wouM be a, decided detriment to one
of the best residential districts of
tha city, tho protest of the Cltixens'
Associations sets forth, and. preju

Happy Environment.
The Cathedral choir school has an In
comparable location overlooking the en
tire city, with large wooded grounds
quite Ideal forharborlng nn embryo cre
ator of sacred music. It has already
graduated one of Us rcholarshlp beys
who has gone on to college. Another,
.who received free organ instruction, la
now teaching In the University of Wis
consin and Is organist and choirmaster
at Bclolt, Wis. havlrnr previously been
in charge of a choir In Chicago.
Such care.ls taken of the voices of the
boys that they usually sing through
only three of the six forms of tha
school, thus receiving fully three years
tuition with no service rendered. The
ages for singing In the Cathedral choir
Is from ten to fourteen, but the boys
of a junior choir for those who are not
old enough for regular church work are
given skilled Instruction and one rehear
sal a week. The regular choir boys
have rehearsals twlco a day, with a
dally service In Bethlehem Chapel.
They have a special music room In the
school, and recently received the gift
of a Vlctrola to broaden their musical
repertory.
At present the twenty-five boys of the
choir are preparing a representative pro
gram of church music, which Includes
tho anthem, ."Before the Heavens" Ho
ratio Parker; "Fierce Was the Wild Bil
low," Tertlus Noble; "How lively Are
the Messengers." Mendelssohn; "Let the
Peace of God." Sir John Btalner; the
prologue to Gaul's "Holy City," and
"nnat Thv 1Xnnpn." from "Elijah.
'.Mendelssohn. They also use the tradi
tional cnurcn music oi j. ravers, ii.c
Whltford. and Purcell.
Gave Two Cantatas.
At Christmas ihe choir gave on two
Sundays artistic rendition of the Christ
mas cantata, "The Eve of Grace," by-J.
Sebastian Matthews, quite the gem of
this lovely work was the solo, "The Vir
gin's Lullaby." sung by the boy soprano,
Howard L. Young. Four old English
carols are incorporated In this work,
and one of the most impressive was
"The Little Door" given with fine shad
ing by the choristers.
The choir school is in charge of Edgar
Priest, who for nine years had been or
ganist and choirmaster with Bishop Sat
terlee, the first Bishop of Washington,
at St. Paul's Church, this city. Mr.
Priest, who is now organist and choir
master of the cathedral. Is eminently
fitted for this position, having spent
four years as assistant organist or Man
cheater Cathedral. England. where he
was1 also connected with the Royal Col
lege of Music. He noWhas full charge
of .all music for the services under
Bishop Harding in the lietnienem
Chanel of the Holy Nativity, the beau
tiful crypt chapel, the first part of the
cathedral to be completed. Two organ
recitals are given here each month, on
the second and fourth Sundays at 6
o'clock. i J. Macu.
"Babies" of' British Navy
Are Fearfully Ugly
ABOARD H M. S. TOnPEDO BOAT
NO. 00, SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH
SEA. March 14. Visible proof that
British shipyards have not been
ldte since this war began was
seen from the deck of this little craft
today. . ..
Steaming slowly past a long doublo
line of warships, observers aboard
wore able to look upon a new type of
sea fighters, many types In fact built
for war and not for looks. Theso
ugly colored craft with mottled sides
and daubed plated were the "ba
bies" of the Meet, "Infants." who
have plunged their noses Into the sea
without ceremony or publicity.
The shipyards from jfyhence they
came are turning out sister ships as
fast as mon can put metal together.
No lime Is being wasted veneering the
officers' cabins la mahogany or to put
ting the painter's touch on the hull nod
superstructure. These newest craft are
Just plain ugly, but they embody all
tho latest kinds of efficiency for which
naval constructors have the experi
ence of the war to thank.
The- makn-up of theso fleet "babies"
must remain a mystery until after the
war. In the meantime thev are the
secret prldo of tho British navy.
Some Food Prices Have
Gone Up 112.9 Per Cent
LONDON, March II. European food
prices are higher than before the war,
according to the English Board of
Trade Labor Gazette, by tho -following
percentages: England, 47; lierun, Z3A
Vienna, 112.9; Italy, 31.2.
The Oazetto based Its estlmato on
food staples In the various countries.
It dates the Increaso from July, 1914.
Tho percentages of Increase are car
ried up to February 1, 1916, In England's
case, and to January 1, 1916, In the
cases of Berlin. Vienna, and Italy.
Attention Is called to the fact that
In Berlin and Vienna many prices are
artificially kept from going still higher
onlv by government order, and that In
such cases the articles purchased are
to oe nti in noming out. limited quan
tities, and that some foods, like lard.
beans, peas and lentils, apparently are
praciicauy unooiainame at any price,

