JAZZ BAND
SOME HIT
Tear OF Strips Of Rag Time While Peas

Army, France, Dec. 2.-(By mail.)-
Them French bands are all there
with the fanfare and whirligigs but
they amt on to the jazz stuff They
stood around the village square this
afternoon with their trumpets and
slip-horns under their arms and just
gaped at a band of Sammies reeling
off Jazz till your feet couldn't behave
a-tall.
1t started out as kind of reciproe-
ity concert. Both bands marched
through the main stem Of town, led
by trumpeters, with the kids running
alongside and the village girls not
exactly scornful toward the Ameri
canoes.
Reaching the square they separat
ed The Poilus took up their stand
under the statue of Joan D'Arc--the
same kind of statue you see in most
every village in France. They play
ed. The captain leader with the ba-
ton would prance toward the buglers
on the left. Bugles would flash in
the sunlight as the poilus brandished
them over their heads; then they'd
blare a march tune so full of pep
that you wanted to grab a rifle and
start shooting every Boche in crea-
tion from the kaiser down.
1t was great--for that kind of mu-
sic
But, when the American hombers
opened up--now, that was music.
Pretty soon half the population of
the town was flocking to the square
to get an earful of the new article.
They never heard a jazz tune before
today How that old band did moan;
trombones beating big horns comp
ing bugles squawking and cymbals
crashing just the right kind of crash
at the right place In two minutes
all the audience was swaying under
the rythmic spell of the jazz. If the
drums had stopped out it wouldn't
have made any difference thous-
and peasants wooden shoes were
beating a clackaty-clack-cla on the
cold cObblestones
Shutters were open all around the
square and folks leaned on the win
dow-sils drinking in the frenzied
American str2ins-rag-time ragged to
the Nth power
Wei! sir, they iazzed every jazz
tune they knew and then, for an ex-
ira encore we get "Just Before the
Battle, Mother" served up in jazz
When the musical spasm was over
the French band played the Star
Spangled Banner" and everyone. ci-
poilus and Sammies. in the
crowd around the square, stood at
salute
Then, Just to prove they could play |
old-time music and play it right our
band gave the "Marseillaise.

touchdown, although the "hasbeens' =
contended then and do yet believe,
that the coveted pig skin was never
carried across on that fateful fourth
down although the referee decided to
the contrary. Hill kicked goal and
the game was won although there yet
remained six minutes of play.
The high school booted to the has
beens" and they started a march
down the field which, if it had been
continued for another minute would
have resulted in them placing the
ball behind their opponents goal
with the caption of victory tied to it.
Hill and Fill were easily the bright
stars of this illustrious contest and
when they chanced to clash the earth
trembled. Goldsmith proved a good
side partner for Hill and was gener-
ally able to make good coins when
called upon to do so. Bill Bailey,
who has played foot ball in the south,
proved a demon at making end runs
and showed speed to burn but be-
cause Of some unforeseen circum-
stances was unable to connect with
the ball and some one of the high
school would be seen running in the
opposite direction with the little
brown ball tucked away beneath a
wing. However this was Bills mis-
fortune and all bemoaned this hard
luck.

"HYsTERlCAL EcoNoMYn is NOT
REAL THRIFT

That more harm than good will re-
suit from the general practices of
"hysterical economy" is the opinion
of s w. Straus, president Of the |
American Society for Thrift, who
voiced this warning in a statement
made public. "The tendencJ on the
part OF many of our citizens" Mr..
Strauss said, "to practice indiscrim
mate economy at this time is regret
table because Of the danger OF injus-
tiae to legitimate business enterpris-
es without any benefit therefrom to
our government in winning the war
Furthermore, it is regrettable because
OF the possibility OF fostering a pop
ular misunderstanding of the true
meaning of thrift
"This condition if it were TO con.
tinue. would tend to discount the val
liable lessons in the sensible prac-
tces of thrift which we as individ-
uals and as a nation must learn from
the war.
owe must bear in mind that money
is just as essential in winning the
war as food, ammunition and guns
Any condition, therefore, which tends
to halt business, transacted along
conservative lines, and stop the flow
of money through the customary
channels, saps our financial power
Money, lying dormant, is cold met
al-nothing more. Money is merely
a symbol Of wealth 1t has no value
Whatever excepting when in circula-
tion or when used as the basis OF
credit. Real wealth is only that
which money can buy.
I'VE must diffeIentiate between the
elimination Of waste and the with
holding of money from legitimate
business. We must remember that
what is one mans luxury is another
mans necessity, jointly creating
transaction on which business and
employment depend THIS statement
does not, Of course, imply encourage
ment Of extravaganza. In the prac-
tce OF true thrift now or at any time
there is no waste. Especially now We
must abstain from using for indiyid-
ual needs any essentials necessary
to The government for the successful
prosecution of the war We must
subscribe literally and to our great
csc ability to the Liberty Loans and
war charities but we must remember
also that we viii gain nothing as
nation in the encouragement OF false
economy, boarding and selfishness
American business constitutes one OF
the strongest assets of the allied
cause. Anything like O. financial pam
id in America now would be a real
disaster because the government
would be placed at a tremendous dis
advantage in securing money with
which to finance itself and our allies

point that war requirements come
ahead of private consideration, but
we need not feel that it is our patri
otic duty to create an epoch of re
