The Board of State Aid and Charities yesterday asked Attorney-General Ritchie for an opinion as to whether the appropriations made by the last Legislature to charitable institutions should be distributed in accordance with the per capita act. passed at the same Fe-sion, or whether they should be giv.E the institutions in lump sums.

It has been the understanding from the time of the passage of the per capita act that the appropriations of the last Legislature would be made accordance with that plan that is. so muca per patient per day. That was the understanding of the Board of State Al and Charities. It has been working on a practical per capita rule for. and announced at the beginning of tm current fiscal year that the rule, when evolved, would be made retroactive for this fiscal year.

Governor Harrington says the practical rule is almost completed, but a question had been raised as to its appbea-bilitv for the last Legislatures appro- v. tiaiuciu ouuos, jr. litre a uuuu for each for his or her birthday this year. A happy thought for others who are wondering what to give members of the family circle. SAVINGS BAXK SUGGESTION.

An important point brought out by inquiries of visitors to The Sux's Liberty Loan Bureau is how a man is to keep securely the bond when he gets it. In this connection a well-known lawyer, who had been asked the same question, suggested that the savings banks of the city ought to agree to take care of them. He said that most of those who purchase $50 or $100 bonds have no deposit boxes, and will have to keep the bonds at home and run the chance of their being lost or destroyed accidentally. The savings banks, he argued, should accept these bonds on deposit, giving credit in pass books just as they do for cash. When the holder of the bond wants it back he should be able to withdraw it just as he does cash.

The bank runs no chances, the lawyer argued, but at the same time the bondholder has a safe place for his security. PLAYGROUND ELECTION HELD Association 3Ieets At Recreation Pier And Sees Games.

Several thousand persons gathered about the Mansion House in Druid Hill Park yesterday to witness the annual play festival held on the lawn by the Kindergarten Club. More than 1,200 children took part in the spectacle, and began the exercises by gathering in a huge circle around Feldmann's City Park Band and chanting a ring song, which gradually broke into a lively melody, whereupon the children broke ranks and galloped about in imitation of hobby-horses. Next the band struck up "Comin' Through the Rye," and children paired and gave a Scotch dance.

After a series of barnyard songs, in which" the children imitated roosters, cooing pigeons and various animals, there was an intermission for luncheon brought by the parents and guardians. The second half of the program was headed by a series of "Mother Goose Rhythms," the children giving song-dance pantomime of. the different episodes.

"Month-End Sale Setting; In Bonton Gardens), At Roland Park, Adds To Enjoyment Of The A'arled Program, The first public concert by pupils of the Music School Settlement, given in the Bouton Gardens yesterday after-coon, could not have had a more beautiful setting or one more calculated to put the auditors in a receptive mood. There was a large attedance in the open-air theatre to enjoy the varied and interesting program. The Senior Orchestra, composed of adults and boys nearly grown, gave three selections under the direction of Franz Bornschein a delightful "Wedding March," by Burgmern; the "Dolores" waltz, by Waldteufel, and two short numbers by Mr. Bornschein, entitled "Flower Ballet" and "Golden Youth." Two Bach chorales, and Schubert's "Spring Song" were played writh remarkable accuracy and fine effect by the Junior Orchestra, composed entirely of children. Soloists Voong Artists.

The soloists were John Cohen, aged 6, who played a Minuette by Bachman, with extraordinary skill, and Michael Werner, a fine young artist, who gave the Kreisler arrangement of the Fran-coeur "Siciliana" and "Rigaudon" in a way that augurs well for his future. A group of picturesque English Country Dances, under the direction of Miss Esther Gottlieb, closed the afternoon's entertainment. As is usual at all public gatherings these days, there was a speaker on the Liberty Loan, and Samuel M. Hann, the Fidelity Trust Company, made strong plea to those present to subscribe and thereby show their loyalty and patriotism. School's Work Surprising.

While the Music School Settlement Las given exhibition concerts each year at its headquarters, on East Baltimore street, the public has hitherto had no opportunity to discover what really wonderful work has been done by the committee and teachers at the settlement, which, in four years, has increased the number of its scholars from 20 to 350. The present quarters have grown too small for the work, and the committee making arrangements to move into one of the public schools in the near future. In the great movement of Americanization that is sweeping the country such institutions as the Music School Settlement may play an important part. They can help to incorporate in the elements that go into the great melting pot, the love for music, and the desire for its expression in community life, which one of the finest developments of European civilization.

