ToUse Radio
In Racket
Drive
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

The Better Business Bureau of
Washington, with Lou Rothschild
at the helm, has decided to
adopt new tactics in educating
people who insist on losing their
money in fly.by-night schemes.
Rothschild, who has used the
radio for many a day in his cam.
paign against blue-sky sharks and
stock racketeers, has enlisted the
aid Of the Northern Dramatic
Company in his drive to cut down
the nations quota of suckers.
On the night of October 9 the
dramatic ensemble will play The
Tipster Racket" over VOL. If
this playlet meets with success,
says Rothschild, series of
dramas exposing various finan-
cial schemes will be be given
over the air.

WhistIing Morons

He's the only man alive, / be-
feve, this Robert Hunter Mac
Gimsey, who can whistle three
notes at once, and doubtless
you've heard him on the N.B.C.
waves and marveled. That's why
he's champion whistler of the
world, besides being an attorney,
q political economist, financier,
and cOttOn-planter.
So it If easily imagined how he
felt wheI he read yesterday the
published treatise by Prof.
Charles G. Shaw, of New York
University, in which the learned
gentleman proclaimed all persons
who whistle to be mOr0ns.

''an ordinary whistler is moron,
what does that make a chap who
