u. OF A. CLEE
CLUB PUT OVER
FINE CONCERT

Really worthwhile things often
steal up on folks who are quite un-
aware of heir approach and then
suddenly are gone with only few
individuals left in their wake who
are quite unaware of their approach
and then suddenly are gone with
only a few individuals left in their
wake who are grasped them and APP.
preciated them.
, Such was the unfortunate case with
the Mems GIee club of the Univer-
sity of Arizona who slipped quietly
into Douglas Friday and staged
most intelligent and inspiring con-
cert at the local high school last
night.
OF course the many things which
have cropped up in Douglas recently
to demand folks attention must be
accorded some responsibility for the
very small audience which, however,
was appropriately enthusiastic and
responsive. But even at that, one
could not but wonder at the where
abouts last evening of the many
music lovers of the city who so well
support offerings of the Music club
at the Parish house and also as to
the habitation for the the evening
OF the 3O0-odd Douglas High School
students. Many of these latter were
probably at the basketball game
which is quite proper in sense of
school loyalty, but there must have
been a good hundred of these youths
/ who should have heard the singers,
| T1s, Txy1oa ny G
and girls in the schools of the coun-
try, dreaming their dreams of coll
lege, would sacrifice much to watch
those whose places they some day
hoped to take. However, the re-
ception which the fine singing re-
ceived was disappointing and the
best one can wish is that the Glee
club will forget it and come down
! this way from Tucson again next
year and sing to a greatly enlarged
audience.
Everything on the program last
night was we'll done and exception
ally well finished. There was vol
ume-lots and lots of it, for just
IA voices, and there were several
classic numbers which few college or
university Glee clubs dare tackle
that last evening were excellently
done. Then there was dramatic art
in all its phases and just about
! every sort of feature selection. The
youths sang well-astoundingl well,
! and to Professor w. A. Vogel OF the
music faculty, who directed and ac-
companied them, the very highest
praise must be given, both for his
leadership and for his beautiful ana
commanding playing.
'The Toreador's Song" from Car
men," the charge Of the Light Brl-
gade" and the Shadow March" We're
outstanding hits.
Joe Calhoun, graduate of the
Douglas high school, was especially
good in his speciality dance numbers
He is the president of the Glee clup
this year, Elwood Perry, former
member of the Douglas High Glee
club, was also in the group of sing
ers last night. fG

Statistics have proven that only
onc-half of one per cent of the
speeches made in Congress are lis
tened to. A great many Congress
men speak IN, but not TO, Con-
gress. But every speech is published
in the record. They send the rec
ords back home to show What
they told EN- up there in Washing
ton" Now the people back home
think Congress heard their Lem"
tell 'em this.
Now, here is my scheme to stop
speech making. A Bill reading as
follows: Congressional Record
must not only contain speech, but
number of members, and names
who listened to speech, and ioAy."
For instance: Congressman Post
Hole arose to a point OF informa-
ton and spoke at length on, Is
Locarno a town, or is it a treaty.
Length of speech, without waiting
for applause, four hours, thirty-six
minutes; attendance, Gout (Rcp.

Now | claim that will stop sonie
speech making The minute it gets
back home that "Lemmie" is talk
ing to himself up there, "Lemmie"
vii stop talking.
You know why they won't listen
to anybody up there3 They have
gone out to smoke, that's why, and
you know why they've gone out TO
smoke? WHY, "Bull" Durham, of
course. IT'S BETTER THAN

RADIO SETS FACING
BARGAIN COUNTER
Market for Second Hand
Equipment Predicted for :
the Coming Winter.

The foundation of an extensive
business in second-h hand radio sets is
expected to be laid this Winter in
many of the larger radio centers of
the country. Such a market, it is
explained, will follow the adoption of
"turn-in" policies similar to those de-
veloped in the automobile industry.
which are being worked out among
many of the radio retailers and some
manufacturers.
Although the second hand market
probably will not flourish to a very
great extent this year, it is believed
likely that in another year or two a
considerable amount of business will
be done in the turned-in receivers.
Fans Demand New Sets.
Surveys made in several sections Of
the country have shown that thou
sands of radio fans whose receivers
are of one or two-year old models, are
anxious to purchase new sets pro-
vided they are allowed discount for
the receivers they now own. The
most difficult phase of permitting such
turn-ins. it is explained, lies in the
determination of the value to be al
lowed on the old sets, purchased in
the ma ajoIity of cases when radio re
ceivers were at their highest prices.
The comparative stabilZation of
prices which has come about in the
past year. however. is expected to
remedy this difficulty in the future,
and through arrangements made be-
tween manufacturers and distributors
old receivers are expected eventually
to carry standard turn-in values on
the purchase Of new sets.
Deals Now OH Small Scale.
So far the activities in the second
hand radio market have been under
taken only by dealers who have had
ready purchasers in sight for sets
that they have accepted as part pay
ment for new receivers. In the event
that such q secondhand market is
built up, it is believed the entire radio
industry will be stimulated and that
hundreds of thousands OF new fans
will be recruited through the sales at
vastly reduced prices of the used
receivers.
