TO HELP DISABLED
SOLDIER MUSICIANS

In order to refit for civilian life
disabled soldiers who have had some
musical training, a campaign for
funds has been inaUgurated by the
Brooklyn Musical School Settlement,
which plans to conduct the work on
a large scale. Many prominent men
and women in New York and the
vicinity are on the committee in
charge of the project, which has the
official Endorsement Of the United
States Government.
No soldier VIII be admitted to the
school who has not previously played
some instrument, as elementary mUsi-
cal instruction IS not contemplated
as part OF the course. 1t is planned,
however, to teach a man to play a
new instrument IL his injuries pre-
vent him from playing the One he
has already mastered. Thus III he
has played a clarinet or other wind
instrument, but has received face
wound which makes its future use
impossible to him, he will be taught
the violin or cello.
The Federal Board for Vocational
Training is actively interested I'm the
work for disabled musicians.

BIG WAR SONG HIT
INSPIRED BY POEM

This is the story OF a song-an
American song, by an American girl,
with American soldiers as the theme.
Fay Foster, as composer Of "The
Americans Gomez one of the most
successful songs Of the war, is an
interesting personality in Americas
music world. A Western girl, born
in Kansas, she now lives in New
York.
The song lay in Miss Fosters desk
for five months before she mustered
courage to show it to her publisher.
When she did he looked at Il and
then started in double quick time to-
ward the printers.
This all happened last June.
Sweeps Entire Country.
Since that time "The Americans
Come" has been sung by practically
every concert singer of note in this
country.
1t has been said that no one knows
what makes the public lose it's heart
to one song and reject hundreds OF
others. Miss Foster was asked II she
could tell why "The Americans
Conner met with such instant favor
conscious effort in IL; the song really
seemed to write ITSELF" she said. "One
must remember. however. that the
popular song is a song that has
universal appeal The keynote Of my
song is our faith and pride in our
American soldiers, and l think that
is the note to which every one has
responded on hearing it
This is how it happened to be
written:
Inspired BY Verse.
One day last winter Miss Foster
chanced to pick up a copy Of Nun
sey's Magazine and read a bit OF
verse. 1t was by Elizabeth Wilbur. a
name unknown in the list of lyric
writer's and the poem told Of a blind
ed French soldier who bids his little
lad ITO the window run and see what
the noise in the street may be-" And
the boy returns to say,
'They are men, my father, brown and
strong,
And they carry a banner of won
Grous hue,
With mighty tread they march along:
Now I see white stars on a field Of
blue"
ana lne verse swings on 10 It's
glorious climax:
Hasten. son, fling the window wide.
Let me kiss the stan that our flag
swings from,
And salute the Stars and Stripes with
pride,
For, God be praised. the Americans
Gomez
And the picture gripped Miss Fos-
ter's Imagination.
Left Poem On Piano.
The poem stood on her piano for
days, while the thought of lean
Khaki clad figures marching through
the streets Of the little French viii
lage TO the strains of lover There"
returned to her mind again and
again.
But she had decided not to write
a war song and she put the thought
from her. Then one day a company
OF American soldiers chanced to pass
down the street where she lived and
Miss Foster stood in the window and
watched the colors being carried by.
She turned back to the piano and in
an hours time "The Americans
come" had been written.

INSPECT SHIPMENTS OF EGGS
Federal Food Inspectors of Depart
ment of Agriculture Watch for
Violations of Law.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Interstate shipments of eggs are be-
ing watched closely during the hot
months by federal food inspectors of
the department of agriculture, Ia order
that appropriate action may be taken
when such shipments violate the law.
Shipments containing eggs which
have yolks stuck to the shell, moldy
eggs, black spots, mixed rots. added
eggs, and any other eggs which are
filthy, decomposed or putrid, are in
violation of the law.
Careful Gambling before shipment
will enable dealers to eliminate the
bad eggs. The elimination Of the
spoiled or partially spoiled eggs be-
fore shipment not only removes the
hazard of violating federal and state
food laws, but it is economical in that
1t saves shipping charges on eggs like
ly to be rejected at place of receipt. A
number of states have laws or regula-
tons specifically requiring the Gambling
of all eggs placed on sale.
Directions as to how to candle eggs,
rs well as information regarding the
best methods of packing, shipping and
storing eggs, will be sent upon request
to the United States department of
agriculture, Washington.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Better neglect the rams feed and
water than his exercise.
The mule has many points to COM
mend him as a farm work animal.
Soon after beginning to eat, colts
will want water and little salt In
their feed.
When foaling, the mare should have
box stall or pasture lot where she
.an be all to herself.
No man ever succeeds in building
up great herd Of cattle without good
pastures. without rich grass lands.
Use Of scrub sires on any class of
live stock makes the most expensive
method of production which 1t Is pos
sible to obtain.
If given room enough sheep will get
their living longer in the fall than cat
tie can and get it again much earlier
in the spring.
The ultimate value Of no other kind
of animal upon the farm depends so
largely upon the care given 1t the first
few months Of its life as with the
colt.
