SONGS OF OTHER DAYS. perhaps This Will Toll You Some thing You'd Like To Know. The successis of ?? song is a strange thing;. nays Gas Logic, New York. Although some few successes have been instant and lasting, many fail ure* have later become universal fav orites. Lyrics buried in folios and accidentally brought to light have come to live in people's hearts. Song writers have sold songs "for a song," to learn to their sorrow, afterwards, that these have earned fortunes for others. Publishers have had the vex ation of rejecting manuscripts that subsequently took the public by storm. Every universally loved song has in it that indefinable something that li n<is a ready response in human emotion. Yet, unless it has been of fend at the psycological time it has known failure. Consider "There's a Long, Long Trail," one of the nineteen songs re cently voted by community song lead ers as the best of American origin used in community singing. It has been predicted that this is the only World War song that will live. Ac cording to Howard Wade Kimsey, di rector of Music at the New York Army Y. M. C. A. and leader of the Consolidated CJas Company communi ty singing, more American soldiers knew it than any other song except "My Country 'Tis of Thee." It was written by Zo Elliott and Stoddard King while both were writing the Jun ior Vale play. They needed ohe more sentimental song. Mr. Elliott was improvising when the music came. Stoddard King wrote the words al most immediately. Later, thinking the song had commercial possibilities, they peddled it vainly to every pub lisher. While in England on pleasure Klliott finally sold it to an English publisher, and their American agent "took, it over." "I sang that song a whole week in 1916, before, America entered the war," said Mr. Kimsey, "and couldn't put it over.- Yet^when-I used it ij?, camp as every song leader did ? ana nobody told us to ? ? it went big right from the start. As one doughboy said, it 'seemed to fulfill a longing in our hearts that we would go back down the trail.' I predict that gen erations from now will see 'There's a '-ong, Long Trail' among our coun try s permanent folksongs." "lill We Meet Again," by Richard Whiting and Kay Eagan, also has an exoii.-ut chance to live. In wartime it was the only song that expressed Right Now! Stovetime calls for more than the mere installa tion of heaters and ranges. Accessories are important to both com fort and safety, whether you have new stoves or are putting up old ones, New stove pipe, elbows, damper joints and new zinc stove boards give a bright newness to a room in step with the long hours of fall house cleaning. * Mackey Mercantile Company contact be^veen tho boya and home. Fxcellent for impromptu part sing ing, its high soprano being especially liked by women, it cannot. pow be left oUf a song sheet. ? It is of compelling interest' that three of the songs chosen as among the country's best are by Stephen Col lins Foster, whose lyrics possess ele ments of immortality. I, ike most pop ular composers, Foster was impracti cal. A year ago the publishers were offered $<Jf>,000 for the original man uscript of "Old Qlack Joe." on the list with "Old Folks at Home" and "My Old Kentucky Home." Yet, like O. Henry, Foster lived a poverty-strick en life. . Fst ranged from his family, unable to support himself, and a victim of lazy habits, be composed only when forced to get money for lodgings, and drink, writing on paper scraps and selling h|s songs for five or six dol lars. His favorite haunt "was a "Third avenue grocery with a 'grog ery' in the rear." Here ho wrote .many of his tender melodies, often with a cracker barrel as a desk. Tho story runs that one night, as his songs were sung to a packed hall,' he listened out side, ragged and hungry, Last year an original manuscript signed by him, contracts with his signatures, and sev eral letters were sent by his New York publishers to the Copyright Department in Washington "for safe keeping, for Stephen Collins Foster has become a national character." The centennial of "Home, Sweet Home," by John Howard Payne, was recently celebrated. One of the world's loveliest songs, it secured for Miss M. Tree, the first to sing it a husband and a mansion filled with plenty while the author was ii# a lonely and al most hopeless struggle with pinching want. It is said that he not only lost the twenty-five pounds which were to have 'been paid to him for the copy right, but was not even given a com plimentary copy of his own song by the publishers. Jenny Lind, however, repaid him 111 a great national hall ot Washington; before a most distin guished audience she turned to him and sang his beautiful song. There has been a doubt among musical peo ple as to whether the song was sung off stage in "Clari, or the Maid of Mi lan." According to an old acting copy of the play, it was sung by Clari on stage in the first act, and behind the scenes by villagers in act two. "Dixie," is at present loved by both North and South. The story is told that on the evening of June 28th, 1901 the orchestra of the Waldorf-Astoria struck up "Dixie" particularly for its Southern patrons, while the author, a poor old minstrel, loved by his hum ble neighbors, but forgotten by the ?world at large, lay dying in a little clapboard hut on the outskirts of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. The minstrel was Dan iel Decatur Emmett. The only source of information available about "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" is a sheet of the song in the collection of the New York Pub lic Library. It bears the name ^pi John F. Perry, of Boston, as publisher and the copyright date, 187.8, al though there is every indication that this popular song is older than that. According to this sheet, the author wrote many other negro songs. Ten years ago there raged in the South a controversy concerning "I've Been Working on the Railroad," one faction claiming the work was done on the "levee." Both were proven cor rect. It was a "levee" song originally but when the negroes who worked on the railroad sang the song, they changed it to suit their occupation. A bit of doggerel, it came into popular ity through the negro "spirituals." "There's an interesting bit of psy chology about "Li'P Liza Jane," written by Countess Ada De Lachau. As an ice breaker, it is the best that song leaders know. With a new crowd its success is tremendous. The chance to "holler" in the refrain provokes great fun. But one tires of the song. It is related that the words of "America, the Beautiful", were writ ten by Katherine Lee Bates, a profes sor of English at Wellesley college, upon her return from her first trip to the summit of Pike's Peak, where the opening lines had been inspired by the beautiful view of spacious skies and purple mountain majesties. After the text was written, six musical set tings of the poem were published. However, the public by its use of the hymn tune, "Materna," written by Samuel A. Ward has shown its pref erence for this version so unmistaka bly that it is the one now commonly used. Thus, an adaptation of a tune written for other purposes has been accepted instead of any of the actual settings of the poem. It has been re marked by critics that the phrase, "America the Beautiful," is nowhere accompanied by musio so effectively as in this version. "Good Night, I^adies," is one of those traditional songs, the origin of Which is lout, and which appears ip every collection of college songs. Who does not know the stories of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," of "America/' of "Tb? Star Spangled Banner," of "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean"? Hut the story of the writing of "A Perfect DuyM is hot so familiar. Mrs. Carrie Jacobs* Band had recently viewed a beautiful sunset from a high mountain. Several months later, rid ing across the desert, in the moonlight with some friends, she began to hum a tune to the words. Someone Remark ed, "You have a new song, haven't you?" She replied, "I didn't know it. but i>erha|>s 1 have.'' That night the music was composed and the song was published within a few months. FRANK LIN USKS LESS THAN K (jUAKT OF Oil. IN 1101 MII KS. A stock 1084 Franklin Sedan has just completed a New York-to-Chi eago run of 1104 miles on a trifle less than three-quarters of a quart of oil! The hood was denied during the entire trip, which was staged under the sup ervision of the Automobile tllub of America. Th<j car left New York at 4:80 A. M. on Tuesday, November (?, and arrived at Chicago at 9:29 P. M., Central time, on Wednesday, Novem ber 7. Stops were made at Albahy, Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland, Howling Green and South Bond to replenish the gasoline supply and take pictures of the car in these cities. The elapsed running time was 41 hours and 60 minutes; the actual run ning time was 37 hours and 4 min utes or an average of 29.78 miles per hour. A pace better than an ordinary touring rate was maintained through out the trip. The gasoline average was 10.56 miles to the gallon. Strong head winds were encountered all day Wednesday. Four passengers and bag gage were carried throughout the trip, and most of the time the load included live passengers. The purpose'of the Franklin Com pany in staging this run was to es tablish under official observation the oil economy of the new 1024 Franklin, and at the same time observe gasoline consumption under fairly strenuous conditions. Only .730 of a quart of oil was used on the entire journey of 1104 miles, or in other words, the oil consumption amounted to less than three-quarters of a quart. Crankcasu dilution, which amounted to nine per cent, was considered in arriving at this figure, which was checked by the 'Armour Institute of Technology of Chicago. Oil consumption was at the rate of 1,498 miles to the quart or 5,902 miles to the gallon. It was not the purpose of the test, however, to encourage automobile drivers to run long distances on a filling of oil. On the cohtrary, Franklin engineers en dorse the present lubrication theory of changing oil frequently. Three Franklin officials alternated as drivers. G. L. Schaefer and Percy Charles, both of New'York City, were the official representatives of the Automobile Club of America on the trip and they acted as observers throughout the entire journey. Geo. T. Little, of Camden, sells Franklin cars in this territory. ? Adv. I High School Honor Roll For October. Senior Class ?
