popular type of tenpins rolled with
duckpin balls has come to be one OF
the favorite pastime of many OF
Weshington's army of big and little
pin spillers, and the announcement
of each succeeding three or four ball
tournament is always followed by
large entry from the local ranks.
This variety of alley sport has a
warm spot in the hearts of many of
the most expert rollers of big and
little pins, because it furnishes a d.
version from either Of the other

II is q singular fact that the annual
recurrence Of Holy Week appears to do
more to awaken interest in good music
than any event or season of the year.
II probably is natural there should be
a wider interest in the works of the
great composers at a time when the at
tention of all the church singers is CEN
tered on preparation for the Easter
serTices
Formerly. the Easter Sunday program
vas the great event of the year in the
church, but the scope of music in re-
Iigious service seems to have been
greatly broadened, and now, from the
beginning of Lent, we have a series of
events that are as significant of the
musical culture of the churchgoers as
hey are a recognition of the contribu-
tions the master composers have made
u devotional exercises.
scarcely less important than the Eas-
ter festival itself are the various ora
torios and cantataS that are being pre-
sented throughout the District this week
and next Special soloists are engaged
for many of these. and the work of
directing rehearsals and interpreting
the wonderful compositions brings out
not only the musical quality of the di-
"f capable choristers and increases the
popular interest in good music.

Fl Paso, Texas, April General Francisco Villa, head of the rebel mil itary forces, informed George c. Car others, special agent of the state de.
 partment, that he will decline to be dragged into war with the United
 States by anybody
 Why he smiled as he threw an arm about Carotners shoulders, "all Europe would laugh at us if we went to war with you. They would say, 1 that little drunkard Huerta has drawn them into tangle at last. Villa said he was not consulted in the drafting of the Carranza note transmitted to Secretary Bryan and which was regarded as somewhat hos tile in tone.
 The rebel leader told Carothers, who reported the interview to the state department tonight, that one of the chief reasons he came to Juarez was to show the American people that his attitude was friendly and that he did not fear to trust himself on the border without d military escort be | hind him

 "The landing party now occupies all the city and outposts have been stationed on the sand hills in the rear, who have been engaged in construct ing defensive works.
 Admiral Badger is making every effort to induce Mexican municipal authorities to assume their duties and take up the early administration of the city. He reports negotiations fair ly successful All work in the city is still stopped and no business is being transacted. The public service utili- ties have stopped because the em- ployes refuse to run the risk to them selves of resuming employment.
