Next Saturday afternoon will be a half-holiday and the entire city will participate in one way or another in the big Red Or ffa William C. Hungerford chairman of the com- mittee on arranging for the pageant, and his associates are Ex-Mayor Jo- M. Halloran, George K. Macat Howard L. Platt, H. S. Tallard nes: Humphrey. The ides a parade is to make it a strictl military and Red Cross affair, and the sign of the Red Cross will predomi- nate everywhere. Mr. Hungerford re- ports that already about 30 factoric: have signified their intention of fur nishing floats symbolizing Red Cross work, and these floats will be followed by gir dressed alike with the Red Cross conspicuous on their costumes. Patriotic Women Will March. The special feature of the parade which will make it more unique than held in the city will be the number of women who will par- ticipate. Mrs. A. C. McKinnie is chair- man of the women's committee, ana today she issued an appeal for every patriotic woman in' New Britain to participate in the monster demonstra- tion. TEvery woman who will respona to this appeal is requested to send in her name to the Red Cross headquar- ters on Court street before Tuesday at 12t AT McKinnie will be there and the names may be telephoned in by calling up the Red Cross headquar- ters—2006-2. The women will wear white with the Red Cross on their cos- tumes. There is no age limit whatever upon the women who will participate the only qualification being that every patriotic woman is invited to turn out. { All names must be in by Tuesday noon, as it is necessary to report to Chair- man Hungerford the number of wom- en who can be depended upon to show their patriotism in this fashion. e for Best ¥loat.

The pimples were red and came to a head making me look awful. They itched so that when I scratchedthey got 80 hard and red I could not sleep with the pain. “I had the trouble for most two years before I used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment, and after using three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one fifty~cent box of Cuticura Ointment I was healed.”” (Signed) Miss Agnes Haleks, Pleasant View Ave., Bristol, Conn., Oct. 5, '17.

Principal Slade of the High school hae charge of the school division, aund counts on having at least three | (housand girls in line. The idea is to have this parade staged with little expense ag possible and most of the bands of the city have shown {heir patriotism by announcing their intentons of turning out free of charge. Chairman Hungerford has sppointed Lieutenant.Colonel A. L. Thompson to act as grand marshal of 1he parade, and he will name his deputies and announce the line of march together with the other de- tails in the course of a day or two. It is the idea of having the parade form on Franklin Square and be dis- missed on Walnut Hill park instead of on Main street customary in the past. The Walnut Hill park ren- dezvous is an original idea with Mr liungerford, and it will, beyond & doubt, set a precedent for future | parades. People will have a chance | 1o enjoy themselves in the park and ihe floats will parade around the paik drive so as to give all the! marchers a chance to view the dis- | pley. The judges will also have an opportunity to award the prizes from {he reviewing stand. It is also pro- d to have the concert by the s in the park, continue an hour or so after the close of the parade, 50 ‘hat the people will have the oppor funity to enjoy themselves to their lLieart’s content during the rest of the | fiernoon on New Britain’s largest blic playground. its girl as as WANTS TO BE LAWYER obert ..
