PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

In an interview the other day, 8. l..
Rothafel, whom the radio listeners
know as Roxy, suggested five principles
to be kept in mind in the business OF
entertaining the American public.
list them because they have wider
application.
First, nothing is too good or above
the heads of the public.
Failure to grasp the soundness Of this
contention Is as bad for Journalism and
for politics, for instance. as for radio
programs. There is highbrow Jour-
nalism that shoots over the heads OF
ism that shoots under the feet Of its
readers, but this shooting over or under
is largely matter of faulty technique.
AS I have often said, the highbrow
journalist is likely to overestimate his
readers information, and the lowbrow
journalist is likely to underestimate his
readers intelligence. Both need to
know that, given clear and under
standable technique, there is nothing
too good or above the heads OF the
public And half the sins Of shoddi-
ness read into the American voting pub
lie are, am convinced. read into voters
by the restricted vision and moral
timidity of politicians.
Second, happiness begins at home.
1T is useless to attempt to enter
tain the public" says Mr.. Rothafel, "if
your staff is discontented and irritable. "
And it is useless to expect from COL
leagues or clientele any qualities you
are not yourself ready to achieve and
display You cannot pamper yourself
and drive your employees and associates.
You cannot plant suspicion and reap
confidence. To be one thing and to
order another is in the long run futile.
Third, do something different.
Everything conspires to make us fol-
low pattern, despite the fact that dis
tinction and individuality are in the
main rather promptly and profusely re-
warded in America. save when they
wear the air of political. economic or
religious heresy. Within these limits,
pattern breaking is more profitable than
pattern following.
count.
The greatest achievements are some
thing more than a synthetic mass of
scrupulouSly watched details. but the
greatest plans and the. greatest abilities
go on the rocks from inattention to lit
tie things. Not even the genius can
really afford to be inconsiderate in the
minor aspects of his relations with his
associates.
Fifth, don't be afraid of sentiment.
Here, again, this principle goes be-
yond radio programs This is a self
styled sophisticated generation. We like
to appear hard-boiled. cynical, immune
to the elemental emotions that stirred
other generations. I suspect that in
moving away from sentimentalism to
cynicism We forgot to stop at the right
place between the two We may sue
ceed in drying up some very healthy
springs of emotion.

which stands as the maximum speed
made by any type aircraft. Undaunted
by Kinkead's disaster, the British are
going ahead. and in few weeks they
undoubtedly will have the mark.
For the other records Great Britain
is building or has built craft that, 1t Is
believed. are equal to the task. The
coveted records are burning incen.
tive to the engineers to produce Brit
ish product that will surpass any other
aircraft In the world. When that is ac-
complished. 1t stands as challenge tc
the other nations ability to produce an
even better plane, and so on until the
super-refined planes and engines begin
to affect the commercial and military
craft from the standpoint Of efficiency
as the result Of the experiments.
Performance Is the aim Of every de-
signer and builder Of airplanes. because
the airplane that Just flies Is no longer
desired. What greater inducement
could be offered to a nation that aspires
to capture the world aircraft market
than to be known as the creator and
owner of airplanes that can out
perform those Of all other countries in
the world?
Great Britain's program has the
moral support Of her competitors.
Should Il be accomplished soon 1t will
be up to the United States to outdo its
brilliant aeronautical performance of
1927 and keep the laurels on this side
Of the ocean.

Premier Mussolini reveals himself a.
poet in the following apostrophe to
the staff Of life in proclaiming national
bread days" April IL and Is:

GRANGE OF the earth, feast OF lifet
Do not waste bread, richness Of the
fatherland, sweetest gift Of God, most
holy award of human toll
A great deal less has been said about
bread in great many more words. Il
Duce succinctly points out the ro-
nance Of this necessity Of the daily life
in words that are romantic albeit true.
He calls upon his countrymen to love
bread, to respect bread. to honor bread,
and to refrain from wasting 1t.
Bread lovers are to love 1t because 1t
is the heart Of the home, because 1t Is
one Of the fastest things on the menu,
and because 1t Is healthful. They are
to respect bread because it represents
the toll Of mankind. his pride in him
self and in agriculture. They are to
honor 1t because 1t represents the glory
Of the fields, the fragrance Of the earth.
the very feast OF life.
Bread Is not to be wasted, It Is the
richness Of the fatherland. the gift Of
God. and Q real reward Of human toll.
Most people. whether poets or not.
viii find themselves with q greater re-
spect for the daily bread after reading
this tribute Of the great dictator.
One must wonder. though. n II Duce
really wrote 1t himself.

A. The positions Of the stars with

term fixed stars" But this is only
seemingly the proper expression. In
reality all are speeding through space
at very high velocities. but so infinitely
removed are the stars from us that they
appear to be at rest. Although cutie
the reverse. as We now know, from fixed,
the term Is still used. because in the
astronomically brief period from gen.
Grafton to generation the changes are
so slight that the naked eye Is power
less to detect them.

big frame and his big joviality pulled
Willis through many tough party

those assets, which frequently stood the
late Senator In good stead. Wills
