He is hoping to interest at one time or another all the nobles of Almas, and particularly the ast potentates. There are also prob- fims to be solved, and one of them has been set forth in a highly ornate com- munication, a copy of which was re- cently sent to each noble. The cur- rent week will see the special bowling| tournament, open to all the nobles, and with handsome prizes for the winners. By opening its columns to advertising, he says, it has been found possible to issue the Alntas Alibi bimonthly, . so as to keep in closer touch with the entire membership, and a dining room in the new club house has been com- | pletely_equipped and is now ready for| use. The potentate has other matters| on his mind, which he promises to un- burden to the nobility when the time &nd place make it proper. Pentalpha Lodge, No. 23, wishing to| honor Grand Master James A.

The annual pound party for the benefit of the Little Sisters of AT with one thing or an- other—but mostly the Amer- ica’s Cup Races—September this year is a busy time on the networks, but next month, of course, will be the real sports spree. Besides foot ball, there will be the world series, and for around two weeks those of us who cover sports will be kept on the run. Last week I men- tioned that I'd have my first crack at a foot ball game on October 11, but I find that Ted Husing is going to be at it even sooner. Ted starts out, as many of you prob- ably already know, with the Army- Boston U. game on the 27th of thi month, follows it up with the Notre Dame-Southern Methodist affair on the 4th, and then breaks for a week to take on the series. And, of course, I suppose the breaks might make it pos- sible for him to get in & foot ball game on the 11th, too. Probably none of you who have never faced a microphone, with a lot of action going on out on a field in front of you, realize what a tough schedule that is. I won't pretend that there isn't a great kick to it—Ted will agree with me, I'm sure—but it's somewhat exhausting. No man in a state of re- laxed ease ever put across a microphone story. You've got to be on your toes every minute, or you just aren’t there. Ted has a schedule this Fall that cer- tainly will keep him hopping. Husing, by the way, wears the smoothiest sports clothes going. And he has a lot of fun adding just that extra little touch you can't ‘miss. When he is in his most exuberant moods he's likely to show it in his neckties. Bril- liant is no word for them. They fit his everyday personality exactly. When he’s on the mike it’s a different matter. Most of the time when he is broad- casting he puts on a poker face. The faster the action before him the more inscrutable he becomes. Ted, by the way, almost became a salesman before the mike got him. He still gets offers of sales jobs, too. . * K kX MAYB!the'll have it all fixed up by the time this appears in but Ray Perkins, the g(p;ld Tl)ppeg.qnl‘.; in a jam.

In fact, he thought it was grand. However, no sooner had the soft drink program ended than Ray signed up to take part in a program sponsored by another oil company. They sell good ::fl,l'w& l"d‘d Ray h;‘o‘d that if he is indorse any body’s product, it ought to be this one. » In the meantime, the first ofl com- pany still has his testimonial and pho- tograph, with Ray’s name signed on the dotted l1ime. It has, he sup- Doses, every intention of using them. ‘But how would it look?” he asks. The last I knew Ray was turning New York upside down ' trying to stop the publication of that testimonial, In the midst of this ix he wanders aboul the studious humming, of all things, that old ballad, “Would God I Were a Tender Apple Blossom.” Speaking of Perkins, it has always been a puzzle to me why the pianologue, once so popular in vaudeville, hasn't been used more on the air. Perkins uses a variety of it, with great success, but no one else regularly on the net- works is doing very much with it at present. Cleverly done, it's a “natur for a one-man act. The closest ap. proach to it is Phik Cook and his uku- iele. The instrument doesn’t make much difference; it's the manner in which comment, songs, events of the day and the musical accompaniment are all jumbled casually together. R THm are more close shaves in broadcasting than the listening public ever knows. A big storm in Chi- cago last Winter just missed keeping Amos and Andy off the air, and it would have if they hadn't been husky enough to plow through drifts like full- backs going through the line. Some of you will remember the humorist who arrived in little but a raincoat when his watch turned out to be slow. And then there was the time Jolly Bill Steinke slept clean through his early morning broadcast, leaving little Jane to_carry on by herself. But it was a long pair of legs that saved George Hicks once. George was at the studios, at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street, New York, and at eight minutes to 1 in the afternoon— this happened some months ago, but George is just admitting it—he realized that he had to announce