COMMUNITY SONG

! borhood meetings in the school house.
1t was with regard to this communal
singing that Dr. Samuel .McChord
Crothers, at general neigAborhood
gathering in a school house commun-
ity center, said:
You have found substitute for
war. The military fellows say that
it takes a war to make people really
feel together-to know common in
| terest, to own a common country.
And how do they prove it?
They tell us that from 81 to So
we were a singing nation; and that's
true Those were the days we learn
ed 'Tenting Tonight Mine Eyes Have
Seen the Glory Maryland, My Mary
land Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, When
Johnnie Comes Marching Home We
learned them then and we sang them
then. Since then we've just been
warming over the words. l was a
| boy in those days I heard it, and
never expected to hear that note
/ again.
But I have heard it again. l have
heard it here tonight. You sang in
that spirit
What does it mean?
1T means that down underneath
you have been gripped by that same
throbbing common reality-not lin
| tied by any fear or hate this time
| You know a common interest. You
own a common country. You've prov
ed it for you've sung in that spirit"

smile, but it wasn't a pleasant one
At the corner of Thirteenth street he
met 'Moory" Cohen and a newspaper
man, with both of whom he was &C
quainted. He growled something in
coherent in response to their greet
ing and was apparently about to pass
on. But he paused, turned down in
the bar room for a drink, and said:
Il wanted one drink more and
didn't have the price They didn't
give it to me. They put me out. They
did not send the proprietor or man
ager to put me out They sent the
porter. I've spent $1,000 over the bar
And they put me out because l wanted
a drink and couldn't pay for it. There's
only one thing you can figure out OF
a proposition like that. Quit drink
ing. This night | quit"

ONE month is occupied in the
work OF preparing magazine. A
daily newspaper is made in six hours.
The Atlantic Monthly has confessed to
having been duped into buying stolen
story-the person who submitted il and
received pay for it merely changing
the title. Yet every now and then we
come across articles in our magazines
playing on the blunders of the small
town daily newspapers.
