THE throb on air and ether of the great Westminster Clock of England . . . "The King's life is moving peacefully towards its close."The shades in a life have lengthened, the evening come. The busy world hushed, the fever of life over. A safe lodging, a holy rest,

ere we laid him to rest where only Kings may lie. And now our thoughts hover round the Queen he loved. Cannot she, and we, turn this-our important sadness-into deep thanksgiving for an honourable life of duty, finely lived ? Out of the past come memories : "Victoriathe Good," "Edward the Peacemaker." And now-shall it be-"George the Home -lover," the "Head of this Gieat Family," as hehimself so loved to say ? Thus shall there be a solemn joy in the homesteads of Realm and Empire for the life of a Father who loved allchildren. "Requiescat," we whisper : "May he rest !

The scene outside BuckinghamPalace just after midnight whenthe tragic news was announcedand (inset) Sir John Reith whogave the poignant message to

a waiting world

The SADDEST NIGHTat BROADCASTING HOUSEHow the Fateful News of the King's Death Reached the B.B.C.

By KENNETH BAILYHE night of January 20, 1936, will go down in the annals ofthe B.B.C. as an historic and moving occasion.

For five tense hours broadcasting, the Voice of the Nation,passed through the emotional task of telling the people of the passingof their monarch, King George V of England.

Never before in its history had the B.B.C. shouldered such a res-ponsibility. All that happened at Broadcasting House that nightset a precedent, which, by the Grace of God, may there be no causeto repeat for many a year. . . .

I entered Broadcasting House at seven o'clock. I went to hear a Musicof the Movies programme. At that hour the evening's programmes wererunning normally. A variety programme was to follow, and the usual dancemusic 1 ater.

But at Sandringham, a king's heart was weakening, and over thetelephone wires came news to change the normal atmosphere ofbroadcasting's headquarters.

After the Music of the Movies the bulletin : "The King's condition showsdiminishing strength," was read by Mr. Stuart Hibberd in the news studio.

The Vital ChangeA moment later I met Eric Maschwitz, grave of face, hurrying to confer

with E. J. King -Bull, who, in charge of "Presentation" that night, held thepower to change the programmes to suit the saddening mood of the nation.

Suddenly, from Mr. King -Bull's room, telephone messages flashed downto the studios : " The variety and dance music must be abandoned. Insteadthe Variety Orchestra must play a programme of music."

Actually, Sir John Reith himself was in conference with Mr. King -Bull,by telephone from the Langham Hotel, across the road, where he was stayingthe night instead of going to his home at Beaconsfield.

In the four rooms of the News Department the tape machines were tickingceaselessly, watched over by News Editor Coatman and his staff, anxiouslyawaiting further fateful news from Sandringham.

The great newspaper offices in Fleet Street were continuously telephoningB.B.C.'s Press Department, asking what was going to happen to the morrow'sprogrammes.

At 9.20 the News Editor of the Press Association personally tele-phoned Mr. Coatman: " The King's life is moving peacefully to itsclose."

An Ominous SilenceSir John Reith left his hotel hurriedly. He went to Mr. King -Bull's room.

A minute later was received the command to stop the Variety Orchestraplaying. The Regional programme faded out . . . silence. A silence that wasominous to the listening millions.

Silence, too, fell like a cloak on Broadcasting House. Everywhere I wentthere was an awful tenseness. Commissionaires and page boys stood at theirposts, uneasy, grave of face.

Sir Stephen Tallents, the Public Relations Officer, sat in a small officeon the ground floor, personally supervising the answering of the telephonecalls from newspapers.

Many of the artists who had arrived to give the variety programmes hadnow settled down in the Listening Room to hear the bulletins.

At 9.37 Mr. Hibberd entered the little news studio, and with a calmness

that was magnificent in one whose task it was to tell a nation that its Kinglay dying, read the bulletin.

Sir John Reith and Mr. Coatman had a hurried discussion, and decidedthat Mr. Hibberd should read it at every hour's quarter.

Up in the control room on the top floor, engineers had spoken to everyprovincial B.B.C. station passing on Sir John's order: "Fade out all pro-grammes, and ' line-up' for the bulletins."

Radio's entertainment had ceased. Everywhere-at Droitwich, onsnow -clad Moorside Edge, under the wintry shadow of the Scottishmountains-the lofty B.B.C. aerials swung in the blackness of thenight, performing their tragic service....

Sir John Reith had now taken up quarters in his own room. He wasprepared for a vigil that might last throughout the night.

Girls in the B.B.C. telephone exchange were busy answering anxious -voiced listeners who wanted to know if the B.B.C. had heard anything laterthan the official bulletin.

Half a dozen sleepy-eyed girls waited to type out and duplicate announce-ments for the newspapers giving details of the B.B.C.'s procedure on themorrow.

Awaiting the BulletinThe Listening Room was now crowded. People were sitting on the floor,

awaiting each bulletin, while, in between time, the ominous tick-tock of theinterval signal reverberated on the very walls, so deep was the silence.Charles Brewer, Felix Felton, Peter Creswell, engineers, balance and controlmen, the Variety Orchestra, waitresses and porters had all been drawnthere. Broadcasting House stbod, a pile of empty studios and offices, denudedof all human movement ...

Still, every fifteen minutes Mr. Hibberd entered the news studio to performthe task that had, in a few hours, become a solemn rite . . .

At 11.55 he was preparing to read the bulletin once again. But a privatetelephone message to Sir John Reith made him pause. He did not read thebulletin, for Sir John had heard Sandringham's sad and final news.

Visibly moved, the Director General retired to prepare the words he hadpersonally chosen to utter to the waiting world.

Sir John's Sad TaskMr. Coatman's telephone rang. With heavy hand he slowly

lifted the earpiece. It was the official bulletin:" Death came peacefully to the King at 11.55 to -night in the

presence of her Majesty the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Dukeof York, the Princess Royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Kent."For a moment the small group of officials in the room stood motionless.

And then Mr. Coatman stirred, and Sir John, his tall, slight form bent withthe weight of his task, walked in to the little news studio.

He sat down simply at the desk. The microphone, inhuman, cold, a pieceof machinery, thrust itself out before his lips. And slowly he said to anether, which at that moment seemed overfull with listening:

" It is with great sorrow that we make the following announce-ment. His Majesty the King passed peacefully away a few minutesbefore twelve. The man we loved as King has passed from ourmidst. We voice the grief of the peoples of his Empire. We offerprofound sympathy to her Majesty the Queen and the RoyalFamily."

Getting TogetherJUST when the commentators are returning

from Garmisch, a big party will be leavingthe .B.B.C. for Paris. Sir Noel Ashbridge, Mr.Cecil Graves, Miss Benzie, and others are going toattend the first inter -Continental meeting ofbroadcasters. With our all -wave set we canpretty well hear the world, and we are told thatthere will be a lot more at the exhibition this year.Broadcasters are preparing for the new vogue.For years they have been meeting to discuss theproblems of European broadcasting, now they aregetting together on a world basis. Australiansstarted weeks ago in order to be in Paris on time,and the South American broad-casters are on the South Atlantic.

Television News" rrHE self-confidence of the

1 ordinary English flapper simplyamazes me," said Gerald Cock, dis-cussing the applications he is hand-ling for the television announcer'sjob, and he should know. Hishostess must be a good -looker, too,ready to take a turn in the studiowhen the regular girl is resting orchanging her clothes. But thetelevision director does not intendus to tire of beauty. Just as wethink we are getting to know thegirl, the picture will dissolve and weshall be faced with the ruggedfeatures of the male announcer.How tantalising ! Then about redhair; Gerald Cock makes it clear thatauburn actresses will not be banned.

