"As I told students of New

Intoxicating and utterly ex-

1t is anticipated. and rightly, that
one Of the major problems of the
forthcoming International Telecon1-
mmications Conference at Cairo, due
to start in February, will be the strug

democratic countries over the alloca-
ton and uses Of the international
wave lengths. Thus far. by reason OF
pre-emption and greater aggressive
ness, the dictator countries have had
the distinct edge in the battle OF
the ether"
A significant fact Is that Great Brit
ain, which started the whole trend
toward international aggrandizement
via radio five or six years ago when it
established its empire radio service on
= grand scale for broadcasts to its
colonies and dominions, only recently
decided to broadcast its news in
tongues other than English to combat
what the London Times described as
the oversupply of tortuous false
hood" broadcast from foreign stations
in many tongues.
GERMANY aims its broadcasts to-
ward Latin America in Spanish
English and French, as we'll as Ger

many wave lengths, often shutting out
British and American short waves, il
has succeeded in reaching not only its
own loyal expatriates but the rank
and file Of radio listeners there more
or less regularly. There are those who
believe this materially is affecting our
trade relations with countries which
comprise our natural sphere Of trade
The Italians have aimed their
broadcasts outward, also in foreign
languages, but apparently have not
created the same deep impression the
Germans have succeeded in creating
Their most provocative broadcasts
were the allegedly anti-British news
reports and comments directionalized
toward North Africa last year in re-
prlsal for sanctions over Ethiopia, but
since halted. The Russians have never
made any secret of their powerful
propaganda broadcasts in foreign Ian

Germany has sent some citizens to

grams and called it a day.
Today survey shows many other
things. For instance, it will show a
sponsor whether more people listen
to the first half of his half hour pro-
gram or the latter half 1t will show
whether this guest star means any,
thing to the audience or whether they
actually dislike the visiting fireman."
Most Illuminating of the recent sur
veys is the one which shows that the
female of The Song Shop" is the
most popular part of the program.
The program runs IS minutes. After
the station break at the end of half
hour, there is song or two and then
the finale, so that the finale runs in
the last 13 minutes of the program.
A survey made by Nationwide organ
ization proves that the last Is minutes
OF THE Song Shop meets with the
greatest popularity of the entire As
minutes.
There may be several reasons for
this. While the program is on the
air for the first half hour there is a
dramatic program opposite it. This
may draw part of the audience. And
then, the finales, as built by Producer
Walter Craig. generally in themselves
tell musical story, comprise tabloid
version of musical comedy, although
the songs are not all from one compos-
er's pen. There was an exception
when Stephen Fosters melodies were
offered by the various cast members,
but for the most part the finales deal
with songs related chiefly by sugges-
ton, by similar titles, by lyrics that
have much the same meanings.
The idea of the finale was used with
definite objective of building the
program to climax, and the survey
figures seem to indicate that it is
accomplishing its purpose.
The survey angle is being used by
sponsors of many programs. Often
when you read that certain singer
has been changed or a new announcer
used on a show you can be quite sure
that sponsor is paying attention to

Think Of the time, and not so long
ago at that when powder was either
a dead white or a deep pink and heavy

it's mission of "toning down shine"
Right through the ages women have
feared shiny nose. But 1t must have
showed up every little haw, wrinkle
and imperfection, since it seldom
matched the skin it covered. And 1t
must have clogged and enlarged ever
so many pores. Contrast that with
the special powder textures Of today,
prepared for either the dry or the oily
skin, powders that are fine and
powders that are superhne. And the
long line OF shades, ready-prepared or

Isn't life and beauty easier now?

Dorothy Dix Says
Humor and Praise Better Than Criticism
in Guiding Adolescent Son.

Of steadying and guiding him at the
most important crisis in his life, but
only too often do they estrange him
besides
So my first suggestion to the mother
with an adolescent son is to put on her
velvet gloves when she handles him.
Don't let him see that you are manag-
ing him. Suggest instead Of COM
manding. Quit treating him as If he
were child. Don't tell him to do this
and not to do that as you did when he
was 6 years old. Pretend that you
think that he is man and that he
will act like man, and the chances
are he will do 1t.
Just remember that he will never
be as old again, not even II he lives
a hundred years. When he is 10 he
will like to be called Johnny and to
boast of how young he Is but now you
must address him as Mr.. Smith and
not mention the youth of which he is
ashamed. He wants you to think he
Is very, very old and very. very blase.
And never, never, never be guilty Of
humiliating him by kissing him in
public, or making him go out with his
little sisters and brothers. That's a
degradation not to be borne.
4 X
WI out the QUESTIONABLE that the
adolescent boy considers such
reflection on his manhood. The Wisest
mother I know says that her tongue
is half inch shorter than it used to
be because she bit that much off of 1t
in keeping from asking her sons when
they were 18 and 10 where they were
going and what they were going to do.
Because, she said, if they were going
where they should not go they would
lie about it, and if they were going
where they should go it didn't make
any difference whether or not shs
knew about it. Initiate her example.
Don't get into a panic every time
your boy goes to see a girl. That's
the surest way to drive him into an
early marriage. Don't ridicule his taste
in dress and poke fun at his passionate
neckties and socks or his exaggerated
clothes. That is his strut to attract
the attention Of the girls who are just
as silly as he is.
Don't think he is lazy and no-oc-
count because you can't get him up in
the morning and because it wears you
out to try to get him to do chore
about the house. Don't take him too
seriously Few of the things that seem
| to mean so much in an adolescent boy
mean anything at all, except that he
is II.
Most important of all, pile on the
flattery. Your adolescent boy needs to
be encouraged, made sure of himself,
| instead of criticized and blamed.
Though he would die rather than
acknowledge it, he values the praise
| Of his family above all else.

