HOOVER STARTS 0N
 VISIT ID EDISON
Wizard Will Show Him His New
 Rubber Experiments

Miami Beach, Fla, Feb. (UP) Elect Hoover will set sail today on . yachting cruise that takes him on . pilgrimage to the home of Thomas, A. Edison. the aged wizard of American invention. who stands a. one of the chief gym bols of the modern industrial age in which Mir. Hoover is a leading figure.
 MT. Hoover. generally regarded as the spokesman for this efficiency era, will have opportunity to chat not only with the inventor. but also with two other outstanding expo nents of the machine age. Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. who will be present at Edison's sgd birthday celebration at Fort Myers Monday.
 The president-elect and Mrs. Hoover left shortly after lunch. mo- tored to Trestle Number Two. down the coast, where MT. Hoover caught his sail fish. and there embarked on Jeremiah Milbank's yacht saunterer. Milbank and Edgar Ricard of New York. old friend and former part ner of the president-elect. will ac. company him on the two-day cruise about the southern end of Florida. through the Keys and up the west coast.
 Due Monday at Noon
 The schedule provides for arrival at Fort Myers about noon Monday. The Saunterer will dock at the Edi- son winter home. where Mir. and Mrs. Hoover will be met by the in. ventor.
 The president-elect will visit q, the Edison home only a few hours During that time, the aged inventor will show Mr. Hoover and his other two friends, Ford and Firestone, the little plot where he is experimenting with rubber culture and explain te them the new dream that has come to him at this period of . life filled with numerous successes.
 MT. Hoover is perhaps as keenl, interested in the rubber problem a. the other two whose business live, 1t concerns so intimately. both o1 whom are now concerned in pro. jects for rubber culture on a larg. scale, Ford in the far interior O Brazil and Firestone right here 1, Florida. as well as in Liberia an, in the Philippines.
 ! As secretary of commerce. MT Hoover sponsored a bill designed tt break the British rubber monopol. which, while it failed of enactment was credited with Great Britaini modification of the Stevenson rub Der restriction act by which tha country dominated the world sup ply. While active in this move. h, instituted investigations aimed . developing rubber substitutes.
 The four men will have lunch to gether. and afterward will partici pate in an automobile parad, through Fort Myers and Its outly ing districts for which schools o the city will be assembled.

 Escapes Jail Penalty

Pleading nolo contendere. Edward Jennings. :6. Of 3S Dewey street. was fined t150 and costs and given . suspended jail sentence of IS days by Judge Stanley J. Traceskl in po- lice court today on the charge of violation of the liquor law in his smoke shop at 3s Hartford avenue. Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Woods. who recommended the penalty. said Jennings was | second offender against the liquor law. but in this instance nothing but home made beer had been found on the prem ises. The analysis showed 1t to have an alcoholic content of 2.34 per cent by volume and l.SS per cent by weight.
 Judge Traceski, accepting the rec ommendation. said the jail sentence would be strictly enforced" should Jennings be convicted again of vio- iating the liquor law. Prosecuting Attorney Woods remarked that the smoke shop is one of the few places to retain the bar which was used in the days before prohibition.
 Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg. who represented Jennings, protested after court against having the cost of analysis of two samples of the home brew charged against Jennings. The police claimed it was necessary to take two samples because some of the beer was exposed for sale while some more was only recently made on the premises.

makers haven't as high an estimate Of
the publics intelligence as they should
have, Is one that Is heard every now
and then. The other night spent sew
eral hours in going through q lot of let
tiers to see II could get some sort Of
index Of public approval.
Two facts stand out. One is that
there Is apparently an increasing appre-
citation Of good music, so far as 1t can
be judged on this fragmentary show
ing; the other is that radio listeners
are almost evenly divided between or
cheStral and vocal music, with perhaps
a slight preference for the former. The
best musical discrimination is shown
by the orchestral fans. It is they who
seem more alert in watching for real
excellence and in commencing it when
they find it. The lovers Of vocal music
seem to run pretty much to barber
shop enthusiasts, but vocal perform
ances of rare quality are always gen.
erouSly acclaimed. While many niusi-
clans believe that the spiritualS have
been somewhat overworked, there is no
doubt but that they have q strong
hold on public affections. I was sur
priSed that the letters showed about
one-third of the writers favoring edu-
cational material. Taking programs as
they are and public taste so far as it
may be observed and studied, it seems
to me that the broadcasting companies
are feeding in quality about as fast as
the public will take 1t. AS Whitman
said, IF we are to have great poets,
We must have great audiences, too"
