The Coming ower
THE SONG or THE yOM-TOM

THE SONG OF THE TOM-TOM
I've tom tom drum; l bought it
In store in Chinatown.
For hundred weeks I sought it,
But tonight l tracked it down.
How it happened I should meet it
Only Tom himself can say,
And he says it when I best it
To the only tune play;
Adda bong tom tom
adda Dong!
As beat its rainbow hide
From its :athomlcss inside,
The only lonely sound that seems to
come
Is the haunting. haunting gcng-
AIDA bong. AIDA bong.
SO l patter, patter, patter
With my stick upon my drum
AIDA bong, tom, tom, aida bonsl
I've tom-ton drum, relic
Of the China dead and gone
It's a Poem more angelic
THAI an Oriental dawn.
T. . brighter than Aurora
In its aspect and its note
Gives the house mystic aura,
SO allow ne, please, to quote:
Adda borg tom tom,
adda bongi
AS l beat its rainbow hide
From its fathomless inside,
The only lonely sound that seems to
come
Is the haunting, haunting gong
AIDA bong, addn bong.
SO pattcr, pattcr, patter,
With my stick upon my drum
Adda bong, tom, tom, ddda bong!
I'vc tom-tom drum-it's colored
In a myriad varied hues,
And its song will rouse dullard
From the darkest of his blues,
With its plonking sort of meter,
Rich in memories Of yore.
And to me there's nothing sweeter,
SO III start it up once more:
AIDA bong tom tom
AIDA bong!
AS beat its rainbow hide
From its fathomless inside,
The only lonely sound that seems to
Is the haunting, haunting gong
AIDA bong, cdda bong.

With my stick upon my drum

The Armenian Record
Ten Centuries of Valiant
Struggle Against Conquest

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent, Mr. Robert
". Leonard, does injustice not only TO
his own Intelligence, but also to the
understanding of your readers. when
he attributes the generous and very
intelligent sympathy of millions Of our
most educated American citizens 70.
the brave and long suffering Armenian
people to a rule which Mr. Leonard
has just discovered shat "worthless
people excite the sympathy OF al.ra-
lists"
Worthless! Those brave Armeniars
who have fought SO valiantly during
the WAY and rendered inestimable
services to General Allenbyl Those
Armenians who have pre.srr to de
by the millions rather than deny their
faith in Christianity and in Western
civilization Those Armenians who for
more than ten centuries stood like
rocks against the onslaughts Of Turks
and Arabs and, together with the By
zantine Greeks, saved Europe in It's in
fancy from Moslem conquest. Those
Armenians "worthless"!
The flower Of American Christianity
and intelligence will continue to love
and admire the Armenians for Their
devotion to our Christian faith and
to those ideals Of freedom for which
millions Of US Americans were mobil-
ICED and sent to Europe to perish.

The Wrong of 1916

To the Edito: Of The Tribune.
Sir: Before aspiring to the Ecrubli-
can nomination for the Presidency,
Senator Johnson should seek the
chance to right the wrong of 1916.
Until that wrong is riehted, it will
constitute political capital for the
Democrats against Johnson. He should,
though he won't, urge the denomination
Of Charles (. Hughes at Chicago. He
may be logical candidate to succeed
Mr. Hughes, not Mr.. Wilson.

1 Mumsy.
 "Why, down in the cellar I found a splendid cover," said Big-Boy, beaming with pride, 'It was an old window sash with only one pane missing. Dan, our helper, said he would put in the pane if l would get him some putty. He is very obliging. So he fixed the pane for me, and have a cover at no extra expense. You see, I already have my seed bed over there where it is protected from the North Wind"
 "You are quite right. The North Wind would blight your tiny plants. He is not a very mild-mannered man." said the Little Green Elf.
 "And the ground is well-drained," Big-Boy explained. "And I have worked in well-rotted manure. On top of the frame I am going to fas- ten the window sash with hinges. I shall put the hinged end to the ! north so that the glass cover may be lifted on warm days and the little plants given an airing. This open ing must be toward the south" Big-Boy was very proud that he could tell so much about a cold frame, but he was not foolishly proud. No indeed, he was happy to be one of the workers and producers of food.
 He hoped to get many fine vege- tables from the little plants that would live in their glass nursery. 'Now," he explained, "you must bury the ends of the wider boards until the soil is on a level with the 6-inch piece of board. The cold frame is now 12 inches at the north end, and inches at the south end. So it has down hill look, but it is all right. When you want to air the baby plants put wedge of wood under the glass frame to raise it.
 ''Now I am going to bank all around the frame with loose earth to make it snug and warm."
 "Well, we'll, if the little plants have not a snug cradle just like little Earth Children" said the little Elf Man.
 "Why, they are Earth Children they spring right out of the earth" answered Big-Boy.
 "True enough, true enough" nodded the Elf Man, but I meant babies like you and Little-Girl were once upon a time."
 'I never was a baby" answered Big-Boy without thinking.
 Then, of course, everyone laughed again.-By Cecilia Reynolds Rob- ertson.

