RADIO SALES TALKS
HELD HINDRANCE.
'WiIbur'S Committee Finds
Programs Lose Much of
Educational Value.
Rv the Associated Pros.

by the Associated Press.
Secretary Wilbur's advisory committee
son radio education has found that one
of the chief objections to microphonic
obstruction is that educational broad
scasts, sandwiched in between sales talks
kon cigarettes and lip sticks, need to be
so sugar-coated they lose most of their
educational value"
The committee. composed of edu-
Gators, radio officials and prominent
broadcasters. has been given the task
of evolving methods for the promotion
of educational broadcaSting to schools
and class rooms throughout the country.
Summarized, the objections raised to
radio as a medium of bringing education
to adults are:
The average person does not want
education and reSents the implication
that he needs it; the effects of educa-
tional talks are largely passive; radio
talks encourage the fallacy that listen
ing signifies the acquisition of learning,
and the radio bars all teachers except
those who have good delivery.
The advantages of radio, which the
committee says probably more than
Offset the disadvantages, are set out as
follows:
1t democratizes higher learning by
removing obstacles that now make it
available only to small percentage of

Americans, and brings it to all ages
sexes, colors. races, creeds and people
in all stations or economic conditions.
1t carries the lessons of great teachers
to multitudes of listeners.
1t multiplies intellectually the effec-
tive reach of the endowment dollar" by
eliminating the need of expensive halls
and dormitories It provides the swift
est means yet known for the spread of
ideas, opens the treasures of the uni
versities to all on the same conditions
and increases the public appreciation of
education
The radio compels essential brevity
and point, long lost art among college
lecturers" its champions add, and
makes room for the amateur teacher
who has no place in the formal aca-
demic plan but who has a love, an
aptitude for teaching and a wisdom
worth sharing.
Far from injuring established insti-
buttons, supporters of educational broad
casting say, it so stimulates intellectual
ambition among parents and young
people as to increase enrollments.

Reserve position in this country.
MFR. Reynolds, president of the First
National Bank of New York, discussed
the bank at a luncheon of the Bond
Club of New York. 1t was his first
public pronouncement on the subject.
The new banks business, he said,
would be large, aside from its connec-
ton with reparations payments, and it
might go long way toward solving the
gold problem.
Mr.. Reynolds thought it could be
assumed that France would want the
general management of the institution,
adding that "She may be able to get it.

CHICAGO, February 27.-The
trouble with william Thomas
system was that he worked it
twice in the same place.
For 20 years Thomas tainted,
foamed at the mouth and walked
out of restaurants without paying
a cent for such morsels as T-bone
steak and mincemeat pie.
Tuesday Thomas revisited the
scene of a former triumph. A
policeman found a bar of soap
in his pocket. The soap explained
enough about foaming at the
mouth to put Thomas in the
Bridewell long enough to work
out a fine of S25.

Here's Boston's Idea of Spinach at Its Best

The objection to eating spinach is
tak-hg serious form. The professional
jokesmiths are flinging fun at it and
that may drive this splendid vegetable
from our tables. Small boys may re-
joice at this result, but small boys
have been known to rejoice when the
schoolhouse has been destroyed by
fire.
Why spinach should fail to raise
enthusiasm among gustatcry critics is
not difficult to understand. Perhaps
If modicum of trouble were taken
in its preparation, spinach would find
itself highly esteemed. To plunge it
into saucepan of water and to let it
boil until 1t is soft renders it palata-
Bile enough to those who are in the
habit of eating ii plain, but for those
whose palates have to be tickled, it
Is better to have it prepared with
fried onions and-and not or-hard-
boiled eggs. And the spinach should
be thoroughly minced before serving
and should be brought to the con-
sistency of mashed potatoes. Then
spinach is a delicious vegetable. agree

able to all, yes, even the small boy.
1t shall be admitted here that there
is sand in spinach. But the careful
housewife and experienced cook cas-
lily remove it. 1t needs only three or
four dimensions in cold water. The
ancients ate spinach, which is a ma
tive of Asia, and, so far as we know.
the old Greek and Latin poets and
prose writer's gave off no splenetic re-
marks on its flavor. Indeed, all the
cooks that have gone before have
lauded it foc its excellence-for its
taste, appetizing character and its
healthfulness. That spinach has tonic
qualities, goo1 for blood and bone, has
long been admitted by physicians and
perhaps that may account for the
small boys opposition to it's presence
at table.-Boston Transcript.

'The people who decry peace mis-

vowing that such things are no use

tramp.
''The tramp's companion pointed
to large building on a hill and

Gas Wells of Germany
Furnish Little Helium

There are natural gas wells in
Germany whose output contains he
lium, writes Kurt We'll in Die Um-
schau, a German scientific periodi-
cal, but there is no prospect of the
Graf Zeppelin or any of her future
sister airships being filled with Ger
man helium, for the combined prod
uct of all of the four German wells
whose gas contains this valuable ele-
ment would have to be accumulated
for 400 years before there would be
enough to fill the Graf. AS compared
with this, Herr We'll cites the great
American well at Petrolia, Texas,
which yields 425,O0O cubic meters of
gas, with helium content of nine
tenths of l per cent. This would fill
a Graf Zeppelin in few days.
