they may feel physically fit several
hours after a grueling match. yet
their nerves are I'm a. relaxed state

she would be more apt to put up a

nervous relaxation which takes place
once the strain is over.

price by the amount Of the tariff
thereon for that portion used in the

The question is believed to be one
on which everyone should be well in

test their knowledge Of the names ri

specially arranged radio band under
the direction VI Michael Ialma from
to . p. n. Friday, December II.

None Of the names Of the selections
played by the band during the entire
program will be announced. Listen
ers will be asked to identify them
and send in reports. The results of
the music memory contests and other
competitive features during the last
few years have caused many to
declare that few selections Of the

as the Northwest. The program Fri

contention. All Of the numbers play
ed, it is said. will be those which are
familiar to all.
