WATER WAGONS IN PARADE

Louisville Catholics Try an Innova--tlon Which Works Well on a Hot Day. Louisville, Ky.—An innovation in parades was started here when 24 watqr wagons were scattered at intervals in the pageant of the American. Federation of Catholic societies. The wagons provided with distilled water and individual drinking cups, In which water, boys carried drafts to participants and spectators. On account of the intense heat many of the marchers took advantage of the water supply to keep wet handkerchiefs on their foreheads. Even these precautions did not prevent several heat prostrations among marchers and participants.
