Y Attest reports from the
National BroadcaSting Co.
show that more than H.
- 100000 men, women and
children have enrolled in the
two radio piano-playing classes
Keys to Happiness" and Music
in the Air" This is the worlds
largest piano class.
Verbally guiding this enormous
student body through the ele-
mentary stages of lingering the
ivory keys are Sigmund Spaeth,
musician author lecturer, and Os-
bourne McConathy, noted music
educator. Spaeth directs the
Keys to Happiness" and Neon
athy the Music in the Air" pro-
grams.
No effort is made in these
classes to offer technical piano
playing. Instead, both Spaeth
and McConathy have adopted So
cially entertaining methods. The
radio instruction is designed to
take the students along to point
of development where, If desired,
they may consider the lessons as
a foundation for further inStruc-
ton.
Members of this large piano
class range in age from 8 to 80.
They live in every State in the
Union and represent nearly every
nationality. Their radio speaker
is the teacher, a chart the lesson,
their home piano the instrument
and their keen interest in quickly
and easily acquiring a foundation
of piano playing the inspiration.

1T is not as a Democrat but as

question of what Mr.. Baker wants

In 1917 Mr.. Baker prepared the
way to send two million over the
top. In 1882 his country needs him
again, and the man who sent the
others can not fail, in such time as
this, to answer that call himself -

NEW YORK, Dec. ia lead
ing Virginia newspaper friendly to
former Governor Harry Byrd,

ed that Newton D. Baker, secretary
of war in Woodrow Wilson's cabinet,
be nominated for the presidency.
The Richmond (Va) News-Lead-
er's strong Endorsement of the
Ohioan in the face of the Old
Dominion's strong friendship for
Byrd and sympathy with the forces
supporting Governor Franklin D.

Editor, Byrd's Friend
Byrd refused comment on the

that John Stewart Bryan, proprietor
and editor, was very good friend
of his.

nomination said in part:
For two years by the slow and
certain process of elimination one
man has emerged as pre-eminently
fitted to be the servant of the ma
ton at this time, and that man is
Newton D. Baker.
