music. William Handy's father was a
minister and didn't approve of his son
becoming musician. In fact he for
bade him to have anything to do with
music. This wasn't going to defeat
Williams aspirations. He would wan
der out of the old woodshed and there
he'd practice his scales until he be-
came proficient and at the age of II
he left home and joined band.
Handy's first attempt at song writ
ing, according to his son, came about
through politics. A man by the name
of Krump was running for Mayor Of
Memphis, Tenn, and commissioned
William to write him a new campaign
song. 1t was called "Mr. Krump," but
later the title was changed to 1.-THE
Memphis Blues" Wyer Handy said
Private Handy said "a great many
people believed dad lived in st. Louis
for long time in order to be inspired
to write the song. Actually he only
made visit to st. Louis and the song
was written in Memphis"
Before his induction into the United
States Army, Private Handy worked
with his father in their music publish
ing house in New York.

Keep in Trim.

TOWARD THE end of the
second week of dieting, the nov
city wears thin and you are in
clined to get a bit careless with
the calories. So when you step
TO the scales this morning the
Indicator may be up a notch.
A fine thing, you fume. You
didn't eat nearly as much over
the weekend as you would have
liked-only two little pieces of
fried chicken, and not quite all
the desserts. If every little
calories counts, you are not
sure reducing is worth it.

Don't Put Food First

Now. hold everything! You
don't want to be fat another
year.
You hate the way stoutness
makes you look and feel-it
could be the reason. you tell
yourself, that you're not having
any fun.
II you take the fatal view
that since you're not getting
much else out of life you might
as we'll eat, you will be putting
food first. When you do that.
you let it take the place of all
other pleasures.
But the worst thing about ex-
cess fat is what il does 10 your
health. II is a definite handicap
and you can't look on il as any,
thing else. II cuts down your
energy and makes you tire more
quickly than you should.
Can't Be Soft
With times as tough as they
are, not one OF us can afford to
be soft. The way the majority
Of the women have come
through the last year is a credit
10 them. They had more gump-
ton than they themselves sus-
pected.
But that's not enough. They
are determined 10 he fit so they
can stand up TO harder jobs and
increased strain.
Bringing weight 10 normal is
part of the program.
You have made too good
start during the two weeks you
have been dieting TO give up
now The hardest tussle with
your appetite is over Even
though you did give il too free
a rein for a couple of days, il
isn't far ont Of hounds.