Medicated Air.
Medicine that acts on tho blood alone
will never cure catarrh. And neither
will the sprays, douches, lotions, creams
and other temporary reliefs that so
many catarrh victims make a habit of
using. To cure catarrh so it won't come
back you must first drive from your
body the millions of germs that are
flourishing In the inner recesses of your
nose and throat and are causing the
disease.
There Is a preparation used to do this
called Hyonicl (pronounced Hlch-o-me).
Hyomel is a germ-killing vaporized air,
formed from the purest oil of Eucalyp
tus commnea witn otner neaung ana
antiseptic Ingredients. you breathe
Hyomel through tho mouth and nose
bv means of a llttlo hard rubber in
haler which druggists furnish with It.
This medicated germicidal air penetrates
into every roia ana crevico or tne mu
cous mombrane of your nose and throat,
1.111s tho catarrh germs that lodgo there,
soothes, reduces and heals tho swollen
Inflamed membranes, stops the dis
charge and opens up the clogged nose
and air passages In a truly wonderful
way. It gives blessed relief In live
minutes from catarrhal distress of
every kind and If you mako a practice
of breathing Hyomel for a few minutes
each day for just a few weeks not only
will all the symptoms of catarrh vanish,
but the disease Itself will bo a thing or
the past. No ono need try or buy lly
nmel on puro faith. O'Oonnell's Drug
Storo and many other leading druggists
tn Washington and vicinity sell It with
tno poauive tiuniiiiuca (llltl lb llliiBk tuid
cntarrh or that tho money paid for it
will be refunded. Hyomel is very In
expensive, and with this protecting
guarantco behind your nurchaso there
la absolutely no reason why any sufferer
from Catarrh should not give It a fair
trlal.-Advt.

Himself and Son.

Impression that the head of the War
Department Is opposed to the Boy Scout
organisation.
' He states that he declined to be a
member of the United States Boy

NEW QUESTION LOOMING UP
Carmen's Union to Consider
Status of Employes Who
Did Not Go On Strike.
New wage scales, brought about by
the recent street car strike, will be
come effective on the lines of both trac
tion companies tomorrow,
Tho Washington Railway and Electrlo
Company men will bo paid on the fol
lowing basis: First year, 2v& cents an
hour; second, third, fourth, and fifth
years, 2H4 cents; sixth, seventh, eighth
and ninth years, 25H cents; ten years,

years, UM cents; fifth and sixth years,
25 cents; seventh, eighth, and ninth
years, 16A cents; ten years or more, 27
cents.
Officials of tho companies tagan work
today revising the schedules, on paper,
so as to work out a system as early as
possible which will enable the com
panies to reduce the working hours of
tho men, and glvo each employe eight
hours' rest between runs. This revision
must be completed, and the new sched
ules put Into operation on or before
April 15. It probably will necessltato
tho employment of a number of ad
ditional men by the companies.
Although tho two agreements of final
settlement say "It ls understood and
oKrcea mat uns agreement constitutes
a full settlement of all controversies
now existing between the companies
and their employes," It was said todny
that the grievance commute., of tho
union would get busy early next week
to settle another question which has
not vet been tha subject of contro
versy. The carmen's union will hold a meet
ing next Saturday night nt which it la
expected to take up and consider tho
status of the motormen and conductors
who remained loyal to the companies
and did not go out on strike.
Rcntlmcnt in the union Is divided nn
this question. Home of the unionists
call for tho dismissal of the non-union
mon and otherti Insist that the loyal
men bo unlonlred. Tho loyal employes
each received J10 from the companies
