Economic Program for Farmers
With the present outlook for con-
.;rued heavy expenditures by the
Federal government for war pur-
noses and a reduced amount of
| civilian goods, indications for the
Immediate future are for continu-
ing good prices. However, with
the closing Of the war and a re-
drction Of government expendl-
lures and an adjustment in agri-
culture and industry back to pro-
duction largely for civilian use,
there will most likely come a re-
duction in prices. The exact time
or extent Of the reduction can not
be predicted.
During the early phases Of ma
for wars. farmers should expand
production to the limit. However,
there comes a time because OF
uncertainties as to duration of the
war and the fact that prices will

ANY PUTS
 IN SCHOOL FOR
 GRADUATE WORK

Milwaukee. (UP)-The Illinois In- stitute of Technology has estab- lished . complete program of grad uate instruction for engineers at the Allis-C Chalmers Manufacturing Go. paving the way perhaps for many such programs after the war.
 Organized at the request of the company under the leadership of Dr. J. E. Hobson, director of elec- trical engineering at Illinois Tech and representative of the committee on graduate study, the plan is be- lieved to be the first of its kind In the Middle West.
 Courses leading to the masters degree in electrdical and mechan- ical engineering are offered The students are engineers, emlpoyeS of the company, and the iI1struc- tors are five faculty members of Illinois Tech. With the present cur- riculum the average student can earn his degree within four years, carrying on full-time employment at the same time.
 Dr. Hobson said that such trair1- ing must be conducted beyond the graduate level If young engineers are to be thoroughly qualified for their work and that the study will be more effective since done in close cooperation with the indus try.
 The plan, therefore, provides re- ciprocal gains for the industrial plant seeking qualified workers and for the educational institution which wishes to keep abreast ot new industrial developments.
 Many of the students are mid dle-aged men, holding responsible engineers are available after the war the company intends to employ sev- eral hundred and expects to ex- pand the new educational program to meet an anticipated heavy de- mand.
 One.third of the tuition costs of each student is paid by the corn- pany and if the course is completed satisfactorily, the firm will con- tribute another third. Enrolment in the five courses offered during the present term totals l22. Teach- CTS are Dr. LeVan Griffis, Dr. W. A. Lewis, Dr. Hahn Reingold, Prof. F. J. Vogel and Dr. Hobson. Sub- jects taught are electrical engineer ing, mathematics and mechanics.

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
 OFFERS GI LOAN AID By ANN STEVICK NEA Staff COrreSpOndent


 Washington, Dec. 20 - Letters from veterans in rural districts.
 Q. How do I go about getting a government guaranteed home loan? I've been to the bank here, but mo- body seems to know anything about it?
 A. You're really on your own un- til you find a money-lender-home loan agency, bank, or rich and will ing local citizen. There isn't any government machinery oiled up to find a lender to make the 50 per cent guaranteed home loans sent up in the CT Bill of Rights.
 Veterans Administration has done its utmost to get information to home loan agencies and banks, but is also hearing from veterans who meet a blank stare when they ask about CT loans. Since some 1,500 ap- plications for home loans are now on their way through VA approval, however, there must be a goodly number of lenders who are ready to make loans.
 VA Washington spokesmen ad- wise you to leave no stone unturned looking for local agencies to help you, such as American Lgion, Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, or Red Cross If that gets you nowhere, write to your regional Veterans Administra- tion office, whose address you prob ably have in your mastering -out documents. or to the national VA at

