Throws It Away
New Britain, Conn.. July 31 (U.m
A 4-year-old boy strolled Into Ja
cob Roth'i itore yesterday, flapped
s $20 bill on the counter and ald,
"Ice cream."
Roth, a trifle startled, pointed to
the bill and asked:
Where did you get this, sonny?'
The boy Ignored the question and
repeated:
"Ice cream."
The conversation waa getting no
where and Roth tried a new tack:
"You'd better take It home and
give it to your mother."
The boy looked at Roth and walk
ed Indignantly out of the store,
muttering darkly about the (allure
of his piece of "green paper" to
produce Ice cream.
Roth saw the boy crumple the
bill, fling It Into the gutter, stamp
on It a couple of times and kick It
In the direction of a storm sewer.
The storekeeper rescued the currency.
The boy, a picture of frustration
and anger, sulked off up the street.
Today, Roth turned the bill over
to the police.

Talks About
Old Favorites
Portland, July 21 UP) Egbert Van
Alstyne of Chicago, half of the Van
Alstyne-WUUama song team they
were turning out aellers when Tan
guay was terrific in "I Don't Care"
and 16 years before Jolson discov
ered "Mammy" aald here last
night a couple of spindly crabapple
trees Inspired that "corny old per
ennial," the "Shade of the Old
Apple Tree."
Van Alstyne and Harry Williams
have written plenty of hits since
the summer of 1903 when they wed
ded nostalgia to a heavy downbeat
and got "The Old Apple Tree," but
"If I write a million songs I will al
ways be known for that one," Van
Alstyne said. He admitted it was
n't a bad one to be remembered for.
"We were mldwesterners trying to
make our fortunes in New York and
not progressing much. One day we
strolled through Central park and
there were the crabapple trees. Our
homesickness was fierce. We talked
about the trees and our boyhoods
and then we went into our song
and two days later there waa the
"Old Apple Tree'," the noted mem
ber of tin pan alley recalled.
The song is still selling but Is not
the .team's best seller. "Memories"
rang' up a cool 3,000,000 sales and
Is atlll doing business. They wrote
the first of the western songs, in
cluding "Cheyenne" and "Navajo,"
which still sell.
"I have over 500 published songs,
having been writing them since 1900
and more than 30,000,000 copies
have been sold," the composer, now
en route to Hollywood, said.
