MAY DROP One VERSE
IN NATIONAL ANTHEM
Uncomplimentary Reference to
British May Cause Omission.

While aboard a British man of war
which was attacking an American
fort Francis Scott Key wrote the
verses which afterward became the
national anthem.
The third verse is not compliment
tary to the Mother Country.
But now things have changed.
England is our ally. and past history
is forgotten. For this reason there is
some talk of omitting the third verse,
which reads:
And where Is that band who so vaunt-
ingly swore,
Midst the havoc of war and the
battles confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave
us no more?
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution:
No refuge could save the hireling
and slave
From the terror OF flight or the
the gloom of the grave,
And the Star-Spangled Banner in
triumph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home OF the brave.
There was a report that already the
Navy Department had ordered Off
cially the omission of the verse from
the anthem. This report proved er-
roneous, however, as no such step
has been taken.
William II. Santelmann, director Of
the Marine Band, stated that when
played officially by the band, only
one verse OF the anthem is rendered
He further stated that the anthem
is seldom sung officially, but when
choirs do sing ii, they usually pick

The subcommittee has been pro-
ceedlng on the theory that a non
partisan taxation bill should be re-
ported. However, II reports are true
concerning the subcommittee meas
ure, II will please the members OF
neither party.
The proposal to lower income tar
exemptions to $1,000 for single men
and $4,000 for married taxpayers Is q
surprising one to many members Of
the House and the full committee.
There was a tacit understanding that
the income tax exemption would not
go below $1,000, and the 81 900 pro-
posal is likely to be overturned by
the full committee. There is also
the widest difference Of opinion re-
garding the tax to be levied against
excess profits. The subcommittee IL
believed to have reached an agree
ment to levy a 16 per cent tax.

A Free Prescription You Can

strain or other eye weaknesses7 II
so, you will be glad to know that ac-
cording to DR. Lewis there Is real
hope for you. Many whose eyes were

Now can read everything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain
dreadfully; now they feel fine all the

seems clear. I can even read fine

that thousands who wear glasses can
now discard them in a reasonable
