Guard of the Free State.
Brig. Gen. washington Bowie

General Smiles at Taunt
Members of the reviewing group
sensed a delicate" situation as
the First Infantry passed before
General Bowie and its band played
THE Old Gray Mare" a ditty
for which General Bowie'S hatred
has become classic in the his
toric brigade.
It was recalled that, during the
brigade's border service, the First
Infantry band played the piece so
often that wnen General Bowie
became colonel of the neighbor-
ing Fifth he once threatened to
put the bandmaster 'in the brig"
if he played the tune again. Gen.
eral Bowie only smiled at the
parting taunt, however, and the
tenSeness passed.
Virginia's governor presented
General Waller, wartime COM
mander of the famous 116th In
fantry, with the Distinguished
Service medal of the State be-
fore the Virginia brigade unit Of
the division passed in review.
Both the Maryland and Vir-
ginia brigades encamped in their
own States before moving on to
Pennsylvania where the two
weeks encampment of the tri-
state division will be held.

TALMADCE GIVEN
 WORST DEFEAT

Hamilton, Ga, March 12-(UP)-- President Roosevclt's supporters cheered and adherents of Gov. Eugene Talmadge scoffed today at results of a Harris county prcferen- tial primary in which MT. Roosevelt ran Up 40-l majority over his chief Dixie critic.
 The primary binds no Georgia delegates to the democratic na- tional convention to vote for MT Roosevelt, but was hailed by his supporters as proof of statewide disapproval of Talmadge's hostility to the president.
 Unofficial returns from 12 Of l4 precincts gave MT. Roosevelt 1887 votes, Gov. Talmadge, 35.
 Talmadge declared himself during the recent Macon, Ga, grass roots" convention as a candidate for the presidential nomination.
 The primary was called by the county democratic organization without publicity. Returns came in slowly because of the inadequacy of tabulating facilities, but Cochran district, near Chipley, Ga, was re- garded as typical of the total vote with l83 for Mir. Roosevelt, 6 for Talmadge.

PRESIDENT TO
 HAVE VACATION
Will Go Away This Month to Prepare for Very
 Hard Campaign
By FREDERICK A. STORM United Press White House
 ftmrrAaunnflAnA

Washington, March l2.--(UP)- President Roosevelt sped up admin istration work today, eager to get of within & week for a spring vaca- ton. He will use the new presidcn- tial yacht Potomac, rather than Vim cent Astors yacht Nourmahal, on which he cruised on previous spring vacations. As before, MT. Roosevelt has chosen Florida waters. He will fish and rest in preparation for ono of the toughest political campaigns of his career.
 Probable Itinerary
 While the White House was silent regarding the presidents itinerary, 1t is known he tentatively has schcd- ulcd his departure from Washing ton for March 10, with one-day stop at Warm Springs, Ga, before moving to @ Florida port for em- barkation.
 He is expected to stop briefly in Winter Haven, Fla, where he will receive an honorary degree from Rollins college. From the college his special train will carry him to the cast coast, probably to Jacksonville, where the Potomac will be waiting with two escort dcstroyers.
 Jump into Fight
 On his return north the president will be ready to jump into the thick of the political fight. Already he has arranged for two April speaking en- gagements. one in Baltimore and the other in New York City. The Baltl- more address will be before the Maryland Young Democrats. His New York remarks will be to the na . tional Democratic club at an annual Jefferson Day dinner.
 With congress expected to be out of the way in May, MT. Roosevelt plans to attend to the Texas centen- nial celebration at Dallas about June l.
 At Home of Robinson
 On the homeward swing he will stop in Arkansas, the home of Sen ator Joe r. Robinson, majority leader, in Indiana and Kentucky. In Indiana he will take part in the dedication of the Lewis and Clark memorial at Vincenncs.
 From then until the campaign reaches It's crest in the fall, the president will 1t was assumed, divide his time between Washington and the summer White House at Hyde Park, M Y.

