PERS|ANS TAR
IN A|R BILL

The tumult and the roaring on
the wave lengths last night re-
minded one of midsummer and
tuning was made difficult in all
directions. Reception was clear
when programs could be tuned
and the same spOtty condition
prevailed that was noted some
time ago with respect to differ
ences between the clarity of
neighbOring stations. III Chicago,
for instance. WIS and WJAZ
could be tuned with good volume
and little noise whereas K1W
and WHIT were almost BANKED
by static. All sections were hit
by the static wave that swept
over the country.
The fact that Louis Katzman and
his Anglo Persians hit the high spot
on the loud speaker program, os
WEAF and WRC delivered it, has
been noted in this particular sec
ton so many times during the last
few months that one almost hest
tates TO write it again-and yet last
evenings listeners heard the domeS-
tic carpet subsidy go about as high
musically as they have ever gone
with their all Russian program.
There is a human quality about
Russian music and a way of play
ing any music that distinguishes
Louis katzman's band which makes
the combination of the two have
about the greatest potential for
nelodious entertainment the wave
lengths normally freight. Opening
with the exquisite In the Village"
of the Ivanow Caucasian" suite.
the Persians presented a series of
numbers entirely out of the ordi
nary. The lvanow piece, played
time and again by all sorts of or
chestras. was given so much new
value in the hands Of Kaufman 5
oboeist and viola player that It
came to listeners almost as new
piece. The entire program was
played in just the same intelligent
and satisfactory way.
MADGE TUCKER
AS GRANDMOTHER
Madge Tucker Of WRC player
fame and glory. came to her old
friends in the role of Grandma
Jolly" in the new ice cream en-
deavors OF WIZ and made that
rather tenuous handling of a very
good idea more than acceptable
to WRC listeners. The players and
who were associated with
Miss Tucker seemed to be expert
menting in the program they pre-
scented last evening.
There is no necessity for hesita-
tion-the idea of an old fashioned
party is very much worth While
and by using tunes Of less obscure
origin and all the participants put
ting the same sort OF pep and go
into their work that Miss Tucker
did-it should provide material for
a dozen or more very entertaining
USES SONGS AS
UMENTAL SOLOS
The Goldman Orchestra, which
opened the program for WRC
broadcast last evening, again scored
with a series of familiar pieces
given instrumental instead OF vocal
expression. 1t has long been a pet
theory of ours that the great songs
offered excellent opportunity for
instrumental soloists and Meyer
Goldman proved it last evening.
1t is too bad that hotel orches-
tras do not have the opportunity
to rehearse some of the very good
things they play SO that they may
get more from the music. Lack
of rehearsal also seemed to handi-
cap the Mozart String Quintet II
its program of the evening.

Arsenic Ralon, with his violin, was
easily the star Of the Mozart hour.
The WIS trio perhaps gave ire
best program deliveries in the out

Objections to Trivial Economies

them over again whenever they We're

commented on this odd way of hers

me to thinking. She wasn't q stingy

A Difficulty.
At one time in her life she had lived
in a section Of country but very
sparsely settled. Going to the shops
meant a long trip and tiresome one.
1t was before the days of rapid transit
by automobile. One time she found
herself without a match in the house.
Imagine yourself in such a plight with
no corner store to run to and get a
fresh supply. or no telephone to use
and request matches sent Immediately!
Her plight was sorry one. 1t meant
that before the accustomed shopping
time her husband had to ride to the
store and get matches. 1t was mos
Thereafter she put aside
half burnt matches and used them a
second time. After all, she was not
"close." but resourceful and thought
full. The habit once formed was kept
up even when she moved to a city to
live.

Another instance comes to mind of
petty economies. The housewife never
bought any tooth paste. She found
her husband would attend to 1t, and
so she left that purchase out of her
One time he remon-
strated with her about neglect when
there was no tooth paste. Then she
changed her tactics.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
adverse until noon. They then change
and become exceedingly favorable.
During the morning and in the ab-
sence of sluggish vibrations much
thought and careful preparation should
be given to any plan involving initia-
tive or originality that you desire to
put into execution. If this be done
and the groundwork be properly pre-
pared, no better opportunity for
launching can be found than that fur
nished during the afternoon. All the
signs of success are present. There
will be sensed courage. hope and per-
severance-all very necessary factors

large or small or related to the home
or the Office.
Children born tomorrow promise to
pass through infancy without expert
encing any serious physical set

that they will never be sick, but the
signs denote that their ailments will
be Of a slight nature and never seri.

and always loyal TO those who are
near and dear to them. They will not
be very ambitious or anxious to rise.
They will, however, be conscientious
and painstaking.
If tomorrow is your birthday ami

voting your time and energy to the
solution of worthwhile problems, oc-
cupy yourself with insignificant trifles
that amount to nothing. You are
giant in the face of great difficulties.
You are a weakling when little wor-
ries arise, and allow them to distress
you to an extent not commensurate
with the issue involved.
You are always impugning other

policy of giving your friends and as
