| munity music for Washington. with
the community service.
At the massed rehearsal last Tues
day evening, held in the Mt vernon
Place NJ. Il. Church, a representative
gathering OF the sixteen units that
make up the community chorus was
in attendance. They sang stirringly,
with the spirit and zest OF trained
chorus, and with that enthusiasm that
comes fro ma whole-hearted interest
| in both the music and In the pur-
pose for which they were assembled.
HOW THE IDEA ORIGINATED.
The idea OF using a chorus, with
the foremost band in the country
the United States Marine Band-to
drive home into the hearts of the
people the beauty as well as he wis
dom of this thrift campaign, came
from Mrs Charlotte B. Eldridge,
chairman OF the thrift and saving
stamps work of the United States
Treasury.
The idea of having the people of
the United States go singing their
way" to home and happiness, go
singing their way" to this co-opera-
tion with the nation in these days
of reconstruction, meets win immedi-
ate response. For Americans ike TO
go gleefully into every undertaking
II there is something to do Smile"
is their slogan. And smile with
song on your lips!
That Is the spirit of the U. S. A.
All the world has grown to know
our boys for this spirit. And where
this spirit obtained. all the world
learned to trust our boys. The little
children in Europe bore testimony to
this fact of which the entire nation
Is proud.

The boys went singing their way
to victory, in the days OF the great
war. Now the home is finding guild
ance for its future security, by what
is to be a nationwide campaign for
private investment in the public
money, and which Is designed to do
two things: to give the people n
nancial share in the government OF
their country. and to provide by the
smallest of units, a saving fund at a
good rate of interest that will be
a security for the future of the citi-
zens OF the nation.

Pineville, W. va.--The famous haunt cd house at "Rarden." on the Norfolk and Western railroad, Is being demot ished by the new owner, c. W. Brown, who purchased 1t in an administrator's sale. because the spooks behaved so badly during the lat twenty-five years that no one would live in it.
 The house Is a big two-story frame structure and Is one of the landmarks of the village. According to those who have occupied 1t ghosts, spooks and spirits abound in it. It was built more than half century ago, and the al. legged walking of chairs and tables, and door raps. rattling of dishes and pans and removal of covers from persons occupying beds have driven those who have occupied the place to give 1t up.
 The ghosts have been reported for a quarter of century, and during that time score of different families have occupied the house, but only for short periods. For years no one would oc cupy 1t. although 1t was offered rent free. e EtN

Nver since the news that a silver half dollar of 1858 brought s2,5O0 was published throughout the country 6 few years aga there has been great sr misconception as to this coin than any other ever struck by the United etstes mints. This arises from the fact that there are two kfhds of half dollars of 1853. The rare variety has no arrows at the dates and, there Is no sunburst on it's reverse.
 Y Only two specimens of this coin are known to be in existence. Half dol lars of 1853 with arrows at date and sunbursts on the reverses are very m. merous. however. and they have ire auently dashed the hopes of holders who were unfamiliar with the dis tfnction between the two varieties of tho coin.

 "In his gaze is an expression of wisdom and of openness; his eyes are blue, but shine terribly when he re. proves people; but In conversation they are amiable.

In short, he is as handsome as a man may be. They call him Jesus, the Son of Mary"
 Expert antiquarians and students of history pronounce the letters of Publi- us Lentulus to be entirely genuine. For centuries they were forgotten save by students of Latin and ancient Rome. The advent of Christmas brought the letter quoted to the mind of an old professor here. He translated it into modern Italian and sent it to some of his learned friends as historical curi- osity. It seems to verify the belief that the Savior had fair complexion and light hair, as many old artists de- pieted him.
