TO THE CHILDREN
President Roosevelt Addresses the
Youngsters on the Significance
OF Arbor Day.
ONE OF THE NATIONS NEEDS

In Easy Terms He Sets Forth the Ne
eesslty for Tree Culture and the
Preservation Of Forests-ThoughtsuI
Observance of Arbor Day Is Urged.
Washington, April 15.-President
Roosevelt has addressed ITO the
School Children of the United States"
q message on the significance OF Arbor
day, which during the month of April
is celebrated in many of the states.
/ The message is as follows:
ITO the School Children OF the
United States:-Arbor day (which
means simply tree day') is now OBJ
served in every state in our Union
and mainly in the schools. AT vari-
GUS times from January TO December,
but chiefly in this month of April. you
give day or part Of day TO special
exercises and perhaps TO actual tree
planting, I'm recognition of the import
ance OF trees TO us as a nation, and
Of what they yield in adornment, com
fort and useful products to the com
munities in which you live.
1T is well that you should celebrate
your arbor day thoughtfully. for with
IN your lifetime the nations need of
trees will become serious. We OF an
older generation can get along with
what we have, though with growing
hardship; but in your full manhood
and womanhood you will want what
nature once so beautifully supplied
and man so ;houghtlessly destroyed;
and because Of that want you will no.
proach us. not for what we have used,
but for what we have wasted. For
the nation. as for the man or woman
and the boy or girl, the road TO sue
cess is the right use Of what we have
and the Improvement of present op-
portunity. II you neglect TO prepare
yourselves now for the duties and re
sponsibilities which will fall upon you
later. if you do not learn the things
which you will need to know when
your school days are over, you will
suffer the consequences. So any ma.
, ton which In its youth lives only Tor
the day, reaps without sowing, and
consumes without outstanding, must
lexpect the penalty Of the prodigal
whose labor could with difficulty find
him the bare means of life.
"A people without children would
face a hopeless future; a country with
out trees is almost as hopeless; for
ests which are so used that they can
not renew themselves Will soon van
ish, and with them all their benefits
A true forest is not merely a store
house full Of wood. but, as It were
a factory Of food. and at the same time
a reservoir of water When you help
TO preserve our forests or TO plant
new ones you are acting the part OF
good citizens. The value of forestry
deserves, therefore, to be taught In
the schools. which aim to make good
citizens Of you. If your -Arbor day
exercises help you to realize what
benefits each one of you receives
from the forests, and how by your
assistance these benefits may con
tinue, they will serve a good end.

FIRE DRILL ABOARD STEAMERS.
Weekly Exercise That is Said to Be
Never Omitted.

Officials of the steamboat inspection serv-
ice were in this city yesterday and wit
messed fire drill aboard the steamer Nor
folk of the Norfolk and Washington line.
Within less than minute after the fire
alarm had sounded on the big bell aboard
the steamer the crew, without previous
warning, We're at quarters and half dozen
streams of water were playing from the fire
hose on the steamer upon the imaginary
fire. The lifeboats were lowered and the
whole fre-fighting and passenger-saving
drill was gone through before the whistle
of the steamer sounded stop" The drill
was a satisfactory one. and the steamboat
officials are said to have been much pleased
with it.
Under the marine regulations steamboat
masters are required to put their crews
through a fire drill at least once q week,
and every master on the Potomac is seeing
that such is done 1t is not at all uncom-
mon to hear the changing of the bell Of the
steamers lying at the wharf here and to see
the crews running to their stations, and in
a few seconds after the fire signal water Is
flying and every preparation Is made to put
the lifeboats overheard should 1t be neces-
sary. The drills are imperative for the
steamboat inspectors are liable to go aboard
a steamer at any time and tell the captain
to put his men through the drill. II 1t is
not satisfactory the captain is liable to hear
something from the inspectors that is far
from pleasant so they all keep their crews
up to the mark in the drills.

