However. patience has its reward,
for as the lecturer was entering her

invited me to guide them through the

had many such pleasant trips"
These experiences, she thinks, gave
her the courage to enter the radio

director requested Miss Drake to
broadcast regularly. talks on Art In

GONE years before his death, in
l845, Gaetano Carusi presented a
claim 10 Congress in which he set
forth certain facts in connection with
his joining the band and his subse-
quent service in the corps. and as
suming his statements to be true he
was certainly given raw deal. When
the band came to Washington, he
said, the members were lily housed,
had to cut their own wood, dig
trenches, cut ice on the river and
haul it to the quarters, sweep the
loor and perform every military duty.
and the leader had to instruct the
musicians at least twice a day.
This very interesting bit OF military
history covers about l6 octave pages,
set in small type and concludes as
follows:
This narrative is a shadow of what
befell me, and if proof be wanting IN
veriflcation of what have said there
is enough in existence: the most pow
erful, however, is the testimony Of
those who were with me during a
part of my suffering and who are
at this moment residing in Sicily.

Science Aids Machine.

MECHANICAL experts perfect la
bor-saving and speedier methods,
but sometimes scientists are forced to
step in and solve the problems new
processes raise.
For instance, a machine has been
perfected for the extraction OF seeds
from tomatoes. 1t offers a better
method than the old under which the
fruit were permitted to ferment. Un-
fortunately, seed so obtained produced
plants which were subject to canker.
Dr. H. L. Blood of the United States
Department Of Agriculture decided
that something in the fermentation
process killed the canker organism.
He found the fermented pulp con-
tained acetic and Tactic acids. and
then that solutions of these acids con-
troll the canker organism on even

spoke thusly of the President: He Is

The press certainly was against Mr.
Roosevelt. Out in Kentucky, "Marse
Henry" Watterson cut loose with this
"simplified" paragraph:
Nothing escapes Mr. Roosevelt. No

tu 10 fr him to notis. He makes

his approval, and fales to sc those that

will reform the spelling in way to

And so it was, all around the land
and part way around the world.
BY the time the Supreme Court
went into sessions following the vaca-
ton period, the whole affair was at
white heat. And it was somewhat to
be expected that the prime tribunal
would be drawn into the general
melee Expectations were fulfilled.
The Chief Justice communicated
with the solicitor general, citing the
action Of the President and declaring
that citation OF earlier decisions would
not permit use of the simplif1ed SPELL
ing because citations which made use
of that spelling would not be the
literal quotations which the law de-
mandS.
THUS the court was quietly and In
\ thoroughly effective way placed
at odds with the Presidents idea.
1t remained for the Congress to as
semble in December, 1906, for the
rumpus to break out without restraint.
The Congressional Record for that
session presents a great mass OF words
showing the extent to which the White
House and the Capitol were antagonis-
tic on this issue"
The President at that time had been
in ONCE approximately five years. He
had built up tremendous popular
backing. He had used the big stick"
in powerful manner. And there were
many at the Capitol who were willing,
to put the matter mildly, for his sue
cesses to be punctuated with an out
right defeat. Such as these saw the
"simplified spelling order" as a vehicle
bringing great opportunity to them.
For once, they reasoned, the President
is not on the popular side Of an issue.
So, when Mr.. Roosevelt sent his
message to Congress on December 3,
1905, in the unorthodox spelling, the
battle was on in earnest. The public
printer was called before . House
committee and was grilled by members

absence of economy in the plan.
Champ Clark, Missouri's legislative
notable Of that era. expanded on the
subject and reached this climax:
Before very long the people Of the
United States are going to insist on
having a President who will attend
strictly to his constitutional functions
and expend his energies only on sub
jects of great pith and moment"
More than three months had elapsed
between issuance of the Presidents 5

finally presented itself.
THERE was not even enough pa
tience to permit the framing 81
special legislation dealing directly with
the issue An attempt was made ~
tack the following rider" on the frs
appropriation bill to enter the legis-
lative machinery:
In printing documents authorized
by law or ordered by Congress the
Government Printing Once shall fol !
low the rules Of orthography estab-
lished by Webster's or other generally
accepted dictionaries Of the English
language"
But parliamentary objections to that
procedure arose, and it then becane|
evident that even the first expressl0n|
of congressional disapproval would
have to take more formal and def !
mite form.
A speedily contrived resolution con
veying the rebuke was passed by the|
Hoase. with 142 members voting for|
it and only "a voting in opposition
The next day the following and more
clearly defined resolution was adopted
without dissenting vote:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of the|
House of Representatives that here
after. in printing reports, documents
or other publications authorized bv|
law, ordered by Congress or eitherI
branch thereof, or emanating from the|
executive departments, their bureaus|
or branches. and independent ofices Of
the Government. the Government
Printing Office should observe and
adhere to the standard of orthograph- 4
prescribed in generally accepted die !
tionaries of the English language"
That same day the President with
drew the order he had issued to tho
public printer.
And so ended one passage OF arms
between branches of our Federal Cow
ernment. History books and off1cial1'
records hold the details OF many such
official battlings, but none ever cen]
tered in less provocative subject than
the spelling OF 4 double handful Of

OF a great miracle
Grant that my thought may utno its

Let the spoken 1rord
Make real a sense OF beauty

In the hearts of those uho listen.
TH1S is the prayer that Alice
Hutchins Drake, Washington's
pioneer woman radio lecturer,
Il has sent over the air weekly
for 13 years, "l3 lucky years." she
believes.
Now that the National Broadcasting
Co. has moved into new headquarters
in the Trans-Lux Building, Miss Drake
will resume her weekly programs,
Little Talks on Large Topics" These
l3 years" she said, have been rich
in opportunity. I have learned that
a mere turn Of the dial makes the
whole world kin or sets them IN a
dither"
Needless to say, Miss Drake writes
her own script, using about 2,250 words
on each program. She holds record
Of having written and sent over the
air more than million words. This"
she modestly said, Il was informed IN
New York, gives our station IN the
Capital the greatest wordage on cul-
tural subjects, Of any station In the
country"
When asked how she arranges her
programs the lecturer explained: THE
elements Of timeliness usually govern
my subjects for broadcasting Then

listen for sentence construction, and
others, correct use Of words-especially
descriptive words. which mean word
