appeared every Sunday, right under

from her again. Meanwhile, the re-

been referred to another department
OF the paper, where II more properly

That length rule does seem to get

you read the winning songs from
week to week. Decisions have been
made against several otherwise per-
fectly good songs for the reason that
the selfsame idea had been previously
used This doesn't by any means
imply that the later songs were plag-
iaries, only that two or more singers
have happened on one notion-as is
natural when so many are Compel
ing. OF course the new ideas have
the preference.

famous song or poem should be ex-

The Knit, Knit, Knit" idea has
now done pretty hard service. So
has the notion Of the sock clad toe

jury Of award has nothing in the
world against that laudable ambition
and would cheerfully take part in the
kicking. But If songs with a kick for