Certain tints present a problem, andhe did not see the point of engaging asregular announcer a girl with hairwhich was off-colour for the televisor.We had wondered about colouredgentlemen. They televise well, heassures us, and there will be at least anhour of variety every day ! Picturesat first will be as good as, but nobetter than, a home cinematograph.

Good for IrelandWHILE

there is all this fuss inEngland about a woman announ-

cer, Ireland appoints a man,' JohnIVIacDonagh, in place of the lady whorecently resigned. Perhaps she feltthat she could not compete with thegiant voice of Lisburn which comes onthe air next month across the border.Fifty times more powerful thanBelfast, this new B.B.C. transmitterwill make a big difference to listenersin Erin. Tuning to Athlone you mayhear other fresh voices, for there aretwo new announcers besides JohnMcDonagh.

And the Band LaughedERIC MASCHWITZ is about six

feet four. We met him outsidethe B.B.C. the other day and foundhim one long ache. We asked thecause. It appears he was in thevariety studio and tried to save timeby jumping either on to, or off from,the platform (we forget which he said).Anyhow, he tripped up, fell headlonginto the orchestra, and eventuallylanded amongst a number of violincases. Fortunately, not the violins.He said he never heard a band laughmore. The biggest laugh of the season.When we saw Eric the bruises werebeginning to come out --and it didn'tseem such a joke !

Interfering CatWENT

to Waterloo to meet a broadcaster justback from Radio Normandie, and he told

how a cat caused a small fire at the transmitter.Seems he regards all cats as unlucky and was nottoo pleased to find one around the studios beforehis show. Pussy disappeared, and in a few minutesalarm was raised for a small fire. Wanderingabout, the cat had strayed unnoticed past thedanger notice into the transmitting -room andwas quickly mixed up with some high -voltagegear. The short circuit caused a fire, which wassoon put out ; but poor pussy will stray no more.Broadcasting stations must have a fatal fascina-tion for cats. Much the same thing happenedthree years ago at Moorside Edge, where pussstepped negligently on 10,000 volts. BrookmansPark was once put out of action by a bird.

FROM MY NOTEBOOKCommander Stephen King -

Hall feels that one can have toomuch of a good thing, and thatwe have hod enough of his" News Motto." As he likeswriting in Radio Pictorial andwe like having hail, he hassuggested a new fortnightlyfeature which he calls " FromMy Notebook." Here you willsee how his mind works whenhe is collecting notes andinformation for use in his

broadcast talks.

TAKE it or leave it," said theJapanese, as they got ready towalk out of the Naval Conference

in London a fortnight ago. The othersconcerned left it. It all came aboutbecause the Japanese wanted a Navy asstrong as that of any other Power. Butthe Americans said " No sir ! " andit didn't appear such a good idea to theBritish either for that matter. Thejob of the Conference was to reach a newagreement which would say how strongthe navies of the five principal navalPowers should be. When the Japanesewalked out the other delegates, that isthe Americans, the British, the Frenchand the Italians, decided to carry on bythemselves and see whether they couldn'tcome to some arrangement. Meanwhilethe Japanese are content to look on.A Hatchet has been Buried in China.

Grave diggers : (1) General ChiangKai-Shek, Prime Minister and strongman of China, (2) Mr. Hu Han -min, bignoise of Canton, in Southern China.The hatchet was both a political and apersonal one. Now Mr, Hu has decidedto accept a job in the Chinese CentralGovernment at Nanking (in the North)and so bring the quarrel between himselfand the General to an end. This meansthat North and South China should nowbe able to work as one team, which maymake things easier for the Chinese whendealing with Japanese demands for morecontrol over China.

In thinking of Japanese ambitions inChina remember the Chinese saying" He who rides the tiger cannot dis-mount." One day the tiger may turnround and eat up his Japanese rider.

THE VOICE WHICH CAME BACK !Studio Small Talk by Nerina Shute

HAVE discovered a very useful man. I was in a B.B.C. studio, listening to him

sing. Harry Pepper was pulling my legunmercifully, and saying: "You must meet him.I know you will fall in love with him. Everywoman does." Well, this man is a famous singerand you all know his name. We had a long talk.Then I discovered to my surprise that he is also afilm agent. And he is looking for talent.

The man I am talking about is Paul England.Last week he said : " I got into the film business

more or less by accident. I am film manager toCary Graft, and also to Jack Hylton. But I amvery interested in unknown people with talent.I have found jobs in British studios for severalunknown girls. If you know of anybody with realtalent, either men or women, please send them tome."

So there's a chance for you.If you want to get in touch with Paul England,

just write to me. But don't bother him, please,unless you have real talent.

Paul England, as you know, has been broad-casting ever since the B.B.C. came into being.A veteran.

" I went to Hollywood," he said, " because I hadtrouble with my throat and lost my singing voicecompletely. It was quite a tragedy. I thoughtI should never sing again.

I said : " What were you doing in Hollywood ?"Oh," said Paul, casually, "I wrote a lot of

scenarios and sold them. And then I discoveredPat Paterson, you know, and fixed her up with anice contract. It's a pity about Pat. Now thatshe's married to Charles Boyer, the famous actor,I don't suppose she will do much work herself.And yet she's a marvellous little artist !"

Of course, Paul has got over the trouble with histhroat. His love songs are now as soulful as ever.And he says he is hoping to make a real come -backand do a bit of stage work as well as broadcasting.

" Look here," he said to me, "can't you write asort of sob -story about the Voice Which CameBack ? "

" Well, I could," I told him. " But I know whatwill interest my readers much more than that.You're a film agent ! If I tell them about it,I expect there will be dozens of letters asking youfor work !"

Last week was lucky. First, I met Paul, andthen I was introduced for the first time to theRadio Three-Kay Cavendish, Ann Canning, andJoy Worth.

Kay Cavendish is the spokesman." I don't know how much money we make," she

said, " but nowadays we are getting so much workthat we are all of us feeling rather tired. A goodweek brings us about a hundred pounds. A badweek brings us about fifty pounds.

Then Miss Canning put in a word."We really ought to find out," she said, "how

much money we are making. What about ourincome-tax ?"

Pretty Kay Cavendish (very English-lo:Adngand rather like a tennis champion) is actually avery serious young pianist. She prides herself onhaving played at the Queen's Hall. " But there'sno money to be made out of serious music," shesaid. " The luckiest day in my life was when I metJoy Worth and Ann Canning. We started croon-ing together about a year ago. And now-well,we're doing pretty well, aren't we ?"

It seems that Kay Cavendish arranges the-music for the Radio Three, while Ann Canning isthe business manager and Joy Worth is the libra-rian and attends to all the fan mail.

Ann Canning is dark and rather quiet, and looksa bit like a distinguished schoolmistress (a veryattractive schoolmistress). Joy Worth is knownas "The Red Head," and looks rather like anAmerican film -star.

But these three girls are fascinating to meet.Very gay. They seem to look upon their successas something very surprising and wonderful.They are not in the least conceited.

Their latest enterprise is a special microphonewhich they have bought out of their earnings.

" It's a tiny little thing," said Kay Cavendishproudly, " the size of an egg. But it's terriblyexpensive. Somewhere in the hundreds ! Andthe point is it's wonderfully sensitive, not like anordinary microphone, and it doesn't matter wherewe stand when we're using it ! So we bought itas an investment !"

They receive at least thirty fan letters everyweek, and no wonder.

Superstitious ?HENRY

HALL'S life seems to be governed bythe number thirteen. Everything connected

with his first film, Music Hath Charms, refers eitherto 13 or twice 13. The negotiations began on the13th day of the month and it took 26 weeks tocomplete the filming. The contract was signed on

radio listeners to know

XACTLY three years ago,I wrote : " It may interest

that Arthur Tracy (The StreetSinger), who sang in the firstAmerican programme broadcastto this country, has recorded asong called ' Marta' for Pana-chord."