Woman Witness Says He's "Per- fectly Lovely." That his wife, Mrs. Lilly Miller Stansbury, who is suing him for absolute divorce on the ground of abandonment, was "an estimable wife and mother, as a rule," was the opinion expressed of her in the Circuit Court yesterday by Dr. Henry H. Stansbury, after he had listened for several days to testimony of her and her relatives charging him with choking and otherwise illtreating her. Dr.

Stansbury's manner corroborated the testimony of a number of his witnesses who pre- ceded him, that he is a mild-mannered man, slow to wrath. His examination had not been concluded when court adjourned, and will be resumed Tuesday. Dr. Stansbury has a slim figure, with light-colored hair, a small mustache and Vandyke beard. Some Truth In Wife's Story.

Asked by Albert S. J. Owens, his attorney, as to his wife's statements of how he treated her, he replied: "A large part of what she said was untrue, but I see a skeleton of truth in some of her statements." Then he explained that he did tell her he had visited a house of ill-repute, but it was while he was attending college, and he only went in and out. It was utterly false, he said, that he ever gave his wife a hypodermic injection, and he was very emphatic in his denial. As to his wife's charge that she had found him asleep in his office, he said he falls asleep if he is very tired.

He denied that he ever held a patient's hand half an hour, going to sleep while he did so. He also denied telling his wife that his bookkeeper could not write legibly. In proof of this assertion, he produced some written pages from an account book and promised to bring the entire book. Tells Of Financial Deals. Then he told about paying $7,000 for a house at Cumberland, and $25,000 for the dwelling at the corner of Howard and Monument streets, formerly the home of the late President Mayer, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The Mayer home was subsequently sold to the Johns Hopkins Club for $32,000. Miss Lillie Belle Hess, a Lutheran deaconess, now living in Westminster, was the first witness called for Dr. Stansbury. She said she had lived with the Stansbury family three years, and never saw Dr. Stansbury treat his wife other than kindly.

The witness went with the family to Europe and helped care for the children. Liked By Physicians. A number of physicians testified that Dr. Stansbury was easy to get along with, and they gave him a good reputation. "He was always perfectly lovely," was the opinion of the doctor expressed by Mrs.

Lucretia T. Godwin, another witness. Mrs. Stansbury's sister and brother. Miss Nellie Miller and George Miller, to whom she frequently referred in her testimony, corroborated her statements.

They said that after their sister had complained to them they told the doctor what she had said and he admitted that it was true. Their testimony also related to money spent by Mrs. Stansbury on her husband. RAILROADER, BUT NEVER RODE E. J.

Morley, 40 Vears With B. Jt Plans First Trip ext Month. Edward J. Morley, 77 years old, 1450 Towson street, has never taken a train ride, though he worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad more than 40 years. The nearest he 'ever got to a train ride was swinging for 60 or 70 feet in the "stirrup'' of a freight car.

His job until his retirement three years ago was guarding the crossing at Hull street. Locust Point. At that time he had a record of never having asked for a pass or used a pass from the company, and in recognition of this unusual record the company sent Morley a special pass, good for whenever he desired. Morley still has the pass and still retains his no-train-ride reputation. But he plans to smash the reputation next month by a trip to New York.

However, his family is betting Morley will still have the pass two months from now and his untarnished, incomprehensible record. SON MAKES COADY BUY BOND Congreasiqan Says The Snn's Plan Is Proving- Effective. "The Sun's campaign for selling Liberty bonds to boys and girls is a splendid idea, and is having a wonderful influence in my neighborhood," said Representative Ooady yesterday, according to a dispatch from The Sun's Washington Bureau. "Most of the youngsters I I know w-ant a Liberty bond. They have seen the nemes of their little friends in The Sun as purchasers, and they want to get on the roll of honor.

"It is up to me to buy three Liberty bonds for my three youngsters. The other day my boy came home from school with tears in his eyes. He said his schoolmates had copies of The Sux, showing it around with their names in the list of bond purchasers. He told me if I did not buy him a Liberty bond he intended to take his money out of the savings bank and do so himself. He wants to get on the roll of honor."
