and the answers of 2818 showed they were merely enduring the present, waiting for some “lucky break.” We should all work for lucky breaks, but for heaven's sake why not get some fun out of life while we wait? When the 1929 crash came many people scorned lower jobs; others pitched in, got fun out of the lower jobs, and are now shead of where they were then.

NOT AT all. For example, as shown by Science Service, more than half such accidents last year in Illinois were those where heedless motorists crashed into gates. One

motorists had run right into their gates—certainly discouraging to those spending money to prevent such recklessness. They blame this chiefly on the fact that motorists drive so fast they do not see the gates or watchman far enough ahead to stop. But some of it is just plain reckless.

Victor Bay, who weekly collects subject for his “Essays in Music,”

at 9 p. m. There is quite a collection of garden music, apparently, though most of us could only mention Percy Grainger’s “Country Gardens” and “In the Garden,” from Goldmark’s “Rustic Wedding” Symphony. Well, both of these compositions will be heard tonight, the first as “theme song.” In addition Mr. Bay has programmed the first movement of Cyril Scott's “Summer Gardens” Suite, the garden love-scene music from Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godounov,” and the “Jardin Feerique” movement from Ravel's “Mother Goose” Suite as orchestral selections, Miss Shaw will sing Hugo Wolf's “The Gardener” and Granados’ “The Goddess in the Garden.” And the quartet will offer Harrington's setting of a song by Roobenian, “In an Old English Garden.” » » ” Dr. Howard Hanson, the noted American composer, directs the Eastman School of Music's ‘symphony orchestra as well as the school itself. And tonight he is to conduct a 45-minute concert which will be sent from station WHAM, Rochester, to the NBC-Blue network at 7:45 o'clock. The program is to include Locatelli's Concerto Grosso for two

hesitate to set down here as NBC sent it. According to network publicity it is “Piano Forte for Two Brass Choirs.” Now it is quite possible that the “piano” and “forte” in the title have the original Italian meaning, and that one brass choir is going to play softly, and the other with considerable gusto. But the combination of piano and forte, as applied to our modern keyboard instrument, makes one wonder. Gabrielli was a 17th Century Italian opera composer and cellist. His only instrumental compositions listed by Grove's are a collection of dance tunes for two violins, cello and “basso continuo.” Cannabich, who was born at Mannheim in 1731, was more noted as a violinist than as a composer. But his chief claim to fame rests upon his conducting-—which just goes to prove that nothing's new under the sun, not even expressive orchestra playing. Mozart, in letters to his father, spoke frequently of the perfect ensemble of Cannabich’s Mannheim orchestra, and called him the best conductor he had ever met. A writer named Schubart wrote of one of these orchestra performances in the following effusive phrases: “Here the forte is a thunder, the

9:00—Victor Bay, WFBM. (See “Good Radio Music.”)

9:00—Bing Crosby, WIRE. 10:30—Paul Whiteman, WIRE. 11:30—Shep Fields, WLW.

If you've been following Meredth Willson’s presentations of the 10 most beloved compositions, you'd better be on hand tonight when he and his orchestra play the No. 1 piece of music on the “Good News” program at 8 o'clock over NBC. WIRE. During the past nine weeks you have heard Rossini’s “William Tell” overture, Paderewski's Minuet in G, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony, the “Hallelujah Chorus” by Handel, “Londonderry Air,” the “Pilgrim's Chorus” from Tannhauser, Dvorak’s “Humoresque,” the Largo from Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony, and Johann Strauss’ “Blue Danube” Waltz. Tonight's selection has not been announced. But what has been announced is a personal appearance by Billie Burke, stage and screen actress, in a preview of her new picture, “Everybody Sing.” Fanny Brice will present a Baby Snooks song from the same picture entitled “Why-—Because,” and Frank Morgan, Allan Jones and Judy Garland will return for the feature spots. » s ” There seems to be a great deal of disagreement as to what “Democracy” is, and therefore, Ww “Democracy” means. And n America’s Town Hall Meeting of the Air has taken it up for their sub ject tonight at 8:30 o'clock over NBC-Blue Webster's New International Dictionary says “Democracy: Government by the people; a form of gove ernment in which the supreme pow er is retained by the people and exercised either directly, or indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority periodically renewed, as in a constitutional repJe uliive government, or repubic.” During the broadcast debate tonight Isaac Don Levine will join Dr. Ruth Alexander to oppose Clarence A. Hathaway and and Max Lerner on the subject “What Does Democracy Mean?” Before the discussion of the American interpretation begins, Salvatore de Madariaga, former delegate to the League of Nations from Spain, will offer the international viewpoint. The onetime Spanish Ambassador to the United States also will summarize the positions taken by the speakers at the conclusion of the discussion.

Dr. Alexander and Mr. Levine are well-known writers and lecturers. Mr. Hathaway is editor of “The Daily Worker” and Mr. Lerner is editor of The Nation. " B® ®

It was the Sage of Van Buren who said, “That ain't English, that's a language called Crosby.” Robin Burns was upset—‘“playing infield,” as Crosby said. And when Burns, who has a “quaint patois” of his own, doesn’t know what is going on about him in his professional home, then it’s time to call a halt, or do some explaining. At least that’s the way he felt about it. And so he stepped boldly up to the proprietor of the “Music Hall” and said, “Now look, Bing, give ug a ‘full treatment’ on that lingo of yours.” The ever obliging Mr. Crosby was astounded. He swore a great oath on his innocence, stating that he had no idea that he was unintelligible. “Why, Station liouse is as simple as can be,” he said. “Then what is this ‘Station House'?” countered the man from the Arkansas hills, “and you needn't stop there.” “I'll write it for you,” said Bing. And he did. Here it is: “Station House—Off the elbow, zingy, icky, round haireut, or just station house: Shooting Gallery— a picture palace, a cinema castle: Prayer Bones—knees: The Weekly Blue Plate—the guest of honor: Packs a small beef—is a little vexed: In the groove—borrowed from the swing musicians, means exactly right—on the nose, down the alley: Take it on the Arthur Duffy-—to get away fast, Arthur Duffy being a sprinter of renown in times past: A new backdrop and very sharp a new suit in the latest and most extreme style.” Page H. L. Mencken! And if you are interested in more “Station House,” page Mr. Crosby on the “Music Hall” broadcast tonight at 9 o'clock over NBC-WIRE. ” ” »

Irene Castle McLaughlin, Internationally famous as a dancer and a fashion expert, will appear as the guest of the NBC Jamboree tonight at 9:30 o'clock over the Blue network. Mrs. McLaughlin will be ine terviewed by Don McNeill following a dramatization of the outstanding events of her life. ” ” ”

Dr. Roland Hall Sharp, noted writer and world traveler, will begin his radio series on South America from Rio de Janeiro over NBC-Blue at 5:15 p. m. today. Originally scheduled to start his broadcasts last Friday, Dr. Sharp requested a posponement to arrange interviews with Government officials and colorful native characters who will be heard during the programs. Later broadcasts will come from Buenos Aires, Santiago, Chile; Bogota, Columbia; Guatemala City and Mexico City.

away into the far distance, the piano a breeze of spring.” Of course Herr Schubart never saw a Tuscanini nor heard a Boston Symphony. But he was an accepted writer and doubtless knew something about his subject. Perhaps, despite the imperfect brasses and woodwinds, vibrato-less strings, lack of rehearsals and so on, there may have been moments of orchestral beauty before the days of von
