many controversies, and one New York

Twelve Minutes to Write Popular Song


Every one who saw Raymond Hitch
cock in Easy Dawson" has hummed
or whistled that catchy song, "And the
World Goes On" The way in which
1t was written is truly remarkable. Its
author Is Jean Lenox, a young lady Of
Charleston, s. C. She was occupied
one day with the tedious duty of comb
ing her hair, when, suddenly, the tele-
phone bell rang.
WELL" said Miss Lenox, "Who ia
this? Oh, Harry Sutton? Yes. Good

HenrY-W. Savage wants song, fur
Mr.. Hitchcock. Wants it bad. Doesn't

Will go. Can you write some verses
for me to set to music?"
YES"
"When?"
Now"
When shall send for them?"
Start your boy. BY the time he gets
here they will be written"
Thank you."'
Goodbye.
Goodbye"
Miss Lenox resumed the combing 4.f
her hair, and out of the vast vacuum
came the following:
1t Is sad to contemplate,
And it's sader to relate"
tstf1ving to unravel some knotty prob
lem in her hair)
How this good old world forgets you
when you're broke"
Then, completing the arrangement
OF her hair, she muttered to herself the
chorus:

And the problem is to find out who's

When you've forced to give up dining

Then came the last stanza, scrubbed
on an envelope from her mornings

again,
"Well?"
There's boy here from a music

SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
For a sore TAro.t.

Nothing is better, for sore throat
than to wet small cloth, handker-
chief will do, in cold water and put
around the throat. Cover this with a
larger dry cloth, to keep the clothing
dry and prevent the escape of moist
ure. Apply at night, and in the morn
ing the throat will probably be we'll,
or SO nearly SO that another applica-
ton will complete the cure. 1 have
never had occasion to repeat the ap-.
pltcatfon. And other soreness or pain
quickly succumbs to the same treat
ment, and there is no i'll effect follow,
ing, as is SO often the case when drugs
are used.