Manners
of the
Moment

LAVE you ever noticed how ofhcious
some persons get when they are
In foreign restaurant? They like to
pretend that they know what is the
real thing. You take people who
have been to Mexico-or even Just to
California-and you can't hold them
IN Mexican restaurant. They start
telling the pretty Mexican girl who
waits on the table just exactly how
to make a real Mexican tamale. And
they grow obnoxious if they don't get
a tamale just like the one they ate
In Aqua Caliente once.
It's the same way with the man who
used to know Chinese chap in COL
lege. He's incorrigible in chop suey
restaurant. He knows it all. The rice
isn't right, and the way it's served
Isn't right, and there's some dish
which the waiter can't seem to recog-
nize from his description, which only
proves that the waiter is a Russian
instead OF the Chinese that he ought
to be.
Personally we think world travellers
should learn to take their local foreign
restaurants quietly and with gratitude.
But until they do, we advise their
friends to steer them into steak din
ners. It's much safer. JEAN.

THIRD, we approved a new kind of
short appetizer cracker-excellent
with the tart beverage or cocktail,
which resembles small puff ball in
appearance and tastes like an espe-
cially good Scotch short bread. These

one doesn't eat the name, and their
looks and flavor are very decidedly on
the attractive side!
FOURTH, having been pretty much
opposed all my life to canned

covered new variety that really does
taste like fresh fruit and is put up in

problem for the emergency meal or
for unexpected guests.

apricots are large and picked whole,
with the stones left in. The sirup
is nicely favored and is sharp enough
to be a splendid foil for a mild-fla-
vored meat.
CIXTH is wee bottle containing
gentle looking liquid, which turned
out to be garlic juice. II you like
your garlic in a fairly mild form, and
don't want the reek of the real Mccoy
romping through the halls when your
guests come to dinner, try the bottled
variety, for it is practically odorless
and gives delightful SAVIOR to various
dishes when used according to di-
rections. Onion juice has been a
standby in the kitchen for some time
now, permitting cooks to season their
dishes without crying their eyes out,
but the garlic essence is new-at least
to me-and think bids fair to become
as great favorite as its older brother.
CEVENTH and last-but by no means
least-comes an item that will be
irresistible to those who remember
their childhood and that china box
kept on the whatnot in grandma's
parlor that was always mysteriously
full of tiny, pink-striped peppermint
drops, whenever you came to visit!
The spicy odor that met childish
noses when the lid was lifted will
always bring back the good old days"
with surprising clarity. So If you
want to indulge in little sentimental
day dreaming, go and buy yourself
some Of these self-same pink-and-whit
candy drops that may be had right
here in this oh, so modern Washing
ton. And If you don't drop years of
your shoulders with the first nibble-
then you must have lost your streak
of sentiment completely!

To Prevent Soda Taste.

The soda taste commonly found in
foods in which that leavening agent IS
used is often the result of the use OF
too much soda or the fact that it is
not properly mixed with the other in

dissolved in a small amount of liquid
called for in the recipe. Or it may be
thoroughly stirred into the rest Of the

to the liquids.

She Is passing through an experience

he reverts again to the wild.
Hence, about all the advice you can
give the mother of an adoleScent son
is to bid her pray for patience and
cultivate her funny bone, for this
afliction will pass. Johnny will grow
up into being John. His voice will
settle down to its destined register.
Instead of landing in jail or the insane
asylum he will adorn some doctors or

mothers salvation, as well as the boys,
depends upon her being able to laugh
off his youthful follies instead of
making tragedies out of them.

NOW. no one will contend that an
adolescent boy is easy to get along
with. On the contrary, he is about as
pleasant a companion as fretful por-
cupine. He bristles with feelings. He
is abnormally vain and self-conscious
He is as full of foolish notions as an
egg is Of meat. And he is so drunk
with his first draught OF freedom that
he resents the slightest suggestion OF
control.
His case should be treated with as
much finesse as if it were a League
OF Nations problem. But, alas, few
parents waste diplomacy upon thelr
children. So Johnny and father and
