talking with Mr.. Slemp, who is
secretary to MFR. Coolidge. We re-
marked on how well dressed MANY

coming into politics had, among
other things, lent bright touch to
aconventions. Paris models mingled
with home gowns, but the effect
was all that Paquin or Patou could
hope for. The women all looked
their best.
In the front row on the platform
was Mrs. Leonard Wood of Pitts
burgh, charming in a champagne
gcorgette crepe creation which de-
fies description. Her scarf of the

Los ANGELES, June 1l.-Re-
strictions placed by certain music
publishers upon radio broadcasting
of their numbers is m- American.
Publishers are not protecting the
American composer by such limita-
tions, but instead are positively
harming him, for that publisher is
in error who does not realize that
broadcasting is a great agent which
increases the sale of music rolls and
sheets.
Never did operatic or symphonic
music or any other form played by
groups before audiences create such
an appeal to the great soul Of our
country as the radio ! am iconvinc
ed that the. radio lis. the, most i'm
portant medium in, Americ;i for the
building up of musical tastes, and
the free expression of worthy ma
tive talent must not be hindered-
The radio is truly providential.
Besides its great universal scope
and appeal, broadcasting music is
establishing a new standard CT its
appreciation bv the home.
= Through magic sound waves saye
hear and enjoy beautiful and better
melodies-music which we did not
dream could be so valuable and inn
pressive, but which through the ra
dio. has become vital part Of our
home and community life.

Sports Writers, After Seeing Giants Whip Sox 1 to 0, Are Not Much Impressed With Abilities.

Paris, Nov. 10,--Onc thousand Americans, fifty Japanese and 100 Frenchmen is L'Auto's analysis of the small crowd which attended the game between the New Took Giants and the Chicago White Sox in the Colombes stadium yesterday The Giants, who won to 0. dominated their opponents, the paper continues, not because they were more skillful but rather because they were keener and more anxious to make a good showing.
 The critic adds, at the some time saying exaggerated importance must not be attached to his opinion, that the teams yesterday seemed to have come to Paris for pleasure trip rather than 10 fight for the outcome of their matches
 The writer regrets that somebody was not placed near the umpire to give a brief explanation of the game in French before the begin- ming, a1st is 'frightful to think that the Giants have been brought such q distance and yet the uninitiated left with the impression of having Srasped nothing of the game"
 The other Parisian sporting daily, Echo Dcs Sports, comes to the con clnsion that it is the mathematical precision produced by the remark able virtuosity of professionals that gives the game its monotonous aspect"
