Plea of Colored Woman for $5,000 'Eles of Well Known Folk i In Social and Official Life Secretary Good of War Department tof Assist in Breaking Ground for Valley Forge Military Academy. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. ] ‘The Secretary of War, Mr. James W. Good, and the chief of staff, Gen. Charles P. Summerail, will on May 1| E)urnry to Wayne, Pa., to assist at the | reaking of ground for the Valley Forge Military Academy. Wayne, | named in_honor of the dashing Gen. | Anthony Wayne of revolutionary fame, | adjoins the sacred ground of Valley | Forge, and the new military school| will cover the ancestral acres where | the gallant cavalry leader was born, | A Colonial village will be constructed | to house the various edifices needed for an educational project for which more than $1.000,000 has been raised by subscription in the Keystone State. In. | dependence Hall and the old City Hall, 50 familiar in Philadelphia, will rise | in miniature to serve as offices and | combined library and museum. The! Chew mansion at Germantown, near which the battle bearing that title was fought, will serve as the commandant's home, while the modest little domicile | of Betsy Ross will be reproduced as| a news and tobacco stand. Scholastic | buildings proper will follow well known | historic types in Pennsylvania erected | before or soon after 1776. William | Penn House and Carpenter’s Hall, much | enlarged, will serve as dormitories. This military academy, founded about and perhaps soldiers in the heroic ideals | which inspired Washington and his | Army at Valley Forge. Maj. Milton | G. Baker of Philadelphia has been chosen to be the first commandant. He is a member of the board of man- | agers and governors, which includes | Pennsylvania’s most_eminent financiers | and business men. The building opera- | tions will presumably require three | years. | o & ] | President Hoover, although better | known in many ways than as a mu- | sician or patron of that divine art, is | nevertheless deeply. interested in the | national contest of school bands to be | held May 17-18 at Iowa City in his native State. In certain sections of the | republic school band contests divert a tention even from the oratorical com. petitions which now are in progress all over the United States, because organ- | izing wayward youth into musical units | seems to answer the querulous ques- tion of, how to control it. Although | barely three years old this organization | numbers nearly 50,000 members, and | the contest in’ Jowa City will be the | third national event. From its incep- tion the school movement has flourished in Iowa, and it has been entirely due to the earnest co-operation of the public | school authorities that the bands have | this year added orchestras to their ac- | tivities. One of the judges of the two events wiil be John Philip Sousa, dean ©of American bandmasters. These juve nile musicians are chosen entirely from | high schools, and this coming year the organization will take on an interna- tional aspect in that Canadian high | school students have been invited to| the fourth contest to be held in 1930. | * ox % % The former Vice President has since | leaving Washington been restored to | his military rank and all the British grandson nearly a dozen times removed of the associate of Revere, who aroused the farmers and had them ready to fire that shot which echoed round the world. Britons also admire Longfellow, notwithstanding the verdict of the new school that he was no poet at all, but merely a rhymester, as all who read personal papers of Thomas Bayard, first Ambassador_sent to London, and his successor will discover Walter Hines Page sent to his book firm for an en- larged and illustrated copy of the Cam- bridge’s poet works in order to answer all the questions asked about Hiawatha, and the “Tales of the Wayside Inn.” * K %k x Sir Thomas Lipton’s lovi sterling silver, surmounted fully poised figure of vict the ‘torch of knowledge, has arr this country and has been placed in the custody of the Brooklyn Sea Scout committee. The veteran yachtsman has presented this trophy to be awarderd each year to the sea scout craft of Brooklyn which accomplishes the most useful work for the community. Mr. Frederick Trubee Davison, Assistani Secretary of War for Aviation, and Mr. Richard Newcombe, president of th: Queens Council in Greater New York, have acted an intermediarics to obtain from the War Department permission for the Boy Scouts of the Queens Council to use Camp Upton military reservation which adjoins their camp on the Wading River, New York. Thomas Lipton during several visits to | | ihis section was impressed with the fine work done by these Scouts in hiking, in nature study and in a knowledge of woodcraft. Camp Upton and the National Park cf the same name are | in Suffolk County and Wading River pours into Long Island Sound at the point where the Scout Boat Club has been located. The new camp for the boys will be called in honor of Mr. Newcombe and the award of the Lip- ton trophy next Autumn will be mad- by the Assistant Secretary of War for Aviation, Mr. Davison. * k ok * Mrs. Vincent Astor, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbuilt, jr., Mrs. Thornton Wilson and Mrs. Otto F.

This Government, although co-operating so heartily in the His- panio-American Exposition which opened the middle of April in Seviile, is not officially represented in Barce- lona. But Barcelona is one of the great centers of Spanish population d the industrial exposition there will be visited by thousands who will not see the more resiricted one in Seville, and & number of prominent women from this country are co-operating with Mrs. Astor’s committee in sending spe- cial treasures for their benefit.

The journey from London to the heart of the Indian em- pire will be by a combination train, motor boat and airplane. The journey | from London to Basle, Switzerland, will be in the regular tri-engined plane in the passenger service. From Basle to Genoa by night train and from Genoa via Egypt and the Red Sea a high-powered speclally constructed all- metal air boat, with as roomy and comfortable cabins as those on the waves, will convey the travelers to the Persian Gulf where a change will be made to the fast airplanes which have been operating in this section for the pest two years. In these planes the last stage of the journey wiil be made. The first trip is scheduled for May 30, and the capacity Is 40 passengers. Nearly two-thirds of those booked are Americans who have been watching for months for the completion of this e traordinary _service. Something a. proaching $3,000 is asked for this an- nihilation of time, for ordinerily the journey means three weeks unless the hardest sort of travel is undertaken, with connections made by motor cars in the Arablan desert to catch the first ! boat from Aiden. * * % % ‘The Prince of Wales does not an! try ideas to the exclusion of urban interests, he has consoled himself by | buying a dairy farm on the banks of {the Trent and within sight of the plc- | turesque towers of Nottingham.
