THE way to make children like
L oatmeal is to give them the
kind they like.
Thus millions of mothers insist
on the Quaker brand. Children who
ordinarily don't like oats, take
readily to this rich and toasty kind.
Quaker flavor is due to exclu-
sive milling processes which took
some so years to perfect. Processes,
too, which retain much Of the
"bulk" of oats, which makes laxa-
tives less often needed.
Thus protein, carbohydrates,
vitamines and "bulk" are combined
in making Quaker Oats an excel
lent food balance.
Quick Quaker cooks in to 5
minutes. Thus makes the richest
breakfast the quickest.
. The price is the same as for
ordinary oats. When a substitute
is accepted, you alone are the
loser.

1t pounded in with great deal of
pep. A two-piano recital was being
given, the program being given over
to familiar hymns. It is sur
prising how much real music can be
brought to the fore in the playing Of
one of those selections, since most
musicians treat them with kid gloves
and, as a result, get only steady,
funadorned tempo with two finger
melody. We enjoyed the concert last
evening.
The Little Symphony orchestra at
KDKA, Pittsburgh, was louder than
necessary. but that couldn't be
helped, since the transmission was
responsible for that. "Swanee
River" medley of southern airs
which really adorned itself in the
garb OF characteristic number. was
we'll done. the many we'll known Sc
lections dedicated to Dixie" having
been well arranged into musical
treat. This was followed by de-
scriptive selection. I'm Chinese

the march Of the priests. the service
and other features.
The Maxwell hour. at WIZ was
dedicated to the Old South, and at
that station we again heard the IA
miliar melodies from below the Ma
son and Dixon line. "Old Black Joe"
was we'll done by the ensemble, the
bell like tones of the vibrophone.

may be, setting the number off well.
ITO himself, "Vibrophone-v ibro-

name before? HumphD Then came
a selection of southern airs, fresh

These were well done, too. A xylo-
phone solo, Southern Storms" was
| played, following which the en-

Poor old WBZ took an awful beat

, York, the latter pushing the Spring
field station completely off the dials

a particularly gratifying one, since
WMCA was on the air with a duet,

played on the piano by George Sack

an Artists Reunion Night was be-
ing presented. The station came

present in the studio seemed to be
having a good time. A talking song,
LET 1t Alone" was presented by
Frank johnson of the Fireside Boys.
When we went back to KDKA,
Pittsburgh, after listening to WIZ,
WMCA and WAHG, the Maxwell en-
semble was playing "Old Kentucky

better at KDKA than it was at WIZ.

even at that it was much better than
most Of those we have been enjoying

little fading here and there and.

the low waves and lots of heart
rending bowls and sepulchral means
were encountered before we reached
WHO'D, Miami Beach. where a
symphony orchestra played gems
from the opera. aida" WHO'D was
not bothered by interference from
other stations, VIDAL being silent.
There was marked clarity.
| WTAM, Cleveland, entered the
sporting world last evening with the
broadcasting OF play play de-
scription Of a basketball game be-
tween Cleveland and Baltimore. II
play by-play description OF basket
ball can be said to be possible. In,
that is necessarily fast the announc-
err seemed to be having hard time
keeping awake unless he was kept
| in a perpetual state Of wonderment
at what was going on. The descrip-
ton was good, but it was nothing to
cause any excitement, like Frank
Ryan's of hockey and McNamee's OF
football. The announcer was very
calm throughout the proceedings as
if he were broadcasting the activi-
ties in an aquarium or something
like that. The game ended. 40 to 20,
CIeveland's favor. 1t might be said
that the crowd did enough yelling to
make up for everything else. and the
noise was all too plainly audible.
The station came through loud.
Now that song writer's have ex-
hausted material relative to blue
eyes, they've started all over again
on different color. We heard Mel
Vile Ray sing 1.-TWO Eyes of Grey"
from WLW, Cincinnati, and we
couldn't help but think of that old
favorite of our, Two Eyes of Blue"
We aren't tickle and we are still
true to our first love, the song, we
mean.
WGY, Schenectady, offered the
None Such orchestra, which should
get new title if 1t wants to succeed.
We were prejudiced from the first,
because of that name. We dislike
the names Peerless, None Such, Pre-
mier. Jazz Syncopators, Melody
Boys and those others. Not that the
None Such was a dance orchestra. 1t
wasn't, and that makes it worse. The
group was really worth while and
we listened to The Scarf Dance"
and selections from robin Hood"
The station faded not at all.
We quit after listening to a Sc
lection, "Grandfather's Clock" from
WGN, Chicago, and we felt that we
had earned a rest after our unusual
activity of the night before. WGN,
by the way. came in we'll.
That's all for today, thanks!

WHY MEN FAIL
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

6OOo hHahy ASacOhE
L why men fail-young men as well
as oid-laziness, lack of ability, lack
OF faith In themselves. When a man
admits to himself or to any one else
that he cannot do a thing he has usu-
ally failed already.
Gilbert had to pass an examination.
He had been held back for two years
or more in his course in college sim
ply on account of this subject which
he had not mastered. He knew that
it had to be done, and yet he could
not quite drive himself to it.
Il can't do it," he said. 'Tm quite
sure L can't"
Finally he was barred from further
procedure because of his failure to
get he work in the particular course.
why don't you try it?" l asked.
Frazer got a textbook, settled down
to work and passed the stuff in two
weeks"
Il don't believe I could was his
only comment. Finally in desperation
as the only way out he applied him
self to the hated task and finished it
successfully in an amazingly short
time.
1T wasn't so very difficult after ALL
he confessed rather shamefacedly.
And so it is with many things from
which we shrink. When we really
come up against the seeming activi-
ties of life the path is not so steep
as In the distance it seemed.
When Admiral Dupont was making
nyQuGaC tn Uarr.oo,1 hfc hi1o-D-bo-
says, for his failure 10 take the city of
Charleston, excuses which were nu-
merous as are those of most people
who fail. the old fighter said:
You forgot one thing. You didn't
think you could do it." Believing In
ones own ability to dc a thing helps
n good deal. and is In many cases the
difference between failure and sue
cess. Sometimes men are too self
confident and blow their own horns a
little too loudly to please the ears Of
listeners.
The story is told of the electrician
Rollins that once he was on the wit
ness stand and was being questioned
by a distinguished attorney as to the
reasons which had induced him to
make a charge of $4,000 for services
to a certain company engaged In liti-
CATION.
ION what ground do you base this
exorbitant charger" the attorney
asked.
"On the TACT hat I am the greatest
electrician In the world" Mr.. Rollins
replied.
A friend who was present at the
trial said to Rollins later:
"How could you have the temerfty
on the witness stand to claim
you were the greatest electrician
In the world? 1t sounded unbeliev-
ably conceited in you.'
81 know It," Rollins replied, land
I did feel rather embarrassed, but you
see I was on my oath, and I had to
tell the truth"
Webster was trying to sell books
last summer. He didn't believe in
himself. and he didn't believe in the
book. He went at his job without
without enthusiasm, with
out faith In what he was doing. No
