DWINDLING RANKS OF G.A.R. PASS IN CLOSING REVIEW OF 66th MEET
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Hoary and bent with the weight of the long years that have passed over them since Appomattox, 700 remnants of the once magnificent Grand Army of the Republic stage their annual reunion march. Tottering nine endless blocks to stirring martial music, while thousands of school children and others line the streets and cheer with tears in their eyes, the aged veterans of '61-'65 are reviewed at Court House Square by their retiring Commander-in-Chief, Samuel P. Town of Philadelphia, and other national officers of the celebrated Civil War association. America's most inspiring and heart-touching event, soon to be enacted no more.
GOVERNMENT ORDERS REINDEER ROUNDUP AS FOOD SUPPLY TO POOR
SKJAAK, Norway -- Indigent Norwegians will fare on steak during the coming winter as the result of a monster deer drive and killing in the Gudbrandsdal Valley. More than 10,000 animals are marked for slaughter from the country's immense herds, and are rapidly transferred into choice cuts, with the less desired parts of the meat made into fox food. The antlered heads are cured and sold for wall decorations and the hides go to make coats. An amazing sight, picturesque and on a grand scale.
GLEEFUL WORKERS HAIL FASHION'S NEW PIPE FAD FOR WOMEN
WEST NEW YORK, N. J. -- Pipe-smoking for women, originating in England, is slated to become popular, according to the prognostications of intrepid pioneers of the sex who are venturing to appear on the streets, in clubs, in offices, on the golf-links and even at hotel roof-gardens with their tobacco pouches and favorite briars. And are the pipe-makers pleased! New effete styles in dudheens are in the making -- light-weight and delicate -- soon to blossom forth in elaborate cigar-store window displays. The female smokestack vanguard say they find this the ideal way to indulge. Maybe it's new, but it might be just a throwback to frontier days, when every "granny" had her corn-cob. Milady Nicotine, with a vengeance!
HISTORIC METROPOLIS HONORS 600th BIRTHDAY OF NATION'S FOUNDING
LUCERNE, Switzerland -- Elaborate pageantry featuring reproductions of ancient lake vessels and thousands of medieval costumes, worn by the descendants of the sturdy mountaineers who forged the Swiss Confederation, residents of this city re-live the stirring scenes that marked the "oath of faith" between the Central cantons in 1332 A.D. The disembarkation of the ships bearing the Uri and Unterwalden delegations are followed by stirring ceremonies in the churches and on the streets. President Motta of the Helvetian confederacy reviews the historic mummers, with his official family and other honor guests.
WILD-EYED FANS GIVE TRIUMPHAL WELCOME TO HOMECOMING "CUBS"
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Headed by Mayor Cermak, local baseball enthusiasts stage a royal celebration for the National League pennant winners. In a gala procession through the Loop district, the happy players perch on the tops of open autos as downtown fandom turns out en masse on the side-walks and in office-building windows to cheer their diamond heroes.
