The 4,500 workers who have given their time and energies to the c paign without reward, except the sat- isfaction in doing a hard job well, will continue their solicitations up to 8 o'clock, the hour for the mass meeting to open.

With a seating capacity of about| 4.500, it will be a disappointment to | Chest officials if Constitution Hall is not packed from balecony to orchestra pit. ~ Persons who have doubted the need for a Community Chest in Wash- ington or some of the reasons givea for its existence especially are invited to at- tend tonight's meeting and hear the work of the organization explained’ by Chest officials. The meeting opens promptly at 8 o'clock and the whole program will not exceed two hours, Following a concert by the United States Marine Band, which has volun- teered its services, Rabbl W. F.

Chiet interest centers on the reports of the campaign solicitation units upon final drive. These will begin with the | which Merritt O. Chance is chairman. Its members include the house-to-house canvassers, and their reports will be rendered through their divisional cap- tains. Frank R. Jelleff, chairman of the Group Solicitation Unit, which has been canvassing in places of business which hire 25 employes or more, will next render his report. The work of this important unit was only partially completed last Saturday and since then it has made a great stride forward to its $260,000 objective. ‘The final report of the Special Gifts Committee, which has borne the brunt of the campaign, will be rendered by Chairman Newbold Noyes. Going back over its list of large givers, the com- mittee already has reported & number of substantial increases in gifts. Presi- dent Hoover, who add an appea) for support of the Chest in view of the emergency, backed up his words in its | behalf with & 100 per cent increase in his own generous financial gift. Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon, taking cognizance of the critical situation, also contributed an additional $5,000 to the campaign. Increased gifts, whether in amounts of $500 or more or in amounts of $5 or less, are essential if the campaign goal is to be reached. Some 20,000 additional gifts, it was hoped, would be turned in tonight by all units in the Chest organization. Officials to Discuss Aims. Following the financial reports, Chest sdiscuss the aims and pur- of the campaign. Frederick A. m? , president of the Community Chest, will speak on “Our Community”: John Poole, campaign chairman, will | discuss “What We Have Done” and Director Elwood Street will talk on | “What We Shall Do.” No audited statement has been ren- | dered since Sllurdl"l report meeting when the grand total of the campaign fund stood at $1,492901.93, of which $891,660 has been contributed in clal gifts of $500 or more. Auditors, drawn from local banks, have been working at night after office hours and will have their report ready this evening. There will probably be a slight shrink- | age in the final figures. Director Street delivered a radio ap- peal in behalf of the Chest last night, | pointing out as officials done earlier | in the day that the Chest crisis is s | serious one and the goal cannot be reached at the present rate of progress. ‘Meanwhile, a large number of con- tributions were being received at the various banks of the city and the stands presided over by young women of the Junior League in & number of down- town stores. Chest officials were en- couraged by the signs of interest being taken in the campaign. The report on the 60,000 pledge cards distributed in the Government depart- ments will be rendered tonight, and it | is expected the Group Solicitation Unit | will include a report also on the con- trioutions of policemen and firemen, who have been giving generously to the Chest. It is probable, however, that several | days il elapse before the report on pledges of Federal emploves is com- pleted. Many of the Government clerks | are still resorting to the mails, but the | bulk of the contributions are beln{‘ col- lected in the departments through the offices of chief clerk: Mount Alto Hospital tomorrow given for the patients by the hostess, Hos- pital Recreation Service of the Dfls-l trict of Columbia chapters, American Red Cross.

Beyond that the original of the tune is a mat- ter of some controversy, some students asserting it was originaliy a French air, while others insist it was the composi- tion of an Englishman, Dr. Samuel Arnold. It is sald an effort will be made to have the bill amended so as to credit the music to Smith only “by adaptation and arangement,” in order to avoid future controversy in the event of passage of the measure, Reports Are Favorable. Hearings on the bill were started some weeks ago. The subcommittee appointed to hold hearings decided to make a favorable report to the full committee. Two days later the judiciary committee met in executive session and agreed to report the bill to the House. 1s worded thus: e it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United | States of America in Congress as- sembled, that the poem written by Francls Scott Key entitled ‘The Star tafford Smith, be, and the same is, hereby declared to be the national anthem of the United States of Amer- ica and under its care and protection. ‘This is the latest of several attempts made by Mr. Linthicum and others to secure the passage of such an act nllu:e' 1919.

