Dr. Wood's Address to Graduates of Miss Ma deria's School. Many society women in this country are extravagant not only in dress and in the use of money, tout in wasting their time and talents. So Rev. Dr. Charles Wood, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, de clared in an address to the young women of the graduating class of Miss Maderia's School at the commencement exercises held yesterday afternoon at Rauscher's. "You will find greatest happiness and ac complish more by leMing a simple and unpretentious life," he said. "The education you have received teaches you that you must make the best of any position in which circumstance places you," continued the clergyman. He then declared that the young woman of today must fill her mission in life if she is to attain success. She should be able to go into the kitchen, if the situation demands it, even as she should be able to preside over the proudest home in all the land. Miss Maderia made a brief address at the close of Dr. Wood's address and de livered the diplomas to the young women of the cla^s. Rev. Charles Wmgatc, assist ant rector of St. Margaret s Episcopal Church, pronounced the invocation. The graduates are Misses Charlotte Carr, Day ton. Ohio; Charlotte Hippie. Lock Haven.

Project Revived for Memorial Struc ture at Arlington. President Taft's reference in his Me morial day speech to the erection of a memorial amphitheater at Arlington may lead to a revival of interest in the project according to views expressed today by officials of the G. A. R. The President was a member of a com mission appointed during the Sixtieth Congress to submit plans and estimates for the work. The commission submitted its report, but no appropriation was made by Congress with which to carry out the project. Jt stated today by an official of the Department of the Potomac that the matter, in all probability, will be brought to the attention of the G. A. R. at Its next grand encampment. | Judge Ivory G. Kimball, who served ^rtsl.dunVTa,t on the commission.

T Work on laying the boundary tine of the channel In the Anacostla liver, in front of the navy yard, Is advancing rapidly, and the dredge doing the work is in operation the entire twenty-four | hours each day. Owing to the shallow water west of the new Anacoetla bridge to Polar point, it will be a short time until this part of the river will be fllled; but a much larger amount of dredging will have to be done to deepen the pro posed 400-foot channel. Bast of the bridge, included in scheme No. 2. a dredge is at work. The money available will permit only of a sea wall in this section. The endeavor of tbe Anacostla Citizens' Association to secure two band concerts a month at Logan Park, In place of one as heretofore, has met with adverse action from the officials in charge, and unless the present decision is changed only one concert a month will be held. These concerts will begin in the near future, and the residents of Anacostla look forward with interest to their in auguration. An endeavor is to be made, however, to have this monthly concert made a certainty. Heretofore when rain tell on the evening of the concert no other night would be selected in that month.

A navy yard tug, provided with grappling irons, is attempting to bring to the surface the motor boat Culprit Fay, which foundered In collision with the United States ship Dolphin Saturday night, above Alexandria, in the Poto mac river. The tug was sent from the yard this morning. The motor boat may be raised to day Unless unexpected difficulties pre vent. She will then be towed to the navy yard to oe exhibited in evidence before the court of inquiry which will determine the responsibility for the ac cident. The Culprit Fay is not cut in two, in the opinion of Lieut. Commander George Laws, in command of the dol phin at the time of the accident, who is directing the work of recovering the motor boat. He believes the craft was struck a glancing blow Just abaft the bow, and that she is probably stove in badly, but not irreparably damaged. Finished throughout in mahogany, the Culprit Fay was regarded as the finest pleasure craft on the river. She was formerly owned in New York. A new engine, at a cost of 91.400, was re cently installed by her owner, John G. Lindsay; After calling upon President Taft yesterday Mr. Lindsay went to the Navy Department and was closeted with Assistant Secretary Winthrop. The motor boat will be raised by the Navy Department and she will be put in thorough repair at the navy yard, Mr. Lindsay has been assured. Dancing t?

