We've known--we OF the outside
world 1.-THE excellence OF the Naval
Academy Band, for its concerts
have been one OF the features OF
the June Week ait the academy,
when they play daily and evening
concerts.
Admiral Mutton has consented
that the band be used for the plIr-
pose Of entertaining the public, in
order that the world at large might
know and hear tie kind 1of music
the midshipmen have at their drills
and their social affairs.
They have never before appeared
before the public except when CO..
nected with Naval Academy enter
tainm6nts. This band Is used ex-
clusive1y for the drills, the sports.
the social and daily concerts within
the Naval Academy itself.
The music will be standard com
positions Of the old and the new
composers.
we In Washington know the
ranking bands OF the Army, tbs
Navy and the Marines, because
they are a part Of our musical life
here.
The United States Naval Acad-
It's members are not even midship-
men. but are enlisted men Of the
Navy. The hand has been commits
stoned since 1910. Before that time
the men were civilians.
Rah! Uncle Sans Music Tars
Now, there is a further incentive
for a boy. who is interested in
music. to make" Annapolis. know
ing that he may continue his train
ing there.
instruction is given the Naval
Academy embroy bandsmen before
they enter the Annapolis Band, at
the music school of the Navy Yard
at Norfolk. That fact was news
to me.
As is the case in the ranking
service bands, here in Washington.
the academy bandsmen are often
selected because they have mas
tered two instruments, an orches-
trail instrument and one for the
hand.
They are called upon to play in
varying sized groups. They are
also asked to make up dance or
chestras and orchestras for indoor
concerts.
Mr.. Peterman, who is to conduct
the ''air' concerts, entered the serv-
ice in 1901.
He has had number of honors,
through his accomplishments as 81
musician. For he is gifted violin
list and also plays the piano very
well.
HOnOrs for Lieut.. PeteFnlan
He was chosen to lead the band
Of the u. s. S. Illinois, when it
made a trip to Europe during the
ceremonies of the coronation of the
late King Edward of England. He
was later appointed chief musician
OF the Naval Music School at Nor
folk, where he massed band or
about 200 pieces
Mr.. Peterman was also appointed
band master of the Presidents
yacht. the u. S. s. Mayflower. dur
ing the administrations of Presidents
Taft. Wilson and Harding. In 1921
he received the appointment as band
leader of the United States Naval
Academy band, which assignment
he has held ever since.
So, although we may not see the
nifty, special uniforms OF the Naval
Academy band, we may keep time
to their music in the near future.
All over the United States, and be-
yond, we will be drawn nearer the
activities of "our boys" who make
the United States Navy, because
Admiral Mutton grants the public"
this privilege, via radio.

Academy band fortnight from to-

Said the miner 10 his mule, "I've
been a doggone fool,
All out of luck this time / struck.
They've used me something cruel.
You can say what you please, but
people didn't freeze;
They bought their coke, went on to
stoke,
And so my strike was cheese"
"In days that used to be the folks
on Bonded knee
With fearful eye would beg and cry
And even pray to me.
But it was my delight their budding
hopes to blight;
Though they CONCEALED / would not
yield
And mine some anthracite"
"But when / strike today they
don't give me play,
They fill their bins and toast theil
shins
Tn any other way.
] tell them of my woes, they simply
thumb the nose:
They take their ease, it's I thai
freeze
And shiver in my clothes"
"And so I couldn't stick. The whole
thing makes me sick.
And now I'm here, my mulcy dear
A-swinging of my pick.

my coat.
The sort of strike that / dislike
Is one where Pm the goat"

made an advance statement OF ways
and means that IN his view Will
most enecrlvely reouce hlghw2 y uan-
gers to lite and property. Mr..
Dabcock advocates:
Holding every driver to strict
accountability for his conduct on
public thoroughfares- empnasizing
individual responsibility with blan-
ket law carrying heavy penalties for
all infractions of the rights of
others or the public.
Universal adoption of the prin-
ciple, among others, that any veh-
icbe which cannot be brought to
full stop in the clear space ahead
is being recklessly operated.
Repeal of present regulations,
particularly speed limitations, found
to lack necessary aexibility to fit the
large number of situations and
tending to create disrespect for law.
| Continuation of newspaper pub
licity toward promoting highway
safety, institution of juvenile traffic
courts in schools, stiffening of pen
alties for reckless minority in
regular courts, and other moves to
keep safety constantly in the minds
of adults and children.
Repeal many of the so-called
safety statutes and ordinances
which are falling far short of the
mark, put every driver practically
on his own responsibility for the
safety of the lives and limbs of
Others and their property while on
the streets and highways" said Mr..
Babcock, land big forward step
will be taken in a problem If vital
public Importance.
Laws fail because they do not
meet greatly differing conditions
and therefore do not command gen.
eral respect and obedience. They
unduly hamper the law abiding in
many instances and are paid no
heed by the comparatively small
percentage of drivers they are most
intended to reach. Too many laws
too little observance. One uni
versal statute subject to bread in
depreciation and placing rigid re-
sponsibility on the driver under
stiff penalties, if rigidly enforced,
in my opinion would go furtherest
toward solving the problem of men,
aces to highway safety.
tSet speed limitations should first
be wiped out because they cannot
be made sufficiently fexible-a 20
mile pace may be more dangerous
than 45-mile rate under other con-
ditions. Reasonable speed is to be
encouraged both in the interest of
safety and toward reducing traffic
congestion"
MIR. Babcock declared against lax
enforcement of laws and said THAI
whatever recommendations rlay be
reached must carry ample machinery
for rigid enforcement.

DULUTH GAMES
TO BE PLAYED.

If the Arrowhead Hockey associa-
ton wants to end the season on an
even financial basis, the patronage
from the two Duluth-Ranger hockey
games, tonight in Hibbing and to-
morrow night in Eveleth, must be
capacity houses.
The two contests are the last two
of four remaining contests and in
dications are that the series will de-
eide whether or not the Rangers
will be in the playoff and if they
are in the final classic, what their
chances against Duluth will be.
Every effort is being made to have
both crowds the biggest of the year.
Advertising matter is going out all
over the range, in the hopes that
every hockey fan will make it an
effort to be in attendance.
AS the last two games of the sea-
SON do not come until late in March,
there is every possibility that the
Duluth games will be the last played
