Gas Users Set
New High Mark

The unusually cold weather that
has prevailed for the past month
will produce substantially higher
gas bills for those using gas or any
other form of fuel to heat their
hofes, it ia pointed out by Col. T.
A. Lessen, general manager of the
Metropolitan Utilities District.
Consumption af all types of
heating fuels is far above normal
for this time of the year, and gas
is no exception.
Col. Lessen reported the largest
gas consumption in the history of
he Utilities District. Average daily
consumption for the month of JAM
uary was 10,343,7 55 cubic feet. A
new all-time 24-hour record was
set at 7 o'clock Tuesday, Feb. 4,
when gas scndout totalled 1854
900 cubic feet.
January of this year was % per
cent colder than normal tempera-
ture in Omaha. 1t was 8 per cent
colder than last year and Sc per
cent colder than January, 1884.
Naturally" Col. Lessen explain
ed, that means it takes consider
ably more fuel to keep our home
warm and comfortable"
Weather records show that in
did not fal below zero once. In
January of last year there were
four days of below zero tempera-
lures, and this January, fourteen
days in which sub-zero readings
were recorded.

Restricted Songs Are Problem
Ban May Halt Breakfasts
of Conventions if Wrong
Tune Is Used.

A headache for network execu-
tives will be keeping restricted songs
of the air during national political
convention broadcasts. The Warner
Brothers ban remains as strict as
when instituted, so if some exuber-
ant delegates burst into a restricted
song the convention programs may
be cut off the air for a few mo-
ments.
Part of radios restricted music
difficulties was settled amicably
when the music arrangers', copyists
and proof-readers' strike against
music publishers ended. Hoping to
force publishers to agreement, the
strikers ordered union bands to re-
frain from playing music published
by firms With which the strikers
were at odds.
Staging Ed Wynns NBC- WEAF
(WLW) show at 730 each Tuesday
night is a problem for sound engi-
neers. Announcer McNamee,
trained in radio, controls his voice,
stands close to his microphone, while
Ed, who spent too many years on
the stage to acquire radio technique
shouts his lines, hops around all
over the studio stage and insists on
facing his audience.
Three microphones are used. one
in front of Graham, and two on
the comedians script stand Queer
ly, only one is connected, and this
one belongs to Graham. Eds voice
is so loud, the one mike serves fol
both broadcasters, and the other
two merely make the studio audience
feel that Ed is not being sighted
The connected microphone is sci
on rub5cr sponges, and not on the
floor. Because of Eds physical &C.
tivity which he considers necessary
to putting over a gag, and Ora
hams habit of occasionally stamp
ing his foot for emphasis, this pre-
caution is necessary. These jars
would go on the air as heavy booms
and would distort the performers
voices.

of his opera, 'Pelleas and Melisande, ,

podium, pick up pin he had no.
ticed and deposit it in a waste
basket"
Speaking of the music, Mr..
Schmitz said, "Debussy's music is
so subtle that most people don't
trouble to search for it's inner mean
ing. Time is proving that his de-
tractors were wrong. He is one of
the greatest of the moderns, and as
satirist, second to none"
UpbOlds Thesis
To uphold his thesis, Mr.. Schmitz
has selected the following works to
play and comment upon: THE
Children's Corner" made up of Or.
Gradus ad Parnassum," take-off
on Clements famous book of exer-
cises; THE Snow Is Dancing;
"Jimho's Lullaby" (Jimbo being a
little elephant, the son of jumbo !;
"Serenade for the DOLL; THE Little
Shepherd" and "Golliwog's Cake
Walk" The second half of the pro-
gram is to include the Interrupted
Serenade"; the Prelude from the
suite, Pour lie Piano." and General
Lavine-E Eccentric"
The program by Frank Black and
his string symphony orchestra to-
night offers an interesting group
of unfamiliar music. The list in
cludes the arioso from Bach's can
tata, Itch Steh' NIT einem Fuss in
GRADE; Zine Kleine Serenade, .
by Trunk; the "St. Paul Suite for
chamber orchestra, by Gustav Hoist,
and "Rumanian Dances" by Bar
tok. The broadcast is to be on the
NBS Blue network at s.
Like Schumann, Hoist was turned
by accident from piano playing to
composition. In HolSt's case, it was
an attack of neuritis during his
student days at the Royal College
of Music in London that ended his
ambitions in the field of concert
playing. However, there was an
interval in which he became a
symphony orchestra trombonist be-
fore giving his undivided attention
to creating music.
Bear Stamp of Folk Songs
1t would seem that either the
advance publicity has made a mis-
take In the title of Mr.. Bartok' S
composition, or else the famous
Hungarian nationalist has shifted
his allegiance to Rumania. How
ever, all his compositions thus far
have borne the stamp of his ma
tive folk songs. With the equally
well-known Hungarian composer,
zoltan Kodaly, Mr.. Bartok carried
on a prolonged and enthusiastic
research into the music of his own
people. The result was the re-
discovery, harmonization and pub
lication Of more than 1000 folk
tunes.
