NAPOLEON ON THE AIR

| This evening at nine o'clock
| (Water1nan's hour) Points of
| Progress" now so eagerly looked
for by radians, will be equally d.
vided between an absorbingly in
teresting talk on Napoleon and
music by Waterman's orchestra.
Hector Fuller, owner of 1.-The vio-
IonceIlo voice." will tell the story
of the greatest military genius of
modern times-not the old and
hackneyed tale of Austerlitz, Elba
and Waterloo, but a newer recital
| Of Napoleon's influence on the
then young Republic of the
United States. Do you know that
the "Code Napoleon" is still law in
one of our States?
Those were days Of great melo-
dies-the "Marseillaise" and others
that stirred nations and shaped
events, and the orchestra will play
some of them during the enter
tainment.

Some years ago, when I was a
