DOCWEST'S DEBUT ON RADID TONIGHT “Homely Philosopher” Wil Give Humorous Talk Over Columbia Network. Doc West, the “homely philosopher,” will make his radio debut tonight over WMAL and other Columbia Broadcast- ing System stations. *“Words of wisdom and startling truths” will be Doc West’s speciality, and his observatlons, it is announced, will not only be novel, but full of humor and wit. WMAL and the Columbia network also will introduce two other new fea- tures, “Trial by Jury,” and “Old Man River,” the latter being made up of vocal and orchestral compositions in which a river is the theme. These in- clude “Old Man River,” from “Show Boat”; “Mississippl Mud,” “Weary River,” “Slow River,” and “Wabash Blues.” The regular Columbia attractions scheduled by WMAL are the Kodak Hour, Enna Jettick Melodies, the True Story Hour and the Paramount and Everglades Orchestras. ~The famous Luther Trio of vocalists is again fea- tured in the Kodak Hour. The trio's contrlbuunn will be “Old Kl.ng Cole,” ong My Souvenirs,” “Seen My Lady Hdme Last Night,” from the musical show, “Funny Face.” ‘The setting for the True Story Hour will be in an icy wilderness in Montana. The “Half Hours with the Senate,” & weekly WRC and National Broadcasting System feature, will present tonight Secretary of Commerce Robert P. La- mont and Senator Lawrence C. Phipps of Colorado. OQutstanding among the network mu- siclalattractionscoming into Washington over WRC are the Cities Service Hour, the Schradertown Band and the weekly Evening in Paris episode. xflcphone solos by George Green will mark the Cities Service broadcast. He will play two of his own compositions, “Through the Wcods” and “Spanish Dance.” The Schradertown weekly “musi- comedy” will be devoted to the burning | problem of how far women’s rights should be allowed to go in this modern day and generation. Audrey Fern, a 9-year-old pianist, and M. Morgan Kiley, an old-time fiddler, will be heard from WOL this evening. There also will be the usual period of dinner music, and a_program of spirit- uals by Rev. W. S. Ephreum. Bill Thompson’s Champion Fiddlers and the Harmelody Boys are featured tonight by WJSV.

Housecleaning time is at hand, and housewives are asked to remember that discarded Winter garments will be wel- comed by the Near East Relief on the last bundle day of the organization, April 29. The appeal for clothing is made by Dr. J. Calvitt Clarke, regional director for the relief organization, with headquarters at 1334 Connecticut avenue. ‘The clothing is needed for children under care of the Near East Relief overseas for children in the refugee camps and also by many adults who have no other clothing except that given them by the relief organization.

FRIDAY, FEW RADIO KICKS NOW REGISTERED Secretary of Commission Says Complaints on Real- location Are Infrequent. BY MARTIN CODEL. Congressional complacency over the radio situation is being interpreteq to reflect & general sentiment in favor of the broadcasting reallocation, now nearly a half year in operation. Carl H. Butman, secretary of the defil’ll Radio Commission, says that nenrl; the complaints now being received from the listening public have to do with interferences traceable to other causes than radio itself, namely, to euc'.riully operated contrivances, from street cars to refrigerators. “Sore spots” still exist on the radio map, such as Iowa, where regional broadcasting services were curtailed un- der the November equalization plan. Radio listeners in dissatisfied regions, however, have either become inarticu- late from their loud vociferations of protest in the early stages of the change or else are awaiting technical adjust- ments promised by the commission. Moreover, the coming of Summer weather is having the usual seasonal effect of cutting down the distance ranges of most stations, and listeners must rely more upon their local sta- tions. Local reception from local sta- tions is almost invariably good where the stations are in good operating order. Admit Improvement. ‘The first week of the extra session of Congress was noteworthy for the lack of criticism it evoked toward the radio situation. Even Senator Dill and Rep- representative Davis, aggressive in their efforts to distribute radio more equi- tably, have admitted that considerable improvement was wrought by the re- allocation. Senator Dill now is in- clined to the belief that the zone and wPrescrlptlon He Wrote " in 1892 is the World’s Most Popular Laxative When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, back in 1875, | the needs for a laxative were 'not as great as, they are today. | People lived normal, quiet lives, |ate plain, wholesome food, and | got plenty of fresh air and sun- | shine. But even that early there | were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation | which Dr. Caldwell did not be- |lieve were good for human be- |ings to put into their system. So he wrote a prescription for a |laxative to be used by his pa- tients. | The preseription for constipa- |tion that he used early in his | practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup | Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable |remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and | they need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. | Under successful management !this prescription has proven its |worth and is now the largest |selling liquid laxative in the \world The fact that millions of bottles are used a year proves |that it has won the confidence |of people who needed it to get ‘rellef from headaches, bilious- Iness, flatulence, indigestion, loss | of appetite and sleep, bad breath, | dyspepsia, colds &nd fevers. AT AGE 83 Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and if you will once start using it you will also always have a bottle handy for emergencies. It is particularly pleasing to know that the most of it is! bought by mothers for them- selves and the children, though Syrup Pepsin is just as ‘valuable | for elderly people.
