among the leading efforts to study the problem in a scientific way, bu’ any one who will take the trouble to read in the Scientific Monthly, Prof. Chester E.

Courtship is like going into a temporary coma—neither party knows wHat is happening except they dream they are in heaven with the exits permanently closed. The courses in mate-selection, courtship and marriage, now being given in many colleges and universities, and which, no doubt, will soon become a common part of our high school curriculum, aim to inject a little common sense into the courtship and engagement periods.

Among Lawrence Tibbett’s selected songs for his regular broadcast
find the well-remembered favorite,
And this, of course calls to mind the picture of the same title and the more familiar “Peanut Vendor” from the same film. Also the fact that the soloist was the first opera star to venture upon that Venusburg called Hollywood.
bett and movies and opera are mixed together to make news today as well. For Mr. Tibbett is president of the American Guild of Musical
Artists—and since the country currently is curious about such things, it's an A. F. of L. affiliate. Now the A. G. M. A. has only 350 members, but it has organized 82 per cent of the Metropolitan singers, from stars to supernumeraries, and it is trying to effect some changes for the better in the songbirds’ working conditions. Among the changes the Guild hopes to effect there is one that might be of interest to listeners, since it concerns the Saturday Metropolitan matinee broadcasts. First of all, the opera company itself reEric all its members’ outside ap-

A, and their president think something ought to be done, Well, I'm all for a quick and peaceful settlement. But I .still have a sneaking desire to see Mesdames Flagstad, Pons and Moore and Messrs.

TONIGHT
7:00—~Cavalcade, WFBM. 7:30—Eddie Cantor, WFBM. 8:00—~Andre Kostelanetz, Lawrence Tibbett and Deems Taylor, WFBM. (See “Good Radio Music.”) 8:00—Fred Allen, WIRE. 8:30—Ben Bernie, WFBM. 9:00—Hollywood Parade, WIRE. 9:30-~Minstrels, NBC-Blue. 11:00—Guy Lombardo, WIRE.
The Cavalcade of America tonight presents incidents from the life of Oliver Wendell Holmes, physician, scientist, poet, humorist and a leading light of the “flowering of New England” during the first half of the 19th century.
To refresh our memory, you might recall that it was the good Dr. Holmes who, horrified at the plan to break up “Old Ironsides,” rushed to her defense with the stirring and bitter lines—
“Aye, tear her tattered ensign down, Long has it waved on high, And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky. Beneath it rung the battle shout And burst the cannon’s roar; The meteor of the ocean air Shall sweep the clouds no more.”
That poetic effort did much to save the frigate Constitution and it brought Dr. Holmes undying fame. If the memory of having to recite “Old Ironsides” in school has faded, you may remember his “Wonderful One-Hoss Shay” or “The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table” in which, with twinkling eye, he scored his literary friends Lowell, Emerson, Aldrich and a number of the other “greats” of the day. One of Dr. Holmes’ greatest contributions to America, although he probably didn’t know it, was his son, the other Oliver Wendell Holmes who became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and one of the greatest jur=ists in the history of the nation. The program tonight, which will be broadcast over CBS-WFBM at 7 o'clock, will be dedicated to the Boy Scouts of America, who this week are celebrating the 28th anniversary of their organization's founds ing. » = ” A reader has written to The Times expressing interest in broadcasts of an educational nature. The subscriber especially. mentioned Hendrik Willem Van Loon and, by implication, requested information concerning the eminent author, artist and philosopher. Dr. Van Loon was born in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1882. At the age of 9 he began a Universal Historical Encyclopedia which he discontinued two years later for lack of time and paper. His family wanted him to be anything but a writer. They had little success with him, however. He would write and chose English as his medium because, as he said, he thought it was the most difficult language in the world. The ponderous tome he began as a boy seems to be the key to his life. He has been turning them out ever since and at the same time making a living as a journalist. His latest work is “The Arts,” a sensi=ble and complete history of Art which he has illustrated himself. For the past two years, Dr. Van Loon has appeared from time to time before NBC's microphones. Further details concerning his future broadcasts will be published in this column when they are made available, #8 = = This is the 66th air week for the “Poetic Melodies” broadcasts heard over CBS-WFBM. In that time Jack Fulton has sung more than 1000 songs and Franklyn MacCormack has read about 700 poems. Most popular poem on the show has been MacCormack’s own “Forgotten” which received the highest number of requests. Two thousand copies of the verse have already been given to listeners. An anonymous poem called “Why I Love You,” found in a 1906 Chicago newspaper is the second largest audience mail puller. ou ” ” Eddie Cantor will present another of his discoveries on his half hour over CBS-WFBM at 7:30 p. m. tonight. The “little man” is now conducting a talent quest, presenting a new child star each week. A popular vote on each will be taken in a few weeks and the winner will be named the “Discovery of 1938,” as in the case of Deanna Durbin and Bobby Breen in former years.

S. A. Oyen, prominent American shipping consultant, will describe the present problems of the American merchant marine and offer a possible solution to the situation when he speaks over WOR today at 5:45 p. m. Mr. Oyen will title his address “The American Merchant Marine—a Solution to Chaos.”

Charles Wagner, who claims to be the world’s champion tattooer, will be Fred Allen's “person you didn’t expect to meet” on the Town Hall Tonight broadcast at 8 p. m. today over NBC-WIRE. You may remember that it was only the other day that Allen complained that Radio was slowly but surely becoming vaudeville. Allen should know, for, as he has’ said many times, he played to deer in the gallery for years. While he’s complaining, though, he might remember that gas-sniffers and tattoo artists aren’t exactly elevating. ® ®»
