Ltj "With the same success that has marked every feature of the 191G Har- I'l vest Festival and Fashion Show thus far, the Illuminated and Decorated au- Ijr tomobilo parade was staged lastj night. i While there were not as many decor- ated cars in line as last year, due to i the difficulty in obtaining decorating 1 i material, the general design and quall- jp ty of tho illuminations and decora- i tious were superior. Along the entire I ' line of march, nearly three miles, the I J Btreets wero thronged with spectators, who enjoyed tho exhibition in fine fos- 11' , tival spirit. The crowd was about a ! ' 'third larger than on the opening night, 3l indicating that the news that the Og- don celebration was being carried out as advertised had Bpread quickly 1 abroad. It was also a good natured n crowd, readily obeying the instruc- V tions of tho mounted committeemen jl and boy scouts to keep out of the path of the parading automobiles. Jj Mounted Officers, i Lod by six mounted police and dep- 1 uty sheriffs, the parade moved north from Twenty-soventh street and i Washington avenue at 3:00 o'clock, with the powerful rays of the mam- j ,moth flashlight on the David Eccles building playing upon It. Immediately ' following the mounted men, came the i police automobllo, carrying Chief of ! Police- T. E, Browning, Sergeant B. B. iWIlson, Sheriff T. A.' DeVino and preBs representatives.

President Albert Scowcroft's car I was next in the lino. This was an ' admirable creation. The body of the I car was decorated with green lights, setting off a large white cornucopia, at the top, In which were seated two of the owner's children, signifying the full harvest horn. Ralph E.

Throe of the largost automobiles In the city, gaily decorated with garlands gar-lands and paper flowers, carried tho 4C little charges of the Martha Society Day Nursery.

That American Greeks still retain reverence for the memory of the heroes of their land, along with an avowed allegiance to the land of their adoption, was evidenced last night in the float of the Hellenic-American club which moved in the automobile parade, which was an event of the Harvest Festival and Fashion Show program. The float designed by the members of tho club, of which Charles Rev-eliotis Rev-eliotis is president, constituted a replica re-plica of the statue of Alexander the Great astride his giant white horso, which he is reputed to have ridden at the head of Grecian armies in repelling repell-ing attempted invasions 'from the fierce warlike tribes in lands to the north of the little kingdom. Statues of the great general now on exhibition exhibi-tion in cities of the Grecian kingdom, as well as In various other places of the world, were erected in tribute to his conquering genius and to his twelve years of wise rule over the country he had saved from the enemy. Tho float was one rf tho most. unique in the parade. This was tho common expression among the crowds that viewed the pageant from the sidewalks. The colors were the Grecian Gre-cian colors, blue and white. The Grecian Gre-cian blue and white flag was displayed dis-played along with Old Glory. At the four pillars, which seemed to form an enclosure about the horseman, horse-man, who was Peter Menos, wearing Grecian helmet, such as Alexander the reat wears in statue form, and Grecian Gre-cian costume representative of that early period in Hellenic history, appeared ap-peared four stalwart Grecian warriors, guards of tho conqueror. They also wore helmets and were garbed in costumes cos-tumes consistent with the representation. representa-tion. Each guard carried a spear with gold handle and silver blade.
