Irving Berlin. "I fervently believe that 'God Bless America* is the most important thing I have written in 35 years as a composer of songs. "There is a story behind "God Bless America.' X composed it over 20 years ago, for the finale of a play, 'Yip, Yip, Yaphank' which in 1917, I wrote for the soldiers when I was Sergeant Berlin at Camp Upton. As the boys were on their ways to France, I didn't think it was quite appropriate, so I put it aside and wrote a new song. "Two years ago I wanted to write a great American song about peace," Berlin continued. "I was on the He de France, and returning from London, where I had attended the British premiere of 'Alexander's Rag Time Band.' I had been through the Munich crisis. When I was home, nothing I .wrote seemed adequate. Then 1 remembered 'God Bless America.* "I had to change the melody of the middle bars and change two lines which had a war-like note to it: her victorious on land and sea.' "The lines 1 substituted read: " "From the • mountains,- to the prairies, oceans .white with foam,' Kale Smith wanted ar. especial SOOg to sing on Armistice day, I gave her 'God Bless America.' The country began to sing it over night, and yet it was not published for a year and a' half after that broadcast.** ;y.*| -- 4 . , • Bine Crmby Tell* Women Winning W«j. Willi Men Any girl who possesses charm should be able to win her man. For with that gift, she can be homely and yet be attractive and winning, says Bing Crosby. "Charm has many attributes and qualities, but there are five prerequisites which I consider essential. "The first is that she always act like a lady. She can be a good sport, but with a moral code. "Next I visualize a charming lady as one who has a sense of humor, warm sympathy toward people, a pleasing voice, grace and tact. Whatever she does and says gives pleasure. She can take a "ribbing." and yet not be'offended. Better still, she can come back with all the answers. "She must have also steadiness and balance. She must be the sort that doesn't 'fly off the handle' over trivial things, that isn't forever fussing and fidgeting. When you are with her, you have the feeling that she possesses 'great inner poise and serenity. It relaxes and soothes you to be with her. "And, finally, I think that the charming woman is always natural and sincere. Her simplicity, her frank, open manner, are the great* est elements of her charm. She isn't attempting to be something that she is not and doesn't assume airs. "Nothing makes a man feel more uncomfortable than a woman who poses and he cannot be permanently attracted to ,her."

Kitchen Team' ' • A tether step in the dirtetMi of effortless housekeeping and greater compactness and beauty in kitchen equipment is a new electric dishwasher installed with a twin basin cabinet type sink. The dishwasher is filled from the spout of the sink, which is made extra long, and emptied through the sink drain. Thug the "tearing" of the two units effects a saving in plumbing materials as well as installation cost. - The dishwashing unit is concealed in an attractive all-steel cabinet harmonizing with the rest of the kitchen cabinets. Two sliding dish racks are easily and conveniently loaded or unloaded and provide sufficient capacity so that dishwashing is necessary only once a day, at a convenient time. The racks may also be used for the storage of soiled dishes for washing later. The electric unit not only washes the dishes but also dries them. No attention is required while the ma chine is in operation. Inasmuch as dishes are not in motion while being washed, there is no danger of breakage: The dishwashing unit opens from the front, thus making the satire tap available as work space.

Much progress has been made in late years in treating broken bones in the legs. There was a time when they meant weeks in the hospital before the patient could start the period on crutches. Thanks to a modern method of making casts, hospital treatment is not now needed in some cases of broken bones, although other breaks cannot be treated properly anywhere except in a hospital. For the quick and excellent way of learning exactly what a break is like, we may thank the X-ray machine. It makes it possible to take a photograph through the flesh, and the negative can be finished within a few minutes when necessary. In case there is a bad injury to the hand or arm, foot or leg, it is well to remember the value of the X-ray. Many times a person thinks he has only "sprained" an ankle or wrist when the. fact is that he hfls broken it. *3'm*' ! & Origin ef SaWtagi The word "sabotage," much In the is from the French "sabot"-- a wooden shoe. In its original interpretation, the meaning came from the practice of throwing a wooden shoe into the machinery in order to stop production.

Do littt «#^febble." The name Babel did not derive from the confusion of tongues, or .babbling, which the Lord's wrath brought about. Babel is simply the name of the city in the land of Shinar where the tower was built. It is from the Assyro-Babylonian word- BAB-ILU, whereas babble is from the Latin BABULUS, meaning babbler. Babel should not rhyme with dabble, gabble, rabble. It should rhyme with fable, gable, table. Correct pronunciation : BAY-b'l." ftevice for Weaning Calves An electric calf-weaner has been invented by Patrick Kelly of Anatone, Wash. The device consists of a small battery that fits around the calfs neck and a metal contraption that rests on its nose. A wire connects the two. When the calf is ready for food, the metal contraption touches the animal and closes ao electric circuit, In this way the calf is shocked. The device should make it more pleasant tor the mother and at the same time give tbe baby a quicker start in life. Mary Catorta Mystery The Mary Oeleste was a sailboat which left New Yoric harbor on November 7, 1871, under Capt. Benjamin S. Briggs. She was laden with alcohol ipil hqimd for Genoa. Five weeks lain thf ship was found abandoned in the Atlantic 300 miles west of Gibraltar. The crew has never been heard from. Prop for A handy and serviceable prop for fruit tree limbs is made by cutting sections from an old automobile casing about four fetches long, with a hack saw and nailing them on the end of a pole of suitable length. This forms a Y, which will not slip from the limb and will not chafe the bark.

Sound wavesr which differ basically from light and radio waves, travel at only one-fifth of a mile per second.

Soft water contains no minerals, so it produces a soapy lather in which dirt is soluble. Boiling will soften hard water to some degree, because the process of boiling precipitates the carbonates in the water.
