want sonas Of eIory and Frsedom.

With every coming of Fourth of
July celebrations the advocates for
the safe and sane kind always cry out
in hunger for a. supply of patriotic
songs and from the tenor Of articles
and statements which are annually
published the hunger is not fully ap-
peased.
In a feature article in The Sunday
Sun, New York, last Sunday, there
was an outline of the planning that is
under way in 400 cities of the United
States, for the safe and sane celebra-
tion Of the nations birthday next
Thursday. The statement in regard
to musical features made in the arti-
Gle were as follows:
"vThe events in our national history
are set forth in both symbolic and re-
aIistic scenes, with an accompaniment
Of patriotic music, and there Is ar OPP
portunity for the insertion of local
color and the depicting of local prob
lens which will make the pageant in
each town differ from all others. The
pageant LIS planned for out of door
| presentation and is full of inspiration
for increasing the loyalty and patriot
ism of the American people.
The pamphlet in which these sug-
gestions for an independence Day cell
ebration and a Fourth of July pageant
appear is published by the Russell
sage ana may De 0DEalneu
from the foundation. Collaborating
with Mr.. Langdon in the work. Arthur
Farwell contributes suggestions as to
patriotic music, giving constructive
advice concerning bands, and orches-
tras. a photography OF patriotic songs
and folk dance music, and instruc-
tons as 10 chorus singing and the
part Of the audience may play in the
musical programme.
"Mr. Farwell urges the young COM
posers of the country to produce ma
tionaI music. This nation feels the
need of national songs. The composer
in America is asleep, dreaming of mu-
steal art of the old world nations.
we must shake him up" says Mr..
Farwell. "and call out, wake up! We
want songs, songs of Americas glory
and freedom, and we want them for
the next Fourth Of July" Then q
competition should be instituted and
the winning of the prize for writing a
great national song should be regard
ed as a great honor, the winner to be
recognized In some hitting way during
the celebration. In this way, Mr..
Farwell thinks, by rousing the crea-
tive powers of young American writ
ers, a new order OF American music
will arise, larger in spirit than any

not condemn the lighter music, top

ing they have some rhyme, reason or
melody. Each of these serves its
special purpose and in a way is inn

the mawkish drivel set to ragtime in
which the words are twisted to double
meanings"

I once had an experience at Monte
Carlo that would be more in place on
the page devoted to the adventures of
Mr.. Harbottlc than to be retatled as
cold fact. But it would never do to
tell it as fiction. for although it is true
it is too improbable and unconvincing
for a story.
Somewhere about the time the celc-
brated Mr.. Wells was strolling along
the Boy Boolong with an Independent
air" l found myself with time on my
hands and somewhat more money in
my pockets thar was good for me.
1t was only money in a modest sort
of way. just about enough to pay for
n trip around the world, and l was
thinking about the congenial company
to be found in the smoke OF of an
eastern bound mail boat. when he who
is supposed to occupy himself with the
finding of employment for idle hands
put it into my head that it wouldn't
cose me much more to take Monte
Carlo on my way east Of Suez, and
that by giving a tenncr or " a
chance I might make it pay for my
trip.
l went to Monte Carlo, then. and
was given permission to occupy a
room in a hotel-the said room being
but little bigger than a. Rowton house
cubicle-for a week. I didn't get the
permission until l had paid the weeks

I had made up my mind that I

money where I couldn't get at it as

My pessimistic thoughts vanished

much wit, brightness. novelty. comic

else Of delightful merriment, that it
always furnishes fresh laughter and
new pleasure. 1t is impossible to take
it all in the first time. 1t is a heartier
laugh each time it is seen. This very
quality Of sustained merriment is what
stretched Seven Days" into a third
year in New York. People went to
sect it again and again and liked it
better each time. That is why at the
Aston theater in New York. it made
the record of the American stage, u II
ming into a third year. Out of town
people shouted with glee at it in New
York, then howled, with merriment
