Radio Improves
Public'S Taste

Madison, Wis, April 80 CA. P.)--
Radio is playing a leading role in
the musical world, according to
Prof. p. w. Dykema of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin school of music.
|, Prof. Dykema declares there is a
tendency on the part of the general
public to demand better types Of
music and quickened enthusiasm for
musical harmony. He attributes
much of this change to radio.
Radio has made its way into every
little town and hamlet in the coun-
Prof. Dykema said. with increasing
interest in this modern discovery,
the public is coming to appreciate
betteG music because of the varied
programs broadcast by radio sta
lions. Every station has its radio
numbers. Musical programs broad
cast generally are selected with a
view to giving the public several diff
ferent types of musical selections.
This has led the public to appreciate
and want greater variety of music"
Radio also is influencing n change
in so-called jazz music, which Prof.
| Dykema declares shows interesting
! modern influences. Largely through
the influence of radio, jazz music has
become more refined, complex and
| harmonious" he said. "Jazz is chang
| ing with tho change in musical de-
! mands of the public. There is no
need for a substitute for jazz music,
because it is losing the barbarous,
shrill characteristics which it first
possessed"

Complaint against the New Eng

tiles Commission yesterday by the
Eastern Telephone Company, cor
poration having it's principal place
of business at Enfield and eight
residents of the town of Enfield, The
complaint of the petitioners is as fol-
lows:
THAT a physical connection has
been made and now exists between
the lines of the two telephone COM
panies to form continuous line of
communication for the transfer of
messages and conversations and and
that public convenience and neces-
sity has been served and Is now
served thereby.
That the two telephone companies
have failed to have joint rates, tolls
or charges legally established for
service by or over their said lines,
and that joint rates or tolls or
charges ought to be established.
That the two telephone compan-
les cannot agree upon a division be-
tween them of the joint rates, tolls
and charges.
THAT the regulation, measure
ments, practice and acts Of said New
England Telephone & Telegraph
Company are unjust, unreasonable,
insufficient and unjustly discrima-
| tory toward your complainant in its
charges and division of tho joint

zens skilled in the work. Such a
project would require considerable
planning and should be worked but
some months ahead. The project
should be used not only as practical
work on a productive basis but as a
means of teaching the lessons which
ought to be taught to all of the chill
dren Of the state In regard to the
conservation Of this great state re-
sourse.
II am asking you that you arrange
with your teachers to provide some
program, either the planting of trees,
shrubs or flowers, the cleaning up of
school grounds, or some exercises
pertaining to the value Of our forests,
the preservation, protection fro fire
and reforestation.
1T should be understood also that
II our forests are cut away from our
hills. our rivers will cease to give
power to our Industries and not only
our forests will be lost but our great
water resources will be dwarfed.
Resourceful teachers will be able to
occupy the necessary amount of time
with their schools in a profitable way
and each locality may deal with
those problems which are specifically
its own. 1 would suggest that the
children be definitely impressed with
the necessity Of fire protection.
1T Is suggested that when trees
are to be planted that they be plant
ed in honor of the gold star mothers
OF the community and to comment
crate the lives of our young men who
fell in the great war"

Governor Baxter
Completes Gift
OF 1925 Bibles to
Bows of Maine "Y"

Governor Baxter Thursday finished
autographing the 1926 Bibles which
he is giving to the boys who attend
ed the recent Y. M. c. A. Conference
at Augusta. In his speech Governor
Baxter told the boys that any of
them who wished a Bible would be
given one by him and that he would
autograph each copy. In the next
mail requests began to pour in upon
the Governor, and they have been
coming ever since.
Each Bible not only was signed by
the Governor, but he personally
wrote in it the name of the boy to
whom the Bible was 20 be given. In
each package the following letter
was enclosed and this was also sign
7 ed personally by Governor Baxter.
MAY One"

''To My Friends Of the Boys
Conference:
~ was pleased to receive your
letter and hope the enclosed Bible
will come to you promptly and in
good condition. Several hundred
boys took advantage of my offer and
it gives me real pleasure to carry out
my part of the contract.
"Of all the books ever written the
Bible stands as the greatest. 1t oc-
cupies a dominant position in the
lives and thoughts of the peoples of
Christian nations.
II want you to remember that
hereafter whenever I come to your
town or city, or whenever we meet
elsewhere, l hope you will not hest
tate to speak to me and tell me you

Some of the newspapers outside the
State published the account of the
Bible gift and letters have been COM
ing to the GovernoS from other States
asking for Bibles. 1t would of
course be impossible for him to res
pond to all these requests and he has
been obliged to confinor himself to
boys who attended the Conference.
Governor Baxter said:
az am much pleased at the res
ponse to my offer. There seems to
be an increasing interest in Bible
reading not only in Maine but
throughout the country. OF course
should like to present a Bible to
every boy who does not own one.
but that would be beyond the ability
of almost any man. In my remarks
at the Conference 1 said that any boy
who would send in a request within
a week or ten days would receive a
book. have kept this offer open for
five weeks, however. and shall close
the list on the first day of May.
After that no more Bibles will be
given out.

esting gatherings than those of the

ceived as much benefit from them as
I did. they will remember the meet
