Gardner and Lawson formed q quar-
tet with q couple Of other fellows At
Hampton and began singing Negro
spirituals around the country. They
got little jobs here and there, spots on
local programs. jobs on transforming
circuits, but they never could click on
big time, because they had no particu-
lar style.
They tried several arrangers, but
still they didn't 60 over. Then one
night, in . Harlem rehearsal hall, they
found Ford again. Their meeting was
really an accident. The boys were sing
ing upstairs and Ford was playing the
piano for . choir downstairs. The
choir leader sent him up to ask the
quartet upstairs to keep quiet, and
there were his old pals.

THE theory that . pianist is well OIL

disproved by the case of Yella Pessl,

Pessl goes to play her harpsichord
goes with her. even though It weighs
TOO pounds. Because of its weight she
is forced to express the instrument,
and whereas other artists spend their

Recognizing the importance of the
concerts to music lovers, WMAL, The
Stars radio station, has arranged to
broadcast a series Of programs for
the benefit of those unable to at
tend. NJ B. c. engineers, headed
by Donald Cooper. the networks
acting chief engineer in this area, have
been conducting exhaustive tests to
determine the most advantageous
placement Of microphones in the shell
that has been constructed on naval
barge anchored at the Water Gate.
Problems in insuring good transmis-
sion are multiplied because Of the loca-
tion. but N. B. c. is certain that re-
ception will be almost as satisfactory
as II the concerts were being picked
up from an auditorium.
Naturally, the restrictions imposed
upon air time allotments by previous
commercial commitments make it i'm
possible for WMAL to carry the COM
plete concerts. However, a full hour
has been cleared tonight between 8
and 10 o'clock, and it is expected that
q like period will be available for
succeeding broadcasts. That portion
Of the concert to be presented to radio
listeners includes the first perform
ances here Of Finckel's "Enchant-
ment" and Balendonck's procession
Of the Royal Scottish Guards" The
other selections are Moussorgsky's
"Chantr,lsse" and excerpts from Boris
Goudonoff," by the same composer.

What q Party!
ErcLdim Cats.

Red Wing-Little did one cat striding
down an alley think that in a moment
he, together with many, many cats
would be having a party. Mr.. Puss
strobe down the alley. The early morn
ing breezeS because the clock struck
three) ruffled his fur and made him
wish he was inside where it was warm
AS he walked along swishing mis- tail
and shifting the air he suddenly got
a Whit that made him tingle down TO
the end of his tail. He stopped and
shifted again. He was right the first
time. He followed his nose, it taking
him through the open rear dOo- of
store and right up to nice big box,
crammed with fish. It didn't take him
long to discover that the box was open
and to start helping himself. Other
night wandering felineS in the neigh
borhood must also have shifted the
fishy tang in the air, because before
long, cats of all sizes and shapes were
crowding on and around the box. Just
when the party was at its height, there
was heavy tread on the doorstep and
there stood a policeman. Some OF the
cats just automatically disappeared
while the officer had to use a little
extra persuasion on some of the others
to part them from their box Of treats.

Revocation of Drivers
Cards Doubled in 1887.

Out of a total of 1923 revocations of
drivers licenses in 1887, 1892 were lost
because of convictions on drunken
driving charges, according to the an
nual report of the drivers license unit
of the Minnesota Highway department
issued this week by Gil Carmichael, di-
rector
The total revocations are almost
double those of 1886, when 769 licenses
were taken away by the courts. Sus-
pensions during 1897 totaled 1872, as
compared to BIT in 1886. Speeding
reckless and careless driving, unsatiS-
fled judgments and failure to file proof
of financial responsibility accounted for
the majority of the suspensions, Car
michael's report revealed.
During the year the licenses of only
IA women were withdrawn as COM
pared to 1909 taken away from men.
The dangerous" age for drivers, which
follows closely a recently announced
national report, is from Is to Is years,
as AIT licenses were revoked that were
held by persons in that age bracket.
Hennepin county led the field with
800 revocations, Ramsey was next with
ga and St. Louis third with 1877, a ratio
comparable to the counties populations.
Three counties, Clearwater, Hubbard
and Murray, had no license revocationS.

