MARINE TRAINS BAND.
Four months ago these lads knew
little or nothing about music. and
cared less. Then someone suggested
the idea. The band was formed and
the management Of The Washington
Times sent posthaste for Bandmas-
ter Phillips. Of the Quantico Marine
Corps Band. MIR. Phillips answered
the summons and came on to Wash
ington. He gathered his green ma.
terial about him, gazed on their
freckleS faces and grinning lips. and
heaved q sigh. He knew he had
some battle before him. but whoever
heard of a marine quail at battle?
He threw his whole heart into the
business. The youngsters met him
halfway. and the result il that today
The Washington Times and The
Washington Herald boast Of the
best little band of accomplished boy
musicians In the city, all In fine new
uniforms.
The people who comprise the man.
agement of The Washington Times
and Herald have warm spots in
their hearts for all newsboys. Some
Of them have. been newsboys. and
now whenever they see a kid on the
street with q bundle Of papers under
his arm, they bark back to the days
when they, too. yelled their wares
to the passing throng. In that lsd
on the corner they see themselves
az they were in years that have
flown. and perhaps they envy him q
little-who knowsf
BOYS WELL CARED FOR.
The carrier boys for The Wash
ington Times and The Washington
Herald come in for special attention
from the management of these pa
pers. From Mr.. Hearst down to the
cub reporter some one is forever
trying to make their station in life
just little bit better. They are the
best paid news carriers in Washing
ton. Their physical and moral well
fare Is ever looked after. During
the course Of q year, many in
structive entertainments are given
for their benefit. The best in life
n pointed out to them, and while
they are enrolled under the banner
Of The Washington Times and The
Washington Herald, they are taught
to cultivate the things worth while
and avoid those that would tend to
hinder their march toward the better
goals of life.
