 In order to get hold of the crowds commercial radio of necessity must appeal to the popular and superfi- cially pleasing type of performance. 50 far as music Is concerned. The radio sponsor is in the same posi- tion as the producer of show de. signed to have wide popular ap- peal-he cannot do so with the pro- duction of grand opera or symphony concerts. He must bow to the aver age in his audience.
 Of course, there are high grade musical offerings over the air in spite of the handicaps mentioned. Analysis. however. shows that nearly all of these come after the commer- cial attractions have pre-empted the best evening hours. If one wishes to remain up late one can hear fine music-even tabloid grand opera sponsored by the radio broadcasters themselves. These gentlemen do not need to worry about direct financial returns from their audiences and can afford to practice uplift. The chain magnates do all they can to raise the level of broadcasting: but of course. they cannot control the desires of the others who buy time. It is not bread and butter proposi- ton with the chain magnates: it is with the commercial time-buyers.
 All of which is not to be construed as severe criticism of the radio art as a whole. If the greatest pleasure to the greatest number is the criterion then it has succeeded nightly. But one cannot help mak- ing sundry doelful observations when one discovers that the top-line attraction talked about has been ditched for what amounts to "want of public support" The radio must have the public support or. commer- cially, 1t cannot survive. And that's one reason why there are so many jazz orchestras on the air.

FOOLISH HENS
Ry Roger Brebner

By Roger Brebner Gree upon a time the hens called d great meeting to see if something couldn't be done to improve their condition.
 When they were all assembled a large Harmony Plymouth Rock, who appeared to be the leader. addressed the gathering as follows: My dear sisters. we are gathered here today to find ways and means for promot- ing our welfare. The liberty and freedom that our great. great grand mothers enjoyed has been taken away, and we are nothing more than slaves. As fast as we turn out eggs they are removed, and finally when cur production starts to fall away. it is no secret that we disappear in the night, and l am reliably in- formed are cooked and eaten by men. Can any sister present suggest a remedy?"
 "l can," cackled an old hen from q, jump. T make a motion that all you hens, who are still able to lay eggs. get together some day and' but she was interrupted at this point by a White Leghorn who said. Do I understand the sister just speaking to imply she is no longer able to lay eggs?"
 Yes" replied the old hen.
 Then your motions don't count said the White Leghorn. and she was accordingly declared out of order,
 A Rhode Island Red next ad- dressed the chair: Sisters, as the first speaker hare today has ably said, conditions are indeed unbear- able. but we have ourselves to blame. At night when the sun goes down we hens go to bed, and know nothing of what IS going on. Many things are probably happening al night of Wbich We know nothing We are away behind the times Why cannot we take lesson from our cousins. the owls. who ha,e al. ways stayed up nights, and are re- puted to be the Niscst of all birds No one has ever made slaves out o1 them"
 All the other hens loudly olucket their approval Of this and the Rhode Island Red continued: T make : motion that commencing tonight w do not return to our GOODS. but sta. out and see what is going on in thu world.'
 The motion was carried, and tha night none of the hens went home.
 When if had become real dark however. they were unable to see and one by one they were caugh and devoured by foxes and othe nocturnal animals,
