CHILDREN ENTHUSE
OVER JUIY4 PLANS
Youngsters Look Forward to
Having "the Time of
Their Lives." I
BOY SCOUTS IN DEMAND
TO BE PARADE MARSHALS;
Headquarters of Joint Committee on
Celebration of Independence Day
Kept Busy.
Decorations for July 4
Washingtonians are asked to
take an individual interest in the
display of the national flag and
other decorations July 4. The
city will be en fete, because of
the pageant and other features of
the public celebration which have
been arranged, and the citizens
of the District can add to this
gala appearance of the city by a
display of decorations more
liberal than usual July 4.
The committee 011 decorations,
Frederick D. Owen chairman, re
quests that all automobile own
ers decorate their cars July 4
with from two to four or six j
flags and as much bunting as !
possible.
The work of organizing the
public celebration is one of ex
pense and great personal effort.
Citizens are asked to send con
tributions to George \V. White,
president. National Metropolitan
Bank, or to leave them at any
of the fire engine houses in the
District.
The children of Washington are going
to have "the time of their lives" on the
Fourth of July. That became plainly evi
dent today at. the headquarters of the
joint committee on the celebration of In
dependence day. 1428 F street northwest.
The youngsters streamed in tljere all
day long, asking a thousand and one
questions, getting costumes, flags, caps,
bows, ribbons and other decorations, and
singing snatches of patriotic airs as they
danced about the big headquarters room.
Mrs. Tinnin, Miss Smith and the other
young women at headquarters had their
hands full taking care of their young
assistants. The latter seem thoroughly
aroused to the spirit of the occasion, and
are joining in the preparations for the pa
geant and procession with growing en
thusiasm.
Owing to the fact that a number of the
Boy Scouts of Washington have gone to
the Gettysburg encampment, the women
in charge of the pageant have not yet
obtained the services of as many Boy
Scouts as they would like to have to
assist in marshaling the procession to'be
held July 4. While a number of scouts
are going to headquarters daily and of
fering their services, the committee
would be glad if still more would vol
unteer, as their assistance is deemed in
valuable. . _ ,
Fred 1* Harries of the 'lakoma Park
group of Boy Scouts has volunteered the
services of from twelve to sixteen scouts.
His offer was eagerly accepted. Scout
Commissioner Harry M Rudd of Lroop
1, Alexandria, some time ago volunteered
the services of 1UU scouts from Alex
andria, but he has not yet reported that
he will be able to bring his organization
to Washington tor the day, tnough the
committee hopes that he will he aide
to arrange it.
To Have Police Protection.
Capt. Hollinberger of police precinct
No. 1 was a visitor to headquarters this j
morning to ascertain on behalf of Maj.
Sylvester what arrangements it will be
necessary to make for police protection,
and Maj. Sylvester Is to be furnished
this afternoon with a copy of the map
showing the location oi the various
events that are to take place in the
Monument, Agricultural and Mall
grounds, with tne necessary data as to
how the procession will move. Capt.
Hollinberger told those in charge at
headquarters that the police will do
everything in their power to assist in
the celebration.
Another visitor to headquarters was
little Miss Kent, daughter of Repiesent
ative Kent of California, who, with a
triend, desired to volunteer as one or
the ? flower gil ls" In the procession. Her !
offer was accepted, and she and her j
friend will be given a place in the \
pageant.
Still an ither visitor to headquarters to
day was C. Edward Llufrio, head of the
Italian Boys' Club of the Christ Child So
ciety. Mr. Llufrio, who lives at l$4.*i Hol
mead place, volunteered the services of
the fifty boys In the Italian Boys" Club,
telling those at ? headquarters that these
Italian boys are anxious to show their
patriotic interest in American customs
and to participate in the American na
tional holiday. They have been given
places in group 14, consisting of "nag
Boys."
Children to Interpret Dances.
One of the most beautiful e-ents of the
celebration is expected to be "the dance
of the Wood Sprites." A beautiful spot
in the grounds where the celebration Is to
take place will be roped off, and there,
under the trees, forty or fifty children of
the public schools are to r-ve a series of
interpretative dances.
These children are pupils of Miss Alys
Bentley, who was superintendent of music
In the public schools, and tney are mem
bers of her class in rhythm. They will
be directed by Miss Ruth M. Doing, a
teacher In the West School. "The Dance
of the Wood Sprites" was arranged by
Miss Bentley, and It is expressive of the
woodland out-of-doors. The children will
dance in draperies.
Arrangements are being completed to
day for roping off various walks and
points In the grounds where the celebra
tion Is to take place. Col. Cosby's forces
being In consultation with those of the
District superintendent of sewers. The
latter are expected to provide the neces
sary stanchions and ropes and cables,
and are assisting tiiose in charge of the
pageant and procession in carrying out I
their plans.
With the exception of a few final de
tails yet to be arranged, the program
for the celebration seemed today to be
complete.
