sands of people who listen to his anna
teur hour each Sunday evening ought
to have the pleasure of meeting him,
for he is one of the most delightful
people on the air.
He is one of those charming, gentle
manly men who never push them
selves forward-so you can imagine
how he stood out when he was in
volved in the motion picture industry.
For years he presided over the des-
TIMES of the huge Capitol theater, in
New York. and all newspaper people
there who had anything to do with
the movies knew him. The genial Ma

as If he wanted to-not as If it were

Not that he wanted to steal it; he just
couldn't help himself. He'll be max

In the usual course of events his
party would have been mad scram-
Bile of Broadwayites and newspaper
men, many of whom would drink too
much. few of whom would know who
was giving the party, or care.
Bartlett asked his family and his
friends from his home town in Massa
chusetts. kilograms of congratulation
poured in in huge patches, of course
the ones he read aloud were not
from headliners, but from home town
folks whom his favorite guests would
know.
The lights went out, and big cake,
lighted with candles was brought in
and it developed that the day was his
sisters wedding anniversary, and that
she, not he, was the guest of honor.
They expect big things of Michael

coIors were born? The crimson by
which Harvard is known was officially
adopted in 1875, but it was the dis

years before that. In 1858 DR.. Charles
w. Eliot sought some means by which
the Harvard crew could be recognized
among the others at regatta. So he
went to store and bought a supply
of bandana handkerchiefs for the oars
men to tie over their heads. He could
have had almost any color, but he just
happened to like red.

NEW WORRIES FOR WHEAT
FARMERS

Something like an earthquake II
the agricultural balance of power
throughout the world is threatened
by Mussolini of Italy, and inquiries
are pouring in upon the Department
OF Agriculture from farmers of the
Wheat-growing districts throughout
the United States.
1t seems that Mussolini has been
working, through a staff of agricul-
tural experts, to produce improved
strains OF wheat. His objective was
to make Italy self-supporting as re-
CARDS breadstuffs. After ten years of
intensive effort, his scientists have
succeeded in creating a seed wheat
that is producing the unbelievable
yield of 131 bushels per acre.
Just what it means to grow l3I
bushels of wheat per acre of
ground may be imagined if one COM
pares this figure. with the average
yield in the United States of only
IA bushels per acre In other words,
Professor Mnssolini is showing Ital-
ian farmers how to get crop al
most ten times as great as that of
the average American wheat grow
er.
With these new wheats, Italy is
already self-suppOrting, and within
a year or two the existing wheat
farms of Italy seem destined to pro- |
duce a surplus that will wreck the /
agricultural statistics of the world.
Doubts as to the complete Verac-
ity Of the reports which have been
coming through to America regard
ing the Mussolini experiments have
just been set aside by the enterprise
Of an American farm journal, the
Country Home, which sent one of its
