HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
MAY ORGANIZE A BAND
Proposition Receives Approval
of Supt. Davidson and
Other Officials.

The formation of a high school cadet
band was under consideration among the
officials of the District public schools to-
day. and they indicated that request
for the formation of such an organiza-
ton, received from the high school boys.
might be granted. Mckinley Manual
Training School already has a band,
which made it's appearance at a recent
foot ball game.
Approved by superintendent.
Supt. Davidson expressed himself as be-
ing in symp athy with the idea. Il have
no doubt" said he. that in such an or
ganization as the High School Cadets we
should be able to find lads who would like
to form a band. There are always some
boys and girls in a school of any size who
do not care especially for athletic, debat-
ing or other school activities Of similar
nature, but do have musical talent and
like to exert themselves in this direction.
We already have school orchestras,
therefore why not band? The question
/ always ask regarding such activities Is,
Has ii an educational value and does 1t
allow for GROWTH
Director of intermediate instruction A.
7. Stuart also spoke favorably Of the
PROJECT, saying ne DeI1eVed the OrcheStraS
did good work in the schools. and a band
would also probably prove valuable.
Ernest l.. Thurston, assistant superin-
tendent of schools. though he stated he
had not Investigated the matter deeply
enough to have any final opinion. thought
the idea would not be feasible, as the
regiment came together but twice a
year, and under existing conditions could
not meet oftener.
Infrequent Regimental Drills.
Unless the regiment could drill together
oftener than at present a band would
not be advisable, he said. He favored
the idea of musical organizations in
schools, on the whole. however. II wish
our boys could have more regimental
drills" he said, but they cannot, be-
cause the companies are too widely sep.
arated. If they walk to central des-
tination too much time would be con
sumed If they rode the car fare would
be added expense. OF course. If there
were a regiment in any one school. such
as are in the military academies through
out the country, it would be all right
but we have nothing of this kind herr

Chicago Quotations the Basis.

The quotations of the butter and egg
board of Chicago are the basis of prices OF
butter and eggs. except eggs that are
strictly fresh laid from the country adj
jacent to the individual markets, in every
community of the United States, accord
ing to wholesale dealers in Washington,
who state that the quotations in Wash
ington are based upon the Tuesday
quotations of the board
What Is known as the Elgin board at
Elgin, Ill, arranges the prices of butter
for the week Tuesday of each week. The
Chicago board quotations heretofore have
been In accord with these quotations, and
it Is generally supposed that the two
boards are either identical in composition
or are in working accord.
The report was circulated several
months ago that the Chicago butter and
egg board had been dissolved, and that
local dealers in Chicago were fixing the
weekly price. There has been evidence,
however. satisfying to the Washington
dealers, that the board was still in ex-
istence and debating prices, which is con-
firmed by the above dispatch from Chi
cago.
Chicago Action Not Known Here.
The Elgin board meeting yesterday.
confirmed the price of butter for this
week at the quotations of last week OF 81
other grade and 80 cents for tub butter
On this basis the wholesale prices In
Washington have been fixed The action
OF the Chicago butter and egg board in
reducing the price of tub butter was not
known here this morning.
A large demand for strictly fresh laid
eggs exists in Washington. At the pres
ent time country eggs are scarce and
dealers are paying from 80 to IS cents
dozen. The price of such eggs is not
governed by the Chicago quotations.. but
by the local supply and demand.
What are known as western eggs"
actually eggs that have been in cold
storage for a greater or less period of
time, are sold on the basis of the Chi
cago price. Eggs known to the trade as
storage eggs are quoted as low as Il
cents, while eggs which are commercially
fresh bring as high as 26 cents on the
present basis of the Chicago boards quo
tations of last week.
The advance In the Chicago quotations
Monday affected the retail selling prices
of eggs. The consumers paid 80 cents
Saturday for western fresh eggs and 81
cents Monday.

HOW BEST TO AVOID
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Importance of Fresh Air and
the Avoidance of ExceSSes
Is Emphasized.

Fresh air and the avoidance of excuses,
especially the use of intoxicating liquor.
are the most effective measures in the
prevention of pneumonia. according to
the District health authorities.
In a report issued today by the Dis
trict health department 1t is pointed out
that pneumonia and other diseases Of the
respiratory system may be expected to
figure largely in the mortality tables of
the District from now until spring. and
with reference to methods of preventing
these diseases, the report says:
THE best way to prevent pneumonia IS
to stop lowering the resisting powers of
the body. Breathe good pure air at all
times. Keep the windows open and your
sleeping apartments well ventilated and
avoid excesSes-especially in the use OF
Intoxicating liquors.
More Prevalent Among Men.
LAS a general rule, the male sex shows
greater proportion of deaths from
pneumonia than does the female, because
men frequent more insanitary places than
women and more frequently overindulge
in eating and in alcoholic drinks, and
conditions often produce sudden conges-
tions of the respiratory organs. and thus
is created a fertile soil for TIE develop
ment of the germs OF pneumonia.
Cold weather and pneumonia usually

! and creates fertile soil for the invasion

New York City.-Deputy Survey
or OF Port Richard Parr said today
that he had been offered a bride of
100000 to drop his investigation
of the jewel smuggling case in

detectives, presumably employed by
those involved in this case, have
been trying to break up his home.
They telephoned his wife that he was
untrue to her. They worried her so
much he says, that their action was
followed by death at birth of their
child and that Mrs. Parr is now
dangerously i'll. Parr came into dis
tinction by his action in exposing the
tremendous frauds perpetrated by
the sugar trust.
