COMBINED BANDS
HEARD BY 5000
Army, Navy and Marine Mu-
sicians Play for Benefit
of Radio Fund.

| A grand rhythmic volume of the
productions of the worlds greatest
| composers, interspersed with stirring
| martial airs, poured from the Clark
Griffith Stadium for two hours yester-
day afternoon as the combined Army,
Navy and Marine Bands of 210 pieces
played as they never have before to
raise sufficient funds to install radio
receiving apparatus in every hospital,
charitable institution and orphan asy-
lum in the District. 1t was perhaps
the most pretentious musical enter
ta1nment ever given by the three ia
nous service bands, and was heard by
more than 5000 persons. who. through
their presence aided the radio fund
committee toward it's $4,000 goal.
Although only six numbers were
scheduled on the original program of
the massed bands, more than a dozen
were played in response to the tu-
multuous applause of the throng. Re
peatedly the musicians were forced
TO rise in acknowledgment of the
protracted plaudits.
"Roxie, Star Sings.
Through the courtesy of S. L. Roth
afel, better known as "Roxie," Wee
Willie" Robyn, "Caruso" of the Capt.
tol Theater gang" of radio artists,
appeared on the program as an added
attraction. The diminutive tenor
sang with intense feeling, Dear Old
Pal of Nine" and a battery of am
pliners carried his strong voice
throughout the ball park and it
echoed against the billboards in
rightfield. A touch of pathos was
given to the singers rendition by
the presence of Guy 3. Pendleton, a
lesieSS war veteran, who sat in. a
"heeI chair facing the crowd in the
grandstand. Through his constant
singing of the same song, Pendleton
has cheered his respondent fellow
patients at Walter Reed Hospital.

the throng with Mother Machree,"
and marched around the base ball dia-
mond pushing the legless veteran
ahead of him.
Uniforms COIorfuI.
Massed just inside the infield
boundary of the base ball diamond
facing the grandstand, the trio of
service bands, presented a pictur-
esque sight. The 210 instruments,
despite the absence of the |
sun, blended in perfect harmony with |
the natty uniforms of the musicians |
and the verdant background. The |
new gray and white uniforms of the |
Army Band musicians added ma
terlally to the colorfuI setting. A |
touch OF pathos was given to this |
respondent picture, however, through |
the presence of manned war veterans [
and cripples who slowly manipulated t

the purpose of the concert.

WALES IS LIKELY
TO PROLONG STAY
Pleasure Derived From Iona
Island Associations May
Delay Departure.

BY the Associated Press.


SfOSSET, n. Y, September IL
The Prince of Wales is having so
much fun on his American holiday
that he may prolong his stay on Long
Island. Although his departure for
MS ranch in Alberta, Canada, tenta-
lively has been set for next Thursday
night, members of the royal party
said today that he might again
change his mind and put in a few
more days of holiday play. He has
had a little more peace lately, for he
has been more fortunate in lodging
the curious crowds.
Since the large and formal social
affairs fixed in his honor are virtually
over and his program remains empty
save for informal dinners arranged
on short notice, it is understood that
the prince wants to go his way with
as little publicity as possible. His
movements in the last "a hours have
not been revealed with the usual def
niteness, and members of his staff ex-
planned that he had not told them
where he has gone. No announce
nent of his plans have come from his
holiday home at the James A. Burden
estate in the last day and night, save
the information that Wales would at
tend a small dinner party tonight at
the home of Rodman Wanamaker
I'd, at Oyster Bay.
Pony ns Gift to Miss Guest.
The prince has given Ashby. one
of his finest polo ponies. to Miss Diana
Guest, daughter of the Right Hon.
Frederick f. Guest, a polo player and
friend of the royal family. Capt.
Guest, whose home is at Wheatly
Hills. married an American girl. Ash
by formerly belonged to Lord VIM
borne, Capt. Guests brother.
it also was announced today that
the princes remaining polo ponies
would be sold at auction after the
royal visitor had gone to Canada. His
trip to South Africa next spring and
lis intervening engagements will
keep polo playing off his program for
year or more, it was said.

by an intruder who climbed the fence |

prince is prepared to enjoy himself |
quietly during the concluding days of |
his visit to the United States. The |
prince was away from the Bur
don home, where he is living while |
in this country. when man entered
the gate last night and announced
that he wanted to see the royal visi-
tor ION personal business"
State troopers stopped the man, and
after searching him for weapons, es-
corted him from the grounds. The in
truder, who said he formerly was a
Canadian soldisf, made no resistance.
An hour later another trooper on
guard in the rear of the Burden
home saw a figure moving among the
gloom in the trees and bushes. When
the trooper ran to the scene he found
the man to be the same who had
earlier entered by the gate. He had
climbed the fence at distance from
The front gate and had started for
the house again. Finally, the Staate
troopers put him on a train for New
York. They were convinced he was

BLAMES DISEASE
ON WRONG LIVING
Rev. Dr.. Dudley Declares
Failure to Obey Divine Laws
Cause of Sickness.

| Disease is the result of civilization
deliberately disobeying the laws of
God-the laws of proper living-Rev
Dr q. +. Dudley. rector of ST.
Stephens Episcopal Church. told
delegates to the annual conference
or the Society of the Nazarene. which
opened its initial business session in
trinity Diocesan Church. Third and
Z streets northwest. today.
DR.. Dudley spoke to the tonic The
Divine Source of Healing-God" At
the outset he pointed out that God
is the source of all things; that
whatever there is in this world origi-
nally came from the Creator But the
ABUSE OF some of those intended
blessings, he asserted, has resulted
In a harvest of by products that bring
pain to mankind.
God never intended that we should
be SICK, the speaker said, no more
than He intended that we should be
sinners And it is to God that we
must look for relief. In Christian
healing He is all in all. Without
God We can do nothing, but with Him
nothing is impossible"
Delegates Come From Far.
The conference opened under the
most auspicious circumstances. While
the number of accredited delegates is
not large, many parts of the country
are represented at the sessions now.
and 1t is expected that many more
Will arrive in the city before the ses-
sions end Friday. Virtually all Epis-
copa1 churches are participating
One of the features of the confer
ence is the fact that a number of
healing services will be held in the
evening during the period of it's meet
ing. At these many men and women
afflicted with the ills of mankind may
seek renewed health or Improvement
through the invocation of Divine as
sistance.
1t is possible that one such service
may be held tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock for the benefit of elderly
men and women who dare not ven
ture out at night or for invalids
whose weakened condition forbids
them leaving home after dark. Scores
OF requests for such a service have
been received and it was announced
that If a sufficient number of clergy
men can be found to properly CON
duct it definite announcement that
the service will be held will be made
tonight.
Healing Service Tonight.
A regular healing service will he

service for children will be held one
afternoon during the week Persons
OF all denominations are welcome at
these services, at which remarkable
results have been reported from

Confident that the number of tickets
sold for the concert would not furnish
sufficient funds to purchase the neces-
sary radio apparatus for all of the in

dience to put cash contributions in
large envelopes, which uniformed

Marks appeal. but the fund, in Mr..
Marks opinion, was still far from it's

Again Mr.. Mark at the close of the
concert admonished the crowd that
more money was needed. Rev. George
F. Dudley, rector of ST. Stephens Epis-
copal Church, pronounced the benedic-
tion, and Mr.. Mark urged all those in
the audience who would like to con-
