Bobby Bouncer rolled and bounded

he came to the wall of the Mysterious

He bounded ngninst the hard stone

"Doctor Fun ! Doctor Fun ! Toil can

Four times Bobby Bouncer rapped

calling out his verse.
At tho fourth call a window opened
in the wall high above Bobby
Bouncer's head, nnd a queer littler
nhiikcrcd old man poked his head out.
On his head wus a night cap.

will be told tomorrow.)
SEE "JAZZ" ON WANE
Band Leaders 8ay It la Tottering on
Its' Last Legs
Philadelphia band leaders have pro-,
nounccd "jazz" music as tottering on
its last legs before sinking Into oblivion
along with tho ether fads in music
which have temporarily touched the
fancy of the public and passed.
Cyrus E. Hummel, band leader, ex
pressed the belief the campaign of the
last year against jazz music is respon
sible for a change In the taste of the
public. ...
"It Is true that people, were Jazz
mad a year ago. But now they will
sit through programs that feature the
compositions of Wagner, Liszt nnd
Chopin, nnd win express dissatisfac
tion nnd leave If jazz music is played.
Joseph Klefor, leader of the Phila
delphia Poller Band, sounded an ap
peal to musicians to refrain from
"jazzing up" popular songs, waltzes
and other danco numbers, out to ad
here to the tempo mentfoned In the
scores.
