More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE GUILTY PARTY.


''Music increases drinkHGg."-An Of
fetal Observer.
When Music, heavenly maid, was
young,
While yet in early Greece she sung
Her strains upon the young folks
burst
And reused in them a burning thirst.
Till at the bars they formed, in line
To drink full deep of Samian wine
And thus upon us, one and all,
Was flung the curse of alcohol.
In days that followed, minstrels came
To chant of love and deeds of fame,
And as their notes rose, sweet and
clear,
The people thought Of wine and beer;
And while those ancient lays were
trolled,
A lot of both these drinks were sold
But when no minstrels happened by
The countryside was always dry.
The tapsters soon found out that song
Reused love for liquor in the throng,
And brought men in to sing and play
On harps and zithers night and day.
And to the CHEEKY pink, pink, plank
The people drank and drank and
drank
Till every hostelry was made
To drive very prosperous trade.
While still our bands hold out to blare,
While syncopation fills the air,
At Mr., VOlStead we must wink
And, willy nilly have our drink.
And at the statutes we shall flout
Till Music has been voted out
If Volstead would destroy our thirst
He'll have to Danish music first!

Typetvriting to Music

In certain college in London,
England, girls learn typewriting to
the accompaniment Of fox trots and
military marches If girl has
good sense Of rhythm, this system
hastens the early stages Of training
in a remarkable way. Gramophone
records are used, and pupils first type
words of three letters to a military
march in four-four time, one letter
to a beat and the space movement to
the fourth. Progress is then made in
words Of different lengths, until final
ly whole sentences are typed. When
speed increases, students type two
letters to each beat. The idea behind
this system is that regular rhythmic
movements are less firing than irreg
ular ones, which waste the workers
energy.

Great Metropolis Has
Seen Many Reuerses

London existed as town before
the Romans licked 1t into shape be-
hind the great wall that still can be
traced, II tradition may be accepted.
The Thames was unconfned and
spread sluggishly among the reeds;
the tide came up, forcing it to form
backwaters and inundating the wide
tracts Of marshes. A thousand years
after the Romans left, the houses,
matched with reeds, still were over
looked by woods and thickets, inhabit-
ed by deer and wild boars and the
swamps were alive with bittern and
duck. All the time London was grow
ing, but on no settled plan. The proc
ess of development was continually
interrupted, yet after each check 1t
went on again. Boadicea destroyed
it; the Danes wiped 1t out; Alfred
the Great rebuilt it and within a CEN
fury 1t was burned to the ground.
Thereafter, fire and pestilence swept
over it at frequent intervals, but 1t
emerged stronger from every trial.
London refused to be removed from
the map, and its persistence was a
visible expression of the determine
ton of its people and vindication OF
its position as world mart.-Van-
couver Province.

Is stated to have died from "gowte"
