Composer Says East

Berlin-(P)-Musical experiences In,
the United States and in the Near
East have convinced Haig Gudenian,
Armenian composer now touring Ger
many, that Kipling was mistaken
when he said that the East and West
can never meet.
Il have taken our Armenian airs
into towns and even villages of the
United States" Gudenian said "and
the people liked and understood them.
l have also taken American folk
songs back to my native Armenia and
played them to all sorts of audiences.
My countrynen showed the same ap-
probation and understanding of
American airs that Americans showed
Of Armenian. So fundamentally we
are quite the same"

The radio map of Europe has been
changed profoundly by the Inaugural
ton of a 5000-watt radio broadcasting
station at Prague, in the Republic of
Czecho-Slovakia. The installation of
this station, one of the six largest in
service in Europe, together with prof.
ects such as the irrigation of barren
regions in northeastern Bohemia and
the connection of the Czecho and Slo-
vakian capitals by means of long
distance telephone cable, furnish strik-
ing evidence of the progressiveness of
that republic.
The new station, to which interna-
tional call OKP has been assigned, is
the first of its type to be installed out
side of the United States. 1t was fur
nished by an associated company OF
the International Standard Electric
Corporation, and is of Western Elec-
trio design Views of the broadcaster
and the antenna system are shown in
the photographs.
A Czecho- Slovakian newspaper de-
scribes the initial broadcasting at full
power as follows:
AT last eight o'clock. Three great
strokes upon a gong and then again
silence, in which slowly died the tone
of the metal vibration. The excite
ment was at its height. This vibra-
ton of the metal which you had never
heard previously seemed to be a door
way to the paradise of radio; then the
voice of the announcer was heard.
Immediately all eondensers were
turned. You could not help believing
absolutely that the announcer was
starNling close beside you; you could
hear his respiration and imagined-is
it true one only irnagined?- you could
also hear the beating of the lnnouncer's
heart. Even he was excited. And
then came what we hac inpatiently
expected and dreamed about so often.

nouncement by the American Gas
Association.
Cleveland is one of the cities in
which these model homes are to be
constructed.
More than twenty-five organiza-
tions and manufacturers will cooper
ate in the building and equipping of
the houses and at least 100000 will
be spent in newspaper and magazine
advertising to inform the public of
the advantages of gas equipment.
The builders of the homes in each
city are under agreement to erect not
less than nine similar homes, which
will mean total of $50 model houses
throughout the country.
In addition to gas stoves, water
heaters, radiant fires, and incinera-
tors, the homes will be equipped with
gas-fired furnaces.

the past fortnight have met with a
terrific setback This does not
come from any of the willing sup
pOrters Of-Mr. Cooper in his race
for the Republican nomination for
Governor, nor from political or
ganization people.
The resentment toward this sort
OF tactics comes from the people
themselves, that great mass of ap-
proximately three million persons
who actively participate in or
patronize the more than one hun
dred county, Independent and state
fairs of Ohio.
1t has been told in many sections
of Ohio that Cooper, the business
man, home builder and president Of
the Ohio Federated Council of
Churches, is not known in the state
that to the great mass of people
he is an entirely unknown quantity.
People who take an interest in
and patrOniZe the annual fairs and
agricultural shows take this as a
direct reflection upon their intel
ligence and memory, and they are
not slow in registering their dis
approval. This disapproval finds
its avenue of expression in a pro-
nOunced rallying to the support of
Mr.. Cooper, by individuals and
groups.
They have not forgotten that Mr.
Cooper as president of the Ohio
Fair Managers Association for the
past ten years, led the movement to
obtain the beneficial and active par
ticipation of young people in the
various county fairs. Under his
sponsoring influence this move
ment has brought into being a def
mite group of more than 25,0OO
boys and girls, who annually have a
large part in the agricultural
shows.

in various clubs to raise better

These companies were safe in pur-
