Chairman Humphrey presided. 102d Band Coming. Arrangements were discussed for the securing of the famous 102d hand consisting of 65 plavers und trumpet- | ers and a naval band, to lead the mili- tary pageant in the parade on Satur- day, September 20. It was also voted at the request of the Daughters .of American Revolution, who will have a float in the parade in Colonial cos- tume, 1o secure a drum corps dressed in Colonial style. The action of the committee shows very clearly that everything is being done to please the service men, and {he various reports at last night's s sion indicate that the service men are fast layving aside iy feeling of discontent that has been in the air for some time. During the report of George Dyson of the committee on deco tions, it was stated that the Connecti- cut company, through Frank FL Beardsley, the local representative, tendered an offer of co-operation. This remark brought forth from John Buckley, a question as to when this offer had been made. Mr. Dyson stated that it was received yesterday afternoon. Mr. Buckley then gave the committee the stand taken by Mr. Beardsley in regard to allowing the committee to use a wagon for the ar- ranging of the flag and electrical de orations, in which the request was re- jected by Beardsley. Mr. Buckley said thal Beardsley had claimed the wagon was in need of repairs. a fact he said was not so. Buckley claimed he had informed Beardsley that on 21 previous oc on he been allowed the vse of the wagon for a nominal sum, to which the trolley representative cnly answered that it “was pretty cheap.” When Mayor Quigley was apprised of the attitude of Beardsley, he immediately com- municated with Ceneral Manager Punderson at New Haven and that of- ficial was indignant over Beardsl action, he said. As Beardsley is member of the general committee, Mr. Buckley said it would be a good plan to drop him from that bedy. In order that the decorations would be arranged in time, Mr. Buckley and William H. Allen had a wagon built to do the work. Memorial Service Plans, Dyson reporting for the memor- 1 service, planned for Sunday, Sep- tember 21, said that Rev. W. A. Cook, Rev. H. W. MaieF, Rev. John T. Win- ters, Rev. J. Leo Sullivan, Professor ¥. 1. Harmon, Joseph C. Beebe, John A. Lindsey and Edward J. Lynch, had been named on the committee to ar- range the programi. Mr. Lindsey has sranged to notify the members of the ew Britain Choral Union to hold a rehearsal of the program to be ren- dered by that body, and Mr. Dyson said that the quartet of the South church may be secured A. P. Marsh, chairman of the committee reported that it was likely that the factories would not have floats in the parade, although this is not definite. Replies he has received from sacieties indicate that most of the organizations in the city will have handsome float displays in the parade. He spoke of the float the D. A. R. arranging and their request for a Colonial drum corps. and said that Mrs. Frank J. Porter and Miss Mary Whittlesey arranging for the dis- play. welcome service men | were meeting of the last of commerc, fast heroes H. Mr. float is are Preparing for Parade. Secretary Sprague reported for W, C. Hungerford, marshal of the parade, and stated that the number of socje- ties to be in the parade must be known before the formatian plan is completed. At the suggestion of Chairman Humphrey, it was arranged for a meeting of the float, parade and music committees tomorrow evening. . Erwin of the lunchean that plans have this important part of celebration. He believed that was a different feeling on the part of the boys, and that it indicated a large crowd at the dinner. The dinne plans call for a full course, under large tent. He urged that all the ad- vice possible be given his committe in regard to the ar ngements. Howard A. Timbrell reported Chairman Harry C. Jackson of amusements committee, that a ing pavilion would cost $2,000 said if the pavilion was made a manent one there was no doubt paying for itselfl. In case of the vilion being only temporary, the sal vage would amount to $400. W. W Hanna stated that a surface once used for roller polo purposes w available in Providence, R. I. could be secured at a much lower cost. Mr. Erwin favaored having a dancing pavilion if possible. It was decided to secure information regarding the sur- face in Providence.

Clifford Tiellberg, a service man, id that the sentiments of the boys was to have the badges mailed to them before the parade. He also said that he believed at least 1,500 service men would participate in the parade. Mr. Brwin, said the jdea of the luncheon committee was to provide a dinner for every service man regardless of whether he took part in the parade or not. Visitors Welcome. Maxwell S. Porter asked to be done regarding local men who enlisted in the service in other cities, and whose names would not be found in the local records. Chairman Humphrey said that a special badge might be arranged for these, and Mr. Erwin added that some plan ought to ranged so that these men would know they were welcome to the luncheon. Chairman Humphrey spoke | in favor of a plan whereby all service men now residing in this city be tendered a welcome to take part | in the celebration. Mr. Marshy said that the uniform would be enough to indicate service, nd Mr. Hellberg 1 added that many of the boys were without uniforms. Mr. Marsh made a motion that all service men be extend- ed an invitation to take part in allt of the celebration, and Postmaster W. F.

There is absolutely no danger in this combination, as the gac range section is as entirely separate from the coal section as if placed in another part of the kitchen. See the Pastry Baking always in sight in the gas e::m aThe most delicate cake can be perfectly baked and watched through the glass paneled door, By using both the coal and gas sections of the top, nine large utensils may be heated at one time. A Large Roast and other baking can be done at the same time in the coal oven. The advantage is plain— Two Ovens give double capacity and allow the cook to com- plete the baking in one half the us- ual time.