Big-Boy Plans a Surprise

'No," said Big-Boy, 'It is sur prise. You see, had some saving and hammering to do, so thought l had better get it done before I showed you my work" and Big-Boy ran away, but soon came back, carrying a square box without any bottom. Bob-tail trotted proudly beside his young master, carrying the hammer in his mouth.
 ''Now, how did you make that?" asked the Elf Man, as he swung up on a red Princes feather that grew close by.
 'T took board 1 inch thick, and 12 inches wide," explained Big-Boy. "From this sawed three pieces, one 2 inches shorter than the length of the glass sash. From another board 6 inches wide I sawed one piece 2 inches shorter than the glass cover"
 Do you cover it with glass where is your covert" asked Little Girl. It was rather puzzling to her but linen persons" always know about making things with nails and hammers. Even Daddy Dear was never too busy to put up shelves for

ORGANIZED LABOR
 STRONG FOR WOOD

New York.-Organized labor is lin ing up strong in support of General Woods candidacy for the nomination for President on the Republican ticket.
 Three of the leading labor journals of the United States have come ont unqualifedly for General Wood and are urging working men throughout the nation to back him as "labor's true friend"
 Carl Young, president of the Michi- gan State Federation of Labor, says "The working men saw through the efforts of the Democratic administra tion to kill General Wood politically by assigning him to cities where there were labor troubles. hoping and be- lieving the friendship of labor would thus be alienated. Instead of losing the friendship of labor. General Wood increased his already high standing with the working men by his frank ness, fearlessness, and fairness, and has the support of the best element in the ranks of American toilers in the contest for the Republican nomina- tion.''
 The strong endorsements from the labor papers in Flint, Michigan. Chicago and Buffalo, together with President Young's statement should be sufficient answer to the question "How Is labor going to stand on Wood 2p

Big-Boy Plans a Surprise

The sun was shining over the old garden and Little-Girl and tiny, green Elf Man were going through the brown gate with the yellow slats that led to the home of Boy-on-the- Other-Side-of- f-the-Fence. Ku-ti-pi walked ahead with her tail held erect like a banner.
 ''It is a beautiful day." said the small green Elf, "and just the time to make that cold-frame that Big Boy was telling us about. hope he hasn't the tooth-ache, or the ear ache"
 ooh, Elf Man," said Little-Girl, "Why do you think of all those terri ble things. Did you ever have toothache?"
 The Elf Man thought that he nev- CT had had the toothache, but he had had the heartache he said, because once a lady elf had sent back a neck lace of tiny green seeds that he had given her. It was beautiful neck lace, said the Elf Man, strung on a fine grass blade. And he thought heartache was a very terrible thing to have.
 "Oh, but toothache is much worse than heartache," said Little-Girl, "Oh, ever and ever so much worse. It jumps. And if you ever have toothache, Elf Man, go directly to the dentist because you must save your teeth to chew your food. Your teeth are your garden tools. They prepare the soil for your growth. And you should eat plenty of fresh vegetables instead of many sweet things. Sweet things make your teeth ache, but nice fresh vegetables do not"
 This was a long speech for Little Girl, but as true soldier of the Uni ted States School Garden Army she felt that she must pass on the good work.
 The little Elf Man laughed and opened wide his morning glory mouth. There were pink gums and a pink-pointed tongue but no teeth.
 "You see," he explained, "fairy people do not need teeth. We live on dew and nectar of flowers"
 "Well, anyway, Elf Man, if you ever do grow teeth" said Little-Girl, "be sure to keep them well-brushed if you want to be we'll and happy"
 The Elf Man promised that he would remember.
 Just then came a clear call-"He- ho-ho! He-o-o-oW
 "He-ho, yourself" said the Elf Man. "You are just two minutes,

four seconds, and one-quarter of a second late"
 "But we are here now," said Big Boy as he and Bobtail came and sat beside Little-Girl. The Garden Manual Lady had come up and was standing looking lovingly at the two children, Big-Boy and Little-Girl. She expected great deal from these small soldiers and she was very proud of them. Of course, Little Girl could not do as much as Big Boy, but she was learning garden secrets every day. She loved the wide outdoors and she knew very great deal for little maid of seven years.
 Madame Garden Manual closed her book covers with a snap, and everyone jumped. That is, every one except the Elf Man. Fairies are never surprised.
 "Now to work" said Madame Gar den Manual, when she had laughed with the children at the sudden start she gave them.
 "Big-Boy, show us the cold-frame you have made and tell us how you are going to put it together"
 "Oh, have you already made the frame?" asked Little-Girl reproach- fully, "and you didn't tell me about it?"-By Cecilia Reynolds Robert son.
