his brand new farm wagon up, in front

"TIPPERARY SUNG IN
LATIN in new YORK
Night Pupils and Professor
CoIlabOratG on Songs.

New York.--You can't keep a good
song down. When it has been trans
lated into all the living languages it
takes up the dead. e.
If whoever wrote '"Tipperary" will
visit the New York evening school in
De Witt Clinton high school, Tenth
avenue and F'ifty-ninth street; he will
hear there almost any night this lyric
lilt-and wonder what has happened
to the darling of his brain:
Tonga via ad Tipperarium,
Tonga via ibO;
Tonga via ad Tipperarium,
Ad puellam guam cognOScO.
Vale Picidilium,
Vale Leicester Forum
Tonga via est ad Tipperarium
Ibi est cor meum.
Also, if he listens longer, he will
hear Il Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a
Soldier" and the other songs Of the mo-
ment done into the purest Latin Of
Manhattan.
The explanation, if he asks one, is
that Professor Horace C.. Wait, teacher
of Latin in both De Witt Clinton high
and the evening school, has discovered
the way to interest his pupils is TO
bring Latin up to date. Of course,
Caesars legions may have sung the
same song as they realized how far it
was from London town to Ireland, but
even 50, thinks Professor Wait, to put
''Tipperary'' into Horace's tongue
brings the past more in line with the
present.
For several sessions lately the boys
and the professor have collaborated Oh
the TRANSACTIONS of popular songs and
then have sung them to detect imper
fectiOns in the rhythm. They will con-
tinue to adapt Broadway's best singing
songs to the Appian Way as long as
the songs and the Latin verbs hold out.
AS for 'Tipperary,' even the German
lads in the class join in on the cad
puellam guam cognoscO.'

LONDON. May "a plan is being
considered in England to compel a
man who wants to carry a bottle OF
whiskey In his pocket to take out a
license. 1t isn't likely the scheme will
be adopted but It illustrates the trou-
Bile the government is having in its
attempts to regulate the countrys
habits.
Present English saloon regulations
were adopted as a war measure. The
intention was to reacn two particular
classes of people-makers of muni-
tions and other military necessaries
and the wives OF soldiers at the front.
The authorities contended early in
the war that excessive drinking by
the munition workers was lowering
their output. Then came the COM
plant that soldiers wives were drink
ing too much. These women received
from the government wnat are known
as separation allowances, varying
somewhat with circumstances, but
amounting approximately to from So
to s4 weekly.
The sum. though small. according
to American standards, was liberal
from the viewpoint of many English
workingmen. They also received it
paid into their own hands, instead OF
being dependent on what their hus-
bands had previously seen fit to give
them. 1t was charged that numbers Of
them spent far too large a proportion
Of it for alcoholic refreshments.
The upshot was regulation re-
stricting liquor selling daily to two
hours and half, beginning with
noon, and to three hours, beginning
with $50 p. m.
Employers complained that unless
hey set the luncheon nour for their
help later than $3.50 p. m. many work.
