The fund, it is said, will be made up of the proceeds of the sale of Columbia phonograph records made in New York recently by Miss Buxton, the selections being "Leave It With Him," "Let's Have a Moment's Silence for the Boys Who Died for You" and "Can't You Hear Me Calling, Caroline?" Miss Buxton sang and assisted in hospitals in France for over eighteen months and is said to have been the first woman to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" on the Rhine. She is a member of the William T. Fitzsimons Post of the American Legion, which has been made trustee of the fund, with Hugh F. Reilly, a local attorney, as chairman of the trustee committee. The records are to be sold for $2, of which $1.50 goes to the fund. Herewith is reproduced a photograph of the Charles de Hart orchestra which won this sca the successful fox-trot "Frankie," published by the Jack Snyder Music Co., New York City. The Charles de Hart orchestra is composed of nine young men who have not as yet gained a national reputation, but with the success the organization has met with during the past season it bids fair to become quite prominent. Paul Althouse, who is considered by some to be the foremost American tenor, is singing with success the Sam Fox Publishing Co.'s song, "I Love You More," the work of Dorothy Lee, composer of "One Fleeting Hour," and other ballads of the better class.
