Perhaps you get kick out oil
that paragraph and perhaps you
don't-at first glance. But the
chances are you will when you
think it over. Because that is
exactly what the radio made pos
sible when 1t permitted the voice
of the President of the United
States to reach the Furthermore
corners of the continent with his
semi-annual address to the depart
ment heads and bureau chiefs al
the Budget Bureau meeting broad

of stations. The regular news col

Presidents address-but will likely
overlook the loud speaker Item
which is the main feature of the
address so far as this column OF
uplift is concerned.
The President didn't say a thing
about Lindbergh through his talk
but when John Hays Hammond ad
dressed the college students Of the

he called attention to the achieve

LINDBERGH
MODEL FOR YOUTH
The smiling, outstanding Lindbergl
is the greatest address to college
graduates the world has today, Mr.
Hammond inferred, rather than said
in his interesting address. Incl
dentally, the United States Arm,
and Navy recruiting services have
been sWamped with young men whit
want TO go into the Government ali
service-a fact which Mr.. Ham
mond didn't refer TO either. This
address was the summing up by I

ments that go to make success and

way success wings its flight for al
who would pursue it.

The Bourbon organization playet
its initial concert as a public utility

the soloist. is a master Of the diff
ficult oboe and he put into his
playing all of the plaintive appeal
and human feeling this brilliant
Cadman composition contains. The
entire program of the orchestra
was well planned and except one
or two instances where the placing
OF the instruments before the mi
crophone made the saxophone's
baritoning bit prominent, was
well played.
Outside the early evening gave
little but crashing noise and when
this cleared up later the whole con-
tlnent seemed to be engaged in a
carnival of jazz, every section con-
uibuting dance tunes.
