automobiles in line will be decorated
with red, white and blue. Each
cripple will be given some sort of a
noisemaking device before leaving
this city, so that there can be plenty
of excitement on the trip to the
seashore. Ludwig Wolff has made

member of the delegation with a
gift. This presentation probably will
be made On the day after the out
ing.