AEEMOS ABOUT SONG WRITERS
 Twenty years ego Irving Berlin wrote for Green Book magazine:
 Iheres no such thing as . new melody. There has been a standing offer in Vienna of $2S, 900 to any- one who can write eight bars of original music. The offer has been up for more than 30 years. Thou sands of compositions have been submitted, but all of them have been traced back to some other melody
 In the old days song writers usually wrote their songs in hotels, and there were frequent com platnts from neighbors. Howarda Dietz, after having been moved out { few times. once said to Arthur schwartz, "You1l notice nobody complaints about the lyrics"
 Rodgers and Hart once wrote a prayer song titled, "Oh, Lord, Would You Make Me a Starr" Because it had beautiful lyrics, the publish CT (Robbins) persuaded Hart to give it a more suitable title. Hart said, T suppose you want me to call 1t something like Blue Moon'?" It became "Blue Moon"a and sold l. O00.OO0 copies.
 The best way for a beginning song writer to turn out hit is to stick to the subject of love.
 Some songs take long time to write, and some are dashed of Hammerstein three weeks to write the lyrics for When I Grow Too Old to Dream" but Louisiana Hayride," was written in half an hour.
 Vincent Youmans whistles his music instead of using 3 plano.
 Song. writerS are often inspired at odd moments. One night Rodg- CTS and Hart were speeding through Paris in a taxicab when they had a near collision. The girl with them said, Gosh, my heart stood still" That became the title of 3 hit.
 
 Arthur Schwartz broke into song writing with the New York Univ. touchdown song, Smash, Crash Right Through"
 One night Schwartz was stuck for song for 'The Bandwagon," He went to Q hotel and for 8 week couldn't get an inspiration. One day a swedish maid came in and asked nin what he was doing. Arthur told her he was trying to write song. In a heavy Swedish accent she suggested, Why don't you write about how you love Louisa? That's me" Arthur wrote the song which became the hit of the show the ditty, T Love Louisa" On opening night the girl was intro duced from the stag0 and given a big check.
 one song writer. Dave Clark, specializes in tunes with crazy titles. He's written, Don't Miss It If You Can" and T Felt So Blue wanted to Jump Out Of the River"
 The most famous of all musical producers in England is Charles B. Cochran, who gave Noel Coward his first chance. He will be character ized in the Cole Porter picture, Night and Day"
 There are many freak songs that don't become hits until years after they are written. Begin the Beguine- became popular three

years after it was first introduced when Artie Shaw made a. record- ing of 1t. Arthur Schwartz one wrote a song titled. T Guess III Have to Change My Plans" It never became hit until 9 vaude- vile tleam named Delys and Clark sang 1t by request every night for an old German beer baron, who called the song Blue PajamaS' (a word combination in the song).
 The popular song that sold the most copies is 'Till We Meet Again" l" It sold 6,0O0,0OO copies.
 Fred Fisher, the song writer, worked 24 hours day when he was inspired. Billy Rose relates that one ayem Fred called him and said, 'Billy, I got 1t! I can rhyme Nicholas with ridiculous"
 People in other fields have writ- ten big hits, l. e., Producer John Golden wrote Poor Butterfly" ex- Mayor James Walker wrote "Will You Love Me in December As You Do in May" Dorothy Parker wrote How Am I to Know?"
 Much criticism has meen made. that songs of this war aren't as good as the songs of World War I. But here are some of the olg. hit war songs of this war: White Cliffs of Dover" Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition, Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer" and White Christmas" z
 During the last war humorous song titles weret he vogue. For inc stance, Would You Rather Be Colonel with An Eagle on Your Shoulder, or a Private with a Chick en on Your Knee?" and If He Fights Like He Makes Love, God Help Germany"
 While "The Peanut Vendor" was one of Americas most popular dance numbers, 1t was a flop in England because peanuts there are known as monkey nuts," which proved metrically impossible.
 For years in New York Wool worth's was the hangout for song writers who stool around the coun- ters watching the 10c sheet music sell. Smiles" sold 5000, 900 copies, 8 great chunk of which went over the counter at the 5 'n' los.
 Today song plugging is a high presSured, high-powered business, but when it first began the main duty of the song plugger was to make the rounds of movie houses and talk to pianists there. A plugger would usually reach about ten a night. Today plugger, by getting a song played on a net work broadcast, reahceS millions.
 When anyone asks Dick Rodgers what comes first, the words or the music, he says, '"The check!"
