LET'S EXPLORE YOUR MIND
By DR. ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAM
NO. The human face does not . show any special qualities. Men-
tal and emotional qualities such as intelligence, will, ruthlessness, dominance, etc, are qualities of the brain and nervous system-—not of the bones or muscles or fat of the face. Napoleon, the most dominat-
ing figure of his time; Caesar, the most dominating will of the Roman world; Alexander, the dominating mind of his age—all had rather regular, “Greek” type of faces.
SLEEP has been the subject of ntation at the
BRIVIBNT FOBT JONN DLE Co
the old agage, “the hours before midnight are the best for sleep,” is true. Sleep during these hours | brings more rest, and thus contri- | butes more to health and beauty than sleep obtained at later hours,
” n » THERE are two kinds of such worriers — those who worry merely over the loss of sex appeal, and those who worry over possible loss of the job and being left penniless in old age. The former type are emotional adolescents—women
with grown-up intellects but with girlish emotions. Nothing is finer
than the grey-headed woman who carries her age with the dignity of
her job in old age is, for the working woman, hard to avoid. Tt may be her very maturity and foresight that lead her to worry,
NEXT-—Do women want handsome husbands as much as men want beautiful wives?

Good Radio Music By JAMES THRASHER
Tuneful, pleasant music is relished by many summer listeners, and that is what Frank Black is presenting on the “Contented Hour” program, heard tonight and each Monday at 8 o'clock on WIRE.
This evening Dr. Black will give you Ravel's celebrated “Bolero” and |
Frahz Reis’ “Perpetium Mobile,” which should be familiar to anyone
who has gone to a few violin re-®
citals. Both, incidentally, are in the conductor's own arrangement,
” un ” Victor Bay, conductor for CBS’ Shakespeare series, says he had a difficult time finding any appropriate “background music” for tonight's performance, “Much Ado About, Nothing.” Finally he decided upon several compositions by Frescobaldi, an Italjan contemporary of Shakespeare, as being apt for the play's renaissance setting. Mr, Bay also has used music by Corelli and the Elizabethan tune for which Shakespeare wrote the verses: “Sigh No More, Ladies.” » # " There are two song recitals scheduled on OBS tomorrow by Jeanette Vreeland and Russell Dorr (WFBM at 1:30 p. m.), and Margaret Daum (4 p. m.—not carried locally), Miss Daum sang in the Metropolitan’s spring season and at present is in St. Louis as a member of the summer opera company. Her program will include songs by Chaminade, Grieg, Schubert, Weaver and Friml. Miss Vreeland, widely known concert soprano, has programmmed the “Quia Respexit” from Bach's “Magnificat”; Spier's “Ultima Rosa”; Grieg's “Mit elner Wasserlille”; one of Debussy’s “Ariettes Oubliees,” and “Mariette’s Lied” from Ko opera, “Die Todte Stadt.” M
and Sullivan's “Iolanthe,” and “Myself When Young,” from Liza Lehmann's “Persian Garden” cycle.

By United Press WASHINGTON, July 19.—-Two high officials of the Federal Communications Commission today headed the list of possible appointees to the vacancy created by the resignation of Commissioner Irvin Stewart. ; They were Carl I. Wheat, Los Angeles, Cal, director of the commission's teléphone rate and research department, and Hampson Gary, a native of Texas, general counsel of the regulatory body. The appointment of Wheat would bring the West its first representation on the Commission. There was much resentment expressed during the early days of the Commission since none of the appointees was from west of the Mississippi ver.

Central City Play Festival To Be Broadcast
Tomorrow.
By RALPH NORMAN
The networks not find themselves with their best program hours lacking sponsors simply because another chain cate ries a broadeast admittedly so | popular no one wants to compete for listeners, NBC at 6 o'clock on Sunday eves nings, for instance, fills an hours long period on the Blue chain with sustaining programs, probably because time buyers suspect most
dinlers listen to Edgar Bergen and WwW. C. Fields on NBC's Red division from 6 to 7 o'clock, “Show Boal” ran into difficulty competing with Maj, Bowes at 7 o'clock on Thursday evenings, but instead of backing out and transfering to a different period, a new “Show Boat,” with a large and popular cast, is determined to win | its share of the radio audience, The period from 7 to 8 o'clock | opposite the Monday evening “Radio Theater” was notoriously hard to fill on NBC before "Radio Theater” left the air for the sumsmer. NBC's Blue and Red divisions juggled schedules several times last winter, as established broadcasters sought better periods. But if fighting fire with fire really works, NBC will give CBS and the OBS “Radio Theater” something to worry over next season, Beginning Oct. 4, NBC-Biue will present in a full hour program at 7 o'clock each Monday evening the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, with Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy conducting, As in the orchestra's half-hour series over CBS last season, Willard M, Kiplinger, Washington business analyst, will be the commentator, and the sponsorship will be the same as last season, It 1s both amusing and irritating to see the networks scheduling their best programs opposite each other, ps NBC and CBS are doing this summer with their sustaining Shakespearean cyeles and as they will do with “Radio Theater” and the Philadelphia Orchestra, Watching the other fellows fight may be interesting pastime, but when two of radio's finest programs arg coms peting, it indicates lack of network interest in public service.
CBS’ presentation of “Much Ade About Nothing,” starring Leslie Howard and Rosalind Russell, and NBC's “Twelfth Night,” with John and Plaine Barrymore, is not the only drama scheduled for tonight and tomorrow, If you're interested in unusual programs, 1 suggest you dial WLS at 6 o'clock this evening, when a group of blind actors and actresses, using Braille scripts, will present a specially written comedy, “Negatively Speaking.” Players are members of the Braille Theater Guild, the only group of its kind in the country. | Comedy, according to Dorothy Proesch, the group's dramatic di= rector, is their best medium. Their handicap, she explained, “seems to have developed an unusual ability for humor in their acting Since they have little facial expression and few natural gestures with which to express themselves, all expression is put into their voices.” Here is one of radio’s interesting experiments—unfortunately, in the superabundance of commercial pro= gram publicity, we hear little about such ventures, yet they go on al most every day,
”
Then tomorrow afternoon—-at 3:30 o'clock over NBC-Red-—will be heard the second broadcast from the sixth annual Central City, Colo, Play Festival. The broadcasts will originate on the stage of Central City's historic Opera House, now one of the most famous of our summer theaters. ‘Tomorrow’s program has not been announced, but outstanding players will include Ruth Gordon, Dennis King, Sam Jaffee, Walter Slezak and Sheila Barrett,
” ”
Mr. Howard and Miss Russell will be supported in “Much Ado About Nothing”-—-CBS-WFBM at 7 o'clock tonight—by Ben Webster, T3-years old Shakespearean player, as Leone ato; Charlotte Evans, as Hero; Dennis Green, as Claudio; John Davidson, as Don Pedro, and by several other players. Mr. Howard will be heard as Benedick, the woman hater, and Miss Russell will portray Beatrice, the man hater, The Barrymore supporting players | will be Erin O'Brien-Moore, Spring | Byington and George E, Stone, all | capable screen players. The Barry- | more performance, if you need to be reminded, will be on the NBC« | Blue network at 7:30 o'clock.

| v # | Lionel Barrymore was {to have played the title role of “King Lear” for OBS next Monday evening, but illness forced him to withdraw from the cast. and CBS subsequently booked “Julius Caesar” for next week, the cast yet to be nounced. Lionel Barrymore will be heard as King Lear on Aug. 9, providing his health permits him to broadcast. Misfortune seems to follow the distinguished actor's radio activities, His last scheduled appearance last December, for his traditional read ing of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” was canceled because of Mrs, Barry more's death.
