DECORATE ON DECORATION DAY
A  TIMELY DESCRIPTION OF A SIMPLE AND ATTRACTIVE DECORATION FOR MEMORIAL DAY
Every Merchant Should Have Windows Decorated on Memorial Day May 30
HAVING fflS TORTUNE' TOLD
In furnishing our merchants with an article on "How to construct their window background.^" tor Memorial Day. Memorial Day is the, ne.\l event that will need tho attention ot the  window  display  department.
Tlie world war lias now passed into history and America's partici¬ pation in it was ot such a nature that there is hardly a comirunity in this land that did not suffer the loss of somo ot its young me'h.
Tills will mean that tor some years to come there will probably bu very active participation iu Memor¬ ial Day services by an cleni.ent that paid very little attemion to this day previous to the year  lit 17.
The American Legion is now very extensively organized which will cean active organization in tho coianiunity that will enter Into Memorial Day activities in co-oper¬ ation with the G. A. R.
We, therefore, teel that because of this renewed interest in tho day, the loc.il merchant can very profitably recognize this event in his show windows and in many cases by decorating his store exterior in' a patriotic manner.
A very simple and practical de¬ coration, our idea being to keep it of such a nature that an>o-ne around the store can very easily install same.
In the back-ground are tv/o panels cut out of wallboard with top shap¬ ed like the top ot a star, thore being a wallboard  at  the     lett  the     year
1)-G1, the date ot the Civil War, and a wallbcard panel at the right the year 1917, the date of our entrance into the last war.
Part ot the panel in black to be covered with dark blue or other cloth or paper. A star to be of v.hite or silver cardboard.
Tho shield in the center of the window can bo cut out of wallboard and painted in the red, wliite and blu'j colors. This shield v,-ill look espocially well it su.iponded wjth heavy silk cords in red and blue. A sign on the center of the shield should read "Decoration Day."
This setting of three pieces will fit in any size window and car. be plac¬ ed in front of any backgronnd you may have.
Each one of the three decoration pieces can be made in your work room and can be placed in your win¬ dow in a tew minutes. This inakes possible a guick change.
Caro should be taken not to get too much red. white and blue color¬ ing in tho window as this will make it rather messy looking.
Most of tlie background is in plain white which will serve as the best possible kind of a background i.gainst which to show the goods in your window.
An additional idea in connection with thie display would be to make an interesting exhibit in your window (,f trophies from either one or both ot the wars.

A brass qutirtetlo composed of Messrs. Miller and Stocker, trum¬ pets; Kreidler, Freucii horn, aud 'liein, trombone, was an innovation in the program. They rendered "Caiupaiiiola" by Julius Lang, and •¦Ada.!;iii" by Schubert, in good form, 'llius showing great possiblities tor next   season.
A quartette composed ot Miss Muriel Danner, pianist, Messrs, Thaeler and Bahnson, violinists, and Walters, 'cellist, rendered two sel¬ ections, "Orientale" by Cesar Cul, and "Serenade" by Widor. These two numbers were ot the best in¬ strumental numbers ot the evening. Short, but introducing exquisite little melodies, they are sure to moot tho approval ot any tituslcal audience. This was Misa Dauner's and Mr. Bahnson's lirst appearance with tho club. Miss Danner is a student of Mr. Shields, whose organ recital under tbe auspices ot the club met with great favor In our musical circle.

Many Hamburg citizens will at¬ tend the trial. John B. Stevens, ot Reading is attorney tor Rev. Druck¬ enmlller, and C. H. Ruhl Is counsel for  the  defendant.
It has long been my contention tha,. Jack Stansbury is one ot the most dependable men in the pinches that Pat Newnam has. At least eight times otit of ten Jack delivers when called upon in a pincn. Ot course. I do not say that Stansbury never tails in a pinch. That would be tool- ibh, for he does tail. But as a cer¬ tain business man ot the city re¬ marked last night, "I had just as soon see Jack Stansbury at the bat in a pinch as any other man on the Exporters' team." That business man spoke my sentiments, exactly. In the sixth inning ot yesterday's game. Jack was called upon in a pinch. He had gone hitless the day before. When lie stepped to the plate the bases were jammed. A hit: meant a run, and maybe a run meant the game. Then Jack, after looking the flrst over, located the right ono ' and sent a stinging single to left which scored ¦^'haling and Jacobus and set DeMaggio in a position to score when Glenn threw wild to first. That's delivering, and that's wliat I claim Stansbury does the majority of times.
It isn't luck with Stansbury. .lack has been playing the old g.im.- t.io long to allow us to Imagine that tli.-

e'ement of luck enters into every de¬ livery. It was that sort of playing that made Stansbury so valui^ble to the LouiSTiUe Colonels when I flrst knew him. And that's the sort of ¦¦' thing that enabled him lo serve in Babe Ruth position in the garden when a member ot the Red Sox. And it's that sort of a thing that maket him 'so valuable to Pat New¬ nam.
And there isn't a member ot New-| nam's  squad   that  begrudges   Stans-' bury  bis ability    to deliver.       He's' gentleman on the fleld, and the same oft.
