The island is 1O5 miles long and 37 miles wide. On it's northern side is the Atlantic ocean, and to the south stretches the Caribbean sea.
 Several times this island has been

 The next step is to fit the pieces where they belong. The letters on the pieces will help you if you have guessed the right name and know the spelling

New York-Tin Pan Alley-or,
 rather. what's left of it-once more
 is witnessing complete topsy- -turvy

 Not that the alley where songs come from isn't used to this sort of thing. Having lived through movie theme songs, it considers itself cap- able of enduring almost anything. But the current appetites have
 turned so completely "hill billy
 and in the direction of mourful bal lads that some consideration has to be taken of this change of tastes. Such titles as Don't Send My Boy to Jair' are all the vogue. And the themes also run to such waltzish refrains as may be found in Some where in Old Wyoming" And if that isn't right out of the old barber

 too. And the radio programs fairly
 groan with numbers that have slight association with the Vo-de-o-do era. Whatever may be behind this sud-
 den reversion to the ballad school
 of song, song publishers have long
 been aware that the best sellers in

 timental waltz variety. Something

I heard about how successful songs
 came to be written.
 Take Freddie Coots-or leave him! Coots has had about 12 hits ina row, which is quite record. And these include such favorites as "I Still Get Thrill and "Why?" Not so many months ago, this
 young man was wondering both how and why. He was out of a job and his wife didn't seem able to get a | musical connection, either. They were rapidly getting on their uppers hoping for something to turn up soon.
 Well" he commented on a day
 when things looked pretty black, Anyway, honey, We still have got that precious little thing called
 love-"
 Wait a minute-that sounds like a good title."
 This, so I am told, is how "That Precious Little Thing Called Love" happened to be written. And it was
 the beginning of Coots' rise to his
 present peak.
 The most successful of all the cur
 rent writers is the team of De Sylva

 Though at your catafalque may weep A million eyes; Great man of time,
 For through your genius grim You spoiled the wrath of him Across the Rhine. Sleep on great heart,
 The ghosts of poilu dead
 Swish past your sombre bed; They played their part; Your sword is sheathed,
 But in this busy world
 A flags unfured What you bequeathed. Sleep on, great soul.
