the words were written.
As Judge Francis Hopkinson
recorded the story. the evolution
from march to a nationally rec
ognized song was like this:
A young man with a talent for

Hopkinson came to him in great
distress one day over the poor
prospects for a theatrical benefit

later. He said he thought II he
could get the words of a patriotic
poem to fit The Presidents

Judge Hopkinson promised to help
him out and told him to come
back the next day. When he re-
turned Judge Hopkinson gave him
the poem which, with the music
became Hail Columbia.
The next night It was sung at
the thester and brought the crowd
to its feet. The singer was en-
cored several times and the audi
ence then took up the piece and
sang 1t Justify. particularly this
refrain:
Firm, united let MS be,
Rally round our liberty
As a band of brither,

lar with the public at once. A few
nights after the first presentation
President Adams and other heads
of the government went to the

Job Insurance Payments
Increase In Thirty States

Washington, D. C.-Paul " McNutt,
Federal Security administrator, re-
ported that job-insurance payments
increased in 80 states during Novem-
Der, rejecting unemployment due to
priorities and curtailment orders and
temporary lay-offs in plants retooling
for war production, plus the normal
seasonal declines in many fields.
However, decreases in such pay
ments in the other 18 states more
than offset the increases, and JOHN
surance disbursements for the whole
country dropped in November to a
new low of $21 ,066.400.
