We listened, the other evening, tt
what we regard as perfect radio re
ception. On our own set, too-a
statement which every "fan" will ap.
preciate.
The hour and half of music was
furnished by two commercial firms
the first taking an hour and the Other
the remaining time.
It was significant that neither or.
ganization hired a brass band tt
broadcast. The fine band has its
place, but ones living. room is moi
the place-hardly.
When one is spending hard dollars
for the evanescent but no less tangi'
BILE thing known as good WILL" he
wants his music to please everybody
So what did the two firms do? Dlc
they engage the facilities of three sta
tions (WEAF, WIZ and WRC) to pu'
on some eminent brass band, because
it sounded good in the public square
or out over the water?
They did not. They secured the
services of a group of clever singers
and instrumentalists, in the first in
stance, and of a most capable smal
organization composed principally Of
string and wind instruments, in the
second.
1t may be noted, in passing, that ne
business firm has hired, to our knowl'
edge. a brass band for regular pub
licity work over radio. We believe
there is sound artistic as well as com
mercial sense in this boycott OF the
band
Business men know that radio
broadcasting goes into the home, ane
they also realize that the sort or mu
sic one has in his home, normally, Is
voice, piano, small ensembles, violin
flute, etc.
who ever heard of brass band in
the living room?

Our reception of the small string
and woodwind ensemble especially
pleased US, and served to make plain
g. few ideas that have been kicking
around in our head for expression fol-
long time. =.
The ensemble came over In such
beautiful fashion that there was nc
suggestion Of any agency whatever
between the distant players and our
selves. The music simply permeateo
the atmosphere. There was music
in the air." in the best and true sense
What a. miracle it was! Distant
broadcasting apparatus, players, hun
dreds of miles of wire, great tubes
radio receiving set, little tubes, bat
teries. loud speaker, ourself-all, al
was forgot, and there was nothing
for the time being, but music every
where.
It was just the sort of music that
we, personally, prefer in the home
and we believe that it was the sort
that most folk like to hear best. Both
in quantity and quality it waS superb
This was music far from the crash
Of swinging march or surging fox
trot. 1t was tuneful, well orchestrated
music, written by the masters, who
loved melody with ali their souls, yet
know theory well enough to In
corporate something else.
This something else is the divine
dream quality, without which music
is something less than music. al
though it may be a great deal more
than noise.
The dream quality in music Is what
makes one lose all sense of place, OF

Success Of the Coolidge program
of thrift Is exemplified in the cur
| rent report Of Gen. Lord, director of
. the budget. Government depart
ments were advised some time ago
| by Gen. Lord that they could save
money by discounting their bills and
! paying cash, as any thrifty and
| prosperous private merchant does.
| This practice is now in effect and
Gen. Lord reports that as a result
of this economy the total savings
| to date include S12.75 saved by the
executive department, IS cents saved
by the National Park Commission,
48 cents saved by the United States
! Bureau of Efficiency. and 18 cents
saved by the Federal Power Com
mission. However. this hardly puts
the facts in their true light, for 1t
appears that the grand total Of the
saving effected by all departments
by the 'discounting practice since the
system was put into vogue amounts
to S2,381,505 These are Gen. Lord 8

by Canadian authorities, according
to information received by the Navy

Thermit, which is not an explosive

The title "sheik" applied to the late
Rudolph Valentino was evidently not
of his own seeking; His grace as an

were eagerly seized upon by publicity

his life in a. sum exceeding that of
the private fortune he has left.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIEANDER JOHNSON.

County Fair.
The sights they see in gay Paree
Are wonderful, indeed.
With gasoline we reach each scene
In unremitting speed.
We search the skies for some new
prize
'Mongst suns away out there
I hail the worth Of Mother Earth;
I'm goin' to the Fair.
The laws that rule the molecule
Or guide the universe
I let 'em ride. as they abide
For better or for worse.
The golden grain, the fancy strain
OF stock shall claim my care
As I forget both doubt and debt
I'm goin' to the Fair!

GranC was FreSldent. The HayeS-T1l-
den contest followed and was decided
in favor Of the Republican. but only
after bitter fight.
The Republicans have had control
of both the Senate and House since
the election Of 1918, when the country
turned down the Democratic admins
tration even during the prosecution
of war. In 1922. to be sure. the
political pendulum swung away from
the Republicans and the Democrats
gained many seats in both houses.
But they did not win actual control
or a majority in either the Senate or
the House.
1t has frequently been pointed out
that the Democrats have the benefit
of all the breaks in the contest for the
Senate this year; that while q Re
publican Senators must seek re-elec-
ton, only Z Democrats are up, and
all of them from States Of the solid
South. In 1928, however. the contest
for the Senate will be a different mat
ter. If the Republicans are successful
this year in retaining majority Of the
Senate, even though the margin be
small, they will have a good chance
of gaining back q number of seats
now held by Democrats two years
hence. In 1928, 20 of the 80 Senators
who come up for reelection will be
Democrats and only IL Republicans.
Some of these Democrats will have a
desperate struggle to come back, in
all probability. Among them are
Bayard of Delaware, Copeland Of New
York. Dill of Washington, Ferris of
Michigan, Gerry of Rhode Island
Kendrick of Wyoming. Nicely of West
Virginia, Pittman Of Nevada and
Wheeler of Montana. Senator Ship
stead of Minnesota, the sole member
of the Farmer-Labor party in the Sen
ate, will be up for reelection, too. All
of these Senators were last elected in
1922, when the political pendulum
swung away from the Republicans
midway in the Harding administra
ton. But in 1928 1t will be a presi
