Richard Crooks will be heard in one of his final concert appear ances before beginning his vacation when he sings with a symphony or- chestra, conducted by Alfred Wal lenstein, over the NBC-Red Net work, Monday at 8:30 p. n1., EDST.

 When Margaret Speaks re- turned to her alma mater, Ohio
 State university, last week, some of the members of the varsity football team presented her with a big buckeye tree all packed for shipment to Miss Speaks farm i'm Westchester County, New York. "We didn't want Miss Speaks to forget that she still is Buckeye" explained the boys, land we thought this me-
 ment0 of the old home state would serve as a constant and living reminder" At 8 re- cent after-concert reception, an elderly lady told Richard Crooks that she had enjoyed his sing ing for the last 25 years. The
 other guests at the reception thought that the lady must have made some mistake, be- cause there is nothing in Crooks appearance to suggest the pOs- sibility of a quarter of a cen- tury before the public. The lady
 was quite right, however-she had heard the great tenor as a boy soprano of nine, when he was making his first public singing appearances in a church in Trenton, N. J.

SEEING IN THE DARK

\ When night falls, Death stalks
the unlighted American highway
The night driver has from four to
ten times as many accident-pro-
voking hazards to contend with as
the motorist who confines his use
Of the road to daytime travel.
Steering motor vehicle over a
dark highway, despite the low vol
ume Of traffic on the road after the
sun goes down, is AZ uncertain a
process as a roll Of the dice. It's
an extremely dangerous game in
which Life is always the stake ard
III which Death usually holds the
winning cards.
Twenty-three thousand eight
hundred or so per cent of the &c.
200 persons killed in traffic acct
dents last year met Death on the
highway after dark. The rapidity
Of modern, streamlined transporta-
ton has catapulted the American
highway user beyond the security
Az used to enjoy within the range
Of his headlights at a slower speed
and in less powerful vehicle. The
headlights of the 1888 model motor
vehicle are doing more than a good
JOB when they penetrate az much
AZ 200 feet Of darkness. If YOU
are driving at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, your motor vehicle
will cover those 200 feet in a little
under two seconds.
Not much chance in two seconds.
in that limited range Of visibility,
to clearly define the obstacle ahead,
to make up your mind what to %
tn avoid collision, To slam WI the
brakes, to swing your vehicle
around and beyond the hazard.
with Death chuckling up his sleeve
ait your frantic efforts. And, all
too often, that's the cha Of you.
except for the fact that you are
