 Dick Mansfield, who opens

 then Dick and his band have
 been heard via the alrwaves
 frequently.
 Ray Sinatra, the dynamic macs tro who was recently heard on NBC's Hit Parade" has two pros- pective sponsors nibbling on a new musical program on which the band plays for one-half hour without a stop. Commercial announcements will be made with a musical back ground, and vocalists will not have the names of their songs announced.
 Out of the 85 different per-
 sons who have portrayed roles
 in "O'NejIIs" during the past

 be heard for the 39th consecu-
 tive time this Sunday as Major
 B0wes' guest on the Capitol
 Hour, will also be heard as
 guest on two other programs
 during the ensuing week. Louise Massey of the Westerners, who is also the featured rhythm soloist on Ire Showboat series, is an excellent writer, and has had sev- eral short stories published in vari- ous magazines. It is interesting to note that although Miss Massey was born and raised in the West, and sings songs about the West, not single one of her stories has west ern background.

A lady of means gave a party
for her small daughter. She
invited all her friends children,
engaged a magician, a fortune
teller and a lady who knew
games.
To the party came the small
guests, accompanied by nurses
and governesses and chauffeurs.
The house was decorated In style.
Instead Of bouquets, scenes OF
nursery rhymes were placed here
and there. Humpty Dumpty sat
on his wall, and Boy Blue slept In
his haystack. Bo Peep tended her
sheep and Mary, Mary watered
the little Japanese garden.
The magician was late. And as
the youngsters waited about, the
small hostess brought downstairs,
a magazine with cut-outs. Also
her paper-doll family and some
scissors. The little girls squealed
with Joy and set to work to play.
In the meantime, the boys were
playing leap-frog and punching
each other to put In time. One
picked up Humpty, a camouflaged
football, and started to kick 1t.
His nurse saved the situation.
Magic of Childhood
Finally the fagician came and
the youngsters were rounded up
in half circle on the floor. But
the girls refused to give up the
dolls, and the boys continued to
whisper that when Bill got Bud
outside he would show him what
muscle meant.
The man was taking rabbits out
of silk hats and Matching goldfish
in his pockets; but the children
were only slightly interested.
These were very small children,
and as one thing in the world was
as much as miracle as another,
they were not impressed particu-
larry. Wasn't 1t magic to eat a
meal that seemed to come from
nowhere, or to see planes flying
like birds? Wasn't 1t magic to see
rabbits in a window or In an Eas-
ter Basket or just hopping about
a field? Or goldfish in a pool, or
anything at all anywhere? To
them the real thrill was what
they could make up in their own
minds. They greatly preferred
10 cut out dolls and give them
names and make them act as they
were told to.

spots. A few were fascinated, but
these were the older ones. The
fortune-teller was a flop. The fu-

QUICK, READER, JUST WHAT is

QU1Ck, hEADEh, JUST WHAT Is
FRESH AIR?
Even the doctors who prescribe 1t
scarcely know what 1t is, so you
needn't feel chagrined If you FUN
BILE this one. Fresh air Is like cli-
mate in this respect; 1t Is also like
the new model car; 1t is something
different from the kind you're
using. The prevailing idea of the
laity Is the belief that we doctors
cherished up to two decades ago,
namely, that the accumulation OF
carbon dioxide in the air and per-
haps other organic waste substances
given off by the lungs Of breathers
vitiates the air or makes 1t foul or
impure. On this idea was based all
OF our teachings in regard to VEN
tilation and securing fresh air and
purifying the air, a quarter of a
century ago. Ordinary air consists
of 70 parts nitrogen, 20.96 parts
oxygen and 0.04 parts carbon diox-
ide; analysis of this air when 1t Is
exhaled from the lungs shows 10
parts of nitrogen, 1902 parts of
oxygen and 4.38 parts of carbon
dioxide; 016 parts of oxygen being
used to oxidize. hydrogen to form
water, and some carbon dioxide
which Is eliminated through other
channels than the lungs.
Theoretically an atmosphere con-
tanning only is per cent of oxygen
and nearly 5 per cent Of carbon
dioxide would cause distress in
breathing. The great trouble with
us doctors yesterday was that we
INDUCED in too much theoretical
speculation and too little scientific
experimentation. Consequently we
accepted a lot Of plausible theories,
and we still cherish too many Of
them, that have never been con-
firmed or proved by actual expert
mcnt or test. One such theory that
Is still very ardently supported by
some of the doctors today, doctors
who purport to be the very voice Of
sciense, Is that certain drugs, poi
sons or even foods are absorbed
into the body through the unbroken
skin when applied In just the right
form and manner. Strange, how
some of us cling 80 obstinately to
this quaint and illusory fancy not
withstanding the failure Of every
conceivable and properly controlled
