surprise - no. his shock when he discovered that
his hero was misshapen, hunchbacked little man.
But his dismay was only momentary, for there was
that fine mind, that inspiring personality.
Steinmetz got him job as craftsman. The boy
was tremendously pleased Now and then he could
catch glimpse of the great man. The engineering
famous of the land came to talk to Steinmetz; the
boy caught gmpses of them; he worked on, just one
among dozens in the drafting room. And now his
name: Ernst Frederik Werner Alexanderson.
+ MALLY he was given the chance to work on
high Frequency alternator." Radio. at this time
was matter of dots and dashes. He worked OBJ
scurely for two years, during which many models
were constructed. Finally he delivered practical
alternator which was well thought of that it was
installed at Brant Rock, Massachusetts, On Christ
mas Eve, 1906, something remarkable happened
something that affects you today. The first broad
cast in history was made quote from book by
Alvin F. Harlow entitled Old Wires and New Waves:
Early that evening wireless operators on ships
within radius of several hundred miles sprang to
attention as they caught the call co. GO in the
Morse CODE Was it ship in distress? They listened
eagerly and, to their amazement, heard human
voice coming from their instruments - someone
speaking! Then woman's voice singing. 1t was un-
canny! Many of them called to officers to come and
listen; soon the wireless rooms were crowded. Next
someone was heard reading poem then man
made speech; they could catch the exact words
Thus the first broadcast in history was put on
1t was not long before the Alexanderson alter
nator, as it was now called became famous He
became famous too. Lots of degrees Lots of public
dinners to dodge Alexanderson has become the
american father of radio" and has taken his place
alongside Stenmetz. Today he has 273 patents and
is honored the world around. Not so bad for some
one who was content to play second fiddle when it
had to be played.
In Gushing Academy, Massachusetts,, girl
that no one paid much attention to. Her name was
Ruth Elizabeth Davis. Hard times were at her door
and she was forced to wait on table to help pay her
school expenses. But often matters have way of
working out as they should. She took up dramatics,
got to be right good at it. Ruth Elizabeth seemed
pretty long for name, so she changed it to Bette
She's no longer second fiddle now; just about the
whole orchestra.
l could tell you of another miss who had to play
second fiddle, this time in Birmingham, England.
She was hired as governess by secondhand cloth
ing dealer who had six children But that turned
out all right, too. That was Madeleine Carroll.
And 50 it goes. The second fiddle has to be played
by someone. The thing is to keep playing, knowing
that the person at first fiddle probably once played
where you are playing. And knowing that someday,
in some way not yet exposed to you. you may be
promoted to first fiddle.
So play on and make as good music as you can.

STYLE NOTE. Leonebel Jacobs, one of the
important portrait painters of this country,
recently visited the jewelry exhibit at the
Metropolitan Museum and, when she was 60
ing down the steps, the curator called to her:
Where did you get that hat?'
Lilly Dache did the hat, and then put
the headdress of a Manchu princess over the
crown"
Its too valuable to carry around on your
head" said the curator, but after thousand
years it seems still in STYLE"
The headdress was given to her by the aunt
of the former Emperor of China.
FORESIGHT. Alfred Noyes, distinguished
English author, had one of the most beautiful
homes in the Isle of Wight Admiral Jellico

she was over eighty at the time - was looking
out her window and saw MIR. Noyes planting
a small Chinese cedar - slow-growing tree
by pool in his garden She telephoned to
Mr. Noyes and requested that he remove the
tree because it would interfere with her view
of the channel.
He told her that the tree would never grow
tall and would probably take twenty years to
grow ten feet Undaunted, the sturdy old lady
still objected, insisting that it might then
obstruct her view!
Meanwhile, war has stepped in and settled
the argument. Nazi bombers have spoiled

Without taking his eyes from Ben
ming, Bravot slowly opened a drawer
of his desk and brought out an auto
matte pistol.
AS he leVeled the weapon across
the desk Bravot's left hand went to
a call button which sent a rasping
summons into the outer office. Old
fer came in at once.
1--WE have had a close call, Old
fer" Bravot said. He passed his
left hand across his forehead, now
wet with perspiration. This man
is an Army Intelligence agent who
shot at me once, and whom stu
pidly overlooked in Mexico due to
my preoccupation with other mat
ters."
Benning heard the outer door
open. Oldfer, terror leaping into his
little eyes, jumped across the room
and slammed BraVot's door. Ben
ming sprang to his feet, but the ape
like arms of Backropp were about
him in an instant with all the crush
ing force of motor-driven prongs. A
ponderous hand closed over Ben
ning's mouth and shut off articula-
ton.
Benning felt himself lifted clear
Of the floor by a strength against
which his own sinews were power
less. Backropp carried him across
the room to the BraVot concrete
vault that lay open behind heavy
steel doors. The ape-man hurled him
inside with a stunning violence and
heaved the doors shut.
Benning picked himself up and
shook his head TO clear his wits from
the shock Of his fall. Only the habit
Of sef-discipline saved him from
panic as he found himself engulfed
in this black, steel-encased void. He
heard the vague click Of bolts as the
door was locked, then silence.
He felt about the interior OF his
prison and estimated its dimensions
as some six feet wide by ten feet
in depth.
He knew that rescue depended
largely upon that phosgene cigarette

Salvatore strobe into the room, an

recognition, Benning's startled mind
