To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your article In The Star of July II under
the caption of Music for Ships is so err
roneous and misleading l am constrained
to address you on the subject in order that
the Impressions conveyed may be Grad
icated.
In the first place, it is not a training
bcys-not under fourteen or over sixteen
years Of age-are allowed by law as ap-
prentices to music. They are taught the
drum and bugle and also reading, writing
and arithmetic. When qualified they are
rated as field music and are then liable
to detail at other barracks or vessls Of
war, as their services may be needed.
Your article has been copied in several
OF the journals Of other states, and has
caused much expense to residents outside
of Washington. l have had numerous per-
sonal visits from parents and others, fre-
Quently accompanied by boys, who. having
read this article, come here at much trou-
BILE and expense to place their boys in the
I have now on file about thirty applica-
items, some dating back nearly year, and
nearly all from boys who are the orphan
children of old marines or soldiers, to whom
preference is always given.
l trust that you will find some way to
publicly remove the impression that so err
ropeously prevails, and thereby save trou-
BILE and expense to many VINO can haroly

Grace Shannon, the aeronaut, attained
another success yesterday at River View
when she assembled nearly 5000 feet in her
big balloon and descended in parachute
unframed. The ascension was made about
7:15 o'clock. just after the Pentz got in
from her last trip to Washington, and was
witnessed by over 1900 people. When the
big hot air bag was cut loose, 1t went up
in the air Ike a rocket until an elevation
of about 5000 feet was reached. Then Miss
Shannon cut the parachute loose and de-
scended softly on the shores of Swami
creek near old Fort Washington The as
cension was one of the most successful
ever given at the View, and its success has
determined Capt. Randall to have Miss
Shannon repeat the ascension again on

to accommodate the crowds who are anx-
fous to enjoy the pleasure of the outing.
The GOODNESS of the river is pronounced as
soon as the boat is turned out into the
stream, and nothing but comfort and en-
joyment is in store for the guests until the
home wharf is again touched. Four hours
of continuous sailing are included in the
program, with music by Schroeder mean
while. There Is not another route from
Washington by any means of travel that
carries one through such picturesque spots
and magnificent scenery. At Marshall Hall

management is evidenced in the provision
of barber shop. The convenience to the
gentlemen is evident at glance. The

Police Asked to Look Out for Missing,
May SchOlter,

Mr.. Frederick Scholter of Glenbrook.
Fairfax county, Va, asked the police Sat
uriay afternoon to look cut for his daugh-
ter. May Scholter, who is fifteen years
old. The Scholters formerly lived here,
and when Mr.. Scholter married a second
time and moved to the country, the child
wanted to remain here. This she was not
permitted to do, and last Thursday she
left home and did not return. Her father
thinking she had gone 10 a camp meeting
with a neighbor, was not alarmed; but

assistance 1t is the opinion of the officers
that the girl became tired of the country
and Is probably at the house of a friend in
the city.

farming in these days as implements
with which to work or seeds to plant.
Among those that strive to fill the

generally recognized as the leader in
the West. None other covers so large
field, nor covers it so thoroughly and
with the purpose of being practically
helpful so constantly in view. 1t has
large staff of practical, working farm.

results ofactual every day experience
instead of speculative theory for the
readers guidance, and its special de-
