wick recorded record Of "Marche
Slave" as played in two parts by
the New York Philharmonic Orches-
ira with William Mengelberg con-
Quoting.
There are many reasons for be-
slowing this honor upon this Bruins
wick record. In the first place is
"a big music played in a big way by
a splendid organization.
But the victory 1 believe goes to
the method Of recording the tone
color. In this record an actual
orchestra seems to be recorded, not
the mere, but the very spirit Of
the organization.
This record actually brings the

All the mechanical noises often heard
on records have been elimated. For
once in the history Of recorded music
the drum las been faithfully re-
corded.
Volume is reached with such ease
that one has the impression that
Mengelberg is actually present while
the record is being played.
Here is musical artistry recorded
in the best possible way. This

TIDDU KRISHNAMURTI! A name
= to conjure with. Its unpronounci-
bleness and strangeness will appeal
to the ignorant. His hackers and ex-
ploiters are shrewd enough to know
that the easiest way to impose some
new religious fanaticism on the minds
of the ignorant is to go to the other
side of the world and get some
stranger of a strange name and fetch
him around to be "the Messiah" "the
Amounted" "the Christ"-all or which
terms mean the same thing.
Well bet Mrs. Besant, or anybody
else, quarter Of a dollar that the
theosophists never would have nerve
enough, in an English-speaking coun-
try, to make god or a demi-god out
of plain Henry Smith" or John
Jones'" But "Jiddu Krishnamurti"
has the necessary number of strange
sounds in it. Do you remember the
happy old lady who, returning from
the Sunday morning service, said: II
certainly did enjoy the preaching this
morningi just love to hear the
preacher repeat that wonderful word
-Mesopotamia!'
Messiahs are no new things in hui
man history. Many new religions
have had them. or held out hopes to
have them. That Is necessary to a
new religion. Now our theosophists
are exploiting this young Oriental.
That is another thing about Messiahs:
they have to be young, around 80
years-old enough to be comparatively
safe and yet young enough to be ap-
pealing And so Jiddu Krish 1--WE will
call him that to save time, or maybe
Just Krish win do) Is adopted by our
theosophists. Theosophy is religious
cult whose devotees pretend to be
more directly connected with some
god than do the followers of most
other religions. The word means "di-
vine wisdom" or wisdom Of god"

do that. They pretend to control pri-
yate wires to heaven, but they live
in the sweat of other mems brows.
A few centuries ago this Krish, with
his claim to some sort OF inside deal
ing with the Almighty could have
been put over big on this little world.
But today, il we must worship any

Edison or Burbank or Carver. One
Burbank in million years is worth

souls of mankind, than is Messiah"

Theosophy may serve the more
brainless section OF the rich by re
loving them of the ennni Of their
dleness and furnishing them with a
uore aristocratic religion than that Of

Staff School, Fort Leavenworth, kans.
not later than July Is. Upon reach
ing Fort Leavenworth he will be as
signed to duty as chief of the CORE

When it became known several
weeks ago that Col. Scott had been
definitely assigned elsewhere to duty,
considerable speculation has been in
dulged in by the local reserve officers
as to who would be designated to sue

rank of lieutenant colonel has up to
the present time been definitely as
signed to the local headquarters. and
the indications are that there will not
be for some time. AS announced in
these columns several weeks ago,
Maj Rowan p. Lemly, Infantry, who
has been on duty in the general staff.

HOOVER SEES SOME HARM
IN RADIO FREE SPEECH
Literal and Indiscriminate Abuse
Would Be Tyranny, He Says,
Urging Right to Choose.

The pending radio bill brings new
angle of the free speech question be.
fore the public, Secretary Hoover
stated recently when asked to COM
ment upon the need for definite radio
legislation. An advocate of free
speech, especially in the ether, the
Secretary. however, pointed out that
taken literally. unlimited and indis-
criminate discussion via radio might
become tyranny. The peculiar part
OF radio, he claims, is the fact that It
actually enters our homes. and
although undesirable matter may be
eliminated by tuning it out, something
good may be lost.
Unlimited free speech from a broad
casting station was likened to requir-
ing all editors to publish everything
offered. regardless of their opinions
as to its news value. If the Senate
radio bill in its present form Is en-
acted into law, 1t would tend to drive
the discussion of public questions and
religion off the air and confine broad
casting to entertainment solely, re-
sulting in the loss of radios educa-
tional features, he believes. Some
stations were held as undoubtedly
partisan, but with the cosmopolitan
representation Of all faiths, creeds and
political parties on the air, practically
as they are represented by the gen.
eral press of the country, he does not
believe control Of the air could be ef-
fected by any class, faction or party.
Stations. like newspapers, should be
permitted to maintain their editorial
privileges, he claims.
Mr.. Hoover believes, however, that
broadcast stations should be liable to
slanderous matter broadcast, as well
as those who utter it. similar to the
method followed in publications.
