ASSOCIATION ADOPTS
PLAN OF ADVERTISING
Buttons Properly Inscribed to Be
Distributed Washington's
Birthday Anniversary.

The Congress Heights Public Improve
ment Association intends to do some ad-
vertising of the suburb which 1t repre-
sents. At a meeting last night the as
ISOLATION decided to have buttons printed
for distribution among school children
and citizens, containing some catchy or
interesting inscription. The buttons will
be distributed to the school children on
Washingtons birthday anniversary,
which will be celebrated at the Congress
Heights School. as at other public
schools. A committee of the association
was appointed to cooperate with the
school authorities in a proper celebration
of the day. Speakers will be invited and
an interesting program made out The
committee in charge consists of Philip
Magruder, Gustave Bender and c. F.
Purdy.
The association proposes to interest its
members and citizens in entertainments
at intervals and to that end authorized
the appointment of an entertainment
committee, which consists of f. Wahler,
NJ. J. Filius and c. f. Purdy. The as
ISOLATION is pushing a bill in Congress
for the opening Of 4th street southeast
through the grounds of the Washington
Hospital for the Insane.
1t was decided to again urge the Wash

A Notable Musical Event.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
visible test of Washington's appre
citation of music of high order and real
interest in musical culture will be afford
ed in the audience that greets the Ham
mer Orchestra next Friday afternoon in
its performance of Beethoven's Ninth
or Choral Symphony. The performance
by local orchestra of the entire cycle
Of Beethovens symphonies would be a
notable event in any city. large or small,
In this country or abroad, even though
the performance should fall far short OF
perfection, for it would stand for the high
aim set up by the performers and for
certain amount of appreciation and of
response on the part of the community.
In the case of the Hammer Orchestra
no such qualifying term is necessary, for
while suffering both in number and in
equipment as well as in the lack of long
continuous drill when compared with the
two celebrated organizations from abroad
that commands liberal patronage here
the players that have sustained this noble
effort of Mr.. Hammer have won in their
rendition of the eight symphonies now
given the sincere praise not only of the
intelligent press notices. but of others Of
Washington's most exacting critics, who
have given private expression of their
sense of the real and unquestionable
merit of Mr.. Hammers achievements.
The Ninth Symphony crowns the struc-
ture of Beethoven's musical art. Not
only is it so difficult in its requirements
as to battle the efforts of any but very
courageous players and singers, but its
introduction of an immense choir of
voices, which break out at the close of
the work in the jubilant notes of SchiI-
ler's Hymn to JOY" gives the symphony
an entirely new form of expression. in
which the soul of the composer seems to
break through all conventional bonds and
to create a new evolution of the musical
art On account of these difficulties and
perhaps of the strangeness of this mu-
steal form, the Ninth Symphony is rarely
performed musical public can afford
to overlook many imperfections in the
rendition of such a work in view of the
heroism of the effort to accomplish a
really great and worthy thing. But We
have reason to hope that in the coming
Fridays performance the merits will be
sufficient to make no large demands on
the indulgence of the audience and to
crown Mr.. Hammers praiseworthy en-
deavor with a really triumphant success.
In any event performance like this is
unquestionably "a kind of challenge held
out to the National Capital to vindicate
it's often uttered claim to represent the
best cultured of the people and to be IA
center of educative influence In art and
other humanizing agencies.

NEED OF THE DISTRICT
CHAIRMAN SMITH WANTS PUB.
Lie SERVICE COMMISSION.
Tells Columbia Heights Citizens Of
Increased School Facilities-De.
tends His Committee.

One of the greatest needs of the DIS
trict of Columbia Is a public service COM
mission, Representative Samuel w.
Smith of Michigan, chairman of the
House District committee. declared in an
address before the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association last night. He told
the members Of the association that the
members of the House District commit
tee are at all times eager to do all in
their power for the advancement of the
District If they have failed at times
in the past in the estimation of Dis
trict folk he said, they at least had
done their work as they best knew how.
In his plea for the public service COM
mission, Mr.. Smith said: when you
give me commission of honest and
intelligent men, then am willing to be
governed by 1t. One member should be
familiar with the electric railway bust
ness, another an expert in gas and cleo
tricity and the third one who knows
the telephone traffic work. l would pay
each one of them $4,000 year. and
when they were indicted into Office I
would have the President tell them, Cen
tlemen, you are no fgureheads. You
have ben named for your ability in spe-
cial lines You are on guard
Mr.. Smith declared himself in favor OF
more uniformity 10 Duliulns lines liIouSH-
out the city. In discussing the over
crowding Of schools he pointed out that
in two years, when the contemplated i'm
provements are finished. there will be &C
commodations for about 64,O00 children.
At present there are $4,000 school chill
dren in the District, and at the rate of
increase he said there will be about 1000
additional in two years.

PLEA FOR SCOTT ST|RS
VICE PRESIDENTS STAND FOOD
FOR DISCUSSION.
Advice to West virginians Regarded
as Unusual-Has Opposed
Insurgents.

Vice President Sherman's action in is-
suing statement last night in favor of
the reelection of Senator Scott from West
Virginia stirred up much discussion at the
Capitol today.
The proceeding is generally regarded as
very unusual. The Vice President, how
ever, has not hesitated to show his atti-
tude in political matters since he took the
oath OF Office. Only recently he came out
in a statement in opposition to the insur-
gents.
Senator Scott is being opposed by Rep
resentative Hubbard, and the fight is get
ting warm.
The Vice Presidents statement was is
sued in interview form.

be short-sighted if she failed to avail her.
self of the opportunity to retain the serv-
ices of business man who at all times
has looked after the interests of the state
in every way possible to advance the
great development that is now taking
place. Such senator is Mr. Scott, and,
in my opinion, it would be misfortune
not to continue in the Senate such an
earnest republican and SO influential a
legislator
The Vice President also adds tribute
to Senator SCOTS legislative career.

The Chamber Of Commerce committee
which is investigating the problem Incl

food products will hold another session
| tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. and
special effort will be made to secure as
witnesses the Washington representatives
of the Chicago packing houses and the
officers of the local Retail Butchers Asso-
citation.
In order that its inquiries may be d.
rected along specific lines the chamber
has prepared a schedule covering the sig
nificant number Of thirteen necessaries
which enter most largely into the daily
life of all citizens of the District. This
list has been carefully compiled so that
it covers a period of exactly ten years,
and with the schedule before them the
committeeman are endeavoring to ascer-
tain from the mercantile interests which
purvey the articles to the public why
prices generally have undergone such
great advances.
Heads List in Increase.
In this list there are shown in con-
crete way, for the first time since the
agitation against high prices began, the
exact relations between the rates at which
various articles were sold In 1900 and in
1910. Arranged under the three captions
of food, clothing and shelter the sum-
mary shows conclusively that the in
creases under the heading of food have
been out of all proportion to the relative
increase in cost of clothing and rents"
The data for the lists were secured by
the chamber from the files of The Even
ing Star, from the grocery bulletins in
the Library of Congress and from the
report of the commissioner of labor.
Clothing is covered in one sentence by
the statement that prices have increased
20 per cent in ten years. Rent is given

has been 10 to Is per cent IN the decade.

articles covered, are sold at about the
same prices today that they were in jan
