BLAME GYPSIES FOR JAZZ
Music and Dance Originated With
Romany Tribe in Southern Part
of Europe.

Akron, O.-Most folks thought the
Jazz bands and the jazz music came
from somewhere around New Orleans
and that New York finished the Job
By introducing the jazz dance. But
DR.. Oscar Junek, educator of this city,
says the music and dance come from
the Isigane Gypsies, who roam thu
southern part of Europe.
Doctor Junek was born in Silesia,
Austria, and says he often saw the
Gypsies stop to do the jazz dance
He thinks some American dancing
muster must have visited that country,

INSURE AGAINST
 GHASTLY DEFEAT
Help Your Flag, Your Country and Your Home by Buying a
 Liberty Bond

The American people have plunged into the gulf of war and they must flight their way out with sword and sincw.
 The sword of victory will be forged from the dollars of the people. The Liberty Loan will help to win the war. The alternative is an over whclming disaster for us.
 We are at war whether we like it or not The groans of our wounded have not yet reached our ears. The casualty lists of our dead have not yet been posted. The full force of our sacrifice has not yet been felt But these will come.
 Tho United States has to flight its way Co liberty by wading through blood and every American home will feel tho solemn nature of the death grapple. The world can bo made safe for democracy" only after year or moro of tremendous sacrifice in men and money
 Our 5OO.OOO army of liberation will fight in Europe; but the real fight will be at home to back mp that army with dollars. Every dol lar that the people can save from current income and from additional economies will be needed.
 No man is exempt. No man is too poor to do his bit by subscribing for a Liberty Loan bond, a $50 bond, or a $1OO bond
 It Is the duty of every man Co make a solemn effort to save mp for the. purchase of a bond. I'm doing SO he not only insurcs victory in place of defeat for the United States, Inc not only iusuros his own savings in a gilt-cdgcd interest-bearing convert iblc investment in a first mortgage on Che United States, but he insures the continuance of business and in- dustry and of his own occupation. Take out your war insurance today; buy a Liberty bond.
