r-' Radio WFBM SOON TO BE JOINED WITH NfTIONAUHAIN Engineering Society Told of Plans for Greater Radio Service. “WFBM, Indianapolis Power and Light company radio station, soon will be hooked up in a nationwide chain,” said M. K. Foxworthy, former general director of the sta tion, in a speech before the Indianapolis Engineering Society Tuesday night at the Spink-Arms. “The company is perfecting an individual station identified with Indianapolis, and we are building an individualized program. The hookup with the chain will be but an added feature of the service,” he stated. Foxworthy will be connected with a local coal company Dec. 1. He introduced his successor at WFBM, Roy Thurman, who will become general director. Concerning the great bugbear of radio he said, “Static elimination is a great way off, but engineers are lessening the amount of interference each day. “With slow static elimination comes a greater field for radio advertising. It never will take the place of newspaper and magazine advertising, because it is of a different character. The appeal to the public must be pleasing or they will turn the dial to another station. “Since it is considered unethical to sell directly over radio, the advertising must be in the nature of a trade mark and build only good will. The success of radio advertising has been proved through the widespread response of the public in buying products advertised through excellent radio programs.” But radio work is not all a matter of business. The station must build a certain good will of its own, it was ponited out. “Recently a woman called WFBM on the telephone and asked that a certain musical program be broadcast because ‘I am entertaining my bridge section this afternoon at my home and just must have your cooperation for its success.’ The station played the program,” Foxworthy said. D. J. Angus, of Esterline-Angus Company, was the second speaker. In a technical talk he explained to the engineers how it is possible to operate 600 stations on a wave band that actually is large enough to accommodate only 100 at the same time. “And through the work of the federal radio commission, the total number of stations can be increased by placing farthest apart those stations with the nearest frequency,” Argus said. Other technical problems were covered.

U. S. WAR PLAN CALLS FOR SIX FIELD_ARMIES Summerail Reports That Program Provides for 3,500,000 Men. By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—War department mobilization plans in the event of a grave national emergency provide for call to arms of six field armies, aggregating 3,500,000 men from an estimated national man power of 18,000,000 General Charles P. Summerail, chief of staff, informed Secretary of War Davis in his annual report made public today. Mobilization plans have been revised, Summerail said, in such manner to consolidate importantly the man power of the nation. Success or failure of America’s defense, he explained, would depend largely upon the readiness of two elements of first land defense, the regular army and the national guard. Must Have Training Time Although the present standard of individual training is high, Summerall said the fact must be faced that time must elapse before complete divisions would be ready for combat. The average American soldier in the World war received eight months’ training before entering the line in a quiet sector and remained thirty days in the quiet area before going into a major battle. “We can not expect,” Summerail continued, “that in operations on this continent we will be able to wait until units have reached full strength before they are ordered into campaign. “Considerable time will elaspe before we can assemble the component parts required for satisfactory performance by our divisions. Units Vary in Efficiency “Our training always must be directed toward a further decrease in the time required for their transformation into readiness for campaign. “Experience has shown that the readiness of units is a variable factor. Even now in each of the components of the army there are units which, due to favorable conditions in their locality or the enthusiasm of their personnel, are better prepared for field service than are other units assigned to an earlier priority in the initial mobilization plan.” Summerail complimented the "high state of efficiency” of every rank of the army and said the nation had reason to be proud of the personnel.

INDIANA BALLROOM TO HAVE A GAY TIME Devise Plans to Have a Great Thanksgiving Frolic on the Roof Starting Tonight and for Rest of Week. A DOUBLE-BAND attraction, staging what is to be termed a “battle of music” will be the manner in which the Indiana roof ballroom will celebrate the Thanksgiving holidays, according to an announcement made by Tom Devine, manager. This special attraction will open tonight as a feature of the “Thanksgiving Eve fun fest.” The second band is known as Alexander’s Jockeys. They will arrive from Winnipeg, Canada, coming to Indianapolis for the sole purpose of waging a five-night musical battle against Dick Powell and his orchestra of this city.

With the “jockeys” will come a pair of comedians who have attracted wide attention because of their sizes as well as because of their versatility. They are George Simpson and Bert Brown. Simpson is six feet eight inches tall, while Brown is only four feet nine inches. The special double-band attraction will be in Indianapolis through Sunday night. In addition to other entertainment features prepared for the “Fun Fest” Wednesday night, the ballroom management at that time will present ten tnrkeys to guests. Special music and unusual attractions also have been arranged for the Thanksgiving ball Thursday night, according to Devine. 000 “‘DESERT SONG” IS BOOKED HERE “The Desert Song.” the musical sensation which thrilled New York for fifteen months and duplicated that record at the Drury Lane theater, London, where it proved the biggest success the London stage has ever known, will come to the English’ house on Monday night, Dec. 10, direct from a nine months’ engagement at the Great Northern theater, Chicago, and an all summer Detroit engagement, bringing its large orchestra and singing ensemble of 100 voices. “The Desert Song” is a thrilling romance of northern Africa during the Riff rebellion and is rich in colorful atmosphere and stirring incident. The book is by Otto Harbach, Oscar Mammerstein II and Frame Mar.del, and the score is by Sigmund Romberg, composer of "Blossom Time,” “The Student Prince,” and “My Maryland.” The production is by Schwab and Mandel, who are responsible for “Queen High,” “Good News” and other big musical hits of the last few seasons. Alexander Gray has the leading role as the Red Shadow, a mysterious leader of the native tribes, but who is really the son of the French governor of the province. The principal comedy part falls to Bernard Granville in the role of the timorous war correspondent. The leading fenjinine role, that of the young French girl whose ideas of romance run to sheiks and hot desert sands, is sung by Bernice Claire. Other important players in the cast are Harold Stanton, Sally Sloan, Edna Torrence. Philip Ryder, Ben Hendricks, Carlotta Miles, John Ehrle, A1 Baron, Larry Laurence, Grace Carroll and Jack Spiegal. The music of “The Desert Song” is the most entrancing heard in years, including such numbers as “The Desert Song,” “One Alone,”

By United Press , WASHINGTON, Ncv. 28.—A new limitation of armament conference between the United States and Great Britain to appply to all ships of war not covered by the Washington treaty was recommended today by Chairman Britten of the house naval affairs committee. He announced that he has cabled Minister Stanley Baldwin of England asking that such a conference be held in Canada after March 4, 1929. “I am impelled to suggest a joint meeting of the committee of naval affairs of the United house of representatives and a select committee of members of Parliament for friendly discussion and the hearing of testimony in connection with applying the principle of equality in sea power between Great Britain and the United States on all ships of war not already coverede by the Washington treaty,” Britten cabled. “Meetings to take place preferably in Canada after March 4, 1929, and each committee will report with recommendations to its respective government just as may now be done annually by the various groups of the interparliamentary union.” Britten said his proposal was "unusual but entirely within my congressional authority.” “America’s naval policy has never

Turn Hair Dark With Sage Tea By JEAN MACON

The o 1 d-t im e mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother’s recipe, and folks are again using to keep their

hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product for only 75 cents, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” It is very popular because bobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.— Advertisement.
