FIRST REGIMENTAL BAND
MAKES HIT IN
AK-SAR-BEN PARADE
The popularity of the First Regimen
tal band was attested by the applause
which greeted it along the line of
march Wednesday night.
The following conversation was
overheard by a representative of The
Monitor on Sixteenth street before
the band came in sight, but while it
was playins one of its snappy, popu
lar airs:
"Say, fellow, that strikes me as the
best band in the whole parade; I won
der what band it is?”
"Dunno; guess we’ll see when it
comes nearer; but it’s certainly clean
ing up. That’s great music.”
Just then the band came within
view of the speakers.
“Oh, it’s that colored band.”
"Might o’ known it. Them fellers
are just full of music. They can’t
help play good music.”
One of the airs that seemed to catch
the crowd was “Brighten the Corner
Where You Are.”
This was the band that last year
stuck to the line of march during the
downpour of rain which drove all the
other bands to shelter and played
“How Dry I Am.”

Negro Women’s Christian
Association Call Meeting
The Negro Women’s Christian asso
ciation, which is endeavoring to pur
chase and maintain an old folks’ home
at 3019 Pinkney street, has sent out a
circular letter calling for a “get- to
gether meeting” at the Grove Method
ist Episcopal church, Twenty-second
and Seward streets, tomorrow (Sun
day) afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The circular emphasizes the fact
that Omaha is far behind other cities
of its class, having a like colored pop
ulation, in the maintenance of an in
stitution of a charitable nature, and
that a handful of earnest and well
meaning women have banded them
selves together in a laudable effort to
supply this need by the purchase of a
home on which they have paid about
$300. They ask that our citizens who
are interested in civic betterment and
uplift meet them in a "get-together”
day, not for any particular church,
society or individual, but a day to
bring together the people of Omaha;
a day to offer encouragement; a day
to speak for unity of purpose.
The president of this association is
Mrs. M. I>. Marshall and the secre
tary, Mrs. H. W. Black. The following
well-known and responsible gentlemen
compose the advisory board: Sergt.
Isaac Bailey, Alphonso Wilson, M. F.
Singleton, Henry W. Black and W. S.
Metcalfe.
An interesting program has been
provided for this meeting and a large
attendance is expected.
