IA Corner about "Chicago,s Big

was q general interest in the

His physical presence at Senate ses-
sions all the time Is not necessary. As
q matter of fact, no Vice President has
ever attempted it. For one thing, he
can do nothing but sit and listen. The
only time he speaks is when he rules
on some point of parliamentary pro-
cedure.
So, usually the Vice President desig-
mates some Senator to occupy the chair
when he Is tired. Sometimes as many
as half a dozen Senators will preside
during one afternoon.
If the necessity for his presence IN
the chamber arises, he is always ava l.

its superiority By maintaining speeds eight

Ed Wynn Tops
All, Survey
Reveals
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Here's something to put down
in the book-something a lot of
us never knew till now!
The Arnold Research Service
of New York, determining to
find out the real facts" of ra-
dos pulling power, made num-
ber of startling discoveries.
The investigators found that Ed
Wynn topped all entertainers by
"a per cent of listeners.
The highest percentage of ra,
dios in use for the hours chosen
was So per cent, the time being
$50 on Tuesday evening.
Average of radios in use from 7
to and from 9 to 10 p. m. was
38 per cent.
Most disturbing to the broad
casting industry and those manu-
facturers to plug their wares
over the ether is the assertion
that the survey shows As per cent
of the listeners did not recognize
the companies sponsoring the
programs!
Which, as the estimable Sam,
uel Pepys, Esq, would aver, is
very strange.
