spaniards made Guatemala the ad. ministrative center for all of Cen. tral America and part of Mexico.
 After throwing off the Spanish yoke the country was for a time a part of the Empire of Mexico. but In 1928 an Independent nation was formed under the title of the Central American Federation, embracing also the present Honduras, Salva. dor Nicaragua and Costa Riea. One by one the states seeded and form cd Independent republics.
 Another unsuccessful attempt 10 unite several Central American countries was made In 1921. A treaty ratified by Guatemala, Hon duras and Salvador resulted In a federation known as the Republic Of Central America, with Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, the admin istrative seat. The new Republic. however. was short lived, Guatemala today continues in a solo role with the other nations of the world, al though many cooperative agree. ments, especially in relation to in ternational railroads have been made between the members of this effcrvescent Latin-American family.

Until recently visitors to Asia Minor were delighted and mys- tihed with the gyrations Of the famous Turkish whirling deryishes. Originally of religious significance, the art of the dcryishes had de- generated so that not long ago the new Turkish Republic prohibited the dance.

But the piano in Hallctt's band sounded as natural as if solo were being played and it was just as easy to follow the melody as of fered by that instrument. The saxes were especially mellow.

Through tie Static

The Royal Salon orchestra anu the accompanying soloists, from WIZ, WGY. WRC and WCAD, take your pick, furnished an excellent program last evening, which was endowed with the added quality Of failing to become monotonous, The arrival of the royal hour of music each Thursday evening is welcomed in many households, due to the fact that the Salon orchestra and those who take part yocally keep away from the deeper classic groups. The lighter and happier melodies arc played and, although the hour is both proper and dignified the music is tuneful and within the under standing Of all.
 Hits from past and present musi- cal comedies and light operas make lip the programs as a general rule, still speaking Of the royal hour. Each Thursday evening sees the ap- pearance of the group and we must admit that last night was the first we spent the entire hour with them. We enjoyed 1t and will do it next week, if possible. The "hero and heroine" as the vocal soloists are called, are capable singers, the "hero" being possessed of a pleas ing tenor voice, while his feminine partner trills through the soprano range as easily as can be imagined. Last night she sang, That Means Nothing to Me" from Irene Bor- donis Naughty Cinderella" and 1t seemed as if the singer was trying to take 10 herself just little of the accent of the famous French actress. You Remind Me of My Mother" from Little Nellie Kelley" was sung by the tenor, whose voice is well suite for work on the noun tain tops, so 10 speak. "Floradora" also came in for its share of the evenings honors This musical comedy of years ago. which has stood the test of revival, was one of the most popular of Its time and the Salon orchestra played hits from the show, assisted by the tenor and