That sounds funny now, but itwas actually the first whisper ofthe applause that greets theopening bars of "Marta" when-ever and wherever Arthur Tracysings in public. That record(subsequently issued as DeccaF5608) had a meteoric career inthis country from the start;The Street Singer became afavourite even though we hadonly had a glimpse of him inBing Crosby's first film, The BigBroadcast, a year later; and whenhe came over here last year tomake our personal acquaintancehe found his audiences as fullyprepared to welcome him throughhis records as did Galli-Curci

" CHRISTOPHERSTONE CALLING ft

when she made her Londondebut.

He is still with us, for moneyno longer means much to him,and he wanted to postpone hisoverdue return to America tillhe had finished the film writtenround his personality for HerbertWilcox Productions.

At the first showing of Lime-light the other evening he wasdelighted; and all over thecountry, people will be equallydelighted when they get theopportunity of seeing and hear-ing him in the romantic stageand back -stage scenes of Lime-light, singing "The WhistlingWaltz," " Stranded," " We WereMeant to Meet Again," and theother numbers which Geraldo'sOrchestra accompanies.

Geraldo makes a brilliantthumb -nail sketch of a small

part and Anna Neagle, beautifulsister of Stuart Robertson, doeswhat she can with a part thatis hardly worthy of her. Theodd thing is that though she isStuart Robertson's sister-orbecause she is-she is almost tooshy to sing at all; especially oddbecause she has a charmingvoice. I shall never forgetwatching her make her first

record-of the songs from herfilm, Little Damozel-in theH.M.V. studios. Her deter-mination to overcome anobviously paralytic fear of themicrophone was as deliciousas everything she does. Butthat was nearly three yearsago.

In the Betox programme fromRadio -Luxembourg on Sundayafternoon, I hope to include thenew record of an operatic star,Lily Pons, whom I have onlyknown through her records tillI saw her film, I Dream TooMuch, the other day. My good-ness, what a grand little actressshe is, and what an absolutelyfirst-rate musical screen -playshe and Henry Fonda have made-beautifully directed andphotographed and recorded.Don't miss this on any accountwhen it comes your way.

The songs written by DorothyFields and composed by JeromeKern are capital. My mascotWhoopee stirred in his leatherbag in my waistcoat pocket atthe last scene and the song of themerry-go-round.

He knows everything and hestill wants to dance.

We hear there is acunning blend of music, mirth and thrills. TeddyJoyce and his band and Clay's wife, Gladys, arestarring in what should be a great show. By theway, the film of Charing Cross Road has just beenreleased, Clay tells me.

LITTLE MOSES.In Enthralling Short Story of Mother Lo))e

IT was a dreadful night. When I camehome from my day's work my coat washeavy with half -melted snow, while thecold was of that penetrating kind which

is the inevitable accompaniment of a thaw.The wind raged, moaned, whistled; every doorin my flat shook.

I was half an hour lighting my fire, laid bya charwoman who knew that she would be wellaway before it was needed; for it was one ofthose soul-destroying periods during whichI was once again without a servant. Even afterit did catch, it burned in a half-hearted way,filled the room with smoke. The chimneyneeded sweeping, but how was that possiblewith no one whom I could trust to clear upafter the sweep ?

By the time I was able to change my wet thingsI was shivering; and then, to add to everything,the hall door -bell rang; at first timidly, then moreboldly, again and again. It was no good trying toignore it, I slipped into a dressing -gown and wentto the door, furiously resentful.

An icy wind swept along the hallway and passage.For a moment I could see nothing. " Well-well ? "I began impatiently. Then a small voice said," Please, miss, it's Annie."

If it had been an angel from Heaven I could nothave felt more delighted, for Annie was the oneperfect, absolutely perfect, servant I had everpossessed. She ruled me, oh yes, she ruled me;but how good she had been to me, how she lookedafter me if I was ill, how beautifully she kept theflat; above all, how she cooked for me, fed me !How comfortable, how peaceful, how envied mylife had been. I never realised one-half of whatI owed to her, until she left me, rather suddenly,rather vaguely, to be married.

I remember suggesting that she should bemarried from my flat, and how surprised I waswhen she said that her people would be hurt ifshe did not go to them for the ceremony.

I had never even known that she had anypeople-perhaps this had been part of her unfailingblessedness, that she never talked of herself, herown affairs. I did not even know anything abouther young man, how or where she spent her rareafternoons off, and I reproached myself for thisafter she left, growing slowly conscious of my ownselfishness.

" Annie ! Oh, Annie, how glad I am to see you!I have no servant, the place is like a pigsty, butcome in. Only to -day I was thinking of you "-didn't I always think of her when anything wentwrong ?-" wondering where you were all thistime : more than a year, isn't it? More thana year, and, yet, I've never got really settledsince "

The fire was sulking to its death. But in amoment Annie was on her knees with an oldnewspaper held up before it-then there was thattrick she had with the poker-in a couple ofminutes it was blazing as though it really enjoyedlife. " Have you had your tea, miss? No, I thoughtas much ! You sit down there and I'll get it foryou. Don't you worry, I've not forgotten my wayabout."

I lay back in my chair; it was as though Heavenhad opened down upon me. She was not gone formore than five minutes, I would give my word forit, and yet there was hot buttered toast and thatwonderful aroma about the tea. I had dropped tothe hearth -rug to warm my back, and it was allI could do not to lay my head against her knees,like a dog-I, who had always prided myself uponkeeping my servants-including this one-intheir places !

I made her fetch another cup and have her teawith me.

She sat on the very edge of the chair in her old

respectful manner and stirred her tea gravely, herlittle finger quirked.

"Oh, Annie," I said, falling over myself in myjoy, "isn't it just like old times ? " She had neverhad her tea in the sitting -room with me before,but that was the way in which I felt.

For a moment she glanced up at me verygravely. " The same to you-perhaps," she said,then the corners of her mouth twitched, andsuddenly, putting down her cup, she propped herelbows on her knees, dropped her face betweenher hands and began to cry very softly, with aninexpressively pathetic effort of respectful self-control.

I have not told you what she was like. One ofmy friends had always called her " Mary," becauseof the song-" Kind, kind, and gentle is she, kindis my Mary." Well, that expressed her as well asanything. Add to this the fact that she was smalland soft and plumpish, with soft brown hair whichlay in the neatest, the crispest of crinks, with acreamy skin, the most beautiful brown eyesimaginable, and you have my Annie-as she wasthen.

But now Even in the midst of my fatuousdelight at seeing her once more upon my thresholdI had noticed her thinness, her pallor, the worn,poverty-stricken look of her insufficient -lookingblue coat and skirt; while, at this moment, forthe first time, I realised a wisp of crepe tied, asthough hurriedly, around her arm.

" Annie !" I leaned forward in my chair andtouched her shoulder. At that she slid to the floorand lay there, her face buried upon the cushion ofthe chair where she had been sitting. " Annie, dearAnnie, poor Annie-tell me, you're in some dread-ful trouble? Tell me-try to tell me, perhaps I canhelp you."

I saw her shake her head at this, but it was sometime before she raised it and looked at me, herpoor little face all ravaged and drawn. " Please,miss" --oh, the pathos of that, as if it matteredwhether I did or did not please !-" you know-you heard of the-the-the Spanish Queen ?" shewhispered.

Did I not know? Why, the misery of my home-coming had been augmented by the dense depres-sion of the day, during which I had thought oflittle else. How was it possible that I could haveforgotten the Spanish Queen-over toast and tea 1

T was ashamed of myself, and yet during the1 previous eight hours, ever since I opened themorning papers, I had been overwhelmed with thethought of that steamer, laden with passengers,torpedoed within half a mile of Holyhead towardsmidnight the night before-the coldest night ofthe whole year.

