F you love boys and if you love
 music, and if you were around at the Lyric yesterday and heard the rat-tat-tat of the big Columbia Park Boys club band from San Francisco, 1 feel sure youll be tremendously Inter- ested in hearing some things that l heard about the band and the famous club and how each is conducted and what each stand for.
 Eager, wistful, wonderful little faces peered from the large audience up at the big stage at yesterdays matinee as the boys band appeared and from the differ ent members of the Alabama Boys In- dustrial School band, who were the guests of the Lyric. you could hear such comments as:
 Gee, look at that feller on the end over there If I could blow CT horn lak he kin, I'd be happy! And look over wonder! Amt he a peach, that one with the big trombone?"
 It fairly warmed the cookies of your heart to see so much human nature all in bunch, and to notice those happy, care free little fellows in the audience as they imagined themselves on the stage right in the places of the little fellows who were there.
 1 went to headquarters to ask some questions and found Maj Sidney S. Pick otto, the founder and president of the Columbia Park Boys club, willing and delighted to tell me all about his boys.
 Major Piexotto whose name sounds like an East Indian relish; it really is Portuguese, puzzles you considerably when he says that his work with the boys club of San Francisco dates back P years because he looks more like a big boy himself than a veteran settle ment worker. Clean shaven, erect, his fine clear skin and firm step, his rather high receding forehead indicates a sort of bulldog determination which makes you think it pretty safe bet that if he attempts to do anything he is more than apt to succeed.
 ''The band l have brought to Birming- ham, said Major Piexotto, lis but one division of the Columbia Park club-3OO in all-and.it is purely educational from every standpoint. l believe that the im- agination of boy is a very precious thing and that given the right environ ments at the very beginning, guarded, trained and developed along the proper lines, there is no height that boy can not reach.

 FOR SAKE OF DEBUTANT'E

, have been urged to speak at the na- tional mothers congress in Washington this spring.
 Tt is not" went on Mrs Gazzam loy- ally, that society hostesses care for al- coholic beverages, or that their debu- tante daughters crave stimulants at their dances and parties. But the custom has held so long that each woman he's itates to be different.
 This must be a concerted move on the part of all women in high social posi- tions to make them realize their respon- sibility. Here is our pledge:
 "'I believe in closing the doors of in- temperance to the youth of America for all time. To that end l shall never offer irtoxicants to young people, thus safe guarding the girl just making her en- trance into the social world and the boy at college, away from home.
 ADVOCATES BEAUTY SLEEP
 I believe in total abstinence from all alcoholic liquors especially for persons In high places and authority, for the sake of example.
 When Mrs Gazzams daughter, Olivia, was presented to the world of wealth and fashion a year ago, the musicians were sent away on the stroke of midnight, thereby giving society the surprise of the season. At 2:30 not a guest remained, and at 1 a. m. the pretty Miss Olivia was only an hour behind on her beauty sleep
 T simply have the courage of my con- viotions,' says Olivia's mother. (Olivia has a big brother at Harvard). "As things are now, a debutante is often an abso- lute wreck physically and nervously be- fore her first season ends. It is not un- common for a girl to dance till daylight several times a week. And young men dash home, substitute bath for g nights sleep and wonder why they fall at business.l They don't want the cock tail and champagne. But when they are urged to drink by an attractive hostess, they cannot say no!
 Mrs. Gazzam hopes her Young Peoples Conservation league will spread through out the land, And it will too, if all the attractive hostesses" from Boston to Spokane will agree to dispossess drink from the drawing room. If the Mrs. Gazzams will make it fashionable" to abstain, they will do as much, say I, to speed the advancing tide of prohibition as they have for suffrage. Make thing smart" and women will follow it. En- list the women and your case is won.

Working With Boys Has Kept Me Young" Says Major Pexotto, Founder and President of
 Columbia Park Bows Club of San Francisco

