SAYS RADIO
IS MAKING AMERICA
NEAT LITTLE LAND
Time and Space Being damned
Past to Rush Future
Into Memory.

One hundred million American peopl,
gather around the fireside every nigh,
and listen to concerts from Detroit
or Spokane. o Boston, or New Or.
leans. distributed by radio. One hun.
dred million people rise in the morn
ing and 60 eagerly in to an American
breakfast of bacon and eggs and hot
biscuits. or pancakes, fruit and coffee,
then pile into their f@livvers and sal
out to work, talking until the filling
jars loose from their teeth--all in q
common language about common in
terests!
A neat and nifty little country we
have. and every few months the United
States supreme court cinches it up a
little tighter; draws the bands a little
closer and brings us into a more per-
feet union" The other day the court
took away from our state public utili-
ties that control of intrastate rates
made by and for public utilities doing
an interstate business. That means that
all railroad rates in this tight little o n
tinent are to be made in Washington,
y. c.
We are budding up a little closer,
getting more and more centralized, less
and less sectional. The Dyer anti
lynching bill. which will give the federal
government the right to say a few
words for the good of the cause
wherever a hoydishness and capricious
community feeling gets so rambunctious
that it has to relieve its strained nerves
by grilling a colored brother. The air
plane, which is making the whole land
scape into three or four towns and
their suburbs, is telescoping distances,
and the National Reserve bank is feed
ing III a shrinking and collapsible cur
rency. SO we are gradually-and not
so slowly as you might think-edging
up our chairs closely around our CEN
trail government.
Given a decade more of this snug
Cling up and cuddling down. and state
lines will be preserved only by our his
torical societies to furnish fool ques-
tons with which to trip prospective
civil servants in their examinations.
States will go; O governor will be moth
ing but a plug hat, a pair of lungs,
and an aptitude for the palace life.
while legislatures will be removed as
appendices which produce only grief
and inflammation. Time and space.
which were important in the lives of
our forefathers, are passing. And, alas.
Too soon will our future be damned
into our memory. and our past project

National Credit Officer
Broadcasts Business Talk

Newark, n. j.. May CIV J u ha:
just broadcasted an address entitled
Business on the Upward Trend" BY
J.. Fl. Tegoe, secretary treasurer OF
the national association of credit men
According to this business and credi,
authority, prosperous times are coming
and we can face the future with con
fidence and courage. Mr.. Tregoe. who
is a novice at broadcasting. but who
addressed i~lttrally thousands of audi
ences of bushes men in al parts of the
country during the past twenty years,
said in part:
ION this evening. il were more fit
ting perhaps to speak of the ministry
of business than of the upward trend
of business. We cannot but recognize
the large part played by business in
our national welfare; and it is very
proper that all of us should dignity 1t
to the point of approaching it's i'm
portance and the part it should play In
our social welfare.
Traders From First
1--WE were traders from the very be-
gining. The nation entered upon it's
great enterprise after winning it's in
dependence with character and capa-
city, two of the three great elements
of credit. but without capital. Most ad-
Imirably have we fought our way along
from a point where we had no capital
to a point where our wealth has become
so abundant that W. are counted as
the richest nation of today.
"We have reached this wonderful
position through perseverance. integrity
and intelligence. To use profitably what
we have and to make it worth while
to the world at large is one of our
finest detectives and should thrill
every citizen Of the nation.
"The ministry Of business is in teach
ing the equality of men and the fair
mes which must control their reia-
tons to one another. We must dis
courage classes. We must maintain the
original ideas of democracy with
equality Of opportunities to all. so that
those who fail may have only them
selves to blame. Marvellous it is when
we consider what our country has done
in eleyating democratic ideas and pre-
senting to men and to women equalities
of opportunity, placing in their hands
privileges belonging not to class but to
their own selves as they were designed
by their Creator.
."Waging the intensive war in de-
Tense of human liberties was very cost
ly. We compute the cost at about two
hundred billions. With the signing of
the armistice in November. 1918. the
nations had accumulated debts Of por-
tentous mounts demanding the eco
nomy Of all peoples to replace the de-
wealth and to restore capital
for industries. Instead of observing |
his obligation and economizing to the |
very bone, we went into n period of
extravaganza. The national debts as
they stood at the signing of the arms.
lice have since doubled. Prices scared
as the result of extravagant living.
And as this thoughtlessness violated
fundamental rules of credit, a toll was
for which we have been paying
u present depression. The people

LONDON CRITIC ENVIES
US ELONZALEY QUARTET

England and Europe openly express
envy of the United States because the
Fionzaley quartet is practically mono
polized by this country. On their way
to the continent they recently played
in London, and the Times" the fol-
lowing day. after lamenting the meagre
allowance of concerts the quartet can
give in England. owing to their engage
ments in the United States. said of the
playing Of the Beethoven quartet opus
127:
"A very fine performance. The
elearness and pungency. of the playing
in the third movement. and the extra
ordinary vitality infused into the inter-
probation Of the finale were remarkable.
It was in the treatment Of the slow
movement that the more subtle quail
ties Of their style was best shown. for
the complexity of this movement de-
mands the utmost flexibility and inter-
dependence of the players"
Years ago the American public. az
well as the critics. set lasting approval
on the quartet's playing Of this Beet
hoven opus with the result that it ia
often a requested number in many of
the cities and towns where they play.

