be too often repeated. How many peo-
 pie do you know who can repeat the four
 long, tad.cus, difficult verses of 'The
 Star Spangled Balner?" How many peo-
 pie. do you known who can repeat the
 words to tue four verses of America ?" An, ha! there you are.
 At first I didn't think much of the scheme of The National Anthem Asso- ciation," when Mrs Streeter mentioned it to me; there are so many associations and organizations and chapters and things gotten up nowadays in the name of war, that I rather looked with sLs-
 pcion upon this newest (to my knowle6ge) measure, but when l heard the lady's side of tho question and realized that every word she said was true and prac- tical, charged my mind considerably. "In foreign ycountries,'' Mrs. Streetcr said "peopls adore their national hymns. Look at the French people! Their Mar seillaise' sounds the triumphant, vic torous note to them of all that is spien- did and courageous and patriotic. A dy- l ing soldier will lift his hand to salute the song. The English are equally pa- triotic m their attitude to their national 1 hymn. Every country is, and America should be. Until the present war began, 1 it was the exception to the rule to even l hear y'The Star-Spangled Banner played l once during the year. Since the war, of 1 course, t is different, for many people 1 have learned the words and the music. ! But the National Anthem association I wants to do better than that: we want everybody to learn the words and the music.

l 1HO ENCOURAGE all in our land of freedom. and all who may come S hereafter and make it their home. to learn and to sing the words of the | "Star-Spangled Banner and ''America' and forthwith be loyal to our country and our flag"
 This is the motto,the slogan, of the National Anthem association, with head quarters at Washington, which is now spread ding it's wings over all this big country through the personal efforts of it's energetic president, Mrs. Priscilla w. Streeter.
 Mrs. Streeter dropped in to see me the other day-unheralded and unknown announcing that the intent and purpose of her visit to Birmingham was to or ganize and promote chapter of the National Anthem association.
 Anybody who talks to Mrs. Streeter five minutes knows perfectly we'll that what ever she starts out to do. she is going to do and she had already laid the foun- datjon stone of the Birmingham chapter when she lcame in to see me and had asked Mrs. T. l.. Bissell to act as chair man of the chapter.
 So far, so good, but Mrs. Streeter in- tel,ds to do more; she intends to enlist the sympathy and cooperation of every man, woman and child in this big city in the enterprise in which she is so greatly concerned, for without this sym pathy and cooperation she and Mrs. Bissel cannot accomplish the work out lined by the National Anthem associa- tion
 'vitally and specifically" Mrs. Stfeeter said, ''the object of the association is to have Americans learn the words and music of our national hymn. Why, do you know that there isn't one out of every 25 people scarcely who knows the words of the 'Star-Spangled Banner? The percentage is greater concerning Amer ica,' but not much
 This gave ne the deectable opportunity to quote my Ndored friend, MT Irwin S. ccbb, and quote did; for he struck the keynote when he said that, in his own opinion. "only two classes of people of his entire acquaintance could possibly sing the 'Star-Spangled Banner'-boys with the gozlins q don't know how to spell it, or 'um' or whatever they are but you know what I mean-when their voices are little and squeaky and high and terrible to behold, who can carry the tune; and the lineal descendants of Fran cis Scott Key, who know the words y

department stores," Mrs. Streeter sAfd, and have the employees of these large establishments sing the national airs every day at noon. or at closing time: we want people in the cafes and restaurants and hotels to sing when the band plays The Stars -Spangled Banner We want the schools to insist upon the children learning the words of all the verses of both The Star-Spangled Banner and America
 The printers of Birmingham have done a splendi bit toward helping us With the promotion of our plans,H Mrs. Streeter said. They have said that they will print us 100000 copies of a sheek con taining the words of our two national airs and these are to be distributed broadcast throughout this city. This is patriotic and noble contribution on the part Of the printers toward a very neees- Sary and worthy war measure.
 There has been much discussion as to whether new national hymn will be Mrs. Streeter said. ''Something mo.e tuneful and more inspiring, but whether that takes any definite form or not, re- mains to be seen, and even if it does, there will always be the same love for the old national hymn and always :" The Star-Spangied Banner nl triumph
 shall wave
 Der the land of the free and the home
