•LICHT OVERCOAT’ Will Be Needed by Those Attending the Democratic National Convention. FIRST IN HISTORY Warning Sent to Visitors to Bring Light Overcoats and Furs Along. (United Press Service) | San Francisco, June 9.—The demoI era tic National convention to ho held ■ tore beginning June 28 will be the 'first "light overcoat” national conj .cation in history. Convention crowds, instead of wearHing "ice cream" suits and Jiglit sum|!.ner dresses made necessary by the | heat of the conventional convention i -ity on all other occasions, will wear overcoats: ami furs It they wish to be comfortable. The warning was sent out to convention visitors today to briqg the Hight overcoat .and tiie fur along. This j.s not because bad weather is ex | pected. but because such garments I are in order in San Francisco on any 1 normal day throughout the year. San Franciscq’s i-iny season will be I definitely over before the convention starts, and sunny weather, with just ifog enough to be Interesting, can prac Itically be promised. The fact that I there will be plenty of sunshine, bu’ I ,o torrid heat is expected to make | this convention stand out as unique. San Francisco’s weather and natural setting on the ocean, within close touch of many beauty spots, are going to be utilized by the entertainment I committee in order that delegates and I visitors ntjay look back upon their I trip here with pleasure. Ocean and bay trips are being arranged. Parties will be taken to Mount Tamalpais ami Muir woods, the forest of gigantic . Redwood trees across the bay. Ships of the Pacific fleet in the harbor will be open to visitors. The local committee has been assured that the round-trip rate of the one-way fare, plus one-third, will be obtained for all those from the east. The democratic national committee, because of the long haul across the Rockies, asked San Francisco to give $125,000, instead of the regulation SIOO,OOO asked of convention cities in years past. It wgs estimated that it would eost the party $25,000 additional in preparation w-ork. This is the first national party convention ever held this side of the Rockies. Had a Fine Time (Continued from page one) the entertainment. They conducted a Bible contest in which the teacher of the class proved his great knowledge of the Bible by answering the largest number of the questions and for hit, efficiency was given a present of treat intrinsic value. That present was one fine, large potato. After this contest M. E. Hower gave a very interesting account of “Decatur Twentyfive Years ago,” O. L. Vance told of j "Decatur at the Present” and D. N. Erwin drew upon the imagination by itelling of "Decatur Twenty-Five i Hence.” These men were fully quali fled to treat their subjects. To close the evening the entertaining commit- : tee treated the whole crowd to straw berry short-cake, and ice cream and .cake. It was the general supposition that R. H. White and his good wife furnished the straw berry short-cake and the fine milk that went with it. and the rest of the committee furnished the ice cream and cake. It was a ijreat evening and the men went to their homes feeling that such meet ings are very conducive to good fellowship and helpful to the church. The next regular meeting will be in charge of Leigh Bowen and his committee. Look out for July.