" You " I began, too horrified to frame thequestion.

"I and 'im-my husband-my little baby."There was a long silence. Then she seemed to

pull herself together, sat back on her heels likea child, gazing straight in front of her witha dreadful expression of cold, set misery.

" I was feeling a bit queer, and I was on deckwith 'im; baby was asleep in the corner of oneo' the couches in the ladies' saloon. It was bittercold, but quite calm-the sea like glass. Thething-that thing as they fire-came all sudden -like at us; it was as if it went right through me-through me-myself-the shock and all-awful !It seemed from the way the boat turned, like asif, at the very last moment some'un 'ad seen it

backwards an' forwards, runnin' an' callin' out,with no reason so to speak. I grabbed 'old of myhusband's arm, then I gave him a push away.' The baby,' I said-' Oh, my baby !'-like that.He went away into the crowd and I tried to follow'im, but the people pushed me this way an' that-there was firm' o' guns goin' on all the time, andthe shriekin' ! One's 'eard children cryin' outafore, but grown-up people !

" I shall never forget it, never, never, never Thedreadful noise an' confusion an' all, an' notknowin' where we was, what ter do. Tly.y gotthe boats out. I was pinned up against the rail andone o' the sailors grabbed 'old o' me. ' In yer go,''e said, an' slipped a bit o' rope round me an'under my arms. I shouted out how I couldn'tbecause o' my husband and my baby; ughtin' likea mad woman I was. But he bested me. He saidit was all right, they'd come in a moment, he'dtell 'em I was gone. Kind, 'e was, I don't denythat, kind as kind ; though now, with things asthey are, I'd rather one o' them there soldiers 'ad'eld a pistol ter me 'ead.

We was down in the boat, safe-well, half safe,V for all the while they was firing at us-when I

sees my husband come to the rail o' the steamerwith the baby-my darling baby-in 'is arms.There was another boat just below 'im, not ours,an' I called out to 'im ter jump. ' For God's sakejump !' I said." Once again she paused, twistingher gloves to a tight rope between her fingers,quite dry-eyed. " If only she were to cry," Ithought; for anything would have been betterthan that look of utter, engrained despair.

" Well, he jumped," she said at last, so calmlythat the thought occurred to me, 'She has feltso much that she is incapable of feeling anythingmore.' " But the boat below turned over witha shot in her side, they was shellin' us all the time,you see "-she was right there, that was a partof the deviltry of the whole thing, explained theloss of at least half the lives-" turned over justat the very moment as 'e jumped, an' he droppedinter the water, almost under my very eyes as itwere-'im an' the baby, my baby, my precious,precious baby, as nothing was ever too good for !"

"How old was it, Annie ? " I don't know whyI asked such a question, it was one of thoseirrelevant things one does when one is consciousof the awful inadequacy of words.

"Three months old, leastways 'e would 'avebeen three months old this very day-if 'e'd lived."

She did not look at me, at anything in themeretriciously gay little room ; her head and eyeswere raised, straining upwards, her whole expres-sion convinced me that she actually visualised,once again, the fatal leap of the man with the childin his arms; while so vivid was the impressionthat, when she dropped her head again, staring atthe carpet, I, myself, seemed driven to follow hergaze into that momentary, swirling vacuum ofgreen water.

"A steamer picked us up an' I got ter Holyheadall right. They was all very kind ter me, theywanted me ter stay. But I couldn't bide quietthere, I couldn't bide anywhere ! I felt as I mustcome down 'ere-as if I was drawn-back ter theonly real 'ome as ever I 'ad-before I wasmarried."

" Your own people, Annie ? ""They slighted 'im, an' I wouldn't go near 'em

again, not fur the world-not, not, not if I wasever so " She cried fiercely, then smoothedout her gloves, cotton now where they alwaysused to be kid-the only suspicion I had ever hadof Annie was in connection with my gloves.

Annie found Baby George deserted. She adopted him, lavished every care on the wee mite and no oneknew that she was living a lie. But it was a lie of which she was proud. Every mother will respond to

the tender pathos of this brilliant short story.

an' work an' all. But I'll be movin' on now, ifyou please, miss, unless so be you'd let me stayan' get yer supper for you."

" Stay, Annie ! Why, of course you'll stay;now, and always, I hope. You were right to come;this is your home, your real, proper home "

" If you think that I could make you comfortable,miss," faltered Annie; her head drooped, herbeautiful brown eyes raised to mine.

" Make me comfortable !" I repeated, halfangrily, shamed with the memory of my oldselfishness. " Annie-Annie, do you never thinkof yourself? What does it matter about mycomfort if only, only I can make up to you a little,ever so little for what you have suffered."

For three days I lived in a sort of chastenedHeaven. It was infinitely pathetic to find

how, with all her grief, Annie never, never fora single moment, forgot any one of my needs, myold fads and fancies. It seemed that my fur laysmooth for the first time for months, and really,really, I do believe that I thought of her more thanmyself.

Then on the fourth day I came home and foundthe flat empty. It was evident that Annie hadnot been very long gone, for the fires were stillburning brightly in the sitting -room and kitchen.She had looked very pale, confessed herself asunable to sleep-kept awake by her grief andpartly by the pain in her breasts, for she had beennursing her child-and I had expressly told herto take a walk every afternoon. But still she knewthe hour at which I arrived home and ought tohave been back.

The times upon times those intermittent tem-poraries had been late and I scarcely resented it.But it must have been that, even then, I wasslipping back into the way of taking it for grantedthat Annie's life revolved round me and myaffairs alone.

Half an hour passed, an hour, two hours. Itwas time I had my dinner and yetsign of it being so much as on the way.

I got up and dragged myself to the kitchen,glancing at the sink with a sort of sick despair.As I gathered together the materials for some sortof a meal I was struck afresh by the exquisitecleanliness of the kitchen and larder. There wasno one in the world who could keep a place likeAnnie, and now-now ! Was she going to playme false, like all those others?

Then, of a sudden, all my resentment was sweptaway by a sudden, dreadful thought. How sadand dejected she had seemed, how lonely, withthat sort of personal loneliness which nothingI might do for her could ever really touch. Theriver was so near-only the night before whenI asked her where she had been for her walk shesaid. " Along the river, it sort o' draws me-sopeaceful -like."

All thought of food was gone. I wandered fromroom to room, wondering desperately what wouldbe the best thing to do. I thought of ScotlandYard. But what could I say ? That my maid waslate coming home? Why, they would only havelaughed at me, not knowing Annie, her unfailingpunctuality.

Then a new idea came to me. People hadbeen caught hesitating upon the brink ofsuicide; in a moment a vivid picture of Annie,hung weeping over the parapet, leaped clearto my mind's eye.

I flung on my hat and coat. Please God,I might even yet be in time. My handwas actually upon the knob of the frontdoor, when I heard a latchkey beingslipped into the farther side.

It was Annie.Oh, miss, whatever will you

think of me ! I've been to thepolice an' all, kept talkin', first 'ere,then there-racin' from one to theother, such a to-do as never was.An' me worryin' my life out, aboutyou and your dinner-nothin' on,an' the fires like enough out. Dear,dear ! I didn't know what to do,that's the truth, such an upset as never

She seemed to move automatically to thekitchen as she spoke, and I followed. Her arms

were full. I had so often seen her come homelike that, make straight for the kitchen table,laden with groceries and vegetables.

" What can she have been buying ? " I wondered,switching on the electric light myself, for it wasevident that she had not a hand to spare. Then,turning to glance more curiously at her and herarmful, I heard a faint, protesting cry; realisedthat, apart from a few insignificant, blue -paperedparcels, she carried nothing more, or less, thana baby. A baby ! A wide-awake, bright-eyedcreature of some three or four months. A baby,in my flat !

