|ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial

Within twelve hours of his arri-
val in town yesterday. Roxy, with
the aid Of his gang. had stopped
the wagging tongues which were
sounding the death knell OF his
popularity and had disproved asser-
tions, frequently made, that his
hold on the radio public is On the
wane.
About a year ago Roxy. and his
gang stopped in Washington for
two days and during that time
jammed Polls Theater twice in the
same day, filled Wardman Park
Hotel to capacity for their evening
dance and then attracted a record
breaking crowd to Convention Hall
for the radio show.
Theater folk. critics and even
radio fans predicted that his name
was a temporary popularity, that
he would never last" They were
amazed at his showing, stunned
that he could fill Polls to capacity
twice in the same afternoon and
then come back with a New Year
Eve" crowd at Wardman Park the
same evening.
Shortly after his return to New
York rumors Of dissension were
heard and Roxy was severely criti.
cised for everything. His critics
PANIED him for his unconvention-
atty before the microphone ami
stories were circulated that he was
'crude, ignorant, and hypocrite. F."
Predictions were freely made that
his popularity would be short lived.
Just a few weeks ago Roxy was
muzzled by his own broadcasting
company and forced, for a week,
TO discard his usual manner. But

JEWS TO CELEBRATE
FESTIVAL OF PURIM

Special services will be held to-
morrow morning at the Eighth
Street Temple to celebrate the Jew
ish festival Of Purim, or the Feast
of Esther.
This is probably the most popular
Of all Jewish holidays, even though
considered a minor festival. The
story Of it's origin Is found in the
Book Of Esther in the Bible. The
romantic character of Esther has
held a strong appeal to the imagi-
nation because the tale holds all the
elements OF drama, and plays itself
out upon the historic stage OF lie
nouement which could not fah 10
reach the heart of Israel in oppres'
sion: the triumph OF the Jew ever
his enemy.
Special services will he held in
the Various synagugues throughout
the city Monday night. with the
story reread. and retold In many
forms.

SeaguA, Injured In Flight, Is Tended By
 Two Small Children

OAKLAND, Nov. 2S (P-Theories of some psychologists that children are "by nature cruel" would be ener- getically refuted today by Spike, a seagull, if Spike could speak.
 Likewise Spike, after thinking it over, has decided that men who de- vote themselves to the profession of healing the hurts and ills of animals are pretty good scouts, too.
 Today the seagull in sweeping over the Washington school grounds, mis- calculated by few inches and smashed into high fence. He drop , ped to the ground and lay helpless his right wing broken. Two children, Orland Soave and Irma Bentley hurried to succor the bird, but he, suspicious, pecked furi ously at them.
 ] Orland bethought himself of his dad Dr. A. c. Soave, veterinarian, and the children carried the gull to his office.
 There the three of them clipped the feathers from the broken wing so that Spike would not hurt himself by trying to fly.
 The doctor promised the children that he will keep the gull until he is recovered fully and then let them know so they can carry Spike down to 1 the shore and give him a good send off for his former home.

REVEAL EVIDENCE
 OF ISLAND TRADE

P. ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 2S (P)-- Tn a collection just brought back to the University of Michigan musuem is believed to be evidence that the Chinese, as we'll as the Hindu and Javanese peoples had trading rela- tions with the Philippine as far back as 15OO years.
 Dr. Carl E. Guthe, assistant direc- tor of the museum, in a three year expedition into the interior of the Philippines and other insular posses sions obtained 97O articles of the past each bearing a wealth of history. Two pieces of china bear the Rank Hsi dynasty mark. The dynasty existed from 1862 to 1722. Dr. Guthe believes he has other china that will date back that felt the heat of the firing ovens to the Ming dynasty and perhaps some during the Sung dynasty from 96O to 1126
 | Another interesting discovery was that of human teeth decorated with gold When Magellan passed the
 Philippines on his trip around the
 world in 1521 his chronicler, Pagaret- ta, told of native chiefs with teeth
 so decorated. Dr. Guthe has found a dozen exhibits of gold filled teeth. Dr. Guthe believed the natives filed 1 their teeth with so rough instrument,
 and when the filing reached the softer
 part of the teeth small holes were
 bored by use of whirling reed and
 sand and gold wire was pounded into
 the holes.
 1 In some cases five or six gold plugs
 appear in a single tooth. One tooth
 bears a gold plate
