After Dark
News and Comment of the Night Clubs
Mark Registered o. s. Patent once

There is in existence a saying, a
fine cliche of thing, which implies
that people can get used to any,
thing. Like most sayings of the
Aescpian vintage, it comes discon-
certingly close to being all-encom-
passing in its basic truth. But only
close. cts a snide rule that hath
no exception" A practice
which may be seen regularly in any
night club whose entertainment ap-
pears in radio broadcasts demon
strates the point conclusively.
Reference is made to the manner
in which applause is obtained, the
applause which greets a bands in
troductory theme on the air, its
sign-of and the completion of each
musical selection.
Every one knows the advantages
of the handclap-especially when
the band and the radio station have
an entire network before them. Even
if the broadcast is to be merely
local, that still leaves a sizable
number of people available to be
impressed. Regardless of the merit
of the entertainment itself, it is that
old applause at the point of origina-
ton which really builds up the
prestige.
Band leaders. announcers and
every one else concerned are pain
fully aware of the fact. They know
that when the public's loud speakers
say. From the Persian Tile Room
of the White Tower we present the
radio and recording orchestra of
Cassius Putrillo' there simply has
got to be storm of acclamation.
No sickly dribble of handbeats, with
whistle or two tossed in, but an
ovation the intensity of which Or
dinarily would be associated with
Churchill, Eisenhower or Macarthur.
Thus, if the band leader and the
announcer can find free hand
and they somehow always can
they assume the role of cheerleader.
Except that the process is not nearly
so passive as the phrase assuming
role" would imply. The boys wave
their arms, jump up and down,
beckon encouragingly to patrons on
the dance floor, clap their own hands
and do whatever else comes into
their minds to stimulate the patrons
properly at the cut points in the
broadcast.
You witness this little spectacle
week in, week out, year after year,
and still you can't suppress shiver
of discomfort every time it looms
before you. Vaguely you begin to
suspect that the listening public
is being insidiously denied its right
to look a gift band in the horn.
And you look again at the band
stand antics, and shiver.
The ex-half of the Mayfower's
publicity department, feeling SYM
pathetically about such stories
these days, submits the following:

forgotten those declarations he

man would term very active life"
He has taken up the cudgels for
public power in Nebraska-a con-
tinuation Of the fight he waged on
the national scene for so many
years. He has limited that he may

MORE PRESSURE ON

requested last Tuesday by several
local citizens to veto some of the
Waterbury bills that lie on his desk.
These bills provide salary increases
for the firemen and police; freezing
Purchasing Agent Martin Sweeney
into office for life, and replacing the
present five-man board of assessors
by three assessors appointed for
life.
Before this, Mayor John S. Mon
agan and his aides approached the
governor to do the same thing. The
people who visited him Tuesday
consisted of lawyers, manufacturers
and merchants.
The main purpose of the group,
according to reliable source, was
to request the governor to veto the
police and firemens pay increase
bill. These bills would make perm
anent the $300-a-year cost-of- living
bonus for all members Of the police
department and for privates in the

The intensified "war-in-t he-air"
accelerated by the daily air assaults
on the largest industrial sections of
Germany and Italy, brings in sharp
er focus the Importance of the pro-
duction of brass and copper in the
war effort. A squadron of so fight
or planes, for example, can shoot
over nine tons of brass during every
minute of actual combat With cop
per and brass absolutely essential
for modern warfare, the brass indus
try as a whole in this country has
been able to meet the needs of the
United Nations by more than doub-
ling its production since 1889. One
of the leading companies in the
industry, The American Brass COM
pany, subsidiary of Anaconda Cop
per Mining company, has been able
almost to triple its output of brass
and fabricated copper during the
same period.
An all-tIme production record was
set by The American Brass COM
pany during the first quarter of
1913. Its production of brass for
ammunition alone has increased
more than eighty times over its 1899
production total. For security rea-
sons, exact figures cannot be dis
closed now, but the copper content
Of brass needed for a years U s..
ammunition output is more than
the nations total copper conSump-
ton in 1929.
With stepped-up production of
brass for ammunition one big fac

years? H. D. Strunk, publisher Of
the McCook Daily Gazette, ex-
presses that feeling simply:
II have disagreed with Senator
Norris many times during the past
quarter century, but never have I
questioned his sincerity or his in
tentions . Which, I feel is only
natural among human beings. With
his broad background of expert
ence, with his knowledge of world
conditions, and under the stress the
world is now going through, 1t is
my opinion that he is In an even
better position to serve humanity
than he was in the United States
Senate.
why?
Because of his experience, his
intellect and the universal respect
which he has earned; the further
fact that he wears no mans collar
and is free to spend the remainder
Of his life in bringing about condi-
lions under which humanity may
live and progress"