" Annie ! Annie ! What's in the world "" Did you ever, miss ? There now, do you wonder

I was bothered, kept late ? I didn't know what todo, at my wits' end that's what I was. It was likethis., I went across to Battersea Park for a breathof fresh air, and there-on a seat under a tree, withbits o' leaf an' twig an' what not, dropped all over'im ! Look there now, the poor precious-"She picked a withered oak leaf from off thecreature's woolly shawl. " Lyin' there, all alone,as good as good ! An' ter think that 'e might 'abeen my own ! I 'ugged 'im, oh miss, I did 'ug 'iman' no mistake."

"I went to Battersea Police Court, an' then backall along to the World's End, to Chelsea PoliceCourt, an' the time they kept me ! I could 'astamped, rememberin' your dinner an' all.Undressin' the child to see if there were anymarks on 'is poor little clothes, askin' me suchquestions, as never was ! And I that worried allthe while thinkin' o' you comin"ome; an' the firelike enough out, with that cold you 'ad last weekan' all!"

She took off her coat, folded it upon the seatof the armchair and laid the baby upon it-gently,and yet with an air of half ceasing to consider it;hung up her hat, tied on her apron, while I stoodstaring, speechless.

Once again she was the irreproachable, staidand completely a different beingfrom the anxious, flushed little woman of amoment before.

" I'll open a tin o' soup, an' there's eggs for anomelette, an' apple -tart an' custard all readymade. I'll have your dinner readyin ten minutes '

" But why did youbring it here ? " Iwailed. " What are weto do with it here ?There are places,surely "

" It seemed cruel ter leave 'im there, poor littlemite !-with them men an' all-good enough intheir way, but only men, no earthly use witha baby !" She was opening a tin as she spoke,running the cutter neatly and swiftly round itHow often I had anguished over the same accursedthing, attaining my end with the help of a hammerand much bloodshed ! " There's only be the work-house-all in a moment like that, how could I ? "She glanced up at me, deprecating, pleading." If you'd ever 'ad a child, miss-"

" But, Annie, we can't keep it here; what in theworld could we do with a baby-here in this tinyflat? What would people say-think ? "

" Only for a day or two, miss. Just a day or two.He-he "-her lips trembling, her beautiful eyeswere full of tears. " He-he'ud be a lot o' helptowards bearin' things, the loneliness-the pain.Just for a day or two, until someone claims 'im.'E's sure to be claimed, look at the way 'e'sdressed an' all-cared for !"

"He, is it ? "" Well, at the police court, they undressed 'im,

you see. I couldn't 'elp "-Annie blushed crimsonas she spoke, such natural confusion as it seemed." Everything about 'im as nice as nice-so daintyan' all, no fear o' any sort o' infection. An' Ithought, just for a day or two. You wouldn'tknow as he was in the 'ouse-I'ud see that 'edidn't interfere with your comfort in any way,I'm sure, miss."

It was always like that, my "comfort." Noone could suspect Annie of irony, and yet some-times, as now, the words shamed me.

I put out one finger and the small creatureclasped it tightly, gazing up at me with solemneyes.

" But how in the world is it to be fed ? " I askedweakly.

Annie had the soup on the fire, was whiskingeggs for the omelette. I saw the very back ofher neck redden afresh at my words.

" I think-I think-there is a little still-Icould manage it, it'ud draw away the pain, ifI might " She glanced up at me with thelook of a stricken animal and I broke in hastily.

" Well, keep it, Annie, for God's sake keep it,if it's any comfort to you! I suppose, as you

say, it will be only a matter of a fewdays."

Annie forgot to put a spoon formy apple -tart and I went intothe kitchen to fetch it myself,

No. 3 in our Exclusive Series on B.B.C. Secretaries.

gfENRY HALL has two secretaries.One of them, Miss Dorothy Harris -son, deals with all matters con-nected with the Band itself. She

might be loosely described as the ProductionsSecretary. The other, Miss Ada Julian, mightbe called the Fan-mailist, for she deals withthe heavy correspondence every broadcast ofthe B.B.C. Dance Orchestra brings in.

Perhaps you would like to hear what thesefortunate young ladies have to say about theirrespective jobs? Probably they realise they willbe the 'object of envy of many readers of RADIOPICTORIAL who themselves occupy secretarialpositions, though their "bosses" are not quite somuch in the public eye as Mr. Henry Hall.

First of all it should be said they obviouslyare devoted to him. There is nothing to bewondered at in that, because Henry Hall is afavourite with everyone who knows him. He isquiet and unassuming. Popularity has neverspoiled him. It probably never will now. If ithad been going to spoil him it would have done itlong ago, for surely few men of his age have hadtheir work appreciated by as many people as hehas. At Christmas, time, for instance-but that isbetter left for the secretaries to tell you !

Let us talk to Miss Harrisson first."My work is connected with the Band-the

productions side. I look after the Band's bookings.Here, at Maida Vale, we have our own studio forrehearsals and transmissions. It seems that ifwe are not actually broadcasting we are rehearsing,for the B.B.C. Dance Orchestra is worked veryhard. Our studio is sometimes required for otherpurposes, or perhaps I should say other peoplerequire it for their own purposes, and it is mybusiness to see that no mistakes are made con-cerning it.

NT ou would be surprised at the weight of busi-1 ness correspondence connected with Mr. Hall's

Band. Although it is the B.B.C.'s orchestra andplays for the B.B.C.'s purposes, it has a definiteconnection with the outside world, the musicpublishing world in particular. Dance -tunes arebeing written and published every hour of theday, judging by the look of things here. Pub-lishers are naturally anxious to have them triedout on the air. Consequently there is a constantstream of correspondence connected with musicpublishers. Many of them use the telephone andit is my job to answer their queries. This meansthe use of considerable tact in not a few instances.Everyone seems to want things done at once. Iassure you I am developing what Mr. Hall callsa good line of patter !

" The Guest Nights were nights of gladness,certainly, but also nights of work, and not a littleanxiety for me. It was one thing to look after theguests when they were in the studio, but entirelyanother when I had to collect them from thevarious theatres and -see them safely as far as themicrophone. I had the time of my life on theSaturday in Jubilee Week when I had to dealwith three charabancs in order to transplant the

entire chorus and orchestra of Glamorous Nightfrom Drury Lane. I 'requisitioned' most of theBow Street police that night. But the guestsarrived in time.

" You see, very often the curtain at those showscame down late on a Saturday night and therewas none too much time to move these peoplefrom their theatres to the studio. I have notforgotten the Crazy Gang from the Palladium.They arrived in all their make-up. It was a greatgame getting them here. It made me feeldefinitely Mondayish when I arrived here forordinary work, I can assure you.

" The business side also means looking after thefinancial interests of the Band. Material forbroadcasting has to be purchased, of course, andmy job is to look after all that."

And from the other secretary, Miss Julian" You will want to hear about the fan -mail, I

expect? Here is our greatest weapon of defence-the Here's -to -the -Next -Time card. I really donot know what we should do without it. Thefan -mail is so huge that I cannot pretend to beable to address envelopes connected with it.Fortunately I am not expected to. The CentralRegistry at Broadcasting House does all that forme. All I am required to do is to type an answerto the query (or replyto some message) onthe front of the cardwhich I send to theregistry. There myresponsibility ends !

" The telephonegoes incessantly, ofcourse. Like my col-league, I have to betactful. There wassome amusement herethe other day whensomebody rang upand asked what Mr.Hall was going toplay the followingnight. I said some-thing to the effectthat if the gentlemanlistened he wouldhear. Mr. Hallthought I said it sopolitely that thegentleman in ques-tion could not pos-sibly be offended.But fancy taking thetrouble to ring up toask such a question !

