Millions.

Atlanta, Ga.-Drenched with rains
and ravaged by storms during the past
10 days. the south took stock of the
damage beneath a warm springlike sun
while floods still ranged in some Sec
tons.
Tornadoes and floods caused at least
10 deaths in six states. The greatest
loss of life was in Tennessee, where 20
were dead at Hartman, with two bodies
recovered; seven at Rockford, members
Of boy scout troop; and three at Web
ster. Six of the deaths were in Ken
lucky, a youth drowning in the flood
waters of the Cumberland river at
Pineville, and three boys drowned at
Barbourville.
All the rest were due to tornadoes,
except one, farmer who was struck
by lightning at Alpharetta, Ga.
Already River Junction, Fla, at the
confluence Of the Chattahoochee and
Flint rivers, had felt the force of the
waters descending from it's northern
neighbors, its business section and part
of its residences were already under
water and the river there was still
rising. 1t stood at 34.3 feet, a rise Of
Ia feet in the preceding "a hours.
Fort Gaines, Ga, on the Chatta-
heochee, had the highest waters in it's
history. The river is three miles wide.
The city pumping station was under
water, as was the ice and cold storage
plant and the Southern Cotton Oil Co.
Mail was brought into the town by

NEWS AMONG
SCANDINAVIANS
Continued from Page -


sen is a native of Denmark, who on
number of occasions has contributed
substantially to enterprises having
for their purpose the aid of his COM
patriots. Not so many years ago he
started his business career as a groc-
cry clerk in Chicago; he now owns
the controlling stock in a company
which runs more than a thousand
stores.
Borrowed in U. s.
The fact that the Danish govern
ment not so long ago borrowed $685.
100000 in this country has led to the
compilation of statistics which show
that Denmark now owes the United
States a total of $35S,62S.2OO The
Danish state assets are given as
SAILS, 100000. Attention has been
called-in this connection-to the fact
that the trade balance between Den
mark and the United States is dis
tinctly unfavorable as far as the for
mer country is concerned, the imports
from America far exceeding the eX-
ports to America.
Name Unchanged.
Last year the national board of Of
ficers of the Sons of Norway lodge
voted to rename their organization,
Sons and Daughters of Norway, with
out, apparently, consulting the Daugh-
ters of Norway organization. Due to
a ruling by the attorney general of
Minnesota, the officers at meeting
in Minneapolis have decided to let the
name remain unchanged as a change
might have some unfavorable bear
ing on the insurance arrangements of
the Sons of Norway.
Denmark RatifieS.
The Danish government has offici-
ally notified the American state de-
partment that it's parliament has
ratified the kellogg treaty against
war. The ratification was made with
out reservations, and all parties were
agreed. There had, in fact, been no
adverse movement and no opposition
but a slight delay occurred due to
technical formalities. During the de-
bate preceding the vote, high tributes
were paid to the far-sighted policy Of
the American government which was
warmly praised for having taken
with Premier BRAND of France the
initiative in this matter.
Coming by Airship.
Miss Sonia Henie, a young Norwe-
gian girl who has won all the skating
championships of the world, has been
invited to come to the United States,
and it seems almost certain that she
will accept the invitations. Now it
appears from a cabled story from
Berlin that DR.. Hugo Eckener, build
err and master of the dirigible, "Graf
Zeppelin" has asked Miss Henie. to
go to the United States as his guest
aboard the airship; it is said to be
likely that she will try this up-to-date
mode of travelling from continent to

STANDARD OILS
RADIO CONCERTS
VERY ELABORATE

But few people who hear the Sunday
evening concert of the world famous
Chicago Symphony Orchestra which
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
is broadcasting every Sunday evening
between and o'clock, through sta
lions associated with the National
Broadcasting Company, realize how
much work that production involves.
While the concert itself Is played
by approximately seventy-five men. in
Guiding DR.. Frederick Stock, noted
conductor under whose personal di-
rection the broadcast is made, at
least fifty other persons, experts in
their own fields, are involved in pre-
senting the hour of master music.
The program of music to be played
during the hour is selected and built
by DR.. Stock and his assistants more
than a month previous to the concert
itself. This musical synopsis is sub
mitted to the program director for the
Chicago NBC studios, who in turn
submits it to officials of the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana for their ap-
prevail.
the synopsis is turned over to the
continuity editor, who works with DR..
Stock in preparing the explanations
preceding each number which make
the music Ineligible in theme to
the listening millions. When the con-
tinuity is finished, a stenographer
makes a stencil of it and a first mime
ograph copy is run off. Copies of this
are gone over again for further cor
rections and after adjustments for
time, etc., have been made, another
mimeograph set is made and labeled

When these copies are approved
Master" set is made and these are
put in the hands of Sen Kaney, the
announcer, DR.. Stock, officials of the
Standard Oil Company Ondiana), pro-
gram director and the heads of various
departments.
In the meantime, the story on the
concert has been written by the press
relations department and forwarded
to New York City where a copy editor
reads it, sends it to the composing
room where a linotype operator sets
it into type, and probably five or six
other men handle it before it is fin
ally printed and sent to papers all
over the country. In each of these
newspaper offices the radio editor
clips the program and sends it to the
it is again handled by many hands
before it is printed in the paper for
the benefit of the radio listener.
The broadcast is preceded by hours
of rehearsal on the part of the or
chestra, while the electrical engineers
in charge of the machinery involved
in putting the concert on the air
spend hours checking equipment so
that the most perfect transmission
possible will be obtained.
When the concert is actually broad
cast the orchestra of seventy-five men
and the announcer are in the studio.
In the monitor studio sits the program
director, reading duplicate score so
that each tonal value can be given
it's full value as he gives his running
line of instructions to the engineer
on the mixing board" A morse wire
operator is in constant touch with the
plant department to check on the
manner in which the music is going
on the air and other morse operators
are constantly in touch with each
station during the broadcast.
