World War.
Colonel Thomas w. Miller, Alien
Property Custodian; Colonel Henry
W.. Anderson, Assistant Attorney
General of the United States, and p.
E. Galloway, special Assistant At
torney General to Wilmington, from
Washington, with special Assistant
Attorney General District Attorney
James H. Hughes, Jr., represented the
Government at the conference. VIM.
g. Mahaffy, local attorney and Lu-
clan H. Boggs and Isador Kressel, of
New York, represented the Founda-
ton.
German formula for making dyes
Were confscated by the Government
during the World War. Much of
such were sold to hinder the dye pat
ehts from being bought back by per-
sons friendly to Germany. Certain
men Incorporated the Chemical Foun-
dation for American dye industries
and bought the patents and leased
them to different companies who use
them as the foundation of their in
dustries.
1t will be remembered that Joseph
5. Frelinghuysen. Senator from New
Jersey, was the only Congressman
who voted against cOnfiscation of
German patents.
By the Government bringing suit
to upset the Chemical Foundation,
President Harding's Attorney General
is acting very p~leasingly to German
interests.