BAND CONCERTS
 PROVE POPULAR
Experiment With St. Fran cis School Children
 Goes Over Big

According to a statement by Will liam Derwin of the park depart- ment, who is time handling the schedule of WPA band concerts and string ensemble, the new idea of having these concerts in various school halls and gymnasiums in the city has proven very popular. In the future, 1t is believed, the WPA or- ganization will give many of these concerts and to date several engage mentS have been listed.
 Irving w. Harrison, superintend- ent of parks, is supervisor of WPA music projects in the city and both the band and the string ensemble have been handled through the re- creation branch of the park depart fnent since the project was first sponsored by the EZRA.
 The band concert idea for the school children was eXperimented with several days ago at St. Frar"'s parochial school. It was so success full from every standpoint tL.V C--.- cials at the school asked for another concert. Next Monday afternoon, the band will give an after school con- cert for the Bunker Hill student body in the school gym at 3:3o o'clock. On the following day, St. Patrick's day, a concert will be given at the Sacred Heart school hall for the pupils Of that institution at the same hour.
 The WPA band Is comprised of 37 men under the able direction of Mr. Cosmo Vendetti, and will be avail able for all such affairs If applica- tioa is made to MT. Derwin. The concerts usually run from an hour to en hour and Q half, the program including famous marches, descrip- tiycs such as the Death of Custer" " and also popular tunes in which the children join in the singing. The song leaders with the band arc Miss Ann Egan, a member of the WPA recreation staff, and Mir. Thomas Coilela, 8 member of the band.
 Tho WpA string ensemble will play its first school engagement at the Bunker Hill school Monday after noon March 23rd at 3:30 D. m. A string orchestra has been organized among the pupils at the school and the WPA ensemble concert will tend to serve as c stimulus to the young- sters interested in this line of en- deavor.

Controversial Fix May Be Determined
 By Officials To-day
Youngsters Probably Will Be Allowed to Remain in Present HOmes-FOur Brought Into Court Yester-
 day; Authorities DepIore Proposed Transfer

despite the move instituted in city court yesterday to temporarily" place them in the county home.
 Four children were brought into court yesterday at the request of county commissioners who asked for "a court order transferring them from private homes where they are now being boarded to the county homo. This procedure, 1t was eX- plained, is made necessary by the recently-enacted law under which the state welfare department as- sumes most of the costs of caring flor dependent children.
 Climax Reached
 The matter was brought to a head by the city's application for the as- sistance extended to other commu- mites and the commissioners came here yesterday to make what they declared was the necessary adjust- ment.
 Public and private welfare au- thoritlcs this morning, reluctant to be quoted, deplored the proposed JThIlnlcEo hb hh VutbJuAiuAhb VN0hPAV of unnecessary red tape.
 Judge Edward Mascolo, touched by tears of the youngsters at yes- terday's court session, continued the cases for two weeks in order that some more desirable settlement of the problem might be reached. It was thoroughly discussed at private conference of city officials and rep- resentatives of the state after the session and 1t is understood 1t will come back before the state welfare board for definite action today.
 Transfers Unexpected
 When the city asked to be relieved of the cost of caring for the children, 1t was explained by Prosecuting Attorney John D. Thoms, 1t was not expected that any such transfer would be necessary. A representa- tive of the state welfare commission, sent here yesterday with the county commissions said state law rec quired that the children be first ac- cepted by the county home, and then transferred to private homes after inyestigation,

EAGLE CITATION FOR BROWNSTE|N
Mattatuck Council An- nOunCes Award-Other
 Boy Scouts Advanced

Jack Brownstein of troop % was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at a meeting of the Mattatuck Council court of honor held last night at headquarters. It was pointed out at the scout office this morning that there are only about half-dozen of these awards given out each year at the local council.
 Inorder to attain this honor a scout must receive no less than 2l merit badges and these in specified subjects. The late "Chief" Arthur R. Marston once claimed that a scout who had worked up to being an Eagle" had accumulated knowledge equivalent to that of the the ordinary college freshman. Inas- much as Brownstein is only in high school, this is no ordinary accom- plishment.
 At yesterdays meeting Henry F. Kleis was awarded the rank of life
 scout, 8 rank which necessitates receiving 10 merit badges, and Charles ninaldi, who has gained 5 merit badges, was given the rank of star scout. Both of these boys arc members of troop 10.
 Other scouts who received awards are listed as follows:
 Bird study, Michael Pettinicchi and Antonio Guastaferri; civics, Roy Lockhart and Robert Pierson, of troop 3, and Antonio Guastaferri, and Michael Pettinicchi of troop l6; electricity, Robert Pierson of troop 3; pioneering, Antonio Guas- taferri and Michael Pettinicchi; swimming, Roy Lockhart.
 Members of the court present were Herbert s. Root, Allen H. Boardman, Harold G. Manning and Carl c. Gulliver.