thought that key tracts could be bought
for about $1,000,O0 Immediate effec-
tive control, the committee advised the
president, can be assured for 81 $50 1000,
including some tracts outside the Su-
perior National Forest purchase unit.
Inadequacy of existing forest service
funds for this purpose is stressed.
Defending the proposal of a treaty,
the committee stresses the international
character of the region, the extent to
which it would make available to
American tourists the more extensive
wilderness region across the border and
the value of an international joint ad-
visory board. Obstacles to the treaty
are acknowledged. It is predicted that
the interested private groups across
the border will fight to prevent favor
able action in Canada just as they
fought such action in this country
THE time seems ripe for setting a
precedent in international accord" the
report concludes. THE establishment
of such precedent depends largely on
the support of the administration. If
the full force of that support can be
exerted at the present time, the pros
poets for success are more favorable
than at any previous period" says the
report.

change from his regular mice diet
RanSford Barrus has projected the
theory that the cat saved the cash
register from greater loss than the
$2.75 taken by the providers. Every
morning when the store is first opened
the big cat begins clawing on the store
room door to get attention, and it is
possible that just about the time the
cash register was being pilfered Tom
made enough noise to unnerve the
robber who ran with only part of the
change in the drawer, scattering some
as he fled. II. is Toms habit to sleep
high on a crate that has been placed
near the heating fan for him. He may
have jumped down from there with a
thud when he heard someone in the
front room.

Girls Not to Stick
Tongues Out Again.

Canby-Five-year-o Frances Built
inck and siX-year-old Ruth Reihe are
not ever going to stick their tongues
out anymore not even for the
doctor when he wants them to say,
"Ah." 1t seems the little girls stuck
their tongues out one day last week
and it wasn't easy to get them back into
their mouths again. Ruth and Frances
had been coasting down hill on the
Jack Thompson farm, four and one-half
miles south of Candy and then walked
over to a creek nearby and stood on the
steel bridge looking down at the ice.
And then they stuck their tongues out
at the cold, steel bridge. Only for the
benefit of those who in their child
hood never sampled a grindstone or
doorknob on cold winters morning
to discover if it really had sweet
flavor, is it necessary to explain that
the girls tongues were instantly frozen
to the steel bridge. After long and pain
full moments, Frances succeeded in
freeing her tongue. Ruth's, however,
was stuck fast. A neighbor heard the
screams of the frightened children and
raced to their aid. BY pouring warm
water on the railing, he finally sue
ceeded in freeing Ruth.

ArnOIdy Renamed Head
of National Committee

The leadership Minnesota has shown
in traffic safety and its reduction in
highway fatalities in 1887 were cited as
the reasons for the reappointment Of
John P Arnoldy, chief of the model
Highway patrol of the Minnesota High
way department, to the Craftsmanship of
the enforcement committee of the
American Association of Motor Vehicle
Administrators, for the third consecu-
tive year.
Ray Ingels, president of the organi-
zation, in announcing the appointment
from his offices in Sacramento, Calf,
pointed out that enforcement of traffic
laws is big factor in preventing &C
cidents and injuries on the highway
and called on Chief Arnoldy to prepare

highway patrol and Minnesota safety
methods in an effort to arrive at a

neighbor. Mr.. HeSsel has an unusually
vicious gobbler which had to be locked
up because of its belligerent tactics
against visitors. 1t appears that a
hungry red fox, bent on getting good
meal, had gotten into the wire enclosure
which houses Mr.. Turkey. Although no
one had ringside seat, royal battle
evidently ensued. This was seen when
Mr.. HeSsel surveyed the battle ground
the next morning. There lay the dead
fox and in corner was the live gobbler,
bloody, bit groggy and minus few
tail feathers. In spite of all this the
proud turkey has now recovered. Far
mers in this locality have taken special
precautions to protect their poultry
flocks for chickens become easy prey
for foxes which are thought to be on
the increase.
