THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
Before painting enameled wood
work if you will wash it with an am

Use adhesive tape to place your

GROWS TOO FAST FOR
BOLL WEEVILS
September 20, 1938.
Mr. G. W. Woodruff,
Winder, Ga.,
Dear Sir:
I planted 9 acres in cotton on
April 26th, used 300 pounds of Red
Bloom Fertilizer per acre, no side
dressing, and by the 20th of Sep
tember I had picked six bales of cot
ton, averaging weight 500 pounds
each.
The boll weevils worked less in
my cotton than in other fields near
me. The boys said that Red Bloom
cotton grows too fast for the boll
weevils to damage it very much.
Yours truly,
W. T. HALL.

Lights of New York
by L. L STEVENSON
New York is the home of Tin
Pan Alley. It is also the home cf
a number of well-known composer*
and the part-time home of many
others. On the West Coast, grind
ing out the tunes that are heard in
movie houses all over the world,
are many former New Yorkers in
whose being is still the tempo and
the feel of the metropolis. Yet New
York has no theme song. In fact
after two years of waiting with a
cash prize of $2,000 as bait, it is still
anthemless. Not only that but the
outlook is so hopeless that an an
them contest started away back in
January, 1936, has been called off.
The contest was sponsored by the
American Society of Composers, Au
thors and Publishers. It was the re
sult of a suggestion made by Mayor
Fiorello H. LaGuardia. In the be
ginning the sponsors were so opti
mistic they set a six-months limit.
On occasions the time was extended
until more than two years had
passed. But still no anthem!
• * *
Two thousand dollars represents
a lot of royalties especially in these
days when the radio runs a popular
song ragged practically overnight.
So there was no lack of contestants
for the A. S. C. A. P. prize. During
the time the contest ran, the award
committee, headed by Judge James
G. Wallace, examined more than
2,000 compositions. Included in the
manuscripts were many by compos
ers with established reputations. Tin
Pan Alley was heavily represented
because $2,000 is 2,000 bucks to Tin
Pan Alley. Unknowns, including
some who had never so much as
seen the city also entered their brain
children. But of all the tunes and
lyrics submitted, all supposedly por
traying the spirit and color of the
city for all time, not one was found
of sufficient vivid and lasting qual
ity to merit the award. '
* * *
Gene Buck, president of the A. S.
C. A. P., summed it up thus: “We
were looking for a fellow to capture
the city musically. The mayor and
I subscribed to the belief that this
town had a very definite tempo. If
some composer with a song in his
heart and some poet with a lilting
lyric in his bosom could have cap
tured this tempo, this city would
have had a swell theme song. Some
of the country’s outstanding songs
were written with just such pur
pose and under conditions we have
here.” He did admit it was a tough
assignment, however, since some
composers simply must wait for in
spiration—and so the city will have
to wait for its anthem.
* * *
It’s a rather long leap from music
to women’s hats but if someone
would start a contest for the fun
niest one, I could think of several
promising entries. Women’s hats
simply can’t escape observation, of
a mere man nowadays, especially if
he is a subway sardine. The thea
ter also gives opportunity for con
tact and comment. In fact condi
tions today bring back memories of
those old movie slides, “Ladies will
please remove their large hats.’*
The appearance of that request on
the screen always brought applause
from the male portion of the audi
ence—and sometimes caused the re
moval of a few hats. Maybe a re
vival of that old injunction might
do some good now. But my knowl
edge of feminine psychology being
what it is, I hesitate to make a pre
diction.
* • •
Coming downtown this morning in
the subway, I noted a stylish young
miss—and well worth noting she
was too, mates—who not only had
on one of those big skimmers but
projecting from the forward deck a
foot or more was a quill with an
extremely sharp point. Another
flash-back to olden days, when a
young lady, annoyed by a flirt, fed
him a half inch or so of hat pin.
And now that form of protection, ab
sent for years, has staged a come
back.
* * •
Saw something funnier than, hats
on Park avenue—a very dignified,
morning-coated gentleman endeav
oring to give a half-pint Pom an
airing. The pouting pooch simply
didn’t want to be led and when the
big fellow tried to pick it up, took a
bite at him. As I left the scene the
contest was still on—with the Pom
having most of the points.
