KERN ONCE WAS AMATEUR, RADIO iGROUPJSTOLD Mayor Recalls Days as Miriotrel for Bow*'* Stage Unit. Mayor Kern, who was having breakfast with some minstrels this morning, revealed that he once was a minstrel himself, and had the current crop of amateurs ‘in the aisW witn circumstances of his musical career.

Quartet Becomes Trio They almost immediately booked themselves for a serenade at Smith College, and since Smith College was 230 miles away it was decided that they would drive there, not walk. Stuffed in an open roadster, they started out into the winter night. T.m miles out. one of the quartet, preoccupied with something or other, toppled and fell out of the car. They decided that if he had no tpore interest in the venture than to fall out of the car, the Imperial Quartet would be better off the Imperiol Trio, and so it was. They left l)im 10 miles out. Several more miles and one of the Trio dent to sleep. Indignant over this, the remaining two hastily re2rganized the troupe and it became tie Imperial Duet. t And Now It s a Solo •At dawn the duet arrived at Smith Campus and separated to flnd the best spot for a serenade.

E. Baker, senior agricultural economist of the United States Department of Agriculture, in one of the principal addresses. “It is becoming clear that the land is the foundation of the family and the family is the foundation of the state.” Richmond Wrman Speaks Other speakers were Mrr.