LANCASTER SCORED IN mill ADOPTED West Rock Creek Citizens Say He Copied Methods of Ex President Diaz. A resolution of protest against Charles C. Lancaster "assuming: to speak for the northwest section" was adopted at a meeting of the West Rock Creek Citizens' Association In Masonic Hall, Tenleytown, last night. The resolution sets forth that Mr. Lancaster is a non-resident, with no interests in the section west of Rock creek, and that "his gratuitous antago nizing of honest, efficient and industrious officials of this District has greatly cur tailed, if not destroyed, his usefulness and influence as an official of the North west CItiBens' Suburban Association." Mr. Lancaster is charged in the protest with "taking as his model former Presi dent Diaz of Mexico, whom he resembles in nothing except the determination to j retain his presidency at ail costs, regard leas of the forms of the constitution or the wishes of his constituency." The Northwest Association is said in the reso- | lution to be run as a close corporation in i that no new members will be admitted out of fear on Mr. I^ancaster's part of being defeated for re-election. The secretary was directed to send copies of the protest to the committees of Congress, the Dis trict Commissioners and the several civic bodies In the District. I A resolution offered by George W. Of futt was also adopted Indorsing the course of 8. McComas Hawken, the president of the new association, and of Col. James L. Tait, in leading the fight against Mr. Lancaster in the northwest. Not to Ask All-Night Cars. ! A communication from the Interstate commerce commission was read asking the association to state its view on the subject of ail-night car service. The sec retary was directed to inform the com mission that better service is desired during the busy hours of the day, but that an all-night service is not asked for on the Tenleytown line. The residents of the section were urged to beautify their yards and in this way add to the attractiveness of the north west section. Representative James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, Maj. Sylvester and Frank J. Hogan of the Washington bar ad dressed the meeting. Representative Byrnes congratulated the members on having so "large, active and aggressive an association," and predicted that through its efforts great benefit would- result to the community. "I ?m a great believer In citizens' as sociations." he continued, "and when a representative from an association com posed of the number and caliber of men I see before me appears before the Com missioners or the committees of Congress his . statements should be given great weight." i Mr. Byrnes said that from what he had heard at the meeting he was led to the belief that there "had been too much of one-man rule, and I tell you nothing will kill an association more quickly than that." He concluded his remarks by stating that the northwest is a growing section and that In working to promote its In terests the association might count upon him as its friend. Discusses Traffic Control. Maj. Sylvester told the members that ?o long as the street car traffic is under the Interstate oommerce commission and vehicle traffic under the District no ef fective regulation of the traffic can be had by the polios. He advocated putting the railroad and vehicle traffic under the control of the Commissioners. Attorney Frank J. Hogan, who was in troduced by Mr. Hawken. delivered a witty address, which was received with enthusiasm. Mr. Hogan paid a glowing tribute to Maj. Sylvester "for having made Washington the most orderly and law-abiding city in the United States, non-resident critics to the contrary not withstanding." Among the new members admitted last night were Galen L. Tait and George A. Armes.

I - Files can be eliminated from Well ington. Not only that, but the elimina tion can be made a Bource of Income and not of expense to the city. The author of the suncestlon is C. I*. Marlatt of the Department of Agriculture. "We know that probably 96 per cent of the flies in Washington or any other large city breed In stable refuse," he says. "That is a pretty well established fact. Now, this refuse In the right place Is valuable. Any farmer will pay $2 a load for it and be glad to take it away himself. Any stable owner will be glad to pay for having It taken away, and if he can get it taken away for nothing he will be better pleased. "Why should we not have In Washing ton a regular system of collecting stable refuse? The District government knows where all the public stables are. They have to pay a license. The building in spector knows where all the private ones are, for they have to get a permit to erect one. Thus collecting the refuse is merely a matter of going after it. Worth 92 a Load. "The refuse is worth $2 a load to bann ers. If you want to get it for your garden in town I am willing to say you will have to pay from (3 to $5 for a load. Thus collecting the refuse ought to be a valu able concession for Washington or any other city. "If the collection were made once a week that would be enough, as it takes flies ten days to breed. If the District or the contractor got a piece of cheap land outside of town, preferably a hill, a big vault could be dug with doors M the bottom and manholes at the topi. The refuse could he hauled there and dumped in and the farmers would be glad to send their teams and haul it away at a stated price. They would send a long way and pay gladly if they knew there was a certain supply well protected from the weather waiting for them at some certain point. Thus keeping the city free of stable refuse and consequently free of flies would be a paying matter for the community." The suggestion of a refuse-collecting service has been made to the health office of the District of Columbia. Jsse Bride* Should RUe to D?waey*e carriages. None finer. Stables, 14DD L.? Advt.
