speeches in THE Tempest" which,
except for 1.-The Comedy of Errors"
is the bard's shortest play. Between
Prospero and Ariel there was some
such relationship as exists betwiXt
WRC and me:
Be subject
To no sight but thine and mine;
invisible
To every eyeball else.
Ariel wanted vacation after hav-
ing emulated Gen. Billy Mitchell and
destroyed the King of Naples feet
by various invisible devices, but
Prospero wasn't through with his airy
spirit. About July l I'm going to
take a vacation-not "a full year,
which Ariel asked---but only for a
couple of months. When l go, hope
| shall be able to quote Ariel, and
say:
Remember have done thee
worthy service;
Told thee no lies, made thee no
mistakings, served
Without or grudge or Srumbiings.
If there's a banquet In the world
that the radio audience would like to
have broadcast, it's the 10th ami
in Washington tonight. But since that
organization has existed, the rule has
been reporters are never present.
That applies, of course, to the micro
phone, the greatest and most faithful
reporter ever invented. By ordaining
the absence of reporters" at feast
in which the most eminent reporters
in the land are themselves the hosts,
the Gridiron Club means that what

the newspapers the jests and jokes
which enliven the dinner, but speeches
which the President and other eminent
men customarily deliver will remain
the hermetical secret of the Gridiron-
ers and their guests. j. Fred E.ssary,
Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, will preside in his maiden
appearance as president of the club.
Essary made his debut on the air
the other night. / did not hear him,
but if he broadcasts like he writes.

Did anybody catch that delicious
"boner" which the announcer at Old
North Church in Boston pulled on
Paul Revere night last Saturday? l
was not listening in myself, but !
am informed by my friend, Bill
Losh, chief of the United Press Serv-
ice in Washington, that the announcer
referred to the visit of Gen. La
Toilette" to Old North in 1904! Once
when Gen. Pershing was speaking In
the Southwest, small-town mayor
told him that Texans thought the
finest thing BLACK Jack" did in
France was that speech he made at
famous tomb in Paris: La Toilette,
we are here!"
Signing himself your friendly as

Department Of Agriculture writes:
In The Sunday Star of April 10
you said that IL you were not mis-
taken Notre Dame would be
pioneer when it took the air, as
YOU could recall no university that
has systematically used radio for
educational purposes. Kansas
State Agricultural College held its
first ethereal commencement on
April II. Enrollments in the vari-
Gus courses are almost 10000.
This educational work was ini-
tiated and developed by the pres
ent Secretary of Agriculture, Will
liam NJ. Jardine. TWO Otner uni
versities foster radio educational
courses-Iowa State College and
the State School at Pullman,
Wash But Kansas Agricultural is
the pioneer college of the air.
William Allen White immorta1ized
himself years ago by asking Whats
the matter with Kansas" Aerially
speaking, there seems to be nothing
wrong with Kansas at all.