and read so much censure of poor old

The things of which jazz music has
been accused include practically every
crime in the category since Nero fiddlcd
over burning Rome. Yet, without very
much knowledge Of music, l insist jazz
has its place and that is the reason
it goes blithely on it's way. nc matter
how many reformers are trying to
capture it.
"In the first place, jazz is not so
modern as some people try to make us
think. Dixie" tickles your feet and

MIR. Hunt has been very much oc.
cupied during the winter and recen,
months with concert and instruction
work both In Kansas City and such
midwcstern cities as Fort Leavenworth
kas., Atchison, Kas., and Lexington.
Mo-, where the critics have been with
out exception enthusiastic in their
praise for this robust baritone,
As a youngster, Mr.. Hunts voice
attracted the attention of Whitney
Mockridge, a well known tenor, who
gave him a number of lessons and en-.
couraged him to 60 to New York to
study under Clement Tededoux. This
was followed by extensive study abroad.
Upon his return to this country Mr..
Hunt was launched into concert work
for several years. being soloist with
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.
He was later with the st. Louis Sym
phony orchestra, with Miss Alice Neil
son, and with the Grin club of Mil
waukee. For the last 10 years he
has conducted q studio in Kansas City.
Writing to Mr.. Hunt under the head
ing Of "A Midwest Favorite-a Popu-
lar Personality" Point of View for
February has the following comment to
make under'a full page picture of the
artist:
"Mr. Hunt. through his ever present
g~eniality, his p%rodigious talent for ac-
complishing things, has left an impress
sion upon the VESTS musical affairs
which cannot be e~radicated. His splen-
did gift of imparting the things he
knows has made many of our best
singers, all of whom are ready to tes-
tifv to the thorough and artistic train
ing received at his hands. His sum-
mer artist or teachers classes are
for successful results.
"Mr. Hunt has a foundation for good
from eight years European
study with the celebrated masters of

Of Florence, Italy, and Monsieur

in bringing u voices somewhat worn.

Dvorak's Intimacy
Has Made His Music
Popular World Over

The charm and fresh originality OF
the music of Antonin Dvorak have
made him popular the world over Is
there any one who can not recognize
"Humoresque?" And what is the secret
of hat feeling of at-homeness" and
personal intimacy which comes at the
mention of it?
Because he was born and lived most
of his early life in n secluded rural
district in Bohemia, whose people have
become world famous since as the
Czecho Slovaks. where the 1aborers
sing as they work and where the
peasants are said to dance at least
forty different folk dances, Dvorak be-
came so stepped in the uneven rhythms
and the quaint melodies and with the
very spirit of their music, that later
study of the masters failed to impress
his style to any great extent.
Although he could sing and could
play the violin. piano and organ when
he was fourteen. he was so cramped
by poverty that he never saw the
scores or heard any of the music Of
the classical composers until after he
was twenty-one. Then he had already
done a considerable amount of writing.
Instead Of learning to compose as most
others have done. by studying the ac-
copied and conventional forms and
outlines as standardized by the masters.
he Numbered along by himself with a
logged determination and a persist
ence which only a peasant could main
tain.
1t was, however. this very isolation
from any music except the dances and
songs of the people which in the end
proved to be Dvorak's good fortune.
for he kept his originality and worked
out his caree through the s%pontaneity
of his W ideas.-From the June De
Signer.

, generally didn't know sufficiently vel
the fundamental rules of credit. They
should be known to everyone, for tc
observe them spells happiness. Wills,
to violate them spells unhappiness and
disaster. This formula can be applied
to the very humblest wage Garner in
the world.
Everyone a Part
I'm this business game everyone has
a part to play. The opportunities and
the burdens rest not on the shoulders
of a few, but are an obligation upon
every citizen whether or not his income
is derived directly from business. We
can face the future with confidence
and courage. We can play our parts
nobly and never for : a moment lose
confidence in the fundamental sound
ness of the nation and it's full abilities
to recover.
Americas business is indeed on the
upward trend. and when prosperity
comes-for 1t is surely coming, how
DOT or how far distant I cannot say
It will be the finest and most per-
manent prosperity that ever fell upon
our land.
"1n closing, may this message of a
far sighted and devoted man ncou
age us:
Be strong. We are not here to play,
to dream, to drift.
We have hard work to do and loads
to lift.
Fear not the struggle. Face it. It's
Gods gift.
Be strong. It matters not how deep
the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, how long
Fight on, faint not, tomorrow brings
the song!"
