 There is something about Lieut. Commander John Philip Sousa--an inn ponderable magnetism, to quote MA Sheppard Butler, of the Chicago Trib- une-which sets him apart from the ordinary, or, if you please, extraordi- nary bandmasters of the world. He plays upon his organization as an art ist might play upon a great organ. When an individual is able to cause eighty-five men, playing brass and reed instruments, to play an accom- painment to the human voice in such a manner as Mir. Sousa did last night, it is cause for remarks. Sousa is evil dently to the manor born, musically speaking, and has so far surpassed all his contemporaries as to make com parisons odious."
 In the magnificent Masonic auditor iu Sousas band will be heard at it's best at today's matinee and evening performance and those who haven't al- ready made reservations will find good seats still available at Clarke and Jones, 1913 Srd avenue, until noon and later at the Masonic auditorium.

HOME COMING
 WEEK AT LYRIC
Naylor's Seven Aces, Birmingham Nationally Known Orchestra, !
 On Bill As Added Attraction

Homecoming week opens at the Lyric Monday afternoon, and patrons are promised celebration that is worthy of the title. Because in addi-, tion to five special acts of big-time Keith vaudeville, there is asspecial at traction in the appearance of Naylor's Seven Aces, Birmingham's own or. rhestra, which is back home after what amounts to a triumphal tour
 1Naylor's Seven Aces are now zfia- tionall yknown through their phono- graph records made for the Senet com pany, and nov listed as among their best selling orchestral selections Be sides recording these numbers, the orchestra played for big dances at Princeton; Yale. University of Virginia, and other places.
 The headliner on the regular bill is offered by Dane Clandius and Lillian Scarlet in 4'Melody As Is and Was" They are well known stars of vaude- ville, offering group of the old familiar songs in way that is said to besde-1 cidedly their own.
 / The added attraction is . big dancing number called "Steppin' Fools" with Helen Morgan, assisted by Mildred Mol lenteur, Lew Oberman, Bobby Roberts and Kitty White, in series of twists, taps and twirls.
 The special feature presents famous monologist, Ed E.. Ford, from Australia, under the title of ''The President of the Face Trust" He tells stories and ex- hibits the art of pantomine, and he is said to do both as they have never been done before.
 Rounding out the bill are Robert Gehan and Marjorie Garretson in Classical Syncopation," an original in- depreciation, and Bert Melrose and Betty Brooks in Scotch With Kick" combination of gymnastics and humor.

 of Washington Portray

into paradise and the April breeze filings their petals like confetti on those who pass that way. Under the roof of Justice Holmes abides Boston's best traditions, with culture miles deep and literary atmos- phere and all the surroundings that make high-brow feel at home. Mrs. Holmes is af intellectual woman and absolutely without personal vanity. No woman with spark of it would do her hair in the Holmes way-a little knob screwed up at. the back of one of the best brains in Washington.
 Then there is Mrs. Lous Brandeis- easily one of thes most outstanding ladies of the supreme court group. She is handsome, with great dark eyes, good complexion, and snow white hair. And she carries herself we'll. Why shouldn't she? Isn't she one of the Goldmarks, the family that has given Pauline and Josephine Goldmark to the world besides Mrs. Brandeis. Here is a justifiable pride She was active in suffrage work. She has two daughters, both good feminists.
 No Jazz In Brandeis Home
 Running true to tradition, Susan Brandeis worked for suffrage after she graduated and she is now practicing law in New York. You know Elizabeth IS executive secretary of the minimum wage commission of the District of Columbia. When the minimum wage law in the district was declared uncon- stitutional, by a local court, it went to the supreme court. There was keen speculation as to what Judge Brandeis would do and how he would vote. But he declined to sit. He had previously argued similar case and his sym pathies were we'll known. He calls it matter of ethics. But think the labor people say it was mere etiuuette.
 The Brandeis home is not, the storm center of the socially elect. If you want your Washington all jazzed np you don't go there. It is the socially minded peOple-men and women who care, how the other half live, and why they don't live longer and more happily these are the people you meet. They are interesting men and women: wl,en they speak you may not agree with them but their remarks are we'll worth listen ing to.
 Lion hunting isn't a Brandeis pas- time but the really big game generally get around to their preserve sooner or later. Of course, you find people who try to sneak up in the night and hang red flag over the door. Cochinal isn't brewed in the cellar. The reddest thing in the Brandeis household is the warm glow of human sympathy and Understanding.
 And then there are the Sutherlands. who come from Utah! Yes, they are gentiies. That is the first question asked about the newly-arrived from Utah. After Senator Sutherland re tired from the Senate they left Wash ington. It has grown a big city since then and the war has made many changes. Supreme court justice is a life job, and I think the Sutherlands are preparing to dig themselves in comfortably and we should feel their presence in society.

