not mention its artistic effect in their protest,
however, but merely pointed out that it is

give better asons than these the co-eds say,
if they expect to bend the modern woman to
their will.
One very distinct advantage of the galosh
as compared to its aristocratic ancestor is its
adjustability. The seventeenth century flap
per of masculine gender had to change his
boots if he wanted to change the effect of them.
All the modern fapper has to do is to reach
down TO her graceful ankles and buckle OF un-
buckle, as the occasion demands.
Where pronounced nformality is desired the
galoeh be worn with all its buckles jing
ling. Once buckle secured tones down the ex
treme effect of wide open. Two buckles
fastened still further softens the artistic ele-
ulent OF informality. All buckles fastened and
you have the prim effect.

with an Older man she might fasten one or
two buckles, according to her best judgment.
II she were looking for a job she would prob
ably buckle them right up to the top.
So easily adjustable is the galosh that IL she
wishes she may even deftly fasten or unfasten
a buckle or two right under her escorts nose
If he seemed to be getting too stuck on him
self, she might reach down and with deft
twist rip them wide open. Under other con-
citions she might furtively reef them in Bit
Of course, not every fapper who wears
galoshes Hopping has studied out the reason
why from original sources. Keeping an eye on
what the other ladies are wearing and spend
ing rainy evening and then with the
1ashlon magazines keeps the average fapper
well enough informed to what to wear A
young lady questioned as to the whyfore of her
galoshes stated that she bought them one dav
when she was caught in a snowstorm in New
ark. When she arrived back in New York she
discovered that they were in the height of
fashion, and she wears them now on every DOS
sible occasion. At the time she was inter
viewed she had them wide OPEN That, how
ever, was only because she was going to busi-
ness, she stated In an evening gown she usu-
ally buckles all but the top two, and maybe
rolls them down, thus securing the flare with
out the flop.
A business man Of fifty years when asked
his opinion of the unbuckled galosh said he
thought them sloppy But bobbed hair isn't
pleasing to him, either. He admits quite
frankly that he is rather opposed to changes
Of any kind and likes the good old ways best
With smile he said he could remember a pair
If boots he owned when he was boy, with
copper toes and red tops. "Used to call 'em
srctics," is one remark he made.

the connection between the words and music
of "The Star-Spangled Banner
And matters are even more critical when
you come to give "Hail, Columbia" the same
minute examination. That grand old song,
written in 1893 when war with France loomed,
is said to have had British origin 1t is
charged that "Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean, was only a slight shift from "Britan-
MIA, the Pride of the Ocean," The fact that
the song runs "Three cheers for the red, white
and blue" proves their claims say the British
proponents. They insist that those are British
colors, while the American colors properlv
are blue, red and white Oh, we'll, three
cheers, anyway.

songs lines, rejecting the while on foreign
debts, disarmament conferences and the like. it
rings rather American, doesn't it?

A SIX the average man to recite the first
~ stsnza of the "Star-Spangled BAN
4 n ner,' and he might retort:
"The wars over"
Urge that he write down the second stanza,
and he might rise to inquire in turn Of you
"Say, who do you think you are? Edison7"
Suggest that he declaim the third stanza and
his answer might be-
Cant catch me. There's no such thing"
But there is. And in the Municipal Build
ing of New York City, where they tinker with
history among other things, they had an argu-
ment about that third stanza the other day
Before David Hirshfied, Commissioner of Ac
counts, who is the deas ct mnchinn of the in
vestigation into the historical as taught and
sang in our schools, our national anthem was
debated. And the Commissioner no doubt lent
an interested ear, for it is said that his senti-
ments may be paraphrased: Let me but write
a nations history and / care not who commits
sions its accounts.
The reader of this story, not being the aver
age man above referred to, will recall that
Francis Scott Key, witnessing the repulse OF
the British fleet after the bombardment of
Fort McHenry inquired POLITICALLY in the third
stanza of his "Star-Spangled Banner:
And where that band who vauntingy swore
That the havoc of and the battles confusion
A home and q country should leave Us no more
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps poi"-
ton
No refuge could save the hirelng and slave
From the OF fight the gloom OK the grave;
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
DER the land the free and the home Of the brave
One gentleman pointed out that this stanza
was likely to offend the British, and one must
agree that it would not be exactly in order If
sung as honeymoon serenade outside the win
dow Of Princess Mary Lascelles. Another
gentleman insisted it would be un-American to
cut out any Of Mr.. Keys copy. Thereupon
to be strictly American in describing it
beaned the other gentleman on the beak.
And that is only hint of the trouble our
national anthem-and many another Of our
old patriotic songs, for that matter-might
cause nowadays if you really looked into them.
They may be, as one of the pugnacious gentle
men inferred, international dynamite. And,
on the other hand, some of them partake of
that same fault which the Commissioner of Ac-
counts inputes to historians--too much Eng