" Not that we areever surprised atwhat they ask.Neither would yoube if you were inthis office. ' I am apersonal friend ofMr. Hall's. I amsure he will be onlytoo glad to let mecome and play mylatest dance -tune. Itis simply marvel-lous ! ' I have to sayI am sure it is, andthat Mr. Hall would

Mi

be delighted to hear it-if only he had the time.But he is so rushed at the moment, etc., etc.

" We have had to make a rule in the matter.We have a printed card which says that the B.B.C.is willing to give consideration to any compositionsubmitted. A stamped addressed envelope isasked for and the Corporation cannot acceptresponsibility for damage or loss. No interviews,however, unless the composition has been sub-mitted and approved and the senders notified.

" We had so many marvellous' lyrics submitted,the writers of which hoped Mr. Hall would noteat another meal before he had set them to music,that the B.B.C. had to make a rule that no lyricscould be accepted unless set to music.

"I suppose these are really quite serious peoplealthough some of their work looks otherwise, butwe have others who are difficult to take seriously.There are people who, for extraordinary reasons,write in and ask Mr. Hall to start a fund for them.Some of the appeals to Mr. Hall are anythingbut amusing; they are reall eart-breaking. Allthe same there is a at he can do.

NOW TO MAKE SOME MONEY

/CROONER, a star pianist, good team -work-and the first few engagements for yourlittle band. You are well away. Then inall probability a strange letter will arrive.

Somebody out of the blue, absolutely unknownto you, will write and demand to be your manager.

You really do need a manager, don't you? Thebusiness side is growing. I.etters for advertisements,bookings, discussions over fees, and perhaps even alittle fan mail from admirers will be taking up one, orperhaps two, spare evenings a week. If you are wiseyou will all still be at work and you won't be relyingon the band as a main means of livelihood. That is agood economical proposition, but it means that whenyou come home tired from work you don't want tobother answering letters from thick-headed restaurantproprietors, front dance -hall M.C.'s, or from cinemamanagers on the look out for a cheap amateur danceband as a stage turn.

There is another side to it. The boys may be gettingdiscontented because they are not making enoughmoney. The boys want more money, and you wantmore engagements and less personal work that isn'tdevoted entirely to music.

The answer is a manager. If 'you can't afford afull-time man, then pick on perhaps a member of theband who is otherwise out of work and who'll be gladof the job for a small wage. Better still, have part-time service of a professional dance band man, whomay be in the position to give you new engagementsthrough friendly strings he can pull. If he's a goodman, he may be content to work on a trivial retainerand commission for all new business he brings.

You want engagements. You listen to the wirelessand envy the broadcasting bands. You wonder howthey fared in the early days before their leaders becamefamous. I can tell you. They just went out to lookfor work-and in most cases found it.

Study your district. It is not much use bombardingthe local branch of the B.B.C. You must make a

name for yourself. Try all the cinemas. Circulateclubs. Advertise in the local papers. Try to get alocal news reporter to give you a "story."

If you run the crooner competition I have alreadymentioned, you should get a certain amount of pub-licity for the band if you have arranged it properly.It is this sort of publicity that gets you engagements;and then if the standard of your playing is high enoughyou'll get more engagements and better fees.

After a few weeks you'll be troubled about therepertoire. You can't go on playing all the same oldtunes. With two or three engagements a week itwill seem increasingly hard to get the boys togetherfor rehearsing new numbers. But it must be done.Your personality alone can do it ; they must realisethat a mediocre standard isn't goodenough; that they mustn't mindmemorising and rehearsing newnumbers so that you could at apinch give two entirely separ-ate three-hour runs.

Here's a tip. The wholeband need not always be

"Things arelooking - up "when fees rise

When contracts are coming in andfees are going up it's time to

get a manager !included. If you have a really good pianist, then gethim to run over a few solos (perhaps in conjunctionwith the bass player and drums to give a little morebody to the piano). These will come in very handy atintervals when the band is resting, and it will show upthe special talent in your little combination.

rr he same can be done if you have a star saxophoneI player, or even a good vocalist. Just now and then

a saxophone solo (with piano) goes down very well. Ora few songs-popular numbers-given by the vocalist,with piano and saxophone or violin accompaniment,make a change.

As the business is progressing, you will find moneymatters increasingly difficult. Two or three engage-ments at a couple of guineas or so a night don't showmuch profit. With luck, about a guinea a head forthe week. But when you get the band booked upfive or six nights a week at minimum fees of fiveguineas, things are looking up !

Now is the time to start a reserve fund. A guineaor thirty shillings per man is fair pocket money. Itshould satisfy even the most ambitious saxophoneplayer, who is probably paying hire-purchase on a£45 shining instrument. The rest should be banked,in a special account under the band secretary's name,for the general good of the band. It should be drawnon only for business expenses, for sheet music, anditems of that kind.

By

CHARLIE KUNZNo. 3 in his Series " Running Your

Own Dance -Band "

It won't hurt the boys to know that some of theirearnings are being banked, and it is much better foreveryone that there should be a sound financial backingto the concern rather than that each member of theband should get every penny out of it (which may stillonly amount to two guineas per man per engagement),leaving nothing for reserve.

You will want a certain amount of money forcostumes and for assisting the boys to buy new instru-ments. It is better that the band should finance thisrather than that the new trumpets, saxes, or drumsshould be bought on hire-purchase. The money canbe loaned out of the band funds.

It is not difficult to make the band pay its way in

40- Alb

these circumstances, and by degrees you will removethe band from its amateur status. The time will comewhen you are all fully-fledged professionals-and thatis when your worries will begin.

You will be eligible to broadcast. You will startbombarding the outside broadcast section of theB.B.C. with requests for an audition, and you willhave to pay out certain sums for special arrangementsof new tunes if you want your band to be individual.Then you won't want to use the music of all bands.Special arrangements may cost eight or ten guineaseach, but it is frequently worth the money.

As

you listen in day after day to various bands youwill notice that the same popular dance number is

rendered in a different way characteristic of each band.The arrangers, working under the guidance generallyof the band leader, are responsible for this. It isspecialised work, and while the arrangers know roughlywhat each band needs, the leader must watch that thecharacter of his own band's style is not upset by queerarrangements.

The arranger has to get out a band part for everymember; often only a roughly scored pencil copy ispossible in the time. The various keys and changeshave to be settled, for no single dance number is playedstraight through without a change of key to relievemonotony. There is often a change of key at the vocalpart, to suit the range of the vocalist's voice. Thismeans a certain difference between various bands.While the average vocalist is a light tenor, there is adifference in the ranges of the men mostly heard at themicrophone. Arrangers have to know this, and settheir band's parts out to suit.

A band leader has to attend rehearsals, check upthe efforts of the arrangers, and frequently arrange agreat deal of music himself. Personally, I like doingmy own arrangements, as I feel it keeps the characterof the band together.

Then there is the business side. Song -plugging hasto be watched, for it is not in the best interests of aband leader that he should be pushed into broadcastinginferior tunes to benefit the pocket of a publisher whois plugging the tune all over the country.

There is the contact with the B.B.C. to be main-tained. Although the B.B.C. only pays a relativelysmall fee to bands who broadcast in the evenings, acertain amount of routine work has to be gone through.If a B.B.C. official objects to a certain tune, it has tobe taken out of the broadcasting schedule, while natur-ally the B.B.C. can at any time object to a tune beingplayed on the grounds that it is being unduly "plugged."

Elinally, bandsmen have to be paid. There are manyarrangements, and some leaders and managers

like to pay a fairly small salary plus a commission onall extra engagements and gramophone recordings.Others pay a bigger salary, which is supposed toembrace everything.

Naturally every member of the orchestra doesn'tget the same amount of money. Some star instru-mentalists, like soccer players, have a transfer value,and manage to get, perhaps, an extra £10 a weekbecause the leader is afraid that another leader maysnap them up !

