WOMEN

! College girls choice for husbands
seems to follow the old verse:
Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief,
if the LOCO college women students
in the State of Washington who
recently expressed their preference
are typical.
Professional men rated first as
the choice for a husband and bus
mess men second in the study of
farm marriage preferences recent
ly made by the Washington State
College and Experiment Station
However, the girls from farm
homes preferred farmers for hus-
bands almost as often as profess
ional men. Among these girls farm
ers rather than businessmen ran q
close second to professional men.
1t was shown that women gener-
ally prefer their husbands to be
their equals or superiors in educa
ton. Because men in the profess
ions generally have college train
ing, it is not surprising that they
were preferred by the college girls.
There was no evidence that g
college education gives a girl al
attitude toward becom
ing a farm wife. The higher the
education of the girls parents, the
more favorable she is toward
a farmer. The college
girls are willing to become farm
wives if they can have the same

Number OF Polio Cases
Seen Largest Since 1916

Washington.-Public Health Ser
vice officials said that the 194S
total Of infantile paralysis cases
probably will be the largest since
1916. In 1916 10000 cases were re-
ported and this figure never has
been exceeded.
The second largest number, 25,-
COS occurred in 1916.
This year, to date, 22,594 cases
have been reported and the polio
season has not yet ended. On the
same date in 1916 there were 21,-
662 reported cases.

Why is Eddie Cantor popular ?

Well, all of our activities don't
have to be and cannot be light and

But perhaps that very state is
the reason for the mad rush to

This column is written too neal
election day to permit any further
discussion of politics. So, let's tall
about radio give-away shows, since
almost everyone else is doing it.
Fred Allen has made a certain
form of to-do about it, by insurine
his listeners against loss up to S5,-
1000, should they miss prize while
listening to him.
1t seems to me that Allen had
done a wise thing.
The phrase used to be, "if you
can't lick 'em, jine 'em."
Allen revises it to read, "if you
can't lick 'em, insure against 'em."
1t come to about the same thing.
The tactic is about as old as human
conflict.
But it is also true-and about
equally old-that if you can't think
of something better than your
rivals output, you are likely to get
peevish, while if you can score with
something better you just get glee-
full all over the place.
X X X
There are a lot of critics of the
give-away shows. Well, nobody can
say they are very educational. They
have one great asset-they are
popular. People like 'em.
If people like 'em, why shouldn't
people have 'em?
No moral issue is involved. The
cry against them seems to be that
they are silly.
So they are silly. Well, so are
lot of so-called comic strips. | don't
care for most comic strips, but
lot of people do like them. So, why
shouldn't they have 'em.
Why is that certain people think
they are endowed with the proper
amount of wisdom for telling
others what they should or should
not have?
Radio quiz, or give-away shows
are roughly a dozen years old. One
of the first originated in Washing
ton. think it was Double or No
thing. Lately they have grown to
fantastic proportions, with amaz-
ingly large winnings for the lucky
ones.
Perhaps this is the American
form of lottery.
If so, what's so really wrong
with it? Nobody has to participate
and nobody loses anything, win or
not.
There is another point. The
prizes often are fabulously large.
But, considering the commercial
outfits that offer them, and relating
,hem to other advertising and pro-
notional costs, they really are not |
arge at all.
The basic cost is the radio time.
1t would be a good wager that
my critic of such programs who
night be lucky enough to win one
# the big jackpot prizes would
ease to be hostile right at that
moment.
Why is this a matter of interest
o readers of labor paper?
Well, for just one simple little
eason: Labor would do we'll to pay
quail heed to what people like
vhen it plans its public relations
md promotional campaigns.
Hit upon what people like and
'eople will go with you. If you
ant hit upon exactly what they
ike, come as near as you can.
Even if your job is to put over :,
that is called education {

lie can't be serious all the time. &

Battle OF Statler'
Ended After 4 Years

Washington (LPA)-The famous
"battle of the Statler" in which
two Navy officers were charged
with creating a disturbance outside
an Int'l Brotherhood of Teamsters-
AFL banquet for President Roose-
welt in 1914, ended in the US Court
of Appeals here this week. The
court threw out a suit against the
IBT by Randolph Dickins Jr., one
of the Navy men involved.
Dickins sued the union after it
published affdavits telling of his
conduct in the Statler lobby, and
after the Republicans had blown
the epithets exchanged between
IBT men and the officers into a
"maior battle" of the 1914 presi-
Dental campaign. Judge Wilbur *.
Miller threw out the suit ON the
ground that there was no decisive
evidence of malice in the Teams
ters' account of the incident.

WHAT'S COOKIN'?