B. A. Rolfe’s orchestra from the Palais d'Or, at Seventh avenue and Forth-eighth street, at 1 o'clock. George jumped into an elevator | which, by a miracle, arrived immediate- | ly, and sprinted through Fifty-fifth street toward Sixth avenue. Along came @ cab and George jumped on the run- ning board. Shouting to the driver to keep on going, he fished in his. pocket for change. Down the avenue they dashed, dodg- ing traffic and “L” pillars. At Forty- seventh street,'which was crowded with traffit, George dropped off the running board and sprinted for Seventh avenue. He reached it just as the luncheon crowds were thickest, only to realize that he had miscalculated and let him- self be carried a block too far down- town, The crowds on the sidewalk were too | thick for sprinting, so George took to | the gutter and headed for Forty-eighth street. There was a crack behind him, but he didn't stop to find out whether it was a tire blowout or a shot from a policeman’s pistol, With something less than a minute to go, George arrived in the crowded | restaurant, where Rolfe, all set to be- | gin, was in a dither of anxiety. | “This . , . puff,” said Hicks at the mike, “is B. A. ., ..puff ... puff ., Rolfe’s Palais . . . puff . .. d'Or Orches- tra,” and after that Rolfe played 20 minutes straight without an announce- ment. * K ok ok ‘This Summer a good many listeners have heard programs announced by Frank Singiser. Singiser is only on the | air during the Summer. During the rest of the year he is & theological student. As an announcer, he has but one fear—he dreads the inevitable day when his tongue will slip again and he'll pull another -“spoonerism.” -And he blamed Milt, Cross for it all. Singiser learned at to announce AUTOCRAT is an all. Pennsylvania oil, skillfully refined hy an organizatio of many years’ experienc ~whose first thought is to make AUTOCRAT the very best_that a motor oil can possibly be. Today’s faster motors, and higher heats, demand the protection and service that only an oil of exceptional quality can give you. “BEST OIL IN THE WORLD' o WGY, in Schenectady, and for months he never made a slip on the air. Aside from introducing programs presented in WGY's own studios, Singiser's duties included making the local station an- nouncements during network programs. One night he was standing at his mike, wearing headphones, through ! which he was listening for his cue to cut in and give his station call letters. The program was the A. & P, Gypsies, and the announeer was Milt Cross. Milt was going along swell until he trie to speak the name of the program, and then it came out “A. & P. Pipsies.” “Awk!" gasped Singiser, and before he could control himself enough to give his call letters the 15-second break had ended and Cross, reasonably calm, was going on_ with the program and pre- tending that nothing had happened. But since that day Singiser has had an insane urge, which sometimes gets the better of him, to reverse the initials or other letters of words he must speak. One night he tried to say he was pinch- hitting for Roxy, but the best he could do was “pitch hinting.” The worse was “witch hunting.” ©On occasion he has spoken of the next number on the program as the next onder.” And when he met Milt Cross for the first time he repaid him for the misery he had experienced as a result of the power of suggestion in Milt's “pipsies” by addressing him artlessly as “Mr. Moss! McNAMEE'S QUESTION * BOX Q. Can you tell me what has be- come of Norman Sweetser? Was he with the Fuller Brush program when it started—M. H. Myers, Pittsburgh, Pa. A. Sweetser is now boss of all pro- grams broadcast from the N. B. Cs Times Square studio.” Yes. He was with the Fuller program. Q. Do Rudy Vallee and his Connecti- cut Yankees play over the Columbia Broadcasting system, and when?—A. B. C, York, 8. C. A. No. Only for the National Broad- casting Co. You are probably confus- ing him with Will Osborne; their styles are similar. Q. What is the name of the harpist who plays in “In the Time of Roses” and the Studebaker hour?—E. B. Drake, ‘Washington, D. C. A. Joseph ‘Pizzo, very well known in New York musical circles, is the harpist in “In the Time of Roses” but the Studebaker program, featuring Jean Goldkette’s Orchestra, comes from Chi- cago. I have been unable do learn the name of Goldkette's harpist. Q. Can you tell me where Jesse Craw- ford was born?—R. N. N, Baltimore, Md. A. His birthplace does not seem to be on record, but he was brought up in an orphanage at Woodland, Calif., and it was there that he learned to play the piano. When he left the orphanage, in his ’teens, he spent three years as 8 rio player in movie houses and then threw up his job to study the organ, He made his name as a theater organist in Chicago before going to New York. The present Mrs. Crawford was organist in & rival theater when he met her. They have a daughter 5 years old. . Is Leslie Frick, the contralto, & bkgxde or a brunette?