In any good band there is esprit de corps and thesetroubles don't exist; but nevertheless the business sideof a radio band's management does take up a greatdeal of time-unwelcome work when one has beenbroadcasting until midnight and then playing to adancing throng until the small hours.

Like the captain of a liner, a radio band leader mustbe able to control the character of the band, attend tobusiness policy, and yet at a moment's notice giveattention to any little detail of preparation or rehearsal.

It is at this stage that you will begin to have thatfatherly feeling towards the -band. Its trade name-which may be your own-will be becoming almost ahousehold word. You will see gramophone records ofyour own recordings as you go into music shops. Youmay even see your name in the B.B.C. programmes.

You have arrived, but the trouble and fun has onlyhalf begun. You have led your little amateur band toradio stardom, keeping, I hope, many of the originalmembers, and it is just when certain success seemswithin your grasp that the band starts to split up.Why? That I will explain in the final article nextweek. But don't let it worry you. The change mayall be for the' better, for obviously an amateur band isfull of weaknesses, and the contact with the bands inthe professional " racket " may show up your failuresof earlier days.

Even if the band splits up altogether, it may lead toa big -money musical job for you-as I will show younext week.

BY REQUEST-IL

A study inbeauty-

Elisabeth Ann

INCE last week, when 1 answered some readers' queries, letters havereached me from all over the country requesting publication in.RADIO PICTORIAL. So this week I want to deal with furtherurgent requests for loveliness.

" Another Elizabeth," of Swansea, is going to her first dance,and wants to look very attractive, though her parents don't like the ideaof her wearing lipstick or rouge. She is wearing a blue taffeta dress andshe says "how can I make myself attractive without make-up ? "

If she is pale it is going to be rather difficult, though I gather herparents don't object to cream and face powder, and if she uses a LotusCream, which is delightfully soft, with a blond powder, she will add alittle colour to her skin. Then-if she makes her lashes long and darkand silken with a cream mascara, and she can get this in' blue, brown orblack, she will look very attractive.

Besides, the cream mascara will not make the lashes brittle, nor will itsmudge on to the cheeks if used correctly. You apply it with the fingertip,then use a miniature brush to separate the lashes.

For Elizabeth's special dance, I think the black will look best with thatblue gown. The blue is just a trifle more sophisticated, and I know manymannequins have now adopted it in place of their previous eye make-up.

" Goldie," of Loughborough, tells a very sad tale about her hands.Quite apart from being chapped, she has managed to make them very red,and she says the cuticle about the nail is too tender to touch with the scissors.

But I don't want her to touch them with thescissors. If she will first of all use a hand balm towhitenand nourish the hand surface, she can thenuse a cuticle cream-and while this is on the nails,use an orange stick and press back gently so thatthe cuticle is non-existent. Steep the hands inwarm water to which olive oil soap has been added,then dry them (thoroughly, Goldie) and treatyourself to a manicure.

You can get the most attractive small manicureset for two shillings and sixpence, with any tintof enamel-and the colours include beautifulpearl shades as well as copper, silver and gold forevening use.

Cora, of Hove, asks is there such a thing as agood inexpensive lipstick. She is only apprenticedto a dressmaker, and has not much to spend onbeauty. But she says "most I have tried changecolour as soon as I get them on, smudge dreadfully,or taste horrid." As a matter of fact, a new lipstickhas just arrived in a neat, flat case which operatesautomatically, and the three shades, light, mediumand dark, are all colour -proof. It is amazinglyinexpensive, and I am quite sure you will like theflavour (if you judge your lipstick by its flavourthough, of course, you shouldn't). This problem isone Which probably concerns many of you whorequest the best in beauty at the least cost.

" Brown Eyes," of Doncaster, apologises forwriting as her's is not strictly a beauty query, butas many angles of health are linked up with beauty,these. too. are always answered in RADIO PICTORIAL.Her hair has been falling out badly, is now verythin, and she feels it may be due to her nerves(she had a breakdown a year ago). The hairdepends so much on your normal health that it isup to you to enrich your normal diet, take all thebutter, olive oil, eggs and milk that you can, andtake a soothing beverage at night to encouragesleep. Then, each morning, use a hair tonic,massaging up from the nape of the neck to thecrown of the head. Round the frame of the face,down to the ears. And have it trimmed regularly.

TIPS FOR THE POCKET VENUS

By Ann JefferyYOU'RE lucky if you're the " pocket

Venus " type, five foot and a fraction, andother measurements in proportion. The

tall ones who have to carry their own suitcasesenvy you, and the fat ones are madly jealous.But you can no longer drive the latter to frenzyby turning up baby blue eyes to heaven andcomplaining, " I simply can't get clothes smallenough to fit me ; my waist and hips are soridiculously tiny " because most of the goodLondon shops have excellent small size depart-ments where the minimum of " pocket Venuses "can be fitted to perfection.

Nevertheless, there are pitfalls for you just asthere are for the tall girls and the stout girlsand the stock size ones. You've got, on theone hand, to avoid the " baby doll " effect and,on the other, to steer clear of stately clothes withsweeping trains or spreading skirts thatemphasise your lack of inches instead ofemphasising your delicate build.

The great thing for you to aim at is good lineand good proportion. Take advantage ofthe fashion for high necklines ; they add toyour height. Remember that too low ad&olletage in your evening dressdwarfs you; so do bulky fursround your shoulders, bighats, and deep capecollars.

Keep your skirts fairlyshort by day to show your

pretty ankles ; at night have theminstep -length rather than trailing the floor.

Don't wear very heavy materials ; soft suppletweeds suit you far better than thick mannishones ; crepe and chiffon and tulle in the eveningrather than thick matelasse silks, lames, andvelvets ; delicate furs such as squirrel, antelope,and nutria are better for you than bulky oneslike fox or heavy ones like musquash.

Be as dainty and neat and well groomed asyou possibly can, but avoid fussiness like theplague. Fanciful high -heeled shoes, exag-gerated stitched gauntlets, feathered hats, andemphatic handbags are even worse for you thanfor other types. They make you look cheapand chocolate -boxy.

Keep to simple colour schemes-navy blue,nigger brown, beige, grey, or black. If you goin for colours, choose the subtle off -shades andthe pastels rather than the strong, definitetones. By having hat, coat, and shoes all ofone colour you can add to your apparent height.Three-quarter length coats are good for you ;so are the trim belted ones with cravats oryokes or lapels of fur instead of bulky " shawl "or cape collars.

And, above all, restrain yourself aboutjewellery, real or imitation. Barbaric neck-laces, huge pearl ear -rings, or long glitteringones are definitely not for you. One modestclip and a bracelet is about as much as youcan carry off successfully at one time.

My Post BagIAM a tandem cyclist and am in difficulty

owing to the fact that it is a gentleman'standem and because of the crossbar I cannotride in an ordinary skirt or dress. I do not wantto wear either plus fours or long trousers, andsomeone suggested a divided skirt. Whatexactly is a divided skirt, and could you adviseme what material would be best ?-F. W.,Willenhall.

I quite appreciate your difficulty and I thinka divided skirt would be a good way out. Adivided -shirt looks like a skirt, but is really apair of shorts, very full, to any length you like,and with the legs disguised by pleats. Theylook graceful as well as being practical. Thematerial should be any woollen, flannel ortweed that would be suitable for a skirt.

IHAVE been asked out to lunch by a wealthyfriend of mine at a big London restaurant

and I am worried about what to wear. Will awool frock be all right, worn under my winter

Ann Jeffery's adviceto the small womanis to take advan-tage of the fashionfor high necklines.Here is a reallydistinctive even-ing coat, simple,high -necked, ofbottle -greentaffeta... andhighly en-hancing tofragile beauty

to. coat, or should Iwear a silk afternoon

dress ?-Marian, Hampstead.By all means, wear the wool frock-it

will look quite correct. But if you wish tolook extra smart, perhaps you could managea pretty scarf to freshen up your coat. Also,a buttonhole of fresh flowers is an excellentfinishing touch.

