NEW YORK, Oct. II. The girl who sat in a New York apartment and made fortune
 writing songs with Spanish
 themes is going to Spain for tho first time. a.s..- Mabel Wayne, who ias Tin Pan Alleys only woman jazz compos- fer has accumulated wealth esti- mated in six figures from royal ties on three popular songs, will visit Andalusia. There she ex- poets to write down hitherto un- written folk music and later transpose it into gay jazz melody
 Miss Wayne formerly was a vaudeville pianist. She broke the Alleys masculine domination last year when somehow she drew in spiration from her West End apartment for the music of a song, Tn Little Spanish Town, :" which was popular all the way to Madrid and back again by way of Havana. She followed it with Ramona, from which alone she reaped $50,000 royalties. Now a third is enjoying similar sue cess.
 Jazz is the voice of the mod ern age, but the ancient folk tunes of all countries, in fact all races, runs through it." she says, explaining her Spanish trip. q have always liked Spanish music, and what I could catch seeond- hand in this eountrxI tried to put into my songs. Whats funny about going te Spain to get more of the same thing st-hand?"
 She chose Andalusia in par ticular because she heard it's folk music has the virile, emotional ly stirring qualities" associated with American jazz.

 " A SHIN GTON,i Oct. H. "Derby Dick" would like to so to the tenth annual reunion of the First Division. A. E. F., in Los Angeles October IS. But he re- grets, unfortunately, that he will be detained It is a matter of further regret to him that he tannot even pay his dues.
 Eighteen months he served in the pioneer American division in the World War. He walked with that exaggerated carefulness of the attacker through the blasted woods of France, went through the fighting horror of Cantigny, Chateau-Thierry, the Argonne-- there are plenty of memories crowding Derby Dicks mind, for he has little to do.
 T received your kind letter with an invitation to attend the reunion next October" he wrote Capt Henry c. Evans of Balti- more. T appreciate your kind ness. However. I am very sorry to say 1 will be unable to attend on account of these high gray walls being quite impossible to climb, to say nothing of the many rifles scattered along the top"
 Derby Dick has crowned an ad- venturous life with a long prison sentence. He is in a west coast Jail.
 His answer to the mimeograph- ed invitation to attend the gath ering is regarded as representa- tive of the affection of the thou sands of men who served in the division for the old outfit and it's commander, Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall.
 Derby Dick, whose real name Is withheld, is a. Britisher. For 80 years, he fought under the Union Jack. He was in the Boer

SMYRNA, Oct. 11.-The first Turkish girl tc choose aviation for q career is about to leave for France to study for her pilots license, after being refused ad- mission at the sole. aviation school in Turkey.
 She is Sureya IIanem, daugh- ter of wealthy Smyrna mer- chant, who with five other Turk ish girls applied for admission to the Constantinople aviation school this year. The transfor- maticn of the school from it's original civil status into a purely military institution caused the government to turn down the girls applications.

10 O'Clock Typists Do
 Not Fret in Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. H. When the office boy CT fiapper stenographer in Buenos Aires is late at the office there may be Ia valid reason. If it is bad weather, an excuse is not evi- dence but a rain-check is.
 The railroads running into the suburbs of this Argentine capital have devised a scheme to protect their regular passengers in bad weather when trains are behind schedule.
 The commuters have only to ask the ticket-agent on such oc- casions for "rain-check" and this is given them, duly stamped and netting the number of min utes their train was behind schedule in leaving for the city.