—M. T, Fort Worth, Tex. A. She is a blonde. Incidentally, since she has been studying in Paris this Summer, she declares that she has had her voice “lifted.” I take it she is Now a mezzo-Soprano. Q. Is Kathleen Stewart, the pianist, married?—Mrs. C. O. Harvey, Chester, Pa. A. No. Q. Why are the chimes necessary in network programs?—Jerry Bell, Lake Charles, La. A. They are the only foolproof cue yet discovered for advising announcers of network stations that there will be a break in the network program to allow them to give their station call letters. Verbal cues leave too much chance for misinterpretation and a sin- gle musical note might not be heard. * Q. Who plays the Swede in the Tasty Yeast Jesters?—Art Dorrance, Cairo, Ill. A. Wamp Carleton. It's his first net- work program, Q. Are the Crockett Mountaineers really from the mountains? They sound too assured to be real.—Marion D., Utica, N, Y. A. They really come from the Ken- tucky mountains, but they have spent several years in vaudeville. That's enough to knock off the rough spots, but they still give authentic interpre. tations. Q. Can you tell me the address of Rudy Vallee?—Miss L. S., Omaha, Nebr. A. Letters addressed to the station through which you hear him will reach him, Q. Who was the Silver-Masked Tenor and was he Irish?>—The Judd family, Oshawa, Ontario, A. His name is Joe White and is of Irish descent, He has been on the net- works fairly often lately and I am sur- prised you haven't run across him. He specialized in ballad numbers. Q. Who was the Love-Story Girl in Collier’s last season?—P. C., Port Crane, N. . Y. A. Lucille Wall. T understand she is to have the same part again this year, although I haven’t definite confirmation yet. Q. Who pays the cost of broadcasting sports events?—H. G., Ansonia, Conn. A. Ordinarily the cost is assumed by the broadcasting companies, although the Indianapolis Speedway races and some prize fights have been sponsored. Sponsorship of these events is becoming less-frequent. Q. Does Floyd Gibbons always talk as fast as he does on the air?—Herbert Sanford, Phoenix, Md. A. Not quite. I think it was nervous- ness that caused him to speak so rapidly when he first began to broadcast and now I don't think he could slow up if he tried. Ted Husing is another verbal speedster. (Copyright, 1930.) Origin of a Great Name. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, was once asked: “How did you come to fix on that par- ticular name for your detective?” “Why,” he said, “Holmes came to me at once, but I owe his first Christian name to cricket. I simply couldn’t think of a suitable name until one day, playing with an amateur team against the M. C. C, I had the luck to score 30 off the bowling of a man named Sherlock. That decided me—and Sher- lock Holmes it was.” Nothing is more important than thorough lubrication.

Gen. Anton Stephan commanding the local Militia Brigade, and the 29th Nation: Guard Division, comprising the citi- zen troops of this city and the States of Virginia and Maryland, presented commissions to those who successfully passed the recent examinations for promotion from the enlisted ranks to | second Heutenants in this branch of the service. It is the practice of the Guard, re- cently inaugurated, to make formal ceremonies out of not only presentations | of commissions to officers, but to en- listed men whenever they receive med- als for length of service or for marks- manship. 4 The school term is on for officers and | men of the National Guard. and from now until the beginning of the encamp- ment season courses will be provided not only for officer personnel, but for en- listed men desiring to seek promotion in | the upper grades. Not only are corre- | spondence courses provided, but mem- bers of the National Guard are allowed to go to Regular service schools for cer- tain periods, and many of them seek these assignments. In addition to these courses, maintained by the Army, the local organizations maintain their own schools for enlisted men, one of the most successful ones last year being that for cooks, bakers and supply ser- geants. An announcement from the 3d Corps Area headquarters, in Baltimore, under the control of which comes the troops of this city and the States of Virginia, Pennsylvania and Matyland, says that cooks and bakers, doctors and dentists, veterinarians and horseshoers, aviators and doughboys, chemists and mechan- ics, all find courses in the Army school system for their training. It was fur- ther pointed out that military educa- tion now is so intensive that it may be truly said of the personnel that they are going to school, returning from school or preparing to go to school. There are the regular post or garrison schools, the special service schools, the ol and and general staff school, the Army War College and the United States Military Academy at West Point. Army school courses are given at the following places, which are located with- in the 3d Corps Area: In Virginia, at Langley Field, Fort Monroe and Fort Humphre; In Maryland, at Edgewood Arsenal, Aberdeen, Camp Holabird and Fort George G.

