Why Should My Boy Study
Music.

There rarely seems to be any
doubt upon the part of parents
about desirability of the daughter
having music lessons. With the
boy, however, the case seems diff
ferent. Really, the boy needs his
music even more than the girl. If
the father or the mother is in doubt,
perhaps these answers to the ques-
tion may help. 'Why should my
boy study music?"
Because music is refining in its
influence.
Because music will elevate his
ideals.
Because music will develop his
mind better than any other stu dy.
Because music will teach him the
need for patience and persistence in
effort.
Because music will make him
methodical in his efforts.
Because music will make him
socially eligible to very desirable
society in which ignorance of mu-
sic is considered a lack of culture.

paid unusually high profit-sharing divi-
dends to their employees in the past.
The PLAN" says one of these employ
ers, developed the individual sense of
responsibility, increased thrift and in
creased efficiency" 1t should be noted,
as throwing some light on this opin-
ion, that under the plan in operation in
this establishment since 1903 profit
sharing dividends ranging from 16 to "a
per cent of the annual earnings of the
participants were paid. Another en-
ployer under whose plan unusually
large shares of profits were paid
shares ranging from so to 100 per cent
of annual earnings-believes that the
"profit-sharing scheme has made the
employees more efficient. 1t has removed
all friction between the company and
it's employees"
The report Classics two forms of
profit-sharing in operation in this coun-
try-one under which distribution of a
specific proportion of the net profits is
made to at least one-third of the total
number employed, including employees in
occupations other than executive and
clerical. and the other limited profit
sharing plan under which less than one
third of the employees, excluding employees
other than executives ard clerks, are
participants.

PROPOSES NEW SYSTEM
Of ARMY PROMOTIONS
General Stats Universal Service Bill
Outlines Plan, Which Is Be-
ing Considered.

An entirely new system of army
promotions is outlined in the genera
staff universal service bill, which has
been referred to the bureau chiefs OF
the War Department for comment In
der the plan officers would be ad-
vanced only after service for definite
period of years in the next lower grade
and promotions would be made from
single list, in order to prevent rivalry
in this regard between the various arms
of the service.
Recognized as Vital Issue.
in the bill as vital one, in view OF
the fact that an immediate expansion
of the present authorized officers corps
of the army by the commissioning OF
17,125 additional men would be re-
quired before training of the army
could be even started. A carefully
prepared study of the problem of OBJ
tanning these officers accompanies the
bill. Former regular officers and quail
fed enlisted men of the regular army
are given first plac in the list of
eligibles, but the report recognizes that
the greatest source of supply would be
from the National Guard, which would
cease to exist five years after the
adoption of the universal plan.
Military Headquarters.
The staff bill fixes the training d.vi-
sion as the military headquarters for
the entire government of each of the
sixteen divisions it regards as neces-
sary in order to build up an army of
100000 trained, equipped and organ
lied reservists in eleven years. The
period would be increased to twenty
six years to reach the same result, the
war college report states, if only twelve
divisions were provided for.
In providing for the promotion of
regular officers. the staff plan would
continue the selection system for gen.
eral officers. Below that rank the fol-
lowing years of service would be re-
quired to become eligible for advance
ment, subject to professional examina-
ton: To the grade of first lieutenant,
four years; captain. nine years; majo
nineteen years; lieutenant colonel
years; colonel twenty
seven years. Promotions would be from
the next lowest grade in every in
stance and made from a single list of
all officers. In time of war. however, a
merit promotion system would be sub
stituted for both permanent and reserve
officers.

PLANS TO PROTECT
INAUGURAL CROWDS
Stringent Regulations to Be
Enforced by the Superin-
tendent of Police.
TO WATCH FOR CROOKS

Regulations governing the conduct of
the police and crowds during the in
augural period, which were framed by
Maj. Raymond W. Pullman, chief of
police. and adopted by the District
Commissioners, become operative at Il
o'clock tonight, t being explicitly stat
ed that they are to be in force one week
prior to the inauguration, during the
inauguration and one week subsequent
thereto. There are many subjects dealt
with in the inaugural laws that are
handled differently from what is pro-
vided in the enactments on the statute
books and in the police regulations.
Maj. Pullman took care to incorpo-
rate in the regulations several provi-
sions that are calculated to keep down
crooks, idle and disorderly persons and
those who are found with burglar i'm
PIGMENTS in their possession, all of
whom are held to a strict accountable
ity. Included in the<list of persons
slated for arrest are those known to be
pickpockets, thieves, burglars or conf
dence operators having no visible

Admonishes the Detectives.

With the view of impressing upon
members of the detective corps the ne
cessity for paying strict attention to
enforcement of the laws and to
thoroughly familiarize themselves with
its provisions, Maj. Pullman yesterday
addressed his secret service body. He
pointed out the more important sec
tons of the law and made it plain that
they must not disclose their identity
while in the crowds. Maj. huffman ad-
moniShed the detectives that they must
refrain from protracted street confer
ences with members of the uniformed
force.
1t is Maj. Pullman's desire to have
the detectives conceal their identity,
IN order that crooks who may come
from other cities will find it a diff
cult matter to discover them in the
crowds. Persons who patronize public
vehicles tomorrow and until one week
find tariff charges somewhat different
from {he regular rates. Special rates
are fixed for trips of every description.
Particular attention is directed to the
provisions of the liquor law, it being
made plain that saloons must remain
closed from midnight Saturday until z
O'Clock Tuesday morning following the
inauguration, and the Commissioners
have included so-called near-beer in
the list of beverages, 1.-The sale of which
IS prohibited. Drinking in public
places, selling of "ticklers' and the
throwing of confetti and like sub
stances are prohibited in section
which reads:
The sale or drinking of any kind of
alcoholic beverage, including near
beer. on any government reservation or
on any street, avenue or alley is pro-
hibited, and the throwing, casting or
discharging of confetti or kindred sub
stances on persons or property, or the
sale or use of ticklers' or other de-
vices to be used for the annoyance of
any person, is prohibited"
