FOR RADIO
TONIGHT

or all the little movements of
the wave lengths scheduled for this
evening that fraught with the most
meaning for most listeners will be
the plunge of Ernie Hare and Billy
Jones, of Happiness fame, into
chain of broadcasting stations as
interviewer specialists. The only
feature of this excursion of the
popular team among the mediums
of wider circulation than they have
heretofore enjoyed, is the fact that
Washington listeners must tune
them through WBAL or any of the
WIZ group of stations. They may,
be found, with the program of old
time jigs and dances, at $3.50 doing
their regular stuff.
While abroad among the broad.
casters we might as well call atten.
ton to the bobbing UP again of
the Goldman Band on the surging
wave lengths. This feature. too.
adjusts itself to other frequencies
than those serving Washington
broadcasters and may be found at
WBAL or the WIZ group at $3.50.
The bands winter endeavors-and
were told for next summer as well
will be subsidized by the Pure
Oil Company for a coast.to.coast
distribution.
The usual regular programs will
be heard through WRC at the
usual hours, and WMAL viii pre-.
sent its regular Saturday evening
"All-Washington" outburst. In the
Community Chest outpourings of
this evening the chief item will
come from VOL, where a musical
program by the Carolinions Trio
will be adjusted to the regular eve-
ming talk. C. Melvin Sharp. of the
Potomac Electric Power Company,
is to be the VOL speaker. and the
music and talk will occupy half an
hour.
The White House dinner concert
from WRC will feature particularly
one of the ''Romances" of Granados,
the modern Spanish composer whose
work is so vividly Spanish and yet
intensely human in it's appeal, In
the tuning distances one may find
revival of the old-time melodrama,
The Hunchbaek." in the WIZ
studio at 10 o'clock, and at 1890
the Cino Singers can be tuned from
WLW.
The last paragraphs really the
last paragraph for this particular
writer in this particular coll
and il its appearance seems a bit
personal. may its excuse be that
we want to tell all those who have
been with US during the last three
years what a great deal we've got
out Il this radio work and the
generous support that has been
given us? Thanks--very, very much
and au revoir.

was but IS years old when he was made president Of that
same university. Clarence Cook Little was president Of
the University of Maine at "a and Of the University of
Michigan at 81. When DR.. Glenn Frank was made pres
ident of the University Of Wisconsin a few years ago he
was SO years old.
All of these men early proved their exceptional execu-
tive ability. Such has been their success as to leave in
the mind Of no one the thought that an older man would
have accomplished more. And the young men will cite
these successes as proof Of the superiority Of youth and
as signs Of the coming of a new era for youth.
1t may not take the same calbre of a man to succeed
in a college presidency as in big business, but that argu-
ment cannot be advanced by Henry Ford and other "old
men" with a condescending attitude toward masculinity
under 40. The automobile industry long ago discovered
that young men make first rate executives. and the man.
ufacturers of motor cars have been making the most of
that discovery.
This recognition of the capabilities of young men may
deprive a few older men of executive positions, but it
will more than compensate for that unfortunate situa-
ton by firing many young men with new ambition, new
hopes and new vision, to the betterment of society.

Lexington had been fought more than

The strength Of Aliens attack lay
In the fact that 1t was such a COM

later was to become q traitor, played
q valiant part under Allen in the at

The next day Allen sent a note to
the governor Of Connecticut. telling
him in this whimsical fashion Of the
prisoners he had taken: II make you
