Vicks is also used everywhere
as an application for burns, cuts
and bruises, for sores, sprains and

ROmping Around
the
Radio Dial

A short but delightful program
was WCAP'S offering to the air
fans last night.
From 1880, when. the Southern
Railway Orchestra came onto the
air until 10 o'clock when WCAP
signed off with the final number by
the Gypsies. it was a quality pro-
gram with nothing but, stars.
The Southern Orchestra with its
gifted soIoists, gave the program a
good start. They were just enough
different to be a welcome change
and enough the same to be good.
And we like dance music better
if it is mixed up with a few solos,
Mrs. Ruby Davis Haley, the So
prano. and A. o. Stearns, jr., the
baritone, had wealth OF talent to
use with the orchestra as a back
ground. Gilbert kilton, the director.
got the best out of each Of his in
struments. We would like to have
more of that music.
Miss Gertrude Kreiselman lived
up to the reputation she has es.
tablished in local music circles as
most talented young pianist.
She has a. freshness of melody and
a sureness. of touch which, we find
particularly charming. This was
Miss Kreiselman's first solo recital
for several weeks, as she has been
dividing most of her time on the
radio recently with Miss Anne
Sweeney, violinist, with whom she
plays at the Franklin Square Hotel
Coffee Shoppe.
We like to have her all alone
it seems to give her more chance
to express her originality and per-
sonality on the keyboard.
Miss Kreiselman's performance
was followed by another good pro-
gram by Harry Cherkassky, vio-
linist, accompanied by Karl Eoler.
The last two events on last
nights entertainment were already
familiar to local listeners, although
it was the premier studio prasenta-
ton of the Washington Quartet.
Usually when this combination has
been heard over the radio, 1t has
been a part of some other program
designed to fit with the rest
Last night, however, the quartet
was allowed to strut their stuff
to their own satisfaction and they
got some mean harmony"
After hearing the Gypsies once
more. we are still of the opinion
that they arc one of the most popu-
lar organizations on the air. Hav-
ing established the fact OF their
popularity it is a little more diff
cult to find the cause, however.
because although their music is
good it is not as outstanding as
their popularity.
We have decided by process of
elimination that their success is in
the main due to the manner of
presentation. They have instru-
ments which transmit satisfactorily,
select numbers which are teasingly
familiar or unfamiliar and then
supplement them with some of Nc
Namee's best announcing.
The Victor Talking Machine
Company has announced the artists
who will take part in it's next
program on March IS. Among the
stars will be ReinaTd Warrenrath,
baritone; the Shannon Quartet; and

Too Much War Talk

The next war" has been made altogether a common Sub
1ect of discussion. Army men, navy men and airplane men are
talking gIbly about the things we should have when the-as
they say-nevitable conflict with some nation or other comes
into the horizon of international affairs with a menace that we
must meet with force of arms. They talk as if some combat
were Immediately approaching, something that we must be in
first class power. They seem to think that there must be a
fight in the near future. They may be right, but we think that
they are totally wrong.
So far has this talk of the next war" gone, that so able
and high minded a man as Major General John II. Hines, chief
of'staff of the United States army, told a gathering of women
the other day that in his opinion the women of the country
would have a bigger part in the next war. He said that in a
future emergency they would probably be called upon to serve
in more important capacities in order to release men for duties
they were better qualified to perform.
We all know how generally the Germans talked about the
next war just before the great conflict that tore the German
empire from its roots and established a republic. in its place.
Soldiers and writers and editors told their -countrymen just
what should be done when the oncoming conflict burst upon the
world. That very talk melted a spirit hostile to the rest of
the world. 1t helped make a war when there was no excuse for
a war. 1t was like educating children in the art of hatred.
made them believe that conflict for "a place in the SUM- was
the right and proper thing for Germany to undertake. It ere.
ated an atmosphere of belligerency that proved the doom of
the fatherlands militarism. In so much it was good, but in
the way of bringing about the bloodiest conflict of history it
was ineffably bad.
Now here are we human beings, surfeited with war, weary
of bloodshed, wanting only to go on. in our peaceful pursuits
and try TO help bind up the wounds of-the old world. And vet
we. see men in high places already talking of "the next war"
as if that were sure to come within a short time, urging us TO
make ready, squirting us on to see in this or that foreign nation
a menace that should put us into the big armament class at
once. That is bad business, ill advised propaganda, needless
alarming.
There may be a war some time. Any war, to come would
be the next war. And We must not be unprepared. But let us
not anticipate it. Let us not talk it inc a reality. Let us not
attempt to get the nation into a frame of mind which would
welcome it. Instead, let us do everything in, our power to keep
the peace with honor. To do that is the first duty of good cii.
zenship. '

The Romance In 1t

America is preeminently the land Of business romances,
and, make no mistake about it, there is plenty of romance in
business. Fame and fortune may be and are won within the
space Of a few years. They have been won and are being won by
men with no special equipment other than that endowed by mn.
ture; that is, without inherited capital and without special
training or education.
A new industry, the radio, has come into being within the
last few years. Already its expansion has been more amazing
than anything in the business history of America. Not even in
oil, the movies or the automobile has there been anything to
match it. The leading company in the field has Just issued
its annual report. In 1921 its gross sales were less than s1.50O.
900. Three years later, in 1924, they we're 5 ,O0O,000. 1t is
freely predicted they will double again this year. This, of
course, only represents a small portion of the total business.
Scores of companies have come into existence in the past year
or two and the manufacture of parts and accessories is in IL
self giving employment 10 thousands.
AS in all new businesses the changes are very rapid. The
inventive genius Of America makes for startling Improve
ments, and old parts and machines and ideas thus become OBJ
solete ana are scrapped. With the theoretical "saturation
point, years away, it is a safe prediction that the radio will
in q short time become one of our major industries

Spending Economy

There is no question about it, economy is often achieved
through spending, says the Idaho Daily Statesman, of Boise.
Economy does not consist in shutting off expenditure 1t con.
sists in spending for profit only, in getting a dollars value for
a dollars outlay.
Spending in sometimes the ounce of prevention that saves
the pound of cure. Spending is also sometimes the stimulant
that starts the wheels of business and breaks the back of un.
employment. Spending not infrequently prevents disgrace, in.
justice and shame and thereby pays big dividends.
When men talk of economy programs and economy admin.
istrations, they sometimes make the mistake of choosing men
who will merely cut out spending. Such men destroy institu.
tons by letting them fall into disrepair. They make commits
sions and directors powerless by barely keeping them going
and permitting them to do no profitable work. Sometimes, be.
cause a little spending is involved, they leave the door of on.
portunity shut. When the people of Idaho say that they want
less money spent for government and by government, they mean
that they want Topped off those expenditures which are not
bringing enough returns. And they mean that the total cost of
our neutrality-suspicious. personal sacrifice through high
taxes and distress to. industry-offsets the value of it. (,
America needs men who dare to swing the axe wisely.
Idaho, too, needs men who can tell when expenditures are eco.
nomical and when they are strangling to prosperity. Up to a
certain point, spending brings prosperity; beyond that point
it blocks the wheels; the cry of the hour is for men who see
the point.
