COMEDY SHOW MAKES
 MONEY FOR SENIORS

The three presentations of the popular comedy, "The Whole Towns Talking staged by the senior students of the High school at Coliseum Theatre, enriched the treasury of the senior class over S130. The greater part of this amount was receipts from the last show given at matinee on New Years Day. The money is to go toward meeting the expenses of the graduating class in the spring at the close of school.
 The first two shows given were attended by comparatively small number of people and the money scarcely covered necessary expens- es. The flu epidemic was raging at the time and this was undor1t- ediy responsible for the small turn out as all those who witnessed the play were enthusiastic about the fine way in which it was put over.
 Due to the fact that no money was made from the two shows, w. D. Gross very generously offered the house free of cost to the class for the New Years performance and this help went a long way to- wards making the affair a success fro ma financial standpoint
 The spicy comedy was presented and acted in veteran style. under the direction of Miss Ardena Leer, Spanish teacher at the High school. and the entire cast with it's diree- tor is deserving of the success the presentation won. Miss Dorothy Fisher, instrumental teacher at the school. and the High School or ehestfa which she instructs, is due for credit for the fine music they furnished for the three shows, all voluntarily.

 Meantime, the sisters prefer American music and are giving it first place on their programs.
 "'You're A Real Sweetheart is very simple foxtrot song with an orchestration which gives us an ideal range for our voices," says Evelyn, spokesman for the trio. sIt is really one of the simpl- est tunes we sing, but it's possibili- ties are remarkable. It has the perfect dance rhythm and can be dressed up as an aria or garbed as a super-modern.
 ''We try to look ahead of the times and we think that the mod ernist harmonies are going to be the new thing in music for the next few vears."

COLLEGE FEATURE IS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

What happens to young people who go to college in these so- called jazz days?
 The answer to this question is given in First Nationals ''The Drop Kick" starring Richard Bar thelmess,l a story of college life today, which comes to the Palace Theatre tonight.
 '@The Drop Kick is an enter taining story, with dramatic thrill and much comedy, and favored with the excitement of a big foot ball game As the story unfolds it is apparent that college boys and girls of today are much the same as they were in days gone by, and that college brings out the good in most young men and wo- men, while the bad in others is bound to come out whether they are in college or not.

High power was defended as the best
way to get consistently good radio

pected to cover, which is about 100
miles for chain members. Five to fifty
kilowatts of power have been found
absolutely necessary, not for great dis

Mr.. Aylesworth said. The fact that
duplication results at some points does
not alter the fact that each large city
needs its own source of chain programs
in order to receive them regularly, he
pointed out.
The president of the National Broad
casting Co. paid high tribute to all five
members of the Federal Radio Com

concerned whether the commission was
continued for another year or not.
He declared he regarded the November
reallocation as a mistake in some In

Cincinnati. The commission, he said,
has hurt the N. B. G. service by its
