Song Hits You'll Hear at Sousa's
Concert

There Is always good standard
music In a Sousa program. Also
there Is always plenty of music of the
lighter type. He does not neglect the
popular songs of the hour. he always
includes medley, a novelty of his
own devising and number of his
own marches, new and old.
Sousa's most popular composition
"Stars and Stripes Forever" has
never been out of one of his programs
since it was composed, so we are sure
to get it this year.
This most popular march ever
written" is nearly thirty years old.
We, as a nation, began to hum it
back in 1898, at the time we were at
war with Spain. When the war
ended. we kept on humming it. We
are still humming it. We hummed it
when we went into the World War.
What is more. we have learned how
to cheer it; it is, perhaps, the most
vitality American tune anybody has
heard.
Every year as his patrons we'll
know. John Philip Sousa sets his
lively fancy to work on a humoresque
or fantasia built on one of the recent
fad tunes. Last year. he took 1.-The
Silver Lining" from sally" and made
it the basis of one of the most enter
tanning numbers in his program. This
year. his fancy turns to Mr.. Gal
lagher and Mr.. Shean."
One of the 1921 -22-23 hits in John
Philip Sousa's programs was THE
Fancy of the Mountaineering this
town, that town, any town. 1t proved
in the first unfolding, to be an in
genious potpOurri. in Sousa's best
style. OF a song-hit year for the
preceding ten years.

New York, Sept 16.-The jury of
seven which will award the 100000
prize offered by Edward w. Box,
Philadelphia publicst. for a practical
plan whereby the United States may
cooperate with other nations to pre-
vent war, was named today by the
Policy Committee which has been adj
ministcring the award.
In the list appears the name of
Elihu Root, prominent lawyer who
served in the Mckinley and Roose-
Welt cabinets and winner of the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1912. whose selection
for the jury was reported some time
ago.
Serving with him are:
Colonel Edward NJ. House, former
confidant of Woodrow Wilson, who
served as special representative of
the United States government at the
nter-allied conference of Premiers
and foreign ministers held in Paris

dor to Belgium.
"Those seven have been chosen"
tho Policy Committee explained,
after many weeks of careful consid-
Grafton. on the basis of selection
which aimed not at securing a jury
made up of representatives of varied
groups and sections. but which aimed
instead at getting seven men and wo-
men generally recognized to be emil
nently fitted by capacity and expert
cnce to deal with the exceedingly
difficult and complex subject of our
International relations. The Com
mittee regarded the work of the
jurors as a highly important judicial

and experience.

be in by November Is. Fifty thou
sand dollars will be paid to the win
ner as soon as the jury makes its de-
cision and the other fifty thousand

Award plans to use January to sub
NIT the winning plan to the Amer
lean people for nation wide vote.
In this 60 national organiza tons will
cooperate. 1t is expected that the
