WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The ar i. my's cry of disapproval al the sug- gestion of General Johnson Ha- good that the next war be fought in overalls could be heard, figura- lively speaking, half way down Pennsylvania Avenue.
 General Hagood is recalled as the officer who once described WPA funds as stage money and there
 by paved the way for ending h military career and beginning a lit- erary career.
 Hagood's idea was that war was no time for fuss. feathers and brass , buttons. War is time to get men in the field, skilled as well as they can be in the time allowed, ana ready with a serviceable weapon to meet the enemy.

What will come Of Fagood's sug- gestion is -problematical. The army's new national defense scheme con- templates mobilization of domestic production but makes no mention of Tapping pants.
 Hagood may have made his state ment with a sardonic eye to prod- ding the army management into a soul-searching survey as to whether some of its thus and so" regula- tions can't be forgotten in time of war. Commanders often break them when they can't benefit by them.
 Hagood is probably right at least in one respect. If the enemy be- 5 gan laying down a harrage on Se- attle or Newport News, chances are the defense would be mobiliized in the best it could find in a hurry, without insisting on bottle-necked pants.

Here are the "seven car dinal sins" for women, which, Mae West says, are responsible for more brok- en romances and smashed marriages than any other reason:
 1. Putting on makeup at the dinner table.
 2. Asking a man where he has been before.
 3. Holding him up on a date.
 4. Babying him when he's disconsolate.
 5, Not babying him when he's sick or "hangoverish." !"
 6. Letting him see you when you're not at your best.

A prolonged demonstration
greeted Principal Musician Sieg
fried Scharbau last night at the
Marine Barracks as he conducted
the premier of his own musical
setting to the epic poem, "The
Dome Of the Capitol" by Repre-
sentative Samuel B. Pettingiu.
The vocal part. which was sung
by Principal Musician Winfred
Kemp, was preceded by q lengthy
introduction in which themes
from Hail, Columbia" and
"Suwanee River" were intro
duced and developed. The in
PRODUCTION is made up Of melodic
phrases with broad sweeping
glimpses of the work that is to
follow.
The nature OF the poem, being
in free verse and changing FIRE
quently and abruptly from one
idea to the next. precludeS any
possibility Of q rhythmic melody
for the words. Mr.. Scharbau
had to resort for the most part
to the recitative form for the
voice. There are many emphatic
and dramatic statements that
lend themselves well to this form
Of song.
With orchestral interludes be-
tween almost every line or two
that were sung, the predominence
Of the instrumental rather than
the vocal parts was evident. There
were times when it seemed that
the voice might have been given

sometimes lengthy orchestral in
terludes gave the impression Of
slow movement.
AS the work progresses in spirit
with the text of the poem, q beauti-
full and mighty climax Is worked
UP until the latter five or six
lines of the poem. Here the work
gives the impression Of having
passed the climax, and, instead Of
reserving the greatest climax for
the ending, the musical resources
seem to have been exhausted. but
the spirit Of the poem still climbs.
Doubtless Mr.. Scharbau will
work over the ending and give it
more fitting climax. The voice
of Mr.. Kemp, while Of q pleasing
tonal quality and well manipu-
lated, was rather light for this
type of work. The work was con-
