usually short and he chooses just one central
point and hammers at it. He does not seem
nervous, but merely anxious to finish.
Comdr Richard E. Byrd had his speech pre-
pared and fully self possessed when he
appeared at the studio, but his soft Southern
drawl put the studio attendants through q
peculiar species Of torture, for they had visions
Of having to cut him of before he had finished
what he had to say. He told his story simply,
however, and managed to finish within his
prescribed time. Gene Tunney looked as If
he wished he were somewhere else than the
studio. He stood up and read his speech
stiffiy but his voice registered well.
The microphone had most unhappy effect
upon Madame Jeritza The very atmosphere
of the studio made her nervous and she asked
that the curtains Of the broadcasting room be
drawn, so that no one on the outside could
look In at her during her songs. But no
sooner were the curtains closed than she burst
into tears and began pacing up and down the
room
The announcer went ahead with his prepara-
tions and just before he was ready he called
warning and she attempted to pull herself
together. She caught up wrap and put It
about her shoulders, and, womanlike took out
q npstick and her powder to give her poiSe
before her invisible audience. Then she cast
one appealing look at the announcer and step
ped up like soldier and sang as If she were
really enjoying it.
Galh-Curci made a determined attack on
radio fright by showing up at the studio for
five rehearsals before she was to go on the air.

radio. Before one of the greatest assemblages
Of generals he was at perfect ease, but before
the little black disc he was humble and when
he had finished his talk he mopped the per-
spiration from his brow with a "Whew!" of
relief. And like most dignitaries after first
radio speech, he naiyely turned to the an
nouncer and asked: did do all right?"
The man who Is remarkable for being most
at ease before microphone is the new Secre-
tary Of the Interior, Ray Lyman Wilbur. He
appeared at the studio without a prepared
speech, carrying only few notes In his hand.
He sat down before the microphone and talked
along with perfect ease in q conversational
tone, and from time to time when the an
nouncer indicated to him how much longer
he had to talk he smiled and nodded in recog-
milton that he understood and proceeded with
his talk. Such q proceeding with the aver
age speaker would cover him with confusion.
The profound and dignifed Attorney General
William Mitchell manifested the symptoms Of
only slight attack Of studio seasickness. It
is seldom obvious in the voice of the speaker
as it reaches the radio audience, but shows up
by his actions when he enters the studio and
afterward when the ordeal is over.
SECRETARY MELLON is dinicult speaker
for radio people. He does not get close
enough to the microphone. Consequently, his
voice does not carry well. During his broad
casting it Is always necessary to request him
to get closer to the microphone. He appears
slightly nervous and reads his talk hesitatingy.
Col. Lindbergh is very forceful speaker.
He usually speaks from a standing position and
leans over with his hands partially spread
apart. He says the little he has to say hur-
riedly but distinctly, and he had Q tendency to
raise his voice. His speeches are always I'M

MADAME Jeritza exhibited unusual
nervousness Wten she first entered the
studio, but ,Uhen final preparations tUere
completed, she stepped up and sang as
though she really enjoyed it,
gesture of emphasis In some it has produced
all the more familiar outward symptoms of real
fright
ID ECENTLY well known Negro quartet was
broadcasting from Washington studio.
The first few lines of the song had gone very
well. when the second tenor literally began to
turn white The announcer, who always has
an eye out for symptoms of nervousness, quickly
cut of the current when the singer faltered
and dropped over on the floor in dead faint.
Attendants took the unfortunate tenor out of
the room and applied restoratives. In a few
moments they had him back on his feet and be-
fore the microphone again. and the gentlemen
and ladies of the radio audience" never knew
what had happened.
One incident out of which studio attendants
have got many a sly chuckle was the fright
before the microphone of one of the best known
newspaper columnists in the country. He is
man who shows no respect for the great and
the near-great, wisecracking in his column at
the expense of anybody and everybody. He
started out on his radio talk with a normal
amount of assurance, but soon he was seen to
hesitate. He swallowed hard three times in
succession, and then, paving the air in front
Of his face, he pushed his copy into the hands
of the announcer and fled.
When President of the United States talks
over the radio the microphone is of course, set
up wherever he happens to be- Both President
Hoover and former President Coolidge are good
radio speakers and are apparently at perfect
ease ION the air."
Just before taking office President Hoover
made four-minute talk from his Washington
home. Operators had apparatus installed in his
study, and before going on the air he chatted
with them and passed cigars around. He was
not the least bit nervous, and talked over the
radio as if he were Ii ordinary conversation.
Former President Coolidge is usually calm
and cool enough before microphone. During
his administration he spoke over the radio about
forty times He has always had reputation

