ninety-first birthday this season, Is the
Oldest orchestra In the United States
and the second Oldest in the world. 1t
has a record Of performances unbroken
since 1912, the year in which 1t was
founded. No Philharmonic concert has
ever been Cancelled, and only two have
been poisoned in all these years. One
concert was shifted, owing to the death
of President Lincoln, and another was
postponed when the conductor, Anton
Seidel, died suddenly.
The president of the Philharmonic
Society (it only became the Philhar-
monic Symphony Society in May, 1928.
when it merged with the New York
Symphony Society for the first six
years Of its existence was U. c. Hill.
The U. C. stood for "Ureli Coreli" and
the late Henry E. Krehbiel suggested
that Hill had been given his middle
name in honor Of the great italian
NlOlullSU VI tllc SCNCllUCClltll SClltuiJy
but confessed that "Ureli' baffled his
ingenuity.
President Hill also conducted the
opening concert. given in the long since
forgotten Apollo Rooms on lower
Broadway, on December 7, 1912. There
were SO members in the organization
who, in accordance with the old GUS
tom, stood during the entire perform
ance. 1t is more significant, however,
that the initial program included Bee
thoven's Fifth Symphony" which Is
generally regarded as the keynote OF
symphonic music.
The concert would have struck q
modern music lover as odd in a num-
ber of details. The subscribers were
received at the door OF the concert
room by several members Of the or
chestra, selected by the board OF d.
rectors for their appearance and ad-
dress" and were escorted by them to
their seats. These ushers wore white
; gloves and carried long and slender
rods Of wood painted white as wands
of Office. This custom prevailed for
several years, but was finally suspended.

NHERE Is in Washington a group

"HERE Is In washington a group
, of boys who never received
music lesson in their homes, yet
who have organized one OF the
best bows bands in the city.
And they have never heard q sym
phony orchestra. During the coming
Season these boys will be given the op-
portunity of hearing the National SYM
phony orchestra as guests OF the Or
chestra management.
They are students at the NatlSaaaI aai
Training School for Boys. This schooi
has a 35-piece band. Not one member
of the band ever had 2 music lesson
than two years ago. The turnover IN
the personnel Of the band, due to the
short period that the boys stay at the
school, is 95 per cent every ~ months.
Yet they are the proud possessors OF q
big gold cup, which rests in little
trophy room in one Of the school build
irgs on Bladensburg road and WHICH
they won last June at the veterans
OF Foreign Wars Convention, at JUrtt, u2i, y
other bows bands Of the city. The cup
was the ffrst-prize award.
Until two years ago the band at the
school got along as well as 1t could
without any particular organization and
with little hope of competing In ABILITY
with bands made up Of boys who had
greater opportunity Of study and prac-
tice. ,
the band was organized into a band

began to improve.

of the school, said that desire on the
part of the student and simple tests as
to his aptitude decided the membership
of the band. Very few boys since the
band was organized ever had any mu-
sical instruction other than that which
they received after they entered the
school.
Some Of the boys knew one instru-
mert from another" he said, "but many
others had no idea Of them at all. They
didn't know a tuba from a trumpet.
For the last two years the bands
men have lived together and practice
every day. They have improved amaz-
ing1y, considering the handicap under
which the band operates and the short
ness of time that the boys serve as
members
The band forms q unit Of eight cot
tages and is under the instruction OF
Mr.. Villatico and the leadership OF Mr..
r. L. Jones Mrs. Jones organized the
dance band from the group led by her
husband. Needless to say, both groups
have brought many hours OF pleasure
to the other students.
Now these boys will be given the op-
portunity to hear the greatest there Is
in music, played as they never imag-
ined music could be played. They will
hear the greatest artists in the world
under the same conditions as the most
fortunate child in the District.
The project shows, in still another
way. the tremendous benefit that q
local symphony orchestra can be to its
community. Another set Of under
privileged children will hear the chill
drens concerts. under the auspices OF
Neighborhood House. These two bene-
fits, and there are many others, were
impossible when WASHINGTON was with
out its own orchestra, but had to de-
pend on visiting organizations for its
music.
Just how the tickets given the school
will be awarded the boys hasn't yet
been worked out, Col. Jones said. Some
sort of merit system will be worked
out. And there remains the problem Of
transporting the bandsmen to and
from the school. Col Jones Is hoping
some civic group will be able to assist
the school in this respect, and provide
either autos or q bus.

RED SOX REMEMBER

Babe Ruth's prospective entry into the worlds series arena for the tenth time since the days when he was star left-hander with the Red Sox seems once more to stir the current cup of sdepres- sion for Boston's American League entry.
 But there's not profit taking in memories nowadays and the mag mates will have to effect some manipulation this winter to save the Red Sox from dropping out of sigat altogether in league they once dominated.
 The talk that the great Ruth would be sent back to his old stamping grounds to manage the club and revive interest of Fen way Park seems to have faded.
 The American League might make it worth while for Colonel Jacob Ruppert to part with his most valuable, even if somewhat aging piece of ivory, but the Red Sox can't do it. The color of their stockings now is the same as the color of the ink on their books.

 It was the fourth inning of the fourth game of the 1918 world S series and Ruth, in three short years, mad become one of baseball's s greatest left-handed pitchers.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Sept. 19.- A general game plan to conserve and protect wild animals in AL aska will be placed in effect ul- timately, according to Panl c Redington, Chief of the United States Biological Survey, who is here enroute east after spending three weeks in the north.
 He added that the Federal Cow ernment in cooperation with the Alaska Game Commission and tn2 Forest service, has instituted d survey to determine the status Of the brown bear, particularly ch Admiralty Island near Juneau.
 From the survey that is expact- ed to be completed in about six weeks, the authorities expect to learn something of the population, and the rate of increase or de- crease in the brownies. He said the move to give bears more pro- lection is the beginning of what eventually will be satisfactory plan to control all of Alaska's ani- mals.
 MT. Redington said some Alas kans think the brownies should be eyterminated but most of them believe they are not dangerous enongh for such drastic action. He added that any future rules would be male only after full consid- eration of the attitude of the peo- pie of Alaska" <
