Agencies of the American Red Cross | and District Boy Scouts are co-op- erating to furnish the Washington vicinity with a greatly improved sys- tem for the saving of life along the Potomac River and at various water- ing places this Summer. Half a hundred Sea Scouts, an or- ganization of Boy Scouts, will be avail- able each evening and on Saturdays and Sundays for patrol work along the Potomac under supervision of thm! adult leaders, C.

Mr. Longfellow, widely known for his work in teaching swimming, life- saving and safety methods to boys organizations, yesterday made knows | the program ' the District of Columbia hapter of the Red Cross will follow this Summer in safeguarding lives at beaches and swimming pools. The chapter is providing a full-time life- saving and first-aid instructor, who will conduct classes at local pools and bathing places, beginning June 15. Ben Gamage, an_expert in the work, has been engaged. ‘Twelve first aid stations will be established on the water front. These stations will be inspected regularly by river patrols made up of members of the Rad Cross life-saving service. sup- plemented by crews of sea scouts. A sea sled is to be added to the life-saving fleet of boats available during the Sum- mer. Scouts will man the sea sled. maintaining contact with the first aid stations and the harbor police. | Scouts Being Organized. ‘The sea scouts are being organized intensively under Mr. Talley's direction for the first time. The group is made up of older boys in thr‘xBuy Scouts and Talley hopes that in a few years several hundred boys will be members of crews giving their services to the public in patrolling the river. A canoe will be available on the upper river this Sum- mer, as last, but use of the sea sled, which is capable of great speed, is expected to minimize the value of the canoe. For week ends and holidays a life boat will be kept on duty in the harbor for emergency work. With the seasled the nucleus of its fleet, the sea scouts plan to obtain six boats in addition to three others they have available, thus providing a sizeable fleet for patrol work along the river. General lupervman over the whole program will be exercised by Mr. Long- fellow, who reeenuy was awarded the Boy Scouts’ highest honor, the silver buffalo, for ‘“noteworthy service of a national and international character outside the line of regular duty to boy- hood.” The citation stated that through his “inspiration and pioneering efforts, | Longfellow developed a vast movement among boys’ organizations in the teach- | ing of swimming, life-saving and water safety.” Arlington Building Permits. | By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. | CHAIR IN WHICH Collected Dust in Museum Storeroom 27 Years. |Returned to Her After Having$ | Husband Took Rocker to Theater That Night From Home, She Says. ‘The faded silk damask upholstered rocking chair in which President Lin- coln sat in his box at Ford's Theater on the night of April 4, 1865, when he was wounded fatally, has been returned to the 74-year-old widow of Harry Clay Ford, manager of the theater.

Chair Was Ford's Property. The chair was Mr. Ford’s own prop- | erty, however, his widow, Mrs. Blanche | Chapman Ford, explained. Mrs. Ford formerly was a member of the famous theatrical team known as the “Chap- | man Sisters,” with whom David Be-\ lasco made his debut. In her home in Rutherford, N. J., Mrs. Ford told the story of her fight for the chair which her husband brought from his home next door to Ford’s Theater on the night that was to have been a gay, delightful occasion and was, instead, the date of the coun- try's greatest tragedy. “1 was only a little girl of 10 then,” she said. “My family was very close to the Ford family. My mother, my sister Ella and I lived in the home of John T. Ford, owner of the theater and brother of the Mr. Ford whom I later married. Ford In Prison 90 Days. “I remember hearing all about what happened, though, and of course Mr. Ford spoke often of it later. He was the last man to speak to Wilkes Booth before he entered the theater and was in prison for 90 days after the crime because of this. “When the theater was sold to the Government afterward the chair went with it and was used as evidence. But because it came from my hu‘blnd's home, it rightfully is mine now." Mrs. Ford applied for possession of the chair in November, 1921. She was informed she could have it on March 26, 1929. Her son, George, husband of Helen Ford, the actress, came here and brought it home on March 29. In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Ford as to why the chair never had been on display, a letter from W. de C. Ravenel, administrative assistant to the secretary of the museum explained: “The chair never has been on exhi- bition because it is not the museum'’s policy to show objects of any type di- rectly connected with such a deplorable | and horrible event as the assassination of a President of the United States.” .

Grants in aid of research, available from July, 1930, are offered in the humanities by the Amerijean Council | of Learned Societies. it was announced | yesterday at national headquarters, 907 | Fifteenth street. The stipends aggregate many thot- sands of dollars. The flelds of study are: Philosophy, philology, linguistics, literature, art, archeology, musicology. Oriental studies, including Sinology. | Indology, ~Semitics, Assyriology and | Egyptology: history. and auxiliary | sciences, except those branches that | are essentially economic, social and po. litical history, such as history of ligion, thought, science, learninz and the fine arts, paleography, diplomacy | and chronology. Grants in Two Classes. “Grants in aid of research,” the an- nouncement says, “are of two categories —small grants and larger grants. The small grants are normally of the max- imum at $300, but they may be in- creased to $500 when, in the judgmen: of the committee on aid to research, such increase is justified by unusual expenses, as of foreign travel. “The small grants are available to scholars of all ages, except for assist- ance in fulfilling the requirements for any academic degree, who are citizens of the United States or permanently employed or domiciled therein, and who are engaged in specific projects of ‘re- search for which aid is actually needed and not obtainable from any Other source. “The larger grants range in amount from $750 to $2,000, and are reserved | for mature scholars of demonstrated ability, who are engaged in important | enterprises of research to which they |are able to devote at least six months without interruption. The same econ- dnlons as to citizenship, residence; or employment obtain as for the-small grants. The object of the larger grants is to assist in the advancement of knowledge through aiding individual undertakings of fundamental impor- tance. Limited to Scholars. “The fellowships are of the post- doctoral type already offered by the Social Science Research Council and the National Research Council. Their ob- ject is to assist the better training of research and teaching personnel, and | they are limited to scholars, citizens of the United States, who have received the Ph. D.; or have acquired its equiva- lent, and who are still in the ‘training period.’ The amounts of the fellowships will be determined by individual needs. “Applications for both grants and fellowships must be made by January 15, 1930, on special forms that will be furnished after October 1, 1929, by the Permanent Secretary of the American Council of Learned Societies, 907 Plf- teenth street northwest, Washington, D.