for being on time for broadcasting. If he was
scheduled to talk at o'clock you could count
on his being present at about fifteen seconds
before or after the hour.
He became so used to seeing microphone
around during the five years Of his adm snistra-
ton that he must have become Indifferent to
1t, judging from one story which Is now being
told concerning his microphone behavior. On
the occasion In question he was to deliver q
speech at the dedication of tablet which had
Leen placed in the Washington Monument by
the State of South Dakota.
The President arrived little early and was
ready to begin his speech before the hook-up
had been completed One Of the attendants
stepped UP to him and asked II he would mind
waiting until WRC was ready, meaning, Of
course, the Washington radio station He was
very agreeable about the delay and later, when
the attendant approached Mr.. Coolidge to tell
him that the hook-up had been completed, the
President anticipated the announcer by inquir-
ing: els the Woman's Relief Corps ready?"
TWO other men who are not at all faxed by
the dignity and unresponsiveness of the
microphone are former Vice President Charles
Dawes and Senator pat" Harrison of Missis-
sippi. When Dawes talked about the Senates
rules he pounded the table so violently that
two operators had to rush forward and grab the
microphones to keep them from jumping OF the
table and to protect the listeners from getting
all sorts Of terrible noises. And they had to
continue to hold the microphones throughout
the remainder of the talk
The lack of a visible audience didn't bother
Senator Harrison, either He waxed just as
eloquent and just as vituperative If he were
holding forth on the floor of the Senate He
waved his arms and he pounded the table until
the microphone had to be held by the an
nouncer.
What few radio speakers realize is that there
Is an operator in q control booth in the studio
from which they are speaking sitting at board
with key In his hand He listens attentively
to the speaker In an attempt to regulate the
intensity of the voice Of the speaker. When q
speaker wakes warm and begins yelling, the
operator softens the tones, and when he drops
his voice to whisper 1t must be increased in
volume to get over to the radio listeners.

His name is Radio Seasickness.
Nearly all the Nations notables have
displayed symptoms of the disease at
one time or other. But the epidemic
Is passing. As the microphone becomes a more
and more familiar object, 1t loses its power to
brighten and upset, and celebrities become
hardened navigators on the radio waves.
But strong men have tainted and women have
wept at the impressive silence Of the little black
disc It stares them out of countenance, and,
like million eyes, 1t bores holes in their self

ASTRONOMERS MODEL
SHOWS EARTH is PUNY

NEW YORK (P.-The astounding
size of that part of the universe already
photographed through telescopes is
pictured by Sir James Jeans, British
astronomer.
Imagine, he says, the earth's yearly
orbit around the sun-6O0, OOO. 900 miles
AS the size of the head of q pin.
The nearest fixed star would be 225
yards away. And the whole of North
America around the pin-head would
represent only that one galaxy of stars,
the Milky Way, to which earth belongs.
Outside the Milky Way telescopes
have identified 100000 other galaxies
of stars, and measured their distances.
The nearest would lie 10000 miles from
North America, with the others spotted
over each S0,000-mile distance until
the outermost would lie on a rim about
1000, 900 miles away in every direction.
The earth could not be seen with
the most powerful microscope.

PIES FOR MEN

Several persons have pointed
out that no recipe for apple pie
was included in last weeks ap-
pie story. Captain j. w. Wick
ers went so far as to say that
Mrs. Vickers made "the best
apple pie in Kennewick." Now
if any other husband thinks
that their wives make "the best
pie in town" here is his chance
to prove it. Mrs Vicker's recipe,
which sounds like dandy"
follows:
Pastry
2 cups sifted flour
2-3 cups shortening
Sd teaspoon salt
Mix shortening into flour
with finger tips. Do not cut in
too fine or the crust will not
be flakey. Add enough cold wa
ter to make flour and shorten
ing stick together.
Filling
Peel and slice enough apples
to fill the pie tin. Chop the APP
pies slightly to prevent them be-
ing too tight together.
l cup sugar
2 tablespoon flour
1-2 teaspoo nutmeg
tablespoons butter
Mix the dry ingredients and
work the BUTTER into the sugar.
Put half the sugar mixture in
to the bottom of the pie shell
and add apples. Cover the fruit
with the remainder of the sugar
and add two tablespoons cold
water. Put on top crust and bake
in a medium oven about 80
minutes.

Miss West to know the probable
size of the class to have supplies
on hand with which to work.
The processes of upholstering
are taught by covering footstools,

with a variety of materials, which

Hot Lunches for School Children
Suggested for Cold, Stormy DAYS

sHot lunches for cold days, sat
isfying, nourishing lunches for
every day, should be the slogan of
every mother of a school child,''
Miss Edna M. West, county extern
sion agent, declared Friday in her
talk on "School Lunches at the
meeting of the Highlands Women's
club.
"How would you like to eat a
cold lunch these stormy days." she
continued. "This condition may be
remedied by furnishing the child
with a vacuum bottle containing hot
food or by the school making some
provision to serve hot dish"
One hundred sixty-five cups of
soup have been served to the Rich
land school children every day for
the last two weeks. This work
has been sponsored by the P. 7. A.
and the Women's club under the
direct supervision of Mrs. w. A..
Pike. The dishes giving the
most satisfaction have been beef
soup with vegetables, tomato soup,
cocoa, bean soup, and macaroni
with tomato sauce. Two cents per
serving has been the charge for the
lunch each day. This amount pays
for the cost of the food and for the
preparation.
"Growing children have special
needs in the way of food" Miss
West pointed out. even when they
eat all of their meals at home, it
is no easy matter to see that they
are properly fed, and when they
eat part Of their meals at school
the difficulty is far greater.
"The work of preparing the
school lunch is a daily task, which
comes at busy time, and it re-
quires careful planning to insure
variety and wholesomeness. Con-
tainers should be of a convenient
size and shape, light to carry, SAN
itary so that they may be washed
and scalded daily and ventilated.
A small Jar with a cover should be
provided for fruits and salads.
''It is easy to plan wholesome
lunch, but variety is sometimes
hard to secure and it is necessary
if the child is to relish the meal. 1t
may be made tempting by little
surprise, an easy garnish and at
tractive packing"
Suggestions for School Lunches

witches, sliced cookies.
2. Milk, orange, carrot and pea

crackers.