There are new candies on the
market made Of fruits and vege-
tables and sweetened naturally.
One kind is made of carrots and
prunes condensed. 1t has a creamy.
caramel like flavor and contains
the Vitamin A that carrots are not
ed for.
Another type Of natural candy is
made Of fresh oranges. A new pro-
cess turns the orange juice into
hard candy form retaining all the
fresh orange flavor and vitamins
and minerals needed. The only
thing added is hydrogenated fat to
improve the flavor. Otherwise those
candy squares are all pure orange.

This is a good time of year for

not know how to use it. You wash
the squash, split in half, remove

HAVE YOU HEARD /? /? +? :?

That there are over $500 bust
nesses supplying music to their
employees while they work?
Muzak, pioneer Of the piped in
music, is now doing a four million
dollar business a year.
Management has been convinced
that Muzak relieves worker fatigue
reduces errors and makes satisfied
employes. A scientific approach to
the problem shows that workers
have pre-fatigue efficiency dip
an hour after starting work, g
deeper dip near noon, and letdowns
in efficiency are repeated in the
afternoon.
Music, it seems, provides extra
stimulation during these periods.
Programs are designed for differ
ent trades, one type Of music for
sit-down workers, another type for
stand-up workers and office trades.
Out Of 1000 garment workers
interviewed, 81 percent felt that
Muzak helped to break the mono
tony Of the work-day, 81 percent
felt it helped to make the day
pass faster, and IA percent felt it
relieved nervousness. Only 2 per-
cent thought it interfered with the
job.

One Of the new accessories for
winter is the waistcoat and the
girl handy with the needle can
make her own. The waistcoat is a
snug, sleeveless jacket whic h
reaches to waist length and is
worn over a blouse, above a skirt.
To make one you can rip the
sleeves off an old jacket, chop it
short at the waist, snip out the in
ner lining and fit it to body con-
tours by pulling in the seams and
tucks.
The tight-fitting jackets with
peplums, so good last season and
so taboo today make excellent sub
jects for waistcoat conversion.

Women with short or thin ear

The guards are made Of silver or

nique not only rapid and brilliant
but unvaryingly strong and even.
His digital strength in its consist
emily equal development, assures an
extraordinary transparency in all
bravura passages. It gives also
sorority to his tone in forte delivery
that bestows breath, dignity and
|largeness to his style. Unfortunately
1t was only when these character
istics were In operation that his
playing had distinction, for he brings
no special interpretive gifts to it or
sensitiveness in tonal coloring. When
more poetic effects are required, his
tone loses its fullness without taking
on a suitable velvetiness.
1t could be judged that Mr.. Davis
has worked more on the virtuoso
angle than on the interpretive, al
though his musical responsiveness is
apparent at all times. His perform
ance on the Bach "Chromatic Fan
tasy and Fugue" focused attention
Immediately on his particular powers
in maintaining clarity of form and
richly resonant tone while brilliantly
handling its intracacies. Chopin's
"Etude in F Major" was another
number where the ripping character
of the runs showed how perfectly
note was matched with note. It was
in details such as these, further ex-
emplif1ed in the first two movements
of the Beethoven Sonata in z
major, op. 109," in Brahms "Rhap-
sody in E fiat" and the Prokofieff
Sonata No. g. that the pianist ex-
celled.
The demands of the "Andante
motto cantabile" of the Beethoven
Sonata, the Chopin "Nocturne in
D fiat" and the Brahms "Capriccio
in F sharp minor and "Intermezzo
in B minor, discovered the weak
spots in Mr.. Davis present equip
ment. Descriptiveness in tonal
shadings, dynamics with interpre-
tive aims and the directive warmth
of feeling are needed now to round
out his exceptional gifts. He has
reliable technical foundation that
puts him on a virtuoso plane so that
he can feel free to devote himself
to deeper musical analysis and to
the expression of the subtle beauty
he finds there.
"Out of the Silence" from Stills
Seven Traceries" was also an at
mospheric work whose fine points
eluded him although "Muted Laugh
ter" from the same suite suited him
better. Villa-Lobos' "Choros No. s.,
among the modern numbers, dis
played again the purity, frmness
and brilliance of his mechanical

By Alice Eyersmon

Edwin Davis, who has been heard
here over the radio and in concerts
and who is now on his way to a
Town Hall recital in New York, gave
a piano program in the Phillips Gal
lery last night. His talent was to be
appreciated with the playing of his
first number, as also his serious and
thorough preparation. Although it
was principally from the classical
repertoire that his selections were
made, there were excursions into the
contemporary in the programs con-
cluding numbers. But it was evi-
dent that his kinship for these was
not as pronounced as for the IA
miliar Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and
Chopin.