in this age of ours be denounced as downright
unconstitutional
The controversy over "The Star-Spangled
Banner" stopped at small single combat, but
the fray might have spread throughout the
land of the free" if prohibition enforcement
agents had been among those present and had
carried the investigation into the anthem
further. They would have found that its mel
ody is derived from old English drinking

The song went on to relate that great Jove
was peeved at this covenant of Anacreon with
the clubmen, 1t sounded like such a good
party he objected, that "devil goddess will
stay above stairs" in fact, they all were max
ing plans to attend, crying, "a fig for Par,

Now, if the "dry" agents were forced to let
that tune by because it was composed in Eng
land and out of their jurisdiction they might
claim strong grounds for complaint in the
story Of its American adaptation. You may
recall that Mr.. Keys trip to the British fleet
and his inspiration for the words Of the an
them that followed were occasoned by his de-
sire to rescue under flag of truce q friend of
his, certain DR.. Beanes, who had been taken
prisoner. Now, the imprisonment of the physi-
clan came about in this wise according to the
account of a relative:
DR.. Beanes and several companions were
seated in his garden, celebrating with copious
libations' rumored defeat of the British
There entered without suspicion, for the doc
tor previously had shown no hostility. three
British soldiers, who, strangely enough, asked
for drink of water. Somewhat under the
influence of the excellent punch" says the ac-
count CDR. Beanes and his friends made them
prisoners of war, and, very naturally, the
British resented this, to say the least, indis-
Greet act" And they showed their resentment
by capturing the doctor. 1t is suggested in
Sonneck's report on the anthem that the doc
tor might have been chanting to Anacreon in
his garden that day. He may still have been

When Libertys form stands in view
Thy banners make tyranny trembe

But wait! With the third stanza, as in the
case of the national anthem, "comes it,
trouble. Consider the perfectly preposterous
and illicit request its very first two lines
make
The wine the wine bring hither
And fill you it % the brim.
Not once but twice does it order wne-cups.
And what is worse, it urges they be filled If
1t weren't for that last phrase, Ito the brim,"
it might be explained that the order was for
grapejuce. But as it is. MOI The result
might be that if you stood on a corner to-day
and patriotically raised your voice in "Hail,
Colunlbia,' you would in few minutes gather
crowd of either prohibition enforcement
agents bootleggers, or both And in any
case the effects would be likely to be serious
1t would appear that an amendment on the
old song is badly needed. And, as you will

rather appear that they handy enough

Perhaps there's better luck in digging up
some of the old patriotic songs, such as
are found in Moore's "Ballad History of the
American Revolution.' But even there snags
are struck. For instance, can imagine nothing
more fitting than this near date to March IS,
with the income tax upon US, on which to sing
this touching little dtty of Peter st. Johns.
1t might help if the song were rendered with
appropriate gestures, with aid from chorus
and that vital assistance from trap drum
mer which would have made" that speech
Of Patrick Henry's. As: "C@sar had his

grind, boss drum and cy,nbols) may profit by

been far more effective in that pause than
cries of "Treasonl Treason!"
But to return to st. Johns song 1t is
entitled "Amcrcan Taxation" and before be-
ginning it, in the case Of FRANKIE and

vamp till ready.

After few more stanzas, come the reasons
why Lord North thought America would be
such nice place to tax. About the same the
cries seem to animate the collectors Of inter
nal revenue when they get their hooks in any
of the medium, underdone incomes,
such as the writer's.
There is wealthy people who sojourn in that land
Their churches all with steeples delicaeiy stand
Their houses like the gly painted red and gay;
They flourish like the lily in North America
Their land with milk and honey continually doth aow
Inc want of food money they seldom know.
They heap up golden treasure they have debts pay
They spend their time in pleasure in North America.
On turkey, fowls and fishes frequently they dine
With gold and silver dishes their tables also shine
They the feasts with butter they eat and rise
to play;
With silks the ladies futter in North America
With gold and silver laces they themselves adorn
ne rubes deck their faces refulgent the morn,
Wine spnrkles in their glasses they spend each happy
day
In merrimcnt and dances in North America.
