way this plucky soprano sang il in
a Paris hospital to our boys just
back from the Chateau Thierry fight,
the way she sang II standing on gun

she sang it in ~" huts all over
France. When Johnny Comes

with which she cheered our wounded
sending to our hospitals on Columbia

visit them all at once as she would
like.
There is no need to tell how Bert
Williams sings "Oh. Lawdy." and

unique.

freak novelty hit, "One and Two ana
Three and Four. Rock-a-Bye,' sung
by the Peerless Quartet.

"BUCK UP" AND KEEP GOING
World Has Little Use for Man Who
Wastes Ills Time and Theirs
Talking Hard Luck.

bad luck never comes singly," IS an
old proverb and an untrue one. Its fall
lacy lies in the word luck. A man in
vites most of his misfortunes. Let fate
hand him one body blow and he pro-
claims the fact that something has
gone wrong. Men are 50 busy Mt their
own affairs in the world, so engrossed
in the struggle Of accomplishing what
they have set out to do. that a
hanging head and dismal coun-
tenance as rule only serve to send
them on faster about their business.
They have no time to stop and ask
what is wrong. They are apt un.
Willingly to jostle anyone who stum-
bles in their path. But let the man
who has incurred one body blow ut the
hands of fate remain indomitable. let
him continue his course aggressiyely,
and he will find that those about him
are as ready as ever to greet him. He
will not be jostled because he Is not In
the way. How many college football
players have been badly bruised when
they were holding off because they felt
a bit tired? And how seldom is one
injured when he hurls himself full tilt
into the opposition interference? The
same rule applies to life.

First Fresh Air Crank.

Methuselah was the first real fresh.
air crank, according to the version pre-
scented by DR.. Vincent Y. Bowditch Of
Boston. The reason why Methuselah
lived so long, he said, was that he
knew enough to get all the fresh air
that he could and to live out Of doors
day and night. Hippocrates, the ia
nous early Greek physician, recon-
mended fresh air as q cure for many
diseases, Ind a number Of ancient and
medieval writer's In medicine follow
his suggestion.
Benjamin Franklin. In an article
written in 1776, extolled the virtue Of
fresh air and emphasized how easy 1t
was to prolong ones life by living In
the open.

AMERICAN PRINCESS OF WALES?

The matrimonial future OF the
prince of Wales is much discussed In
London these days. The Daily Express,
for instance, recently devoted two COL
umns to the subject, pointing out that
the war has narrowed the choice for
the royal marriage. There is no pos
sibility now of a German princess be-
coming queen of England, and a vast
tragedy has obliterated the Russian
royal family.
As regards manageable prin"
cesses in other European countries,
the Express says that Princess Yo-
landa Of Italy is ineligible on religious
grounds. Princess Helena Of Greece
is no longer talked of as the future
queen, and although one of the Rou7
manian princesses might be chosen.
the prospect would arouse little en-
thusiasm.
"The; fact u.s." says the Express,
