Attracted Wide Notice.
The singular beauty of the garden
last Summer, particularly the red
Radiance beds, where the bushes at
tanned a height of five or six feet
during the Fall and were conttnu-
ally covered with blossoms, excited
favorable comment last year from
all over the country. 1t is likely
that the hybrid tea roses in many
private gardens about the city also
suffered greatly from the cold wealth
er. They had begun to send out
shoots when the frost nipped them,
and consequently they are bound to
be later than usual in coming into
full bloom. These freezing days
probably did not injure the hybrid
perpetuals, which send out shoots
later, or the hardy climbers, but
Washingtonians who are experiment
ing with noisettes teas and climbing
teas suff cred badly.
The exceptionally beautiful Gamma
beds and the scarlet sage gardens
in the various parks will be dupli-

WILBUR CLEARS UP

Fleet Maneuvers in Hawaii
/ Are Mere Navy Routine.

Writing to the Washington repre-
sentative of a Japanese publishing
company, Secretary Wilbur has ex-
planned that the Pacific naval maneu-
vers are only routine training such
as is held annually by the Navy.
The letter was written to Kiyoshi
X. Kawakami, representative of the
Osaka Mainichi Publishing Co., who
,said he was under instructions from
his editorial Office to obtain a brief
statement from Mr.. Wilbur explain
ing the history of the projected naval
maneuvers at Hawaii"
To Clear Japanese Doubts.
Belief was expressed that "such a
statement will serve to clear the
doubts and suspicious which evidently
exist in many Japanese mind"
Replying, Secretary Wilbur. after
reiterating that the maneuvers and
the Australian cruise were a part
of a program planned four years
ago for training, called attention that
in 1921 the cruise was to South Amer.
, lea: in 1928, off Central America.
while last year it was in West Indian
waters.
Announced i'm 1923.
THE detailed schedule for this
cruise to Hawaii in 1926 was pre-
pared in the Spring of 1928, and was
publicly announced in the latter part
of 1928, when the Navy Department
announced its plans to Congress.

MUSIC
THE HARVARD GLEE CLUB.

The Harvard Glee Club, under the
direction of DR.. Archibald It. Dawson,
appeared in recital at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon and
sang a program of fine music We'll.
The audience was mucn smaller than
the importafice- of this organization
would have seemed to warrant, and,
perhaps because of the extremely en-
ervating weather, was also inclined
to be superficially enthusiastic. Even
so, the repetition of two numbers was
demanded and one encore, The
Psalm of Thanksgiving" an arrange
ment by DIR. Tn. Baker of an old
folk song of the Netherlands, was
given.
The program varied greatly in mood
of song and period. William Byrd
of sixteenth-century England rubbed
shoulders in this recital with Grech-
aninov, who is among the most inter
eSting of living composers, and Poulanc
of the French six" was sung just be-
fore Sir Arthur Sullivan, pompous
British leader of the school of polite
light opera. The works of two Eng
lish composers were the ones of which
repetition was demanded. They were
Sir Arthur's "March of the Peers, )"
from delightful "Iolanthe," and Now
Is the Month of Maying," by Thomas
Morley of three centuries ago.
The religious type of choral work
done by this glee club was particu-
larly impressive. 1t seemed sacri-
legious to applaud it. The opening
number was beautiful Ave Maria,
ascribed to Jacob Arcadelt, 1514-57.
These selections also included "Je-
rusalem," by Sir Charles Parry;
Byrds "iustorum Animae," Leisring' S
40 1Tilii of E'j1ia q" and an imDreSSiVe g
arrangement of the "Credo," by

accumulation OF Nickels and Dimes Gathered in 10
Months Hospital Cot Brings Happiness
in Way Not Intended.

During the long. fretful months that
Wayre Clark Smith, 10-year-old grand
son of Col. J. i. Clark, u. 5. A, re-
tired, lay propped in bed at Walter
Reed Hospital while undergoing treat
ment for a game leg" he found him
self rapidly accommodating a small
sized fortune in dimes and nickels.
Wayne was the sort of boy whose
good-natured smile in the face of su-
perhuman difficulties won friends. and
the friends seemed invariably to in
sist on leaving the crippled boy
bright, new coin as they departed.
Sometimes the newly won friends
were visitors, but generally they were
members of the strictly disciplined
military.
Leaves Hospital With Bank.
Wayne's accumulation of dimes and
nickelS began to get cumbersome. He
had no place to keep them. SO his
mother bought him metal bank, and
carefully he deposited his hoard into
the locked container. When he left
the hospital, not long ago, on the
road to recovery from a stubborn all
ment, he took his well filled bank with
him 10 his home in Lee Heights, Va.
Meanwhile Wayne had been doing
some fancy figuring on the basis of
the total capital in hand. He had
about set his mind on something
lust what it was he will not divulge-
when he overheard last night con-
versation in his home that caused him
to change his plans.
In the living room he heard
stranger, who turned out to be former
Commander r. Bleakley James of
Arlington County Legion Post. No. 139,
telling his mother about a drive for
widows and orphans now under way
in the county.
Hears Relief Plans.
Now, Wayne had several times ex-
perienced that orphan feeling" dur
ing the long hours at Walter Reed
when visitors were not allowed, and
he listened interestedly while the
legion representative told of the relief
plans for families of deceased ex-serv
ice men.
Then he slipped unnoticed from the
room. limped up the stairs to a GER
tain nook in his den above, and came
back with the heavy bank.