UNDER EXECUTIVE ORDER.
Revenue Cutters Cruising in Ocean
and Bav

The revenue cutters stationed on the At
lantic coast from Maine to Georgia are still,
under executive order, patrolling the coasts
Of their stations ready to lend a helping
hand to any vessel that may be in distress.
Several times in the past two months they
have been able to be of material aid to
sailing vessels and steamers that have gone
ashore, and have saved numbers of lives.
The destroying of derelicts has also come
within the province Of the revenue cutter
service, and the cutter Mohawk, on the
New York station, has used dynamite in the
destruction of three or four old vessels,
which, floating waterlogged off the New
England coast, were serious menaces to the
safety of commerce aboard ships. A num-
Der of derelicts on the southern coasts have
also been removed from the path of pass
ing vessels.
The cutter Apache, stationed at Balti-
more for service on Chesapeake bay and
it's tributaries, has no ocean duty to per-
form, but cruising on Chesapeake bay keeps
her busy. The presence Of the cutter has
made possible the enforcement of the laws
regarding the treatment Of crews aboard
the oyster-dredging vessels in the bay and
the lower Potomac, and every week the
Apache sails over the oyster-taking grounds
investigating complaints of crews and keep
Ing things in legal order In the oyster fleet
She has also been of assistance to a number
ing caught in ice or have gone ashore, and
has saved many thousand dollars of floating
property. She sailed from Baltimore on
one of her regular inspection cruises day
or two ago, and will spend several days Wis
iting different parts of Chesapeake bay.

Hard Shell Crabs Arrive.

Hard shell crabs. the first OF the season,
were received by the dealers at the wharf
yesterday and are now on sale there. The
crabs were from Hampton, Va, and are
caught by dredge boats, who drag for them
just as oysters are dragged for on the
Potomac. A dredge. shaped very much
like an oyster dredge, is used, and with this
trailing behind the crabbers sail over
Hampton Roads while the mouth of the
dredge scrapes along the bottom of the
bay. The crabs, in alternating state on
the bottom, half buried in the mud, are
scooped up by the dredge, and 1t is stated
that only few hours work is required to
secure several barrels of the shell fish
When taken from the water they are to all
ave shipped TO this city. Put in a warm
place the crabs soon come to life and seem
to have almost as much vigor as they have
in the middle of the summer, when crabs
are being received hels by the thousands
from the lower Potomac.
Dredging for crabs is comparatively a
new industry, and when il was first start
ed IL was contended II would soon destroy
the crabs. but II Is stated such does not
seem to be SO, for the crabs last summer
Were as plentiful as at any time In pre-
vious years when the taking of crabs In
winter was unheard of. The shell fish are
In excellent demand and crab feasts are In
order. They are selling AT q 6O rar hun

ENGLISH SIMPLICITY.
Prof. Fernald Discusses the "Athlete
of Languages"

English is the athlete of languages; it is
stripped for easy action, and for that reason
reaches its end more easily than does any
other language" So stated James c. Fer
nald formerly professor of English at Har-
ward University, in an address on the origin
and development of the English language
at the Y. NJ. c. A. building Friday evening
In the course of his address he pointed out
how the language has been changed by the
historical events that gather around the
British isle.
Many language students believe In the
"bow-wow" theory of the origin of Ian
guage. The impulse to give names to things
and to actions was born in man, and the
names given were suited to the sounds pro-
duced by the thing named, such as crash,
bang, "chu-chu' cars, etc. The fact that
the word for papa" is practically the same
in every language, with the further fact
that this broad sound of. "a Is the nat
ural sound accompanying an opening of
the lips, indicates that the impulse theory
OF the origin of language is the true one
Mr.. Fernald stated that the Roman con-
quest and dominion over the British Isle
left very little influence on the language as
it stands today. The few relics are found
in such names as Lancaster "Worces-
ter ETC., taken from the old Latin word
"castra," meaning camp. The Saxons were
protect the Inhabitants of England from the
Picts and Scots. After the Saxons con-
quered those people from the north they
settled among the inhabitants. After about
three hundred years the Danes came, and
in 1866 the Normans, under William the
Conqueror, took the country. The effect of
the coming of these various peoples to the
British isle was to simplify the language
and to throw off all unnecessary words and
endings.
How that is done was illustrated by Prof.
Fernard by citing expressions used by for
eigners. He stated that he was riding
wheel on the sidewalk for short distance
some time ago and he passed foreigner.
NO ride sidewalk; against law" remark
ed the foreigner. The idea was all there,
without any unnecessary words or endings.
In this way, each Of the new peoples who
went to England modified the language so
as to drop the superf1uous parts, SO that
case endings were dropped, verb forms were
left out, and the language has become the
simplest of all languages.

