This is what we learned, and let the
chips fall where they may: men gossiped
far more than women!
The total time of mems conversations
was 1850 minutes, with 459 spent in
tattle, scandal-spreading, personal re-
marks about persons not present and
repetition of rtumors they had heard.
Proportion of gossip to the total of all
other subjects discussed = l7.3 per cent.
The women's conversations added up
to 2,231 minutes, during which they
gossiped 3O2 minutes, or only 1875 per
cent.
Hail the Champs!
WE FOUND that men (1ail the champsD
tattled chiefly about their bosses and Co
workers abilities on the job, graft and
chiseling of colleagues and competitors
and money which others did or did not
have. Gossip about girls topped the
list among younger men, but it was
almost completely absent among
the older males.
For women, sex and domestic un-
happiness outranked all other gossip
subjects. Next came money, personal
appearance and home management.
We discovered two more startling facts
about gossip in subsequent interviews
with psychiatrists, research organization
heads, marriage counselors and social
: workers. These experts told us:
I. Our results tailed with their own re-
cent findings.
Z. Gossip actually is no longer con-
sidered a heinous social vice. Psycholo-
gists now believe there are levels of
seriousness some kinds are destructive,
but others are classed as a natural hu-
man desire and satisfaction of normal
human need.
The following facts bolstered our con-

KEosr males cheerfully admit women
N1 gossip far more than they do.
Women themselves are inclined to agree.
We decided to get scientific answer -
and when we did, it turned out to be a
surprise!
We spent month eavesdropping on
conversations of friends and strangers.
We horned in on, got ourselves invited
to or just plain listened with big ears to
groups of secretaries, shoppers, garage
mechanics, neighbors, newspapermen,
salesgirls, radio writer's, bus drivers,
factory workers, lawyers, dentists.
We overheard talk in bars, soda foun-
tains, hotel lobbies, railway stations,
buses, trains, college alumni meetings,
beauty parlors, supermarkets, depart
ment stores and in homes.
As yardstick on how to measure
gossip, we used the definition in Funk
and Wagnalls' New STANDARD" Diction-
ary: idle or familiar talk; groundless
rumor; tattle, especially scandalous,
half lf-oonfdential, usually ill-founded per-
sonal remarks about, or criticism Of
others" Virtually the same points were
made in other dictionaries.
Listening In
WE EAVESDROPPED on hundreds of
people, but our survey includes only con-
versation which lasted at least 20 min
utes. Our sample was equally divided -
half were all-nale, covered by the male
reporter; half were all-fema1e, and were
recorded by his wife. As we listened, we
noted: topics discussed, number of min
utes devoted to each and total elapsed
time of the individual talks.
To remove any temptation to stack
the figures, however unwittingly, we
kept our own records secret from each
other until it was time to make the
master tabulation.

Indian islands that lie OF the

bids for a share Of this country's
lucrative tourist trade.
Some of them have untapped
resources to offer-little known
but historic cities. fresh scenic
wonders and new and modernistic
summer and winter resorts. Steam
ship companies and airlineS are
joining in the campaign by in
Guiding new ports in their sched-
ules and added facilities to theil
services.
Naturally, every one going to
the South Atlantic wants to see
picturesque Rio de Janeiro, bus
tling Buenos Aires, industrial Sac
Paulo and the smart and spotless
Uruguayan capital. Montevideo
All of these are and have long been
included in the regular schedules
of uth-bound ships and planes.
But this winter, cruise ships and
some of the regular passenger
liners are also calling at such ports
and cities as Bridgetown, Barba-
dos, Recife and Sac Salvador, cap
itals, respectively, of the Brazilian
states Of Pernambuco and Baia;
Punta del Este, Uruguay, and
others.
The Delta Lines steamers from
New Orleans recently have added

Symphony Giving
Three Concerts

The National Symphony Or
chestra, Howard Mitchell, con-
ductor. win give three concerts
this week, the third being at the
Coliseum of the University of
Maryland, Thursday night.
On Wednesday Werner Lywen,
the concert master of the orches-
ira, will be presented at the regu-
lar symphony's series in Constitu-
ton Hall at $3.50 pm.
This will be his second appear
ancet his season, the first being
in the Beethoven's Triple Con-
certo." which formed a part in
the Beethoven Concerto cycle. He
will play Benjamin Britten's con-
certo for violin, which he per-
formed previously in Boston and
New York.
A graduate of the Berlin State
Academy of Music, Mr.. Lywen
made his concert debut in Ger
many. In the United States since
1886, he was first engaged as as
sistant concertmaster of the Met
ropolitan Opera Orchestra. Later

with the New York City Sym

nica1 expert, and has continued
in this line.
In Mr.. Middleton's office are
files containing the music cata-
logues of all music publishers and
copies of contracts between COM
posers and publisher. Some of the
latter are hand written. bearing
the signature OF world famous
composers. Among these is the
firm. arresting signature Of Sibe-
illus. In addition. records of per-
formances are filed regularly from
each Of the many sources such as
radio. recordings, film. concert
performances and now, teleyision.
The amount Of detail is tremend-
Gus, yet Mr.. Middleton has it all
at his finger tips. putting his hand
without hesitation on the specific
document he seeks.
Millions Are Returned.
Some foreign publishers had
existing contracts with American
firms, which makes the work
considerably easier. But for
others the money involved runs
into several millions. Return to
France has been comparatively
simple. For radio exploitation
alone of works by French COM
posers, ASCAP turned over 81
million to the Office, including
$600.00O returned to the French
Then 100000 was paid to Du-
rand's of Paris for Ravels music
and full return has been made to
Denmark. The alien property
custodian administered the Ricord
catalogue and on this a return
has been made to Italy of $275,-
600. The Richard Strauss operas
also come under this administra-
ton and reports are sent in regu-
larly by the Metropolitan Opera
as to performances and receipts.
At present, Mr.. Middleton
states. the department is awaiting
legislation regarding an extension
of the date for filing copyright
claims. There are many technical
and. legal problems that hold up
immediate settlement. Included
in this is the complete clarifica-
ton of Sibelius' case and the pay
ment Of back royalties. At best.
Mr.. Middleton believes these will
not exceed about $4,000. But If
information is desired concerning
any matter that comes under the
supervision of Mr.. Middleton,
there is data at hand from the
slightest note to a complete audit
OF monies received.
