FOR ARMY
BAND HIT

A severe blow was dealt the Army
Band by the disapprovel OF the war
Department of the proposal to estab
lish a permanent status for the band,
the idea of having a representative
hand being conceived by General
John Pershing before he retired froh
service.
The yearly cost of the present
organization of the band is $89,oIz. Az,
and under the proposals to enlarge
the band the additional cost OF main
tanning the Army Band would be
sos. s65. go. or a total expenditure or
SHIFTS. To carry out the proposals
to enlarge the Army Band and to
meet this increased yearly cost of
$23, S65. go, some increases in the
budget would be needed.
While the War Department recog-
nizes thar il is necessary to make
nroper provision for the Army Band,
the military budget win not permit
of the proposed increased activities
OF the Armyss musical organization
at the expense of more important
Army activities.
For the next fiscal year the pres
ent organization of the band will re.
main intact, but the hope has been
expressed in the Department that
the next fiscal year will be enlarged.

Mother love is truly glorified in the

the novel by Olive Higgins Prouty, at
the Columbia this week. Crowds at
| the theater filled even the standing
room at the opening yesterday Of this
picture. They were well rewarded
| with a, realistic, beautiful and touch

| Already "Stella Dallas" has been
playing to crowds in the larger cities
Of the country, where it has received
the plaudits of critics and public alike.
With a notable cast, directed by
| Henry King, this United Artists pro-
| duction move forward with smooth
| flowing continuity, with telling
strokes, weaving deftly humor, pathos,
tragedy and romance into a wonder
| full fabric.
Belle Bennett plays the principal
role, that of a mill town daughter Of
vulgarians striving to leave her rut.
She mar1'ies a. lawyer, eXcellently
played by Ronald Colman, as son of a
distinguished financier, but discovers,
as her lovely daughter grows to wom-
anhood, that her own gross manners
are "millstone" around the daugh-

paid to a horseman Of low breeding in
volve her in a social ostracism, and
eventually she allows her husband to
divorce her in order to give her daugh-
ter the opportunity of refinement and
| a future.
| Miss Bennett is admirable, playing
the role of lover, young wife and finally
disheartened, broken old woman. She
struts, preens, f1ourishes her gar
ishness in fine fettle, until the heart

daughters drawback. Lois Moran

Realizing a Vision.

1t is difficult for Washingtonians
who have so long contemplated with
distaste the slovenly conditions in the
heart of the city due to the de-
lay of the Government in executing it's
general plans for public building en-
placements along Pennsylvania ave
nue. to realize that the time of change
is at hand. It seems almost too good
o be true. 1t is something like the
Memorial Bridge project, that was ad-
vanced thirty years or more ago and
seemed to be an idle dream, so often
was it pigeonholed and defeated
through lack of agreement between
House and Senate. But at last the
bridge came, or rather it is now in
process of construction. and in very
few years it will be in service. Per-
traffic the great driveway of approach
to it will have been laid out in part
through the lands of the Mall-Avenue
triangle.
Depressing as have been the condi-
tions for the many years of waiting,
it is perhaps as we'll that the great
project has been postponed until the
present, for a higher ideal of architec.
tural construction prevails now than
at the time the plan to take all the
land was first advanced. During that
long period there has been decided
development. The whole question of
Capital improvement has been studied
thoroughly and to good effect.
AS the legislation looking to the
purchase of the Mall-Avenue lands is
shaped and pressed for action the pub
lie conception Of the eventual aspect
of the Capitals main highway be-
comes more distinct. An architects
drawing of the proposed grouping,
published in yesterdays Star, gave
broad view of the appearance of the

plated structures are finished. 1t did
not, however, include the northern
side of the Avenue in any detail SO
that there is left to the imagination

and one-half tons. One hundred pas
sengers can be carried and commodi-
Gus cabins are provided. Two cap
tains and twelve men will comprise
the crew.
Igor Sikorsky, designer and builder
of the ill-fated ship which crashed on
the take-off last Summer, announced
at the time of the accident that an
other machine would be built to make
the hazardous trip. Nothing more has
been heard about the new plane, how
ever, and it is uncertain whether an
attempt will be made next year in a
Sikorsky.
At any event it behooves America
TO get busy on the construction of
transatlantic ships. The men, the ma
terials and the ingenuity are here in
this country for long distance flying
and there appears to be no reason to
let some other nation walk away, or
fly away, with aviation honors.

Task of Prosecutor
In Hall Case Upheld
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your recent editorial entitled "Pil-
loried by the Law" presents the view
that the acquittal of the defendants in
the Hall-Mllls trial is "a severe In
dictment against those who brought
the accusation of murder against the
defendants" Is it a fair test of
whether q prosecution should have
been instituted to look merely at the
outcome of the trial and, if the de-
PENDANTS are acquitted, say that the
prosecution should never have been
undertaken?
If your view is correct, we would
necessarily reach the anomalous con-
clusion that trial must always pre-
cede an indictment. And 1t must in
evitably follow that criminals would
never be brought into court for trial.
For if we can only tell retrospectively
after trial whether a prosecution was
properly instituted, how will a crimi-
nal case ever get before a court of
Justice?
Surely, your position is not a fair
one. When the public prosecutor, in
good faith and with probable cause,
has. to the best of his ability, prose
cuted an action to Judgment, he has
fulfilled his duty to the State; and the
fact that the action terminated in
favor OF the defendant does not change
the character of the service rendered
by the prosecutor or hold him up to
public condemnation.
