Lift your lid.

This Is a new permission granted
to gallant soldiers by Secretary
OF War Baker.
In greeting their friends here
after, officers and men OF the army
raise their hats or caps. or salute
as they please.
Since an order issued In 1913.
greetings have been permitted
only by salute.
Scalp specialists declared that
constantly keeping the hat on is a
cause OF badness.
American soldiers need all the
thatch they have.
And then q great many ladies
do not understand military rules.
and think a soldier has been rude
to pass without the dofring of the
headpiece customary to civilians.
Lifting the hat originated in the
army, in the old days when men
wore armor and had a black
smith for a valet. They used to
take of their cast iron bonnet in
token OF the fact that they did
not fear being Drained with q
battle axe.
Now they will express their con-
fidence by revealing the secrets Of
their bald or otherwise crowns.

D. c. LUNACY LAWS
BAD, PAYNE SAYS
Secretary of Interior Urges
Amendment for Protection
of Insane.

Amendments to tho lunacy laws of
the District of Columbia to protect
more fully the legal rights of insane
persons were suggested to the House
District Committee today by John
Barton Payne, Secretary of the In
terror.
In a letter to the committee read
at a hearing, Mr.. Payne urged more
humanitarian treatment of insane
persons and modification of the
laws respecting their commitment
and maintenance.
The bill prepared by tho Depart
ment OF the Interior he explained,
has the Endorsement Of the judges of
the District Supreme Court, the Board
Of Trade, and other organizations OF
Washington.
Payne suggested that the prclim-
mary custody of insane persons now
In the hands of the police department
be transferred TO the Health Depart.
ment
Under the existing laws. the equity
court has full power to appoint n
committee of the estate OF adjudica-
tod insane persons, and the law makes
IL mandatory on the committee to de-
fray all cost OF committee and subse-
quent care.
This works a hardship on poor in.
sane persons, Payne told tho commit
tee. as very often tho entire funds Of
an estate are thus exhausted. He sug-
gested that the question OF costs be
left to tho discretion Of the Judge.

As to Play Pirating.
The term "piratins" as applied to
the stage may not be generally I'M
derstood by the uninitiated. 1t refers
to the use of play protected by
copyright which is used by produc-
ing company without paying a royal
ty. A few years ago many travelling
companies played the successes of the
previous year under different names,
thus escaping the payment Of royal
ties. Some managers, more bold than
the others, played the pieces without
even changing the names. The man
uscripts were obtained in different
ways. Companies in the cities made
a business Of supplying typed copies
Of any play desired for u charge Of
lS5 to SO. Some managers bought
these copies and others sent stenog-
raphers to catch the lines of the play
as spoken from the stage. A few en-
terprising managers witnessed the
performances Of stage successes, jot-
ted down some Of the most telling
lines, and rewrote the play to suit
their own companies, often reducing
the cast for presentation Of the plays
with small companies.
Occasionally one Of these play ''pi-
rates would be caught and prose-
cuted. This Is what happened to the
manager Of the company in which
little Nellie" was child performer.
He and the members of his company
were arrested for pirating play, on
complaint of tho owner. who had wit
messed performance. OF his piece, but
as the actors and actresses were in
no wise guilty and had no knowledge
OF the business affairs of the COM
pany, including the matter of royal
ties, they were released. The man
ager was tried, found guilty. and SEN
fenced to year in the penitentiary.
He did not, however. for some I'M
known reason, serve his time
A stock company which annually
visited this city some twenty years
ago offered all Of the New York sue
,cesses, and presented the plays In q
very capable manner These plays
were presented under their right
names, and the manager made no
pretense at observing the copyright
laws. His "carelessness" eventually
caused his appearance IN court, and
the litigation which followed virtual
ly ruined him financially.

81 have never produced play for
money" says Guy Bates Post, one OF
the leading actors of the American
stage. Il have never chosen play
because it possesses commercial pos
sibilties. I have always selected
play because it appealed to my ar
tistic temperament, had charm, and
yet the plays I have selected have
always been money makers. which
proves, to my mind, the great public
possesses more real artistic tempera-
ment than the average theatrical
manager gives it credit for having"

When Little Nellie Died.
A few years ago "Fisherman's
Luck" was popular play with rep
ertoire companies, and because the
owners eXacted a royalty for it's pres
entation it was often seen under
other names. "The Lighthouse Rob-
berry, was the very appropriate
handle attached to it by several I'M
scrupulous managers to disguise its
identity.
One of these pirating outfits fea-
tured 1.-THE Lighthouse Robbery"
and found it necessary to cast the
son of the leading lady, a lad Of
about 5 years, for the role of little
Nellie, in the absence of a child Of
the opposite sex. The lad made a
handsome little girl, with his curly
locks and his neat pinafore, but he
objected strenuously to the part be-
cause it demanded skirts. Loudly he
protested when "The Lighthouse
Robbery" was announced, and his
protestations often continued until he
received his cue for his first en-
trance.
However. he did remarkably well In
suppressing his indignation once he
stood before the footlights. On one
occasion, however. he protested more
loudly and longer than before, and
threats OF a spanking were Of no
avail. He went thru the first two
acts like little prince, but the third
act, which terminates with the death
OF little Nellie, found him in a fit Of
temper
The climax of the play comes at
the end Of the third act, when the
hero, having rescued little Nellie
from a watery grave. strides past
weeping family kneeling about little
Nellie's bed, runs his hand thru his
hair and gurglcs. my God. little Nell
