the fall"
And his fond mother, brooding o'er
Paradise lost,
Said, adam, my dear, he is well
worth the cost"
The web of the ages within him Is
spun,
He's a mixture of everything under
the sun
Hes 2 pirates cwn son from the old
Spanish main,
And the gay blood of France courses
hoi in his vein;
The stubborn old Briton within him
is wrought,
and he fllchcd some rich blood from
the canny old Scot;
The strength of the Morse in his
sinews is strung,
And the bla.ney of Ireland bewitches
his tongue;
This conglomeration, (now let us be
frank,
When crossed with the Hun, makes
a helIuva Yank.
You ask, whats a Yank?" I'm sure
'twould be vain

arate strain,
But God planted him here where
these vast prairies roll
And our distances broadened the
scope of his soul,
He was built for a purpose, Gol
tempered his form
TO the heat of the desert, the lash
of tho storm;
lie nibbles his crust by the sweat
of his brow,
And he hardens like steel at the tail
of the plow;
Ills hearts full of hope with no room
for regrets,
md the harder you lick him, the
madder he gets;
He's the hope of the world, the pride
of his race
and he leaps to the fight with q
grin on his face.

TALE OF THE WRITING
OF POPULAR WAR SONG

The tragic death of Mrs. Lena
Guilbert Ford, the American writer
who was killed in an air raid on
London, has brought to light several
interesting facts about Keep the

1t will surprise most people to
learn that this extraordinary popular
song which has been translated into

ords in the sale Of war songs, was
written in less than half an hour.
The idea of the song did not orig
mate with Mrs. Ford, however, but
with Ivor Noyello Davies, Of Cardiff,
Wales, a youthful British composer
who is now a member ofAthe Royal
Flying corps Mr.. Davies, who was
20 years of age at the time the song
was written November, 1915-con-
ceived the idea from the starting
point of the phrase Keep the home
fires burning"
One afternoon he telephoned to
Mrs. Ford, explaining the idea in Il
few words and asked her to write
the lines for it. Almost Immediate
ly she wrote the following.
They were summoned from the hill
side,
They were called in from the glen.
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.
Let no tears add to their hardship
As the soldiers pass along.
md although your heart is break
ing.
Make it sing this CHEEKY song;
Keep the homes fires burning,
While your hearts are yearning. n
Though your lads are far away
They dream Of home;
There's a silver lining
Through the dark cloud shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
TIL the boys come home.
Young Noy3llo hastened to her
home, and en- his arrival, certainly
not more than 10 minutes later
found the lyric complete. He as
promptly set It to the haunting, al
most religious melody which has en-
deared it to millions throughout the
United States and the British en-
rire. 1t il an actual fact that the
song was ready for the publisher in
less than half an hour after the
composer telephoned to Mrs. Ford
for the words. To be sure, young
Novello had been haunted by the
idea of the song for several weeks
tefore he telephoned to Mrs. Ford.
Nevertheless, it is believed that no
other popular war song was written
in such short space of time.
More than two million copies Of
Keep the Home Fires Burning
have been sold to date, which estab-
fishes a new record for high priced
music" as this song has never been
sold at cut rates. 1t has been trans
lated into French, Italian, Welsh.
Russian and the Scandinavian Ian
grages, and, what is ever more re-
markable, It has actually been trans
lated and sung in German.-Los An

SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid"
Ye are the Christs of this black hour,
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the manned and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arise!
o World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucifed
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied!

ed nitrogen from the air, with the
exception Of the ones now being coll
structed for the war department, IS
in operation al the L. 6. department
of agriculture experiment farm, at

nitrogen from the air Is combined
with the nitrogen from ammonia and
can be used in the manufacture Of
explosives and fertilizer. Expert
ments are now being conducted at
this plant by the bureau Of soils with
g view to increase the efficiency of
the process. The war department
is cooperating in this work. What
is lnown as the Haber process of
nitrogen fiXation is being used. This
process involves the production of
ammonia from hydrogen and nitro
gen. These two gases are mixed in
the proper proportions, put under a
high pressure, subjected to intense
heat and passed over spongy iron,
whereupon a portion of the mixture
combines to form ammonia.
