Everybody knows, I imagine. that

and pithier, but it Is also beginning to
be noticed that more public men are
paying greater attention to their diction
than they used to. The diction of an

the whole 1t sets much higher stand

life, and a good many men are becom-
ing conscious of the fact that they
do not stand up well in comparison to
announcers who are trained to speak
clearly, naturally and correctly
There also is the probability that
within few years radio will somewhat
