Municipal day will be •observed Tuesday. Wednesday will be industrial day, with what promises to be the largest Industrial parade ever witnessed in the United States, the mighty climax of the week will be the historical pageant on Friday, with forty magnificent floats and 5, 000 characters shown. The pageant will depict the entire history of Phil adelphia, from the time William Penn made his first voyage to this country in December, 1692, in the good ship "Welcome." The glorious pageant will in great measure be an ilustration of the ar tistic genius of a woman, Miss Violet Oakley, in whose clever brain the plans for most of the various floats found their conception. One of the most interesting of the floats shows the life of the Indians before white man had come from across the ocean to claim their country. This is a model of artistic beauty. Its whole color scheme is garish as befits j the natural impulses of the aborigine. Close to this will be shown a float dedicated to the Dutch. These were the first settlers on the Delaware. the They arrived here before Wintam Penn. ThiB car has a Dutch wind mill, a symbol of one well known feature of the life of the Hollanders. The Swedish settlers, who also took an Important part In preparing the way for the future Pennsylvania, are also represented In the earliest stages of the pageant. It Is a well known fact that the animating motive of the Swedish exodus to this couhtry was a deeply religious one, therefore Miss Oakley has decided that It would be a matter of excellent Judgment te have this float carry a reproduction of the first church known to have been raised by men of this nation ality in the new world. This was the Old Block House church, which stood on the site of the present Old Swedes church in Philadelphia. We will do your plumbing for the next 60 days for absolute cost—we See W. R.
