The Ballad Of Billy Bird

Inc Ballad OF Billy bHa
You never have heard how Billy
Bird
Sailed the aerial sea?
Then the tale I'll tell of what befel
AS the tale was told to me.
oh, Billy B. was an airman free
As ever burned gasoline.
And he loved at sight katherine
Kite
Who rode in Wright machine.
Now Katherine Kite had an eynie
light
Where the airmen loved to go,
For Katherine X was pretty and
gay,
And her father had lots of dough
oh, she gave one day a party gay,
To airmen bold and free;
And there came ten score or may
be more,
From over the land ard sea.
And every one, to the eagles son,
Claimed the hand OF Katherine
BOLD birds" quoth sho "I',l mar
ried be
Before the coming night.
ieHank up with care from the hang
ers there
With papa's gasoline,
And I'll marry the man who proves
Follow his brides machine.
Then her motors banged and her
guy wires twanged
And Katharine Kite was gone.
oh, they spattered the scene with
gasoline
Till the flock flew off the lawn.
But who is the swain in the mono
paine
Who follows so close on the
Wright machine.
Its Billy Bird of whom you've
heard,
With his tanks all full and tight
Then Katie no doubt let her en-
n gines out
Her engines two and three.
For she looked again for the flying
And saw only Billy B.
1.Oh, Billy B. viii you follow me
In the comets fiery trail
ooh, katherine Kite, I'll follow
your fight,
If you tickle the Scorpions tail"
oh, lovers will brag but their en-
- gines lag
If they haven't got gasoline,
And Billy's are still, while Kate
has gill
To hold up her big machine.
It was none too soon she steered
for a moon
Where Saturn's rings run round
A long hard glide bod Billy mus
ride
If he lands ON Katie's ground.
He slid too soon, for "a nearer moo
Was the best that he could do.
Nv the even moonlight of ;
ringed night
The Saturn watched these two.
And there they must stay till tn
Judgement day
Or the good gods intervene,
Each broken lheart-just a moo
apart
For the want of gasoline.

SEWERS BEING EXTENDED
Work on Those for Overflow
Into Eastern Branch
Begun.

Work Of extending the overflow sewers
into the Eastern branch from the shore
line, in project No. of the Anacostia
flats reclamation work, was begun yes
terday, when piledriver began the plac-
ing of piles upon which will rest the
sewer to be extended. These sewers will
not be called into use at all times, but only
when the large interceptor is incapable of
handling all of the water, especially dur
ing heavy rainy seasons; these sewers
will be the means Of preventing an over
flow. Just as soon as the work on them
is completed the work OF filing in the
fats in this project can be continued
without hindrance.
Large dredges have already estab-
lished a bulkhead line between the
Anacostia and Pennsylvania Avenue
bridges. and stone will be placed in
position in the near future. 1t is un-
derstood that the stone for this sec
ton will be brought by railroad to
Twining City and carried from there on
barges A wharf is being erected for
this purpose.
In connection with the reclamation
work. 1t will also be necessary for the
Washington Yacht Club, now located
just west Of the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge, to move its location, and this club
has purchased property on the other side
of the branch. where; it will erect its club
rooms. 1t is expected that the entire
work in this section will be completed
within five years.

Prof. Rodriguez Making Close
Study of American Juve-
nile Courts.

DR.. Manuel Valdez Rodriguez pro-
fessor of the University of Havana, who
is in this country making a study of
institutions of learning, has also been
commissioned by the Cuban govern
ment to pay particular attention to the
American juvenile courts.
DR.. Rodriguez spent yesterday after
noon at the Juvenile Court in this
city, which is the first one he has
visited so far, and expressed himself
as favorably impressed with Judge
De Lacy's system of trying juvenile de-
linquents. He was accompanied by
Cesar A. Barranco. Cuban vice consul
in Washington.
Seeks Model System.
DIR. Rodriguez says the subject of
Juvenile courts has been studied in his
country but never before in the way he
is doing now. He intends to make a
detailed study of the systems in many
of our cities, and select what he con-
siders the best features in each as q
model for the Cuban courts of this sort
The special commissioner from Cuba
was particularly pleased with the con-
ference reports of the physicians at the
Government Hospital for the Insane
where boys are sent for examination

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
ROME, May 8, 1913.
An ex-sergeant of cavalry, named Cal
lerani, posing as police officer. went
to the palace of Princess Hercolani at
Bologna, and, having obtained an inter-
view, presented her with written de-
mand for 500. purporting to be signed by
Black Hand society.
The man demanded that she should also
hand over her valuable jewelry. AS the
princess absolutely refused to accede to
the impudent request. Callerani fired at
her twice with a revolver. Luckily the
aim was bad and the princess escaped
injury.
The princess struck him a powerful
blow on the chest, and managed to ring
an electrical bell for help. Finding that
the game was up, the man rushed into
an adjoining room. but this afforded him
no means of escape, and the princess
kept him at bay until the arrival Of the
police.
Callerani expended all his spare car
tridges In a fruitless attempt to smash
the lock of q door which offered a means
of escape. When arrested CalIerani said
that he was out OF work and starving.
