DEFORE you take any prepare
- ton you don't know all about,
for the relief OF headaches; or the
pains Of rheumatism. neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it - in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands OF people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without i'll effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
OF headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly. II
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store - simply by never
asking for ii by the name aspirin"
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

In the United States, it is estimat-
ed that $4,000 schools are now
equipped with radios, the classroom
audience including up to 10000, 900
listeners. Varying programs and vari-
GUS schedules are offered in this coun-

radio schools offered here are the

various other features, both network
and local, that are also offered via

Radio Courses Lacking.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

OVERLOOKED by most educators
engaged in the training of youth
for professional careers is the radio
field, which is not only flourishing
one today but which undoubtedly
will offer future opportunities for
young men and women in its various
branches-engineerin and executive,
as well as artistic. Except for their
courses in electrical engineering,
very few colleges and universities are
today offering courses designed to
develop personnel for radio as
profession.
The radio industry embraces sew
eral totally variant branches. 1t is
young. small and highly specialized.
The young person wanting to enter it
today usually finds himself baked by
lack of experience-yet the means of
gaining that experience, by scholastic
training or actual employment. are
very limited And a choice must be
made at the outset whether he pre-
fers to enter the technical. the manu-
featuring, the performing or the
broadcast sales, executive or pro-
gramming branches.
Hence a book like Zeh Bouck's
Making Living in Radio" just
published by the McGraw-Hill Book
Co., New York, assumes considerable
Importance as a guide to young
people intrigued by the prospect of
radio career. 1t is the first book of
its sort ever written-and in a sense
it fills gap which Americal colleges
and universities have yet to fill more
thoroughly. Mr.. Bouck's statistical
summaries. sometimes incomplete, are
not too encouraging as to the OPEN
ings in radio-but the fact always
remains that the capable and am
bilious can usually find places for
themselves in any field.
Conditions, Mr.. Bouck points out,
are probably at their worst where
they have been considered best-in
the chronological subfields such as
Servicing, operating and engineering.
First, consider the radio set manu-
featuring industry, which, except for
a few executive engineering posts,
employs relatively cheap labor. It
employs about $4,000 persons in the
United States, and today is at its
peak of employment because of the
current flourishing market for radio.
Then consider the field for service
men, who repair radios-but who
more often advise you to buy a new
one! Mr.. Bouck estimates there is
room for about 10000 service men,
although perhaps 10000 are now try
ing to make living at it and about
10000 call themselves radio service
men.
Next there IS autobiography,
which is taught in many schools be-
cause it Is not unlike wire telegraphy
Mr.. Bouck quotes Government figures
to show there are approximately
10000 licensed commercial operators,
working in land stations or on ships,
but the American Radio Telegraphists
Association reports that 5000 OF
these are out of jobs. Their average
pay is about $40 per month without
board Or lodging.

evenings. But the majority Of the
big shows have already bowed in for
the season-and so we have a chance
to sit back and add up what the
broadcasters have brought in in the
way Of new personalities. And it won't
prove to be problem in advanced
arithmetic, either-you can add up
the new voices on the fingers of one
hand.
A COUPLE Of months ago the press
agents were busy loosing a flood
OF highly decorative photographs and
enthusiastic prophecies about dozens
of new radio stars. But already the
majority have slipped into Obscurity
or complete Silence-a few have
been signed up for sustaining (non-
commercially programs-and who do
you have left? Well, chalk up i'm
pressive new contracts TO the credit
of those two young dramatic actresses,
Betty Lou GerSon, 2l-year-Old who
replaced June Meredith as leading
lady on the First Nighter show last
week. and who continues on Edgar
Guests Welcome Valley sketches,
and another Betty, Miss Winkler, Of
the cast of Grand Hotel and that
afternoon serial, Girl Alone" Both
are strictly radio personalities.
OF the two outstanding new musical
artists only one is a microphone
product. She is Deane Janis, who
made the jump from a fashion model
to singing star with Walter OKeefe
and the Casa Iona Orchestra in a
few short months. The only other
radio find of the season, Niela
Goodelle, made her first hit on the
stage. twice jumping into starring
roles in the "Follies.' to pinch-hit
for Ruth Etting, the first time. and
last year for Jane Froman when she
left for Hollywood.
A MOTHER new star may be on the
radio horizon. But its too early
to say more than that Wlnifred Cecil,
new member of Show Boats cast, has
pleasing voice in the Virginia Lee
role, which has replaced the Mary Lou
character. She has been given no
contract. as yet, although it is a cer-
tainty that the new soprano role re.
placing Muriel Wilson is TO be q
permanent feature.
Miss Wilson's departure, by the way,
meant the forced departure of an
other member of the cast She is
Rosaline Greene. who spoke the lines
of the character and whose voice
became so thoroughly identified with
them that she was not allowed TO re-
main to voice the new singers dra.
matte lines. Miss Greene is not q
member of the unemployed by any
means, though, for she continues to
be heard over WOR in her program
of current events for women.
COLUMBIA'S comely young soprano,
Mary Eastman, has new con-
tract and new acquisition for her
aquarium-some rare SiameSe fighting
fish. She's on c. B. S. these Friday
nights at l0:45. Meanwhile, nothing
but silence is heard about the outcome
of her addition for the Metropolitan.
But films have been looking over the
broWn-eyed songster.

RaQReJ LAaC cOulQ PLUCK voices out OF

entertainment business.
And that's all very well. There is,
of course, no doubt that broadcasting
has made some miraculous history.
And there's no doubt either, that
radio will make some even more spec
tacular history-what with television
sitting out on the doorstep right at
the moment.
But meanwhile, somewhere on

this current season should stand out
as one of the most significant in
radios history.
FOR the first time really good music
and really intelligent comedy and
drama is the rule-not the exception

year in which the sponsors quite
frankly have begun to label their shows

has made-radio still falls short in at
least one regard. 1t continues to suffer
! from a talent shortage-a shortage

in the recent liner Bremen incident.
The magistrate, in a lengthy deci-

ing which the Nazi flag was ripped
from the Bremen's mast. He said:
"It may well be, as was so forcibly
urged on me in an attempted exculpa-
tion>of the tearing down Of the stand
ard bearing the swastika from the
masthead of the Bremen that the fly
ing of this emblem In New York Har-
Dor was, rightly or wrongly, regarded
by these defendants and others Of
our citizenry as a gratuitously brazen
Haunting of an emblem that symbol
ICES all that is anti-thetical to Ameri-
can ideals of the God given and in
alienable rights Of all people to life
liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
that in their minds this emblem Of
the Nazi reign stands for and repre-
sents war on religious freedom"
He then remarked that "in large

marked the sailing Of the liner were

Eight hundred Kentucky National

government in the town of Wallin
and patroled voting places over the
county in the Democratic run-of pri-

leling a similar occurrance in the
first primary August 3, which Is still
reverberating in the courts, and q
bitter personal fight between Thomas

overshadowed all other aspects of the
primary.
Gov. Ruby Laffoon. whose admin
istration is backing the candidacy OF
Rhea. specified in his executive order
directing troops to Harlan that they
should not interfere in the voting.
The guardsmen, he ordered, were to
keep the peace and protect "consti-

Governor expressed fear of possible
mob violence over the dynamite kill
