HEARST CAROLS
MAKE CHORUS
Of NATION

The population of the United
States will be transformed into a
huge Christmas choir tonight at
II o'clock through the cooperation
of the Hearst newspapers through
out the country with the National
Broadcasting Company in giving
nationwide distribution to carol
service. DIR. S. Parkes Cadman,
famous pulpit orator and especially
well known to radio listeners
through his long service in broad
casting Sunday and Christmas serv-
ices, will conduct the service and
the music will be supplied by the
internationally known Paulist Choir
listers, directed by Father Finn, the
Medievalists, mixed choir Of
Father Finn's organization also
known to radio listeners through
repeated concerts, and Father Finn
himself as organist.
Washington listeners will hear
this service through WRC and a
special section of The Washington
Times this afternoon contains not
only the carols to be sung by the
radio audience, but most Of the
music to be sung by the choir
Every listener is invited by the
Hearst newspapers to join in the
singing and arrangements have
been made for community and
neigl1borhood and family gatherings
just for this purpose in all sections
of the country. This is, perhaps,
the most comprehensive utilization
of radio to give opportunity for
every man, woman and child in the
country to sing Christmas music
ever attempted and will make a
national chorus that should do much
to start Christmas with the right
spirit.

much singing of carols Saturday

The United Choral Singers and Or

half an hour later turned up at
WRC in the Atwater Kent affair
as soprano of one of the best quar-

Saratoga Safely
Negotiates Canal

Balboa, C. T., Feb. S.-R)-The
giant aircraft carrier Saratoga was
tied up at the wharves Of Balboa
today having accomplished the most
difficult operation ever attempted
in the Panama Canal. Because of
the size Of the ship which is LOG
feet across at its widest part, al
lowing only a clearance of two feet
on each side, it took three days to
maneuver her through the canal.
In yesterdays passage from
Gatun Lock through one lock at
Pedro Miguel and two at Miraflores
to the Pacific, the ship slightly
scraped the framework of the
emergency lock at Pedro Miguel.
These locks, like the three negotiat-
ed by the vessel at the Atlantic
end Of the canal, arc 10 feet wide.
When the vessel passed through the
Gatun lakes Sunday part Of the
superstructure of the ship peeled off
several feet Of concrete from the
top Of the lock. The ship was not
damaged.
The ship began it's dcscen. to the
Pacific at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and arrived at Balboa at 8 In
the afternoon. The delay WAS due
to the low tide prevailing IN The Pa
cific at the time which: eorced the
vessel to wait in the lower chamber
of Miraflores locks for the high
tide at 4:1O p. M.

Books For the Home
Come Under 4 Groups

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. S.-H
- Books selected for the home Ii
brary should meet the needs Of the
individual but may generally be
classified into four groups, A. d.
keator, librarian of the state uni
versity here, said today in discuss
ing the problems Of buying books
for the home.
If you can have only two books,
a Bible and dictionary would be
good selection, keator said, since
each is representative of a class
which should be found in every
home.
The class referred to contains
books which are needed for occa-
sional reference and not for read
ing, he said. Chief among the
books in this class for the average
home are a good dictionary, first
aid medical book, a book of Stats
tics, small atlas and a telephone
directory.
The second classification contains
text books on the trade or profess
sion represented in the home. A
farmer needs agricultural texts and
bulletins, a banker needs books on
finance and investments, the wife
needs cook books and a volume or
two on household management.
Anyone who has hobby such as
gardening, music, radio or bridge
whist would do we'll to have a care
fully chosen books on the subject,
Keator said.
The third classification contains
books which person wishes to read
more than once. Books of comfort
and inspiration. In this classified
ton keator placed the great dcvo-
tional books such as the Bible, the
seasoned classics of Shakespeare,
Emerson, Tolstoi and Homer, biog-
raphies and perhaps few modern
classics like Shaw, Burroughs,
Galsworthy and Mark Twain. This
group Of books forms the personal
side of tho library and reflects as
does nothing else in the house the
character of the home, Keator said.
The fourth class Of necessary
books, Keator said, contains vol
umes for the youngsters. What
children read is so largely instru-
mental in building their characters
that great care should be taken in
se.ecting these books, he said.
For other books he recommends
patronizing the public library and
warned against the purchase of an
encyclopedia unless it is a good one.
From book standpoint first-class
unabridged dictionary is o better
buy, he said.

Maharajah Overcomes
Marriage Obstacles

Bombay, India, Feb. g. (AP) -
Present indications are the former
Maharajah of Indorc has succeeded
in surmounting the religious obsta-
cles to his marriage to Miss Nancy
Ann Miller of Seattle, Wash.
The design of the Hindu mahrattas
to prevent the former ruler from
abandoning their cult has been sue
cessfM. In response to their repre-
sensations, the former maharajah's
secretary visited their headquarters
and discussed at length plans for the
conversion of the American girl to
Hinduism. The mahrattas are con-
fident that the former maharajah,
who is expected at Poona shortly,
will agree to have the ceremonies
performed there.
To this end, they arc preparing

for Miss Miller's initiation to be fol-
lowed by the marriage. If no hitch
develops the religious head Of their
community will superintend Miss
Miller's introduction into Hinduism.
The offer of q Moslem to convert
the former ruler and Miss Miller to
Mohammandanism and marry them
caused CONSERVATION among the
mahrattas. They wired a long APP
peal to the former maharajah. In
it they stated there were cases of
Mohammedans and Christians being
converted to Hinduism and they
would gladly welcome the American
girl. They appealed to the former
ruler as shining light of the NAH
rattas not to abandon the religion
Of his forefathers.
