When asked to tell us something
about the boyhood picture, Marty
said:
LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY"
'Well, my dad died in 1897 so the
picture must have been taken in
1896 or 95. I have a hazy recollec-
tion about it. It seems there was
a theatrical company playing Little
Lord Fauntleroy' in the neighbor-
hood, so my dad became smitten
with the idea that the little lords
suit would look good on me, so he.
rented the suit and took me down
to the photographer.
! LAS you can see, the suit looks
a little tight under the arms, like
I got into it with a shoe-horn. It
also appears from the look on my
puss, I didn't like the idea too much
either Well, we came out of the
photographer and one of the
neighbor's kids saw me and yelled
Marty is a sissy. Il hauled off and
let go with my right, and there l
was, flat on my back in the gutter
well, of course in those days there
were plenty of horses anyhow, my
dad had to buy the suit-so he took
me home Ct shoulda thrown that
cane away and I got into my Tegu-
lar clothes-I mean sweater and
pants (no shoes or stockings) We
we're years ahead of rationing. and
I went back looking for that kid.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The enterprising group of young
people who engineered the 1880
concerts by the National Symphony
last season with so much success
have planned an ambitious series
for this winter, the first program
of which was given last night at
Constitution Hall.
Whatever the age or experience
of those attending, their enthusiasm
was high for the varied program
DR.. Kinder presented and for the
soloist, James Melton, tenor.
In a short talk preceding the first
performance of Paul CreSton' S
Chant, 1912" DR.. Kinder said the
committee had decided to include
on each program one composition by
contemporary composer. He ask
ed the audience to listen with an
open mind, for that was the best
service, he said, that could be Of
fered composer He also gave the
audience permission to boo or hiss,
insisting only that a frank opinion
be expressed. The series of concerts
will feature American artists as
Soloists. he said.
"Chant" Makes Impression.
Mr.. Crestons Chant made a
decided impression, to judge from
the applause and the complete lack
of adverse comment. The young
composers work justifies its success,
for its foundation Of sincere and
deeply felt emotion is poured OUT
with an inspiration that reveals his
deepest reactions toward events,
shared" as he said in a program
note, no doubt by many" While
patterned in its tonality, harmonies
and effects on the style adopted by
and built up to
climax similar to that of the first
of the latter's Seventh
Symphony with its continuous
the truth of its express
sion bars any suggestion of imi-
tation. Mr.. Creston is a master
craftsman in orchestral writing. His
Chant, 1912" will remain a note
worthy work born Of war.
Artist Shows Progress.

offered, 'Dalla sua pace" from Don

and Fair from THE Magic Flute. y

and the Prize Song" from Wagner's

artists progress in style of broader
dimensions.
His voice, of exceptional quality
and sweetness, should be a great
value in opera for it has both carry
ing power and expression. The pro-
duction last night was not so smooth
as it could have been. and Mr.. Mel
tons rendition of the high tones
was somewhat labored. These draw
backs, however, did not diminish
his reception from the audience.
Rimsky-Korsakoff's beautiful SYM
phonic suite, "ScheheraZade," with
its many solo passages for Individual
instruments, particularly the violin,
played by Millard Taylor, and DR..
Kindler's arrangement for orchestra
of the Bach-Vivaldi Concerto

orchestral numbers.

Extended Dog Quarantine
Urged for MONTGOMERY

recommendation that the Mont
gomery County dog quarantine be
extended to the entire county was
made last night by DR.. V. L. Eli
colt, county health officer, after
reports that seven rabid dogs and
one rabid cat had been captured
last week.
The quarantine now includes the
metropolitan and Sandy Spring
areas Of the county.
DR.. Ellicott said rabid dogs were
reported last week in the River
road section of Bethesda, in Alta
Vista, in the Rockville section, in the
Germantown and Boyd sections
Glen Echo and Takoma Park. A
rabid cat was reported in Garrett
Park.
This represents spread of the
infection beyond the suburban area
in some cases. DR.. Ellicott said,
land it is recommended that the
quarantine be extended throughout
the entire county. Owners in these
areas are urged to keep dogs
securely tied or, preferably
penned.'

Maryland Prepares
Income Tax Forms
Allowing 50 PET. Cut
1y the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 27.-NeW
State income tax forms stipulatine
that a so per cent reduction is al
lowed to Maryland taxpayers are
being printed and will be ready fol
mailing on January /, 1914, Gov
O'Conor announced today.
The reduction of one half, changed
from the previous allowance of 33ta
per cent, represents total saving
of s4,8l5,ooO, Gov. O'Conor ex-
planned.
Altogether it will benefit 100000
individuals" the Governor added
since this number is the estimated
number of persons in Maryland who
pay income taxes to the State"
Since the reduction was author
lied last month by the Board OF
Public Works, Gov. OConor de-
clared that the slash was justified
and the fiscal affairs Of the State
are now such that no impairment
will result from this return to the
taxpayers"
The income tax reduction will ap-
ply to individual returns and brings
the tax rate down TO l per cent. In
1889 the return was 212 per cent,
subsequently reduced to 2 per cent
The first payment for Maryland
State income taxpayers is due not
later than April IS, 1914, the Gov
ernOr said.
Further decreases on zeal estate
taxes are planned, Gov. O'Conor
stated. The present rate is u cents,
the lowest in 80 years in the State.
The reduction in real estate taxes
was attributed by the Governor to
the reduction of bonded indebted
ness of Maryland. In 1889 this in
debtedness was S48, 100000, while at
present the bonds aggregate $31,-