Even now “The | Star-Spangled Banner” bill is said to | have & rocky road ahead. “‘Possibility of misconstruction” of the phrase ith music by John Stafford Smith” is suggested by Charles Coppes. local writer, who has made a study of Key's song. Lack of Information, “Information regarding the history of this musician is not available at this time,” he states, “but further study in other directions indicates that he would receive due and appropriate recognition if credited with the ‘adaptation’ or the ‘arrangement,’ as is customary in such instances. There seems to be no evi- dence whatsoever to show that Smith was the composer of the music. The controversy will go on, unending, if' Congress were to legislate his name as COL. CORBUSIER RITES | Retired Officer Known as Authority | on Indians to Be Buried in Arlington. Burial services will be conducted in Arlington Cemetery Thursday morning for Col.

The body is to arrive here Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, accompanied by his_son, cis Corbusier. Col. Corbusler, who would have been 86 years old April 10, had extensive service in the Army Medical Corps. He served as surgeon with Tiinois troops during the Civil War, in Indian cam- paigns in the West and in the Philip- pine Islands, where he was at one time chief surgeon of the Department of Mindanso. At the time of his retire- ment, in 1908, he was serving as chief surgeon of the Department of Colum- bia. He returned to active duty during | the World War, doing special court- | martial duty. He had made his home | at Plainfleld, N. J., since his retire- | ment. ] Col.

There appears to exist, despite certain contentions that ‘Anac- reon’ originally was an old French air, indisputable evidence that the tune was the work of Dr. Samuel Arnold, organ- ist at the ChlPel Royal, and that at the same time Ralph Tomlinson, then pres- ident of the Anacreontic Society, wrote tion as to the identity of the first to adapt, in musical form, Key's words to the old air. I n historical fact, we read, that eight days after the bombardment of Fort McHenry, the words of our ‘Star Spangled Banner' were published in the Baltimore American under the caption, ‘Defense of Fort McHenry’; tune, ‘Ane- creon in Heaven.’ There seems to be no mistake as to Key’s musical inspira. tion when the words were penned. Again we read that an actor, Ferdi- nand Durang, shortly after the poem was made public, attended an assembly of volunteer soldiers in an improvised drill hall in Baltimore, and during the evening, ‘mounted an old rush-bot- tomed chair’ and sang it with great effect, to the tune of the old English A Congressman, making a state- ment before the committee, said that as the song spread throughout the country, ‘it was as good as 100,000 bay- onets,’ in riding the land of the enemy. Thus we have the liest evidence of our accepted national anthem having been sung. Similarties Are Noted. “Those who favor and urge the rec- | ognition by Congress of ‘The Star Spangled Banner' freely acknowledge | the similarity of the words and music | of the two songs, but, they offer, ‘we are | told by a great many musicians there are no original melodies’ 1If the latter assertion is not accepted too literally, | there is support for the statement. | “‘As & matter of historical fact, Robert ‘Treat Paine, an American lyricist wrote | a song in June, 1798, (18 years before | ihe fireworks off Fort McHenry) for the Massachusetts Charitable Fire Soclety | of Boston, entitled ‘Adams and Liberty." Paine was experlenced in adaptin poetical outbursts of the time to fa- millar tunes; he therefore selected the alr “To Anacroen in Heaven.' Could it not have been possible that Key, while penning his poem had the strains of ‘Adams and Liberty,’ born in Boston, running through his mind? Just pos- sible; we learn later that he knew of the old English air.’ In 1916 President Wilson approved a recommendation from the Army and Navy that “The Star Spangled Banner” be designated the “Official Hymn of the United States.” All through mili- tary regulations the playing of a na- tional anthem is required. One Repre- sentative is said to have referred to this presidential action, observing, that “The Star Spangled Banner” is aiready in fact the national anthem. | | | | OFFICERS ORDERED HOME. Lieut.

The time to do something for it is now. Don’t wait until it develops into bronchitis. Take two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin as soon as you feel a cold coming on. Or as soon as possible after it starts. Bayer Aspirin will head off or relieve the aching and feverish feeling—will stop the headache.
