that rare musical talent is not always, if
indeed ever, fully appreciated in the bosom
Of ones family. Perhaps in some cases
Il would be more appropriate If | said
in the nerve center OF ones family
however. it is hard to make your famiiy
realize that you are musician until some
body tells them or it so. At least 1t was
in this instance where a fond mother,
leaning over the back fence, confided to
her neighbor, "I wisht John would give
I'D this here music business and get into
one of them ambition plants you hear
90 much about
60 MUCH is done for the soldiers SAIL
~ ors and marines these days. TINS Is
all as it should be. But too many persons,
/ am afraid, who have been, helping 10
support other needy charities have had
their vision obscured by this big issue at
hand, with the result that other charlties
have suffered dreadfully. And this Is
time when these other interests must DE
kept up at all cost. The Babies Hospital
for example. They tell me that although
there is a greater need than ever, sums
Of money donated for the work nave
fallen off at an alarming rate since the
beginning of the war, which is not as IL
should be- for who needs attention ana
care so much as the coming generatioh'
Those interested in the welfare of the
hospital have devised means or raising
necessary funds, and that is by urging
people who have been and are Wiling 10
entertain sailors and marines do so by
buying tickets for the baseball game
between the Athletics and Boston Reu
sox on September G. This unique iuea
cannot fail to bring pleasure to large
numbers of the men, for what man does
not love the national sport.
The sailors and marines themselves
have indicated a keen interest in making
this a real gala day at Shite Park ana IN
helping to swell the fund for the babes
They realize that the victories they win
will avail little to the country unless inc
coming generation is saved Many Oh
them are unwilling to accept the GIT oi
tickets, but want to do their bit Tor the
: little tots, who it is hoped may uphoio
the ideals for which they themselves are
sacrificing so much so they are buying
and selling tickets to the benefit game
However, a considerable number OF
them who are just as desirous Of helping
the cause Of baby-life conservation can
not afford to purchase tickets. Their
money must be sent home! These men
should be allowed to attend the game

Tor them. 1t is planned to give all such
admission cards to the chaplain OF the
navy yard for distribution to men VINO
cannot buy them.
The project. has the support of Colone'
Long, Colonel Leiper and Chaplain DICK
'ns, Of the navy yard.
AS further evidence of the interest dis
played by the enlisted men, there will be
an exhibition drill by the marines from
the yard, and the Marine Band will &c
In Attendance.
There is every reason to believe that III
view Of such practical help being given pS
our boys the general public will not alio"
me opportunity to pass in an endeavor t'
make this game the greatest hnancia
success ever obtained for the hospital a
