flowers for the May festival.
In planning the May party, moth
ing could be more in keeping with
the day than the May Pole lance.
Attach strips of bunting of vatying
colors to the top of the pole. To
unwind the ribbons, the dancTs
must reverse, beginning with the
last to wind her ribbon Oh the pole.
If the day is warm and sunny the

;aining dainty sandwiches made
from the jams and jellics on the
emergency shelf, a small bottle of
grape juice, and cookies with col
ored icing, or Il piece of cake, may
be handed TO each of the children.
Direct thdn to form a circle around
the May Pole to partakc of the
contents of their baskets. Or, Il

ed at the dining table. Peas iE pat

RECITAL GIVEN BY I
WILLIAMS PUPILS
SPLENDID SUCCESS

The Methodist Church auditorium
was filled TO capacity last night to
enjoy the splendid musical concert
given by pupils of Mr.. and Mrs.
Horace Williams.
Each number of the recital was
beautifully rendered and showed
much talent and competent instruc-
tion. The Older pupils give mum
bers which were unusually difficult
and which showed the result of
careful training.
The younger pupils gave numbers
which were equally as difficult for
their age and practice, showing the
future that lies ahead of many of
them if they will continue to de-
vclop their talent.
Violin solos were rendered by
Wesley DELAY, Paul Cook, Willis
Carey, Homer Buck, Given Gwyn
and Vivian Moffat. Willis Carey,
one of the older pupils, was espe-
cially well received when he rem
dered the difficult 9th Air
Vaire" by DeBeriot, with gave him
ample opportunity to display the
talent he possesses as violinist.
Piano solos were given by Bobby
Reynolds, Margaret Hill, Mary
Louise Hockett and Elizabeth
Bromley. Each of these numbers
was excellently given and "Ada,
gio- and Scherzando - by Kuhlau,
played by Mary Louise Hoekett
showed unusual talent for such a
young pupil.
The clarinet solos by Robert An.
derson, Albert De Vore and Pier
pont Walker were also splendid.
rendered. The number given by Al
bert loa Wore demonstrated that
young man s unusual musical abil-
ity.
The saxophone solos by G
Hausman and Dolphin Difani, the
cornct solo by Ben Davies and the
trombone solo were also well given.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams each re-
ceived showers of compliments upon
the success of the recital and many
who attended the concert last
night are looking forward with an
ticipation to the second recital by
other pupils of the Williams stu
dio, which is to be given in about
two weeks.

man women who are credited with
electing Marshal Won Hindcnburg
are not TO be blamed; their Amcri-
can sisters, under the same circum-
stances, probably would have done
the same, women leaders told the
United Press today.
Mrs. Borden Hartman, prominent
war worker. said she regretted that
German women, newly enfranchis-
ed, had joined with the men in
electing the former war lord.
But the women are not to be
blamed, - she said. II only hope
that further use the ballot viii
convince them of the value of a
Democratic form of government. y
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, inter
nationally known as a suffrage lead
er, refused TO admit the German wO-
men were responsible for the elce-
tion of Hindenburg.
THE ballot was secret and no
one knows how they stood, she
said. 1.-The women were no more
responsible than the men.
