the financial condition of the

A Few Refuse

On November Is, plain Fact"
said that the reason the Jews
are prosecuted is because they
"stiek together to build a
Jewish nation within the other
nation, in order to get on top"
Does it sound plausible that
people should be prosecuted
simply for their loyalty to each
other? No, plain Fact" I be-
lieve that, if you stop to think,
you will realize that every
place where the Jews have set
tied, they have been an asset,
and not a liability to the coun-
try. The Jews do not attempt
to build another nation within
the nation in which they have,
as you stated, "been given
sanctuary"
On the contrary, they only
strive to become a part Of that
nation, and to work for the
benefit of it, and it is only a
few, very, very few, belligerent
countries that refuse to give the
Jews an honest chance.

3. Mr.. w. R. Tracy sent in
this algebra problem: The
head of a fish weighs Is pounds.
Its tail weighs as much as the
head plus half the weight of the
body, and the body weighs as
much as the head and the tail
together. What is the weight
of the fish?
4. Miss Lucy Brothers would
like to have this problem
answered: "A boat travels IL
miles per hour in still water,
or could make a 60-mile trip in
still water in five hours. But
in a running stream it went 80
miles downstream in two hours
and 80 miles back upstream in

6. Two readers differ on this
old puzzler and would like to
have the argument settled: "A
customer buys pair of shoes
costing eight dollars. The clerk
has no change for the twenty
dollar bill which the customer
gives him, so he goes next door
to ask the butcher to change
the bill. When the clerk returns
he gives the customer twelve
dollars change, and the shoes
he purchased. Later the butcher
demands the return of his
twenty dollars because the bill
is counterfeit, so the clerk has to
give him twenty dollars. How
much does the clerk actually

UEVERY song writer believes
he is better than Berlin.
This attitude has given rise to
one Of the most nefarious rack
cts in the United States. The
numbers racket and the truck
ing racket in New York are
petty larceny projects compared
with the millions Of dollars
yearly which go to the song
sharks.
Scores of your own readers
have answered this ad:
1--WE Consider Songs for Pub
lication.'
THE products of this racket
are in great majority the songs
and lyrics you have on your desk.
The sucker bites and is told his
song is the work of a genius.
He pays $50 to 500 to have his
effort published The amateur
song writer should remember
never to pay for publication of
his song. No legitimate pub
Usher will charge for this service.
If the song can't get by on its
merits it is better to forget about
it.
"On many occasions, even
though a song has been accepted
by a publisher, it is never pub
liShed These men have as
many as a thousand accepted
songs on their lists but are in q
position to publish only one at a
time. I recently saw a song on
a publishers shelf which he had
accepted in 1920 end had not as
yet been able to fit it into the
scheme Of things, or the fashion,
or what have you.
S"HB amateur omposer
= would do well to realize
that there are only about 80
composers in the entire country
making a livelihood at song
writing. Many of our leading
composers are engaged in other
fields Of endeavor and do not de-
pend on song writing for an
existence. Teddy Powell, writer
of Boots and Saddles is en-
ployed by Bandleader Abe Ly-
man as a guitariSt. Hoagy Car
michael, writer of 'Stardust'
and many other successes, is a
practicing lawyer.
There is so much to learn
and so much to avoid in this
business of song writing that I
shall call a halt here by just CIV
ing a few, quick tips to am
ateurS:
Cd Don't answer song shark
ads.
(2) Don't go to New York to
see the publishers. They aren't
interested.
90 Don't pay to publish your
own songs.
"a Remember that legiti-
mate publishers do not advertise
for song writer's.
90 Ignore the letters you re-
ceive from other countries ask
ing for manuscripts. These are
also song sharks"
In brief, Mr.. Hackerman sug-
gests that all of you stick to a
