Former Normal Student Writes
From Jefferson Barracks

The following interesting letter
was received by friends of Irwin
F. Heise, a student of the River
Falls Normal school last year. who
is now stationed at Jefferson Bar
racka, Mo.
Haven't forgotten you folks by
any means. Was home on a ten day
furlough, Feb. 1923, during which
time | had strongly figured on TAX
ing a run down to River Falls and
also visit the dear old school. Per-
haps you recall the severe snow
storm during that time. Well,
there was such a delay in trains that
I couldn't arrange to make the trip.
I enlisted in the U. S, Regular
army, Med. Dept, last December.
On December % had chance to
get into the Jefferson Barracks band
on condition that [ transfer to u. 5.
Infantry. | applied for such trans
fer, but haven't heard from Wash
ington as yet. The only reason for
enlisting in the Med. Dept. was for
the sake of my pal, who is student
of medicine. We thought we could
stay together. He now is in
Georgia. could have gone to Homo
lulu If / had stuck to the Med. Dept.
enjoy the band work very much,
though it is very hard music. The

Antiquity of Nursery RHYMES.

"Sing Song of Slxpence" is as Old
as the sixteenth century. "Three
Blind Mice" is found in a music book
dated 1909. "The Frog and the Mouse"
was licensed in 1880. 'Three Children
Sliding on the Ice' dates from 1859.
London Bridge Is Falling Down" is of
"unfathomable" antiquity. "Boys and
Girls Come Out to Play" is certainly
as old as the reign of Charles the Sec
ond, as is alss 'Lucy Locket Lost Her
Pocket" to the tune of which the
American song, Yankee Doodle
was written. PUSSY Cat, Where
Have You Been" is one of the
age Of Queen Bess. 'Little Jack
Homer" is older than the seven
teenth century. 1.-THE Old Woman
Tossed in a Blanket" is of he reign
of James the Second, to which mon.
arch it is said to allude.

band consists of % permanent men
and about Is attached men. These
attached men are here for training
and are shipped out when a call
comes for their instrument. The
permanent men are all experts on
their instruments. The band is con-
sidered one of the best ones of it's
kind in the CONTEMPLATING none.
It is making more of a hit than
Sousa's around here. You ought to
hear and see US when we are out on
the march,
This band is usually asked to fur
nish the music for all important oc-
casions at ST. Louis and other sur
rounding cities. That always in
cludes free trans ortati on and
meals, entertainment, and a general
good time all around. We always
enjoy those trips. Of course, some
Of those long marches are no snap
by any means. Recently we played
at an occasion where Rear Adm.
Perry was the attraction. Felt
pretty big to think that | saw the
man who discovered the North Pole.
Would love to get in touch with
Wilbur Ensign. I understand he is
in the Navy. Saw Ed. Murphy at
Great Lakes Training Station Oct.
II, which was teachers day down
there. Had a lot of fun looking him
up.
A week ago today while at the
examining buildings for typhoid
prophylactic treatment, who do you
suppose | saw there? Manley Healy
from River Falls, and two other fell
lows by the names of Lord from
Ellsworth and Elliott from River
Falls. It seemed good to see them.
Saw Healy in line this morning.
He is going to try and come over to
see me tonight. He said that he has
lost the other fellows already.
Thursday is the day off for the
band instead of Sunday, because on
Sunday there is always big concert
for the men. Besides, when the
weather is favorable about 20,000,t to
80, 900 people come here in street
cars and in automobiles to visit,
from the cities and country. We
are only an hours ride from up
town in st. Louis and have chance
to go often. Have been very fortu-
nate in being one of the fellows to
receive complimentary tickets to big

Stairway Accidents.

The majority of Us, subconSciously. no doubt, have come 10 look upon hand rails on Stairways as conventional decoration, says the Scientific Amer iican, yet last year 1,149 people were killed and more than 1000 crippled in the United States alone on stairwayS. High heels and run down heels are largely responsible for stairway acci- dents, as well as trailing skirts. But in almost every instance the'use'of the handrail could have saved the victims of last years stairway casualties.
