1,150 MEN DINED

BY WAR MOTHERS; EXPRESS FEELING Service Men Enjoy Big "Feed" at Coliseum Judge Springer Makes Address. Wayne county's War Mothers celebrated the return of the county's service men at the Coliseum Saturday evening in a most pleasing manner. Eleven hundren and fifty former soldiers, sailors and marines were filled with chicken, potatoes, pie, cake and every other kind, of dish that only mothers can make and serve. At the same time, the service men paid a high tribute to the War Mothers of the county, who had so faithfully worked in the interests of the men during the war, and who have been constantly working in their behalf since their return. Not one of the men who enjoyed the magnificent dinner served at the Coliseum failed to express his appre- . elation for the work of the War Mothers in their efforts to serve the men, and many words of praise were spoken for the dinner. Strayer Expresses Feeling. The feeling of the men was expressed by Frank Strayer, president of Harry Ray poBt, American legion, in introducing Mrs. A. W. Roach, head of the county organization. "No man has words enough in his .vocabulary to express the appreciation and regard that we have for the War Mothers of Wayne county," Mr. Strayer said. Mrs. Roach then gave a short address in which she outlined the work of the association during the last two and a half years, and introduced the other officers of the association, including Mrs. R. P. Whisler, secretary of the association, who had charge of the reservations for the celebration, and Mrs. M. F. Warfel, who had charge of the preparation of the food. Ai each of the officers were introduced, the service men responded with loud applause. The principal adress of the celebration was given by Judge Rayjnond Springer, of Connersville. head of the Indiana branch American legion. Judga Springer spoke of the work of the American legion during the latter part of the period the American army was in France, and of its plans for the future. Purely Civilian. "The American legion is purely a civilian organization." lie said, "it stands for religious tolerance, and for policies, not politics." He urged everyone of the service men to affiliate himself with the organization, which is the only organization of its kind authorized by congress. Many of the service men present filled application blanks for membership In the legion, which were placed at each place on the table. The Coliseum was decorated with American flags, colored lanterns and Japanese umbrellas. Baskets of flowers were arranged on the long tables, and each of the service men at the dinner was given a flower. During the meal a number of selections were played by the Richmond City band.

Sixteenth and Mam Recommendations for a streetlight at the corner of Sixteenth and Main win be made by Coroner S. Edgar Bond. Many citizens support the coroner's request,. aa the corner is a dark one, Another recommendations refers to the position of the traffic standard which is now "anchored" in the mid die of Main street. The coroner will ask that it be moved directly north on line in the center of North Six teenth until it intersects a line drawn even with the north curb of Main street.

IMPORTANT MUSIC SEASON FORECAST FOR CITY WINTER

With a flourishing forecasting an interesting season, Richmond has made its 1919-1920 debut and started down the path of a predicted season of brilliance. Already devotees of the Muses are looking expectantly toward the next events, some of which are not far off. The Edison recital at the Washington Theater was the first event of the promising season. This clever exhibition of the art of re-creation, together with a charming recital by Edison artists themselves who displayed combination work with the machine, was largely attended. , Lieutenant John Philip Sousa and his band at the Murray Theater last Saturday afternoon played thfr opening concert of the season, and were, thoroughly appreciated. Concerts are Coming. But coming are other things. The Weisbrod Company is bringing a series of concerts, and the music department of Earlham college has announced several attractions to be brought to Richmond. These courses are requiring attention of a large number of music lovers. Both courses will be well patronized, it is thought. The appearance of John Quait here on October 30th under the. sponsorship of the music department of the Women's Departmental Club, will probably be one of the first one -man attractions. Quait has been gaining an immense amount of prestige during the past two years, and his concert is heralded as an event of importance. Gossip has it that the Bostonian Sextette, replete with its winter personnel and its soloist, Miss Louise Reynolds, known across the continent as a charming soprano, is being tempted to play a winter engagement here. The Bostonians are known in Richmond, as they charmed hundreds of people at this season's chautauqua, and their appearance, if they come, will be a delight to their numerous friends. So the season will swing around bringing more good things as it ebbs, and making itself noteworthy for an unusual number of things musical. COLONEL HOUSE COMING HOME.

PERFORMANCE OF SOUSA'S BAND IS FULL OF CHARM

John Philip Sousa's band, in Richmond Saturday afternoon, are the very perfection of ensemble players and know how to dig deep into the hearts of their audience. . The band played many things, from the overture from Mignon, "The Crafty Villain and the Timid Maid"; one of a suite entitled "Impressions at the Movies," and played them all well. Individual praise rests upon the head of Frank Simon, for solo work on his cornet. Simons played as sweetly, as ringingly as could a violinist, and he reached some enviable tones. Being a true artist he chose a very charming number of his own, "Willows Echoes," for his solo, and when recalled played "Beneath Thy Window" equally effectively. Sousa's Own Compositions. Miss Mary Baker, soprano, and Lewis P. Fritze. flutist, played "Thou Brilliant Bird," Mysioli's song from the "Pearl of Brazil". Miss Baker "has a warm. Mellow voice, but should content herself with less ambitious tone reaches. Fritze's part was mostly obligato, but was well done. Miss Baker's encore was "Robin, Robin, Sing Me a Song. Miss Florence Hardman played a typical Vieuxtemps concerto. She fingered her tones well. "To a Wild Rose" was her encore. Interesting are Sousa's own compositions, and the audience was favored with several, including "Impressions at the Movies," "The Golden Star," a recent manuscript dedicated to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, in memory of the men who gave their lives