REAL WAR DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Jane Walker, 90 Years Of Age,
Passes Away.

Word has been received here of the re-
cent death of a real war daughter in the
passing of Mrs. Jane Walker at Waupun
Wis. She was ninety-six years of age, and
one of the few remaining daughters of
revolutionary soldiers. Her father Jo-
seph Powers, was born in 174S and enlisted
in the American army in 1775, remaining in
the ranks until the close of the war of the
revolution.
He was one of seven brothers who were
all revolutionary soldiers, only one being
killed in action.
Mrs. Walker distinctly remembered in
cidents and events as told by her father
of the part he took in the battles of
Bunker Hill and Lexington. and it gave her
much pleasure to relate them, with the
humorous as well as the pathetic side
Mrs. Walker retained her mental facul-
ties unimpaired until a week before her
death. She sent to President Roosevelt
a dolly that she embroidered after she
was ninety-six years old, and received a
prompt recognition from him.
Mrs. Walker was born in Ferrisburg VT,
August 81, 1910. and was the youngest of
sixteen children and the last to survive
She was married to Levi o. Walker In 1887,
going to Waupun in 1S4S, when Indiana
were frequent callers and deer and bear
roamed over their farm.

FOR BUSINESS SITE
NEW YORK AVENUE AND 18TH
STREET CORNER SOLD.
Mutual Fire Insurance Company Ar.
ranges to Move Its Offices to
This Property.

A sale of a good deal of consequence, as
well as of general interest, has just been
closed by Stone & Fairfax, real estate
brokers. They have sold to the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of this city for
the Osborne estate the property at the
northwest corner Of 18th and New York
avenue. The ground has frontage OF
twenty-five feet and depth of 1o4 feet
to an alley, and contains $500 square feet
The price paid is $4,000, which is at the
rate of $11.5O per square foot without
counting the improvements of any value
The latter is the ordinary three-story
dwelling, which was designed when the
character of the locality was quite diner
ent from what it is at the present time,
and what it promises to be in the future.
Some idea of the present character OF the
Sc ion may be obtained from the circum-
stance Of this purchase. 1t is made by
the fire insurance company Tor the purpose
of securing place for the business once
of the company. Now the location of the
cumpanys office is on the southwest cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street,
where it has been for a good while. In
fact, this company, which has been In ex-
is:ence here for a good many years, ana
has had, a successful career, has always
hau its headquarters in the portion OF the
city where its offices are now located.
The move is, therefore, quite a radlcal
one for this company, and furnishes SUD-
stantIai evidence of the changes that nave
to Ken place, and the movement of the bus1-
ness centers of the city. 1t is the purpose
pf the company to have in this location a
building the first or ground floor of which
will be fitted up for it's use. The remain
ing space in the building will be available
for other uses.
The location is one that has turned dur
ing the past few years from a residence
locality into one for business. On the cor
ner to the east is the site of the proposed
Masonic Temple, while to the west are
various properties, which have come into
recent use for business purposes. The
changes along this line on the block on
New York avenue, just east of 14th street.
is one of the remarkable illustrations OF
the modern development of the business
section Of the city.
