WHEN A BAND GOES BY.

There's an awful lot OF grinning
In the crowd along the street,
There's sort Of twitch beginning
To be felt in many feet,
One and all are beaming brightly
There's CLEAN in every eye,
And we're feeling gay and sprightly
When band goes by.
Though we're feeling dull and drowsy
Drab and dreary. glum and blue,
Fretful, finicky and frouzy,
AS indeed at times we do.
Though the moods are hard to Danish,
And it's honestly we try,
How completely they will vanish,
When band goes by.
We will laugh in childish laughter,
Though we'll be a trifle old
If at any time hereafter
While we play a harp Of gold
We can practice at our stunning
Till we play with dreamy eye
The old tunes that set us humming
When band went by.

JAZZ.

He played think the clarinet
Or something else that forget,
But anyway caught his eye
And asked him would he tell me why
His band was Jazz and how it came
To have so curious a name,
He looked a little hurt and panied
And SO ] hastily explained
That I, Of course. could understand
Why one would call band band,
But what" I said. "a Jazz may be
That ia the point that puzzles mol"
And furthermore. want to say
You'd better tell me right away!"
I pulled his hair. and jerked his nose,
also stepped upon his toes,
And then to hasten his reply
I poked my finger In his eye.
Said he, II have an aunt so fat
Come come" said, "we'll skip all
that.
Just tell me why your band Is Jazz,
Whatever reason that it has"
He cooked his head and smirked at
me,
why Jazz? Or. Jazz because" said
he.

COURSE NOT,
WHY SOB MOVIES ARE soeeY


Because bored husbands have a way
of permitting their affections to be
alienated by vigorous matrons, thus
causing young wives much regret when
they hear of 1t.
Because beautiful daughters are
reared under such severe home disci-
pline that upon reaching the years of
indiscretion they steal away to a large
city, preferably Gotham, where they
become abandoned to evil courses and
are later discovered by the old sweet
heart from home upon whose still low
ing chest they weep while under his
virtuous and scornful gaze their COM
panions shrink in abashment.
Because harsh husbands are forever
cruelty dismissing young and indis-
Greet wives despite the earnest plead
ing of gifted child actresses.
Because young district attorneys
commit the enormity of falling in love
with the daughters Of corrupt politi-
clans and discover the mistake too
late to prevent a closeup wherein
their efforts to delineate an emotional
conflict are narrowing to see.

 It was my pleasure to see great deal of my friend, Viola Rodgers, whom un- questionably pronounce the best newspa- per woman in America today, with Zoe Beckley as a close second; since I saw Viola she has spent six months on the other side, where she was sent by the Saturday Evening Post, being given superb salary for her work. She was on the firing line" so to speak, within five miles of Verdun; she saw and wrote elo- quently of the frightful scourges of the red god of war; she met and talked with the great military men of the day and she wears as a trophy bracelet pre- sented to her by French officer; the bracelet Is made of metal adorned with button cut from the coat of Prus- sian soldier.
 Miss Rodgers was entertained by the Duchess of Sutherland while in England, the Countess of Warwick; she had a marvellous interview with Bernard Shaw. who consented to give her 10 minutes of his valuable time and wound up by talk ing to her three hours George Moore is her warm personal friend and Sir Thomas Lipton she knew years ago; in- deed, no American newspaper woman has ever been to England who was more fet- ed and courted than this clever girl from Tennessee-a product of the south with all the charm and loveliness of the typi- cal southern woman. Miss Rodgers who is a famous raconteur Cor is 1t racon- teuse-that would be the female of the species wouldn't itO told a very clever story-at least, it appealed to me-in rc- gard to the late King Edward whose penchant for rich Americans is a matter of tradition; one day one of his courtiers informed him of the advent upon British soil of one of the Riddles of the famous house of Riddle of Philadelphia.

What especially want to say here in connection with my visit to Mrs. Catt and Mrs Rogers is the splendid tribute they pad to my fellow-towns- woman, Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs. Both Of these leaders in the great suffrage fight spoke in eloquent terms of Ala bama's distinguished leader. They regard Mrs. Jacobs as one of the most brilliant women in the United States, a born leader and woman of exquisite tact and tre- mendous ability. Briefly, Mrs. Catt said:
 Take this message to Mrs. Jacobs and Alabama; hurry up with your work we need Alabama. Get the vote for your women; 1t can be done and Mrs. Jacobs and your splendid state organization can do it.'