is one of the most famous illustrators Of the day; his sister, Jessica, has for II years occupied the chair of social science in the Univesity of California; another brother, Eustace, is employed in a high official capacity with the public schools of San Francisco and he takes charge of the Boys club, while Major Piexotte is concertizing with the famous band. So, you see that his own life and that of all those who are near and dear to him spells achievement, which is the watch word of his work, and his is a beautiful example for his boys to follow.
 Dormant in every boy lies some espe- clal talent said Major Piexotte, and in our club we give our boys the chance of play and experiment after study hours until as it were he finds himself. Take the youngsters in the band which is now in Birmingham. They are as fine, healthy, wholesome lot of young fellows as you can find anywhere. They are all business men. They enjoy these trips we make because they are educational 1t gives them an opportunity to visit great industrial centers like your city here and learn something of forms of business they never see in California. Just as Luther Burbank took our boys over his eXperi- mental gardens and patiently answered about seven thousand of their questions, just are people everywhere delighted to add bit of extension course to what they have already learned.
 The work and play features of the Columbia Park Boys club Major Piex- otte said, have not been planned in an arbitrary manner They have been adopted for the purpose of making bet ter and more useful men out of our boys We go on the theory that the more beautiful and wonderful your boy hood is, the more beautiful and wonder ful your manhood will be. Our work makes our boys proud and happy be- cause it reveals the possibilities that lie within them. They acquire confidence in themselves. They are taught all the fine arts as we'll as the academic branches; they are taught dramatics, the staging of plays, music, art-whatever channel their especial talent happens to lie in. Before the boys who are here with me in the band could become members they had to serve an apprenticeship; they had to take a special course in music, ath- letic work, military training and parlia- mentary drill. Everywhere we appear we are received magnifcently, which l appreciate more than I can say, both for myself and the boys
 more gentlemanly, more elegant, manly set of little fellows in all my life than the members of the Columbia Park Boys Club band I met yesterday just before the matinee. Bright, clever, wholesome, they are a splendid reward for the g years service that their leader, Major Piexotte. has given to his work, heart and soul.
 It would be well for the world If there were many more such clubs filled with boys, loved and cared for by such a man.

MRS. H. S. STRUBLE AND BE-
Low, LIEUT.. MARRY CHISAM
CLIMBING OUT OF THE AERO
PLANE ALLEN WHICH HE
NAMED AFTER HER.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 10.-A budding
international war romance has been
shattered because the lsf I. the case,
daughter of Dixie, was true blue to
the StaSs and Stripes.
Just shout a year ago Lieutenant
Harry Chfsam, British aviator, was
visitor in America. Rumor has it
he lost his heart to Miss Aileen Field
er Of Atlanta, Ga, of proverbial
southern beauty. At any rate when
Lieutenant Chisam returned TO The
old country he named his aeroplane
"Affeers for 1.-THE girl back there" 10
America. Friends of the two were
confident that if the "Aileen" lasted
the war through her owner wouFHre-
turn to claim the original of the
name.
But they had not figured on Miss
Fielder's patriotism. Miss Fielder
met Captain Herbert Spencer Struble,
United States Army, stationed near
her Atlanta home at an officers
training camp. Miss Fielder today
is 'Mrs. Captain" Struble, ready, if
need be, to follow her husband to
France.

Revision of Navigation
Laws Planned at Early Date

Washington, Nov. 12.-Al who
want to see the American fleet not
only regain, but retain, its former
high position among the worlds ship
ping are urged by the National For
eign Trade Council to cooperate with
the United States Shipping Board in
an effort to revise the navigation
laws so as to lift the handicap from
American vessels.
"The removal of all inequalities and
injustices from the American naviga-
ton system, enabling American ship
ping to maintain itself upon an equit-
ably competitive basis with other ma
tons with due regard to American
standards of living and compensation,
is absolutely essential to the perma-
nency of the forthcoming rehabilita-
ton of the American merchant ma
rine," asserts the Foreign Trade
Council in a report and resolution it
will submit today to the Shipping
Board.
The Council urges call who are in
terested in insuring the permanent
restoration of the American flag to
the recognized place it formerly held
in the carrying trade of the world,
generously to cooperate with the
United States Shipping Board for the
purpose of securing the necessary re-
vision and amendment of the naviga-
ton laws in time to render effective
service in the operation of the new
American fleet
Accompanying the resolution Is q
report prepared by the Councils COM
mittee on Merchant Marine, and
signed by James A. Farrell, chairman
OF the Council and president of the
United States Steel Corporation. and
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
international Mercantile Marine Cor
poration. Edward N. Hurley, chair
man of the Shipping Board, is a men,
Der of the Council.
The report shows that the program
of the Shipping Board covers the con-
struction and other acquisition of
$500 vessels of the total dead weight
tonnage of nearly 100000 tons.
The committee points out that the
experience of Great Britain has
proved that less than 60 per cent of
British foreign trade is carried in
British bottoms.
eff the carriage of 60 per cent of
American foreign trade in American
ships" says the committee. "would
render the United States reasonably
free from the necessity of employing
foreign merchant marine for its
carrying trade, the program of the
Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet
Corporation at present under execu-
ton would accomplish the desired re-
suit.
"In 1915" continues the report,
1871 .543 tons of American shipping
carried one-seventh, 143 per cent, of
the total foreign commerce of the
United States. On this basis a fleet
of 13,1OO,801 tons would have been
required for the transportation of the
entire foreign commerce of the coun-
try. But on the basis of British ex-
perience, an American fleet of $780,