ROAD TO SPEND
 s5,OO0,OOO ON LINE
 TO BIRMINGHAM
Central Of. Georgia Will Improve Road To
 Columbus

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 22.-(Spe- cial )-Announcement of the expendi- turc of $5,0OO,000 by the Central of Georgia railroad was made here today by L. A. Downs, president of the road. The route between Birmingham, Ala, and Columbus, Ga, is the stretch which will receive the major part of the ex- pehditure for improvements.
 Eliminating dangerous crossings and strengthening out curces are the chief improvements to be made.
 The gist of President Downs state ment is as follows:-
 Downs Statement
 ssThe Central of Georgia railway will expend approximately $5,O0O, ,00OO on the improvements of it's line between Birmingham and Columbus, Ga. The work will consist of rebuilding of the line and the revision of grades, busi- ness out of Birmingham having in- creased to such volume during recent years as to make this large expenditure advantageous.
 IA feature of the construction will be the elimination of 40 highway grade crossings and two railroad crossings. Eighty-three curves will be done away with, increasing thereby, the. comfort of passenger travel. The distance at present from Birmingham to Columbus is 160 miles and the new line will re- duce the distance four miles.
 Soon To Start
 1sThe maximum grade for eastbound traffic will be one-half of one per cent Work will begin as soon as possible. The contract will probably be let about April 1. The completion of the work will require about IS months. Most of the work will be done between Oak Mountain and Opelika, Ala, all towns now on the line will remain on the new line"

 Supreme Court Wives
 So many have come from Main street, but not Mrs. William Howard Taft. The dust of Cincinnati's Main street had been left behind at the mud-pie age and before she was out of her teens she had learned the ways of social Washington with its barb wire enclo- sures and red tape entanglements. She didn't climb the wire fence but as White House guest during the Hayes administration she walked in the front door. She was Helen Heron then, and her father was the law part ner of Rutherford E. Hayes.
 Law ran in both families. A superior court judge in Cincinnati at twenty nine! That's what happened to Taft, and his wife didn't altogether like it.. Of course she was immensely proud but she seemed afraid that contrast with older men and the serious side of life would rob him of his youthful buoyancy. If you cauld hear him laugh today you would realize it was a false alarm. N
 After her husbands election to the presidency, Mrs. Taft seemed to retire from politics and was submerged in fur bishing and furnishing the White House. I have an idea that the con- tents of the attic was greatly increased after her advent.
 What! Haven't you heard of the famous attic?L My dears, it's perfect treasure house of antiques. Old four posters and rare pieces discarded by the new-coming Presidents to make way for modern designs. No woman living but who would love to rummage in it !!
 Let me see, think it is Hiram John- son, senator from California, who has bought that elightful old manor house outside the district boundary. It was in a shocking state of repair, they be- gan to reinstate it's ancient dignity. But one old fireplace was missing and a ghastly modern mistit shrieked its i'm cCngruity to high heaven. It was q long search then one day an old gar dener or janitor or something about the capitol, by chance, hearing of the sena- tors dilemma, offered an old fireplace that had long ago been discarded from the White House as junk. assure you, it is veritable treasure.
 Her Music Draws Opponents
 Mrs. Taft's outstanding personal ac- complishment is her gift for music. I believe that Victor Berger came near apostasy to the socialist party because of the lure of this music, which accom- panied the gracious hospitality of the White House.
 Long after Mrs. Taft's music is silenced and the keys of her beloved piano are mute, the cherry blossoms on the speedway will keep fragrant her memory. The trees are a gift from Japan during the Taft regime and the planting of them in alternate odd and even groups was made at the sugges- tion of the Japanese government, so that message of felicitation and greet ing accompanying the trees would be spelled out ymbolicaIly.
 Whatever the message may be, these gay, pink blossoms turn the speedwav
