this was just another "lucky
brea,-." AS Armstrong writes:
Whatever it's good for.
and however long it will
live, swing music was born
in my country: it seeded
there in New Orleans ard
grew there, enc there t
got so hot 1t had to burst
out, and it did. and spread
to the world.
Tie path that swing followed
was the path that jazz had fol-
lov--1. for seq was the
first crude form of swing
the daddy of swing, and it
was "going places" until it
got all tangled up in "Tin
Pan Alley" and made for
tunes for men who couldn't
swing a jews harp.
Swing music differs from the
original New Orleans iczz in ner-
mitting frces improvisation and in
being moe refined and subtle
through classical infuerccs. jazz
began with this idea cf free M
provisation, but that idc" rot loT
when Jazz was written down. II
swinr music the player may have
a score in front of him. but he
knows when t. "swing" away
from it and when to come back
to it. In an orchestra the players
"all play together. picking up and
following each others SWINGING

l have been asked time and time
again about my idea of the posi-
bilities of television, and so will en-
deavor to answer a lot of questions
at once. In my mind, radio broad
casting is only one element. There
is television just around the cor
ner. To tell the truth, 1 believe that
television will be much bigger than
radio ever was. Naturally everyone
will want television set. The pub
lie will pay more than $50, 100000

should ever speak of a depression
anymore. Too many new cars, re-

ing purchased daily. And the fellow

entertainment. Furthermore, what
was an excellent set two years back
would be antiquated today. Thus,
we see that the radio apparatus
manufacturers will pay the whole
bill for the best of programs.
How can the extra space be pro-
vided, in addition to the present
broadcasting stations? ? The answer
appears to be given by offering the
ultra-wave lengths to the work.
The shortest assigned wave length
assigned to a commercial concern is
14.15 meters. Below this wave
length there are hundreds of chan
nels which could be utilized for
broadcasting pictures and pre-
grams, aeroplane beacons, etc. In
fact, between sc meters and 14.1S
meters (21, 900 to $4,000 kilocycles)
there are $3.50 channels, having .
separation of ten kilocycles. In
fact, every large town can have
more broadcasting stations than
there are now in the whole United
States. Don't let is worry you tho.
The first television receivers placed
on the market will, in all probabil-
ity, be only in the reach of the rich
est men, and a few years later,
children can save up their pennies,
and purchase one for their cave or
club house.

kowsky was casting about for some
other title than mo. 6" for the
symphony. His brother, Modesto
suggested Tragic" but Peter was
not satisfied.

come to a decision" the brother
wrote. Suddenly 1 thought, Pa

Surviving Twin Walked Back
ward But Will Learn to

Simplicio Godino, severed from
his Siamese twin brother after the
latter died of rheumatic fever in
New York City hospital, must learn
to walk again.
The 28-yea-old Filipinos were so
joined at the spine that one had to
walk backward, that one usually
was Simplicio.
The living twin, convalescing
from the operation which separated
him As mintes after his brother
Lucio's death, also can turn at will
Condition Favorable
During Lucio's illness, Sirnplicio
had to lie quietly beside him.
'"The condition of Simplicio God
inc is favorable" the Academy of
Medicine announced. Ellis wound
when dressed appears to be in fine
condition; pulse and temperature
normal"
A prediction that the twins might
be separated successfully was made
in 1920 by two physicians who ex-
amined them at the request of the
Brooklyn Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children.
They wrote in Surgery, Gyne-
cology, and Obstetrics:
eve feel convinced from our OBJ
servations of these boys that they
can be separated with relative ease,
the chief difficulty to be encounter
ed being centering in the attack on
sigimoids (the final flexures of the

Kansan, who was Republican candi-

Governor Sholtz telegraphed him
welcome, and offered "a suitable
escort, if you wish, and officers who
will be at your services to any ex-
tent desired"
Governor Landon answered, in
part: THANK you for your courteous
and gracious telegram. Appreciate
your offer of escort but doubt that
it is necessary. Governor Johnson
assured me last summer he would
arrange for the Colorado trout to be
around. If not too much trouble,
would appreciate your attention to
this little matter of proper reception
by the Florida bass"
Last summer, Governor Landon
made fishing trip to Colorado.

MARTIN MOORE'S DEATH
DATE SET FOR DEC. 18TH

The Supreme Court of North Car
DINA last week virtually doomed to
death in the lethal gas chamber on
December IL, Martin Moore, negro
convicted of Staying Miss Helen
Clevenger in an Asheville hotel
room last July.
The court ruled that Moore's mo-
ton for an appeal, presented by his
counsel, had been improperly pre-
sented, and that automatically fixed
his death date at "the third Friday
thereafter" as provided by State law.
