How Howard Writes Sonas.

"How do | write popular songs?
Well, | have several ways of doing
it," answered Joe Howard, the famous
song writer, as he lOunged in an easy
chair at the OXnard hotel the other
day. "A successful song writer has to
figure on what the people will fall for.
They will always fall for rag time, and
the notion that rag time music is ON
the wane is all tommy-rot. True, the
time music will no longer go, but the
public will always accept the refined
two-step rag time that is taking the
place of the old kind. The fate of a
new song depends largely on the name
of the man who composed it. An un.
known composer may write very
good melody, which will not make a
hit simply because nobody ever heard
of the composer, while known com
poser of popular songs may and often
does put over some bum stuff on the
public, and they fall for it. A song
that drags fifteen encores from the
audience, that is a stage hit and it is
seldom hit as seller
Go to a music store and try to buy
some of the stage hits you have heard
and you will find they are not in stock
for the reason there is no call fol
them. The audience hears them and
likes them for the time being, but for
gets them before they get home. A
song to become famous has got tC
have the material in it.
"a successful song writer mus
know how to write stuff that will ge
an audience to swinging their head:
and feet. And then the song mus
have something in it that makes al
appeal to the heart or the head.

to the relative digestibility of various
classes of food, especially if ones oc

Pork. Whether fresh or in SausageS
or other form. pork is indigestible
and therefore inferior in nutritive val

Pork should not be eaten except in the
form of bacon or ham. If compelled to
eat it, cook it thoroughly.
The following is list of foods in
the order of their digestibility. II
should be remembered that this list
holds good for the average individual.

both in the primary and general cleo
ton and he announced he was willing
to go before the grand jury and tell
all he knew.
The confession was made after a
conference with his friends who told
him it was the best thing he could do.
Jones, who made his confession to
several newspaper men and in the
presence of friends, said he bought
large number of votes for Shepard
and had kept memorandum of the
names of the men he bought and the
amounts paid cash but a few days
ago he had destroyed 1t.
Kept Names In a Book.
However, he said, he believed he
could remember a number of them
and was willing to go before the grand
jury and tell them.
Jones also suggested that there be
a mass meeting of all successful and
defeated candidates and ward captains
and that a resolution be adopted to go
before the grand jury and tell every
thing.
Jones says there is no doubt in his
mind but that hundreds of names of
men who have sold their votes are
known to candidates and politicians.
The confession has created a sensa.
ton and it is said numerous others
will follow from men who hope to
receive immunity from the state
Spent $4,000 on Own Election.
Jones has been city attorney nearly
two years. He admits that he used
money i'm his own election but does
| not remember the amount. He told
one newspaper man that it would run
to almost $4,000. His Office pays 500
a month and is for two years.
Mayor Platt is anxious that the mass
meeting be held. He was elected
nearly two years ago and it was as
serted at that time that a great deal
of money was spent in his behalf.
| Sheriff Shepard also admitted that
he had bought votes and that he had
kept list of the names of the men
he purchased up until a few days ago
when he destroyed the list.
Sheriff Confesses, Fears no Jury.
| When asked if he would go before
the grand jury the sheriff stated that
he would not When told that he
might be granted immunity if he made
his confession to that body, he stated
that he had nothing to fear, that il
there was an indictment returned
against him, it would be impossible &c

any man who bought votes.