The attendance should be increased, it was sald, and it was added that the marked improve- ment in training efficlency shown by or- ganizations that have officers who have successfully completed courses at such schools, particularly at branch schools, clearly demons the extreme de- sirability of sending to those schools as many officers as possible. Accord- inglyh:ncreued appropriations are being sought. Increased attendance at armory drills and fleld training camps continues, it was said, and has been noticeable in the past two years, especially the at- tendance at the S ing camps. It was pointed out, howeéver, that future appropriations must meet this increase, otherwise the number of armory drills and the period of fleld training must be curtailed. The bu- reau pointed out that to do either of these would be very discouraging and highly detrimental to the morale. ‘The Militia Bureau reports that it is thoroughly studying the subject of the status of officers in the National Guard Reserve and, in communication with stal no practical means for increasing eflg:lelm:y.m 4 . - niess there is some appropriate ac. tion taken by the various State <horities to maintain the military clency of the enlisted men of the Ni tional Guard Reserve, the bureau says, it is evident that it cannot be depended upon as a reliable body of men ready for use in time of either a State or National emergeney. The Militia Bureau says that fol- lowing the policy practiced during the |last three years of primarily grounding | the National Guard in fundamentals |of basic training, provision has been {made for advancing toward - other | pha: The National Guard contin. uss to progress both in the planning |and the execution of training. the bu- reau rep Although it says that | there is still room for further improve- | ment, the general state of National ! Guard training has never been better | than it is at present. | _The requirements of the National Guard training directive, which pre. scribes the training objective and th methods of attaining this objective have been followed generally through- out the National Guard. Local condie tions and varying facilities have cat various degrees of proficiency to be ate tained. On the whole, the bureau adds, the armory training has continued to improve and as a result the National Guard has gone to its two weeks of field training better prepared to take advantage of that culminating period of field training. The bur:au says that the effect of better armory training has been gen- erally apparent in the improved field training. Improvement was noticeable both in the planning and the execution of field work done by the National Guard. The shortage of horses for mounted and horse-drawn organizations still necessitates the pooling of animals for field training, although the situation has been slightly improved, due to the purchase of a number of animals which have been used to replace others wz?;;: olul k1:\ 'the| &e{;fice.

A number of the States, it was pointed out, have made a thorough investigation of the officer nnel under their jurisdiction, and discharged many who were not desired for reten- tion for various reasons. It was said that notwithstanding the discharge of several hundred officers, the result has been a net increase in National Guard Reserve as a whole. Pending legislation, the Militia Bu- reau_is continuing its consideration of the Reserve with a view to taking such administrative action as may be feasj- ble to increase ‘its efficiency. The studies being made include the question of the assignment of officers to active organizations of the Guard to fill po- sitions authorized by the war tables of organization. It is believed that the making of an increased number of such assignments will stimulate and develop the interest of Guard Reserve officers in military matters and have a tendency to increase their efficiency and dependability as a Reserve force to a considerable extent over what exists at the present time. The department points out that the national defense act authorizes officers and enlisted men in the National Guard Reserve, but does not authorize warrant officers. However, the bureau extends Federal recognition to warrant officers as bandleaders only in the ac- tive National Guard. National Guard regulations govern the action of the State authorities in these and allied subjects concerning enlisted men of the Guard Reserve, it was pointed out. The bureau com- ments that from time to time it has been necessary to recommend changes to the regulations, but their provisions are in actual operation in most of the States, as @ majority of them maintain an enlisted force in the Reserve. The assignment of such men to active po- sitions authorized by the war-strength tables of organization has been carried out to a limited extent, but it is said that a large number of men remained un- assigned. As in the case of officers of the Na- tional Guard Reserve, the bureau be- lieves that the interest of the enlisted personnel in military matters can best 7:30 o'clo:kh.‘hll uite ', Doree Monday and elected the cers: ;P‘!culdenthnll}nhx Hicks, e pres| atherine s a; 3 Kohman, Battery Park; treasurer, riam Pasma, Rockville; chairman gram Committee, Battery Park, and ment Pauline g ul Pariseau, chairman Entertaine Committee, Mary Nicholson, Rockville, After the business meeting, members of the club went to Washing- ton to visit the collection of keyboard instruments at the National Museum and the music division of the of Congress. b e ‘The Community Center Band, James E.
