 On a modern sea voyage, say coming home from England, you can take of in the afternoon and have Breakfast in New York or Washington next morning. And you haven't seen much: the interval is almost blank.
 People can see more nowadays by staying at home than by travelling what with the films and every- thing. And when we really get our- selves adjusted to this fact, we may stay cheerfully at home and let nearly everything else come to us.

 When travel is impossible, it may be "sour grapes" psychology to won- der if, after all, we are missing so much. But the greater the speed Of modern travel, the more natural this query. Middle-aged people re- member when "traveling around the world" was a great adventure, and travellers wrote books about it. Now 1t is mere incident, not mean ing much in most cases, except that somebody had left home for a few days or weeks and come back from an opposite direction. The traveller doesn't see very much, or meet many people, and is not much en- riched by his experience. In flying he dozes and reads, missing thou sands of interesting things he might have experienced down be- low in an old-fashioned journey.

Did you happen to hear the $64. question on Phil Bakers program last Sunday night? The question: Who was the composer of sixth symphony called the Pastoral? The answer: Beethoven.
 Who knows but what YOU might sometime be faced with musical question on asquiz program? That $64. crackles nicely when it folds! And it's one more reason for es- tablishing that Tuesday night habit of attending the Base Library con- certs of recorded music. They'r re relaxing, they're educational and they're made up of your request numbers.
 Beethoven's Sixth Symphony has been chosen as the feature on next weeks program. One of the landmarks of music, it was written in the country in the summer of 1908, and is composed of five in place of the usual four movements. Arturo Toscanini conducts the B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra in an excellent recording of this famous symphony. .::-"~. Y. -:-.... --.:

Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, Pastoral
 Feature In Library Concert, Tuesday Night

Second on the program Is the Symphonic Synthesis of Moussorg- sky's opera Boris Godounow", ar ranged and conducted by Leopold Stokowski. As an opera "Boris" lacked continuity of plot and was too completely episodic to be thoroughly good. For these and other reasons Stoko'wski has dis titled from it the basic elements of the work, and blended them into a kind of tone poem as beautifully constructed as symphony.
 "Orpheus", Franz Liszt's fourth symphonic poem, has been chosen for third place on the program. It seems to have been inspired first by a performance of Gluck's opera of the same name which Liszt once conducted, and to have been further urged upon him by mem ory of. an Etruscan vase in the Louvre, on which Orpheus was shown playing his Tyre.
 Closing the program will be Jerome Kern's musical portrait of Mark Twain" played by Andre Kostelanetz and his orchestra.
