There was a patter of feet from
within the ranchhouse and a wrin-

The Chinaman shuffled off, his
slippers slapping at his heels. Short
ly after Tex Whipple climbed the
slope and took a chair beside Dele
van.
"Whipple,' said Delevan, "Yuh

"Shore, I'll get him busy"
It lacked an hour of midnight
when Tex and Johnny rode up tt
Skeleton Springs. For the last five
or six miles a pale moon had easee
their trail somewhat. A mammoth
hush lay over the Kanab Desert,
stiffness so potent and impressive
that Johnny was moved to remarl
about it. He and Tex had dis

drinking thief unsaddled and staked
the animals out. Then they lay
down on the warm sands and dozed
through the slow hours to the first
break of dawn. A meager breakfast
was cooked over the acrid flames
of a handful of CROSSWORD twigs,
then the saddles were slung and the
horses were given a final drink.

Greece to Have Stations.

A NCIENT Greece, still without a
radio station, and old Carthage,
which has quite loud voice" at
Tunis, are at last awakening to the
modern idea and want to take their
place in the broadcasting sun.
Greece. according to reports from
Europe, has decided to build a 5000
watt station in Athens and one Of
$500 watts in Salonica to be ready
by next Winter, with government
plans also under way for a station in
Corfu. Later it is proposed to in
crease radio Athens to 100000 watts
and Salonica to 10000 with short
wave adjuncts that will carry their
programs throughout the world and
possibly regain some of the glory that
was Greece.
The station in Carthage Is being
projected as rival to the other pow
erful stations in North Africa, which
have large European audiences, lead
ing a British observer to remark that
if the new station is powerful enough
it may lead to a new Punic war of
type undreamt of by Hannibal and

the radio personality Of
Gov. Landon and Col Knox,
as manifest by their recent acceptance
speech broadcasts, which were carried
by combined hookups over the length
and breadth of the land. The sub
ject. nevertheless, continues to pro-
woke widespread discussion among ex-
perts and otherwise, usually on the
premise that the radio styles of the
presidential candidates will inevitably
bear weight on the outcome of the
political campaign now under way.
Individual comment on Landon's
radio manner heard by this writer for
the most part was not very enthusi-
astic, though it was agreed that he
has improved somewhat over his
former style-possibly thanks to the
coaching given him by the expert sent
to Topeka by Hill Blackett, G. o. P.
radio director. Press comment ranged
from enthusiasm to disappointment,
though reactions to the press views
must be tempered by the fact that
special writer's and newspaper policies
very often have definite political lean

who are going to rely heavily on
radio in their campaigning, most of
the press is anti-New Deal and Demo-
cratic radio chiefs make no secret of
the elation over Gov. Lapdon's short
comings on the air, as compared to
Mr.. Roosevelts usually intimate style
Of broadcasting.
Mrs. Jane Dorsey Zimmerman of
the department of speech at Columbia
University, who in an interview with
the anti-New Deal New York Sun
some months ago marked the disap-
pearance of the "fireside quality"
from President Roosevelt's voice, in
the same newspaper last week de-
clared the tinbre Of Gov. Landon's
voice is definitely improving in modu-
lation and pitch. She maintains that
the radio voice of Gov. Landon has
improved parallel to the decline in the
quality of President Roosevelts de-
livery.
The New York Times correspondent
at Topeka, writing on Gov. Landon's
acceptance address from the spot,
noted his lack of gestures and tricks
of the orator, his rapid speech and
slurring Of words and, despite his
coaching, his failure to time his
pauses for applause. He seemed to
improve, however, as he went along,
asserted this writer, apparently
warmed by the friendliness Of the
crowd, ''but there still seemed good
cause for the worry that exists among
his friends that he may not register
on the radio" This writer added that
there is no question but that he has
improved and that the lessons given
him since last January have helped.
The syndicate writer. David Law
renee, also found Gov Landon i'm
proved, but reported hearing numerous
criticisms of his radio delivery. "The
Governor" he reported, was said to
have failed to enunciate words clearly,
rather sliding over important syl-
lables." On the other hand, MIR. Law

declared Gov, Landon's delivery has
improved 100 per cent. Yet that Of
fetal found him far from the finished
radio speaker that President Roose-
welt is.
Raymond Clapper, the Scripps-
Howard newspaper writer, warned
that Gov. Landon faces two formid-
able opponents in this campaign
Roosevelt and the radio He charac-
terized Landon's voice as horse and
buggy" and said the Republican cam
didate seems destined to be an espe-
cial victim of the radio. His ac-
ceptance speech, as it came over the
air." wrote Clapper, left an unfa-
vorable impression. The reading was
jumpy, obscuring his meaning. Sem
tences ran together without emphasis
to bring out the key phrases. Deliv-
cry was halting, as if the speaker were
schoolboy unfamiliar with his read
ing lesson.
Nothing in the delivery Of the
speech gave the listener the feeling

negative impression"
Thus the comments ran, arousing
both hope and despair in the breasts
of the Republican radio chieftains.
Mrs. zimmerman's comments to the
New York Sun interviewer was de-
signed to arouse the greatest hope,
for she made comparisons based on
hearing both the candidates several
times and making recordings of their
speeches. She freely admitted that
President Roosevelt is the better
speaker. but found much at fault in his
Philadelphia acceptance address, due,
perhaps, she said, to the fact that
"he forgot the microphone and was
speaking directly to the audience in
