This was accepted as the signature of both the blind man and his wite by Mr. Justice Henn Collins in the Probate Court in London.

A STRANGE FATE IS THAT OF THE YOUNG JAROMIR VEJVODA.

Jaromir, formerly a Czech, and now technic- ally a German subject, is the composer of "Boor. Barrel Polka," to the rousing strains of which British troops are marching to war.

The song was written in 1984 and became the rage of Prague- under the title of "Skoda Lasky," meaning "Pity of Love." It was then a sentimental ballad, mourning “wasted love that I gave you, my eyes to-day keep on crying. ... .

But musle goes round and round, and "Skoda Lasky" captured the ear of an American publisher who had new words written for the melody which, at the same time, was pepped up to quick foxtrot,

Its new chorus became: "Roll out the barrel, we'll have

a barrel of fun;"
