piece. Though no longer a national
song, it is still national air and sec
ond only to Dixie In patriotic popu-
larity. For $50 years Yankee Doodle
has appealed to our people, and the
tune shows no sign of passing into
Oblivion.
Many words have been spent In dis
GUESSING the origin of the title of this
song, and at least sixteen separate
and distinct derivations of the words
have been seriously set before the pub
lie. The earliest dated reference to
the tune appears in the first Ameri-
can ballad opera, 1.-The Disappoint-
ment." Philadelphia, 1851 It was
played in America as early as 1853,
for in the Journal of Transactions in
Boston, September %, 176S, we read p:
THE fleet was brought to anchor near
Castle william; that evening there
was throwing of skyrockets, and those
passing in boats observed great re-
joicing and that the Yankee Doodle
song was the capital piece in the band
of music"
The earliest appearance in print OF
yankee Doodle" in Europe has been
traced to James Ards "a Selection of
Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign
Airs" published In Glasgow about
1880. Mr.. Sonneck asserts that yam
kee Doodle" did not appear in print ia
America until Benjamin Carr's Fed
eral Overture" a medley of patriotic
songs, including Yankee Doodle" and
composed in 1894 was published,
"Adapted for the planOfOrte, by B.
Carr. New York, in January, 1195.
Since then some interesting and now
rare renderiugs of the piece haye been

did not doubt OF full house: that the
poets OF the theatrical corps had been
trying to accomplish It, but had not sue
ceeded l told him that l would try what
could do for him. He came the next
afternoon. and the song such as II is.
was ready for him. Such is the history
of the song, which has endured infinitely
beyond the expectation of the author.
The song met with immediate sue

being named "New Federal Song" and
no entertainment of the day was con-
sidered complete without 1t.
TO run down the history of the mu-
sic of Hail Columbia" written orig
inally as the presidents March," Mr..
SOnneck found a much more difficult
task than giving the plain narrative
of the applied words. Wading through
an immense amount of historical data
and some controversy upon the sub
ject, he has brought out facts which
he would only put forth after the most
careful process of sitting and deduc-
ton.

MITES ON CHICKEN BOOSTS
Pestiferous Insects Car Be Eradicated
by Thorough Application of
Crude Creosote.

Have you ever lived through the
misery of a night spent with bed-bugs
when escape was impossible? If so,
you can sympathize with chickens on
Suite-infested roosts. The mites sim
ply swarm over the birds and suck
their blood. BY painting the rOoSts
and walls with crude creosote. the
mites can be utterly destroyed, for
the parasites hide in the cracks dur
ing the day time and do not stay on
the fowls.

The origin OF my hymn, my Country.

Accordingly, one leisure afternoon, I
was looking over the books and fell In
with the tune OF "God Save the King. -
and at once took up my pen and wrote the
piece in question. It was struck out at

Mr.. Sonneck had this to say regard
Ing the use of an English tune to the
words of America :"
"The main objection raised against
America has been the union of the
words with that foreign air of cosmo-
politan usage. God Save the King.
Yet there is this difference. which
should never be overlooked: If the
Danes or the PrusSians use God Save

MANY COAST LEAGUERS
AND NORTHWESTERN MEN
AT CAMP LEWIS, WASH

PORTLAND, Oct. 15.-There is a
regular colony of ball players at Camp
Lewis, American Lake, at present, ac-
eording to reports. Probably the best
known of the bunch is Red Oldham,
the Seal lefthand twirler.
Howard Mundorff, who used to play
here with the Portland Northwest
team and has been with the Seals as
well as clubs in the Northwestern
League, is another at Camp Lewis.
Shorty" McGinnis, formerly with the
Spokane club, who was later picked
up by Vernon, is another resident
there.
Walter Mails is expected az any
time from Seattle, and Hap" Morse
and McIyor, other Northwestern league
players, are also due to arrive shortly.
It Is safe to say that the ball play
ers at Camp Lewis, If held together
and banded into one team, could make
any of the other cantonments scratch
gravel, If it came to playing for the
army championship of the United
States.

MKINEY FULL
OF pep THOUGH
BADLY Crippled

Though badly crippled the Mckinley
High School team that goes up against
the Kamehameha eleven tomorrow
will be full of fight from start to
finish. The reportsfrom the Mckinney
camp follows
The Details -.-. .. ...r =. ..-...
The football team of the high
school enters the game tomorrow ID
a sadly depleted condition, with about
five men on the hospital list, three
more injured, and several of the rest
weighing less than hundred and ten
pounds. 1t is a very much weakened
team that Dick Whiteomb proposes to
send against the heavy Kan aggrega-
ton, and the Mckinley boys do not
expect better than an even break.
However, with Thompson to ru7
the squad, and Tsukiyama back at the
helm as half back, II will be a better
running football machine than the
eleven that went against the College
of Hawaii a week ago. Tsukiyama,
along with another half, Sato. were
on guard at the Nuuanu water supply
last week, and consequently fneligi-
bic.
On Sick List . .,.....
On the other hand, such reliable
men as Akana and Ching are still on
the hospital squad, and will not be
seen in action until the second Puma
hou game, fortnight from now. II
is doubtful also whether Davis or
Nua can overcome faculty objections
sufficiently to play against the
cadets. Nua has been working out as
a running mate to Chiffon Jones at
full back, and is good line man.
Whiteomb lost McTaggart at the Col.
tackle went out with a wrenched
knee. He is due for a two weeks en-
forced rest. se- II. -
Chang and Oliviera are two eX.
perienced men being counted upon to
stop the Kan line-bucks, neither OF
them having been aid up. Gehring
and jacobson are two husky but green
linesmen who have been doing good
work at tackle.
A Real Find IS -.
Tokioka is one of Whitcomb's big
gest finds this year. He is fast de.
yeloping into sure tackle, and
though small can hit his man hard.
Chun is snappy little quarter back
who runs the team with. great speed
during the occasional intervals when
Thompson has to be taken out and
can be relied upon on pinch, as was
shown at the Punahou game.
Jones stands out st1Il as great
punter for a high school lad, and his
kicking was the feature OF the Puma
hou game. He seems to be improving
every day. He can be relied upon for
good gains through the line, but his
passing is not up to Thompson's yet.
The Mckinley team is full of fight,
and the students show that they are
ready to back up the eleven in its
battle with the Kan giants. They held
a rousing rally Thursday at which
Coach Whitcomb spoke, and will be
at the Kan field in force when Cap
tain Britton, referee, sounds his
whistle for the kickoff Either Lieut..
Ross or Lieut.. Ladd will umpire, and
Sergt Zimmerman of De Russy will
hold the field Judges whistle.
