Titles In Germany.

The question of title is one of the
most delicate in Germany, a fact of
which the stranger is constantly re
minded Ia intercourse with the people
particularly with the women. Frau
Professor, Frau Director, Frau Doctor,
are most particular about their hus-
bands titles being attached to their
own names. But when it comes to mil
itary circles it is different, and both
men and women protest vigorously
against this sharing of titles Lieuten-
ant Won B. objects to having his wife
addressed as Frau Lieutenant, which
title belongs as well to the wife of
Lieutenant Schmidt or Half of a less
aristocratic regiment.

There are some odd names for game
birds on the Chesapeake. A small SHY
snipe that flies with a twittering noise
is called the horsefoot snipe because
of its fondness for the horsefoot or
horseshoe crab. 1t is called also the
turnstone from its habit of overturn-
ing pebbles in search OF food. The
.telltale snipe bears that name because
1t always sounds a note of alarm at
the sight of a gunner. Chesapeake
gunners believe that single telltale

Alexandra Dumas, ST., was once Wis

a villa near Paris. They sat in tiny
scrap of a garden behind the house
under the one small tree 1t contained.
1t was a broiling hot day, and Dumas,
who was very stout, said to his son:

heat"
What shall do, father?''
Suppose you open your chamber

AUDIENCE ENTHUSIASTIC
AT SYMPHONY CONCERT

The fourth concert by the Washington
symphony Orchestra was given yester-
day afternoon at the Lafayette Theater
before small but none the less enthu-
siastic and appreciative audience. Prob
ably because of the early date in the
concert. which had been scheduled for
next month. many were compelled 10
remain away.
Beethoven's compositions made up the
program and gave to the audience a Sc
ries OF most interesting numbers The
compositions included the Seventh
(Danee) Symphony with all its beauties
of conception admirably brought out by
the orchestra It is in this work that
the master has demonstrated that his
vision of life and music was not alto
gether overshadowed in sadness and in
the various movements his superb gem
ius is apparent. The allegretto move
ment from the. Eighth Symphony and
two oyertures. the third ''Leonore'' and
that TO -.Coriolanus made up the re-
naming numbers.
Thomas Evans Greene, tenor. was the
soloist of the afternoon and gained
nluch favor with the audience by his
singing of the baliade, Adelaide" He
was compelled to accede TO the demand
for an encore and repeated a part of the
composition.

An important part of the correspon-

But, in addition TO this, days OF care

the tide conditions at the tive places
mentioned. The appropriation size was
largely determined by the fact that on
the Maine coast the tides are enormous

Other things to be considered were

Views of the Board.
The Board of Education ne says.
has for some time been conducting a
series of free evening lectures for the
people under an appropriation made by

series, of course it would not become the
Board Of Education TO object, unless it
should be provided. as in the bill in
question that these lectures should be
held in the school buildings. In that
case. the board would feel that the
lectures should be in charge of the
board. and that those In charge OF the
school buildings should be selected from
the employees of the board -
The Board approved the report of the
special committee and Commissioner
