ing Of bio-chemistry from WRHF

sauntering along the wave lengths
from WEAF at 3 o'clock-tuners

hours of broadcasts to hear today
AM tonight. The busy young
men who attend to things at. WRC
are to be about the busiest in their
history, for the program calls for
them to begin projecting things
into the atmosphere at 10 o'clock
this morning and will require them
to keep the air filled almost con-
tinuously for IS hours.
The talk by former Prime Min

the most important event of the
evening in view Of the fact that
it will be the first appearance Of
the eminent British labor leader as
radio speaker. Hiss Illness made
it impossible for him to make his
debut Sunday, as had been planned.
The occasion of his address, the
annual dinner Of the Foreign Policy
Association, Is expected to give him
a very important opportunity to
speak of relations between the
United States and Great Britain in
an intimate way and he is expected
to take advantage of this oppor.
tunity to the best of his ability.
The broadcast of his address will
come from WIZ. KDKA, KYW and
probably from WBZ and the time
set for it is o'clock.

that might be gathered into loud
speakers no particular item Of
which Is probably more important
than the recital of Harry T. Bur.

and baritone at WRNY at 7o'clock.
Burleigh has probably done more
to place traditional negro music
on the high plane It now occupies
than any single composed Of his
tory. He has gathered together a
large number OF the hitherto nm
written melodies and woven them
Into music of the highest artistic
quality. He Is also the composer
OF much modern church music. In