WHICH would you advise, please, Ann, atulle sash, lilac colour, with ends falling

nearly to the floor, or a dark wine colouredvelvet belt, on my pale blue lace dress ? I don'tknow which would look smarter.-E. P., Pinner.

Both your suggestions are very good. Whynot have both, and wear them alternately tomake the dress look quite different. The tullesash will look younger and fresher. The velvetbelt will look smart and sophisticated.

IALWAYS wear real flowers on my eveningdress, and I have just bought a dark brown

taffeta one. I don't like white flowers ; can yousuggest what else I could have ?-E. J.,Manchester.

Pale pink carnations would be ideal-or aspray of roses, either small tea -roses or pinkones. One of those little posies of violets andsmall yellow flowers would also look verypretty.

IRATHER like the look of suede shoes andthought of buying some, but I am told that

for everyday wear they are not practical as theyget easily spoiled by rain, etc. What do youthink ?

Suede shoes look very nice when they arenew, but for everyday wear I should certainlyadvise ordinary leather, as being easier to clean.

WEEK ofMOURNING

How the B.B.C. facedits biggest Programme

alteration

By JOHN TRENTDICK decisions had to be taken atBroadcasting House when the deathof King George was announced. SirJohn Reith had stayed in town

overnight, and early the following morning he,Sir Charles Carpendale, Sir Stephen Tallents,and Mr. Cecil Graves met in conference.

They had already decided on a singlesimple programme during the painful periodbetween the death and funeral.

The urgent question was how should the timebe filled. Dance music and variety were obviouslyout. Neither the nation nor the broadcasters werein the mood for such frivolity. The King had beena regular broadca§ter, and the staff mourned theloss of the Sovereign with an intensity of feelingengendered by experience of his lovable nature.

Eric Maschwitz decided to send his producerson three days' leave in turn. They deserved a restand there was little for them to do. The theatreand variety orchestras remained to take their turnwith other bands in providing suitable music.

Artists like Racwicz and Landaur who had beenbooked for a variety date, were retained forclassical recitals, others were informed that theirprogrammes were postponed.

Regular services such as news, religious services,S.O.S. messages and gale warnings could not beinterrupted. The remainder of the programmesmust be flexible to allow for relays of nationalimportance.

Early on Tuesday morning the Outside BroadcastDepartment was at work. Engineers with

mikes were sent to Hyde Park to relay the saluteof guns, while others were hurriedly despatched toSt. Paul's to record the memorial service. Lineswere booked and commentators engaged for theceremony of proclamation to be relayed thefollowing day, while others were asked to standby for the funeral which was soon to be announced.

Mary Somerville was the first to complete herprogramme arrangements. By eleven -thirty onTuesday morning she was able to announce at themike that Mr. Owen Morshead, King's Librarian,and Sir Walford Davies, Master of the King'sMusic, would broadcast their personal remini-scences of the King on the following afternoon.

Derek McCulloch was invited to broadcast aspecial message to children in place of the Child-ren's Hour next day. He sat down at once tocompose the moving message which he spoke tothe National microphone on Wednesday.

The concert in the Queen's Hall was cancelled,and Paul Hindemith, who had travelled fromBerlin to play his new concerto for viola andorchestra, locked himself in a studio to composefuneral music for the occasion. Quick work foreven the most modern of modern composers.

Next morning his work was put into rehearsalin the big studio at Maida Vale, and in the eveningthe B.B.C. Orchestra gave it a first performanceunder Adrian Boult.

Accommodation presented a problem duringthese anxious days. All beds at BroadcastingHouse were pressed into use. Rooms wereengaged in neighbouring hotels and still thereremained an overflow. In the small hours, taxis

The ceremony proclaiming the accession of King Edward VIII to the Throne of Englandwas broadcast to the nation. Here is the Herald, Sir Gerald Woolaston, reading the

proclamation at the City Boundary, adjoining Temple Bar

carried tired typists from Portland Place to theirhomes in the outer suburbs.

All over the world the shock was instantaneous.Daventry broadcast the news. In America an

early evening programme was interrupted for thevoice of Sir John Reith making the announcement.The usual light-hearted transmission of theNational Broadcasting Company was scrappedand a memorial programme took its place.

At the lonely listening post at Tatsfield, B.B.C.engineers were listening to the world's reactionto the news. One nation after another, throughthe voice of its broadcaster, paid homage to theKing whose voice they had heard so often.

Commons at Westminster Hall.Dec. 25, 1935. --Christmas Day.

IN the darkest hour the whole nation turnedinstinctively to the B.B.C. for its lead.Within five minutes of the broadcasting of

that first disquieting bulletin at 1 p.m. on Monday,a hundred anxious telephone -calls had beenreceived at Broadcasting House. That was whyStuart Hibberd received orders to broadcast thebulletin every quarter of an hour.

Quick to sense the feelings of listeners, theB.B.C. responded magnificently, and on this pagehas been told how the mighty switch was effectedto arrange programmes in keeping with thedignity and importance of the sad occasion. TheVoice of the Nation became an awed whisper. . . ,

George V was our King and he was also ourfriend. But he was the friend not only of thepeoples of the Empire, but of the peoples of theworld.

World radio spoke spontaneously for the peopleand an unprecedented array of tributes

mourned his passing.Italy, Poland, Germany, Austria, Holland,

America and Radio Toulouse all altered theirprogrammes.

Every Italian station broadcast an hour'scommemoration service on Tuesday evening at7.30 p.m. Half of the programme was in Englishand half in Italian.

Poland presented a special hour's programme,partly in English and partly in Polish, duringwhich the British National Anthem was played.

America relayed the moving address of Mr.Stanley Baldwin and the ceremony which pro -Claimed Edward, Prince of Wales as KingEdward VIII.

At noon on Tuesday a special musical programmebroadcast in Iceland contained a special tribute.

Engineers listening at the B.B.C. station atTatsfield on Monday evening report that, afterthe 9.30 p.m. bulletin, dance -music on theContinent was cut down to a minimum, particu-larly in Germany.

Thus radio reflected the grief of the world at thepassing of an honoured monarch and belovedman. . . .

House

6VERYBODY in Germany to -day hasa wireless set. Hitler has proclaimedthe slogan : "Every German alistener." And what Hitler says, goes.

Retail prices of wireless sets in Germany arealmost double those in England, but there isone standardised set called the " Volksemp-fanger " or "People's Receiver" which canbe obtained for the equivalent of £5. This isby far the most popular set; it can be obtainedon hire-purchase terms, and undoubtedly hasprovided the poorest inhabitants throughoutthe country with efficient means of receptionof the local stations.

Reproduction quality of most of the sets Iheard was good. The great trouble is selectivity.

Deutschlandsender, which corresponds to ourDroitwich station, is always strong and clear ofinterference. But in the case of every otherstation to which I listened, there was always thatannoying stutter of another station in the back-ground.

I heard programmes upon scores of differentsets during my stay in Germany. They allsuffered in the same way, and I came to theconclusion that this interference problem on themedium waveband is really serious. The ether inmiddle Europe is now so congested that Germanlisteners apparently regard an under -current ofinterference as unavoidable.

Good Germans nowadays are not supposed tolisten to foreign stations in such a way that theprogrammes can be heard by other people. Thisis the natural result of the continual attempts byneighbouring countries to spread subversivepropaganda in Germany.

The regulation is enforced rigorously in Berlinand the big towns. In the heart of the country,

where I lived for the greater part of my recentvisit, there is more latitude, and subject to a littlecaution you can listen to what you like andnobody bothers.

The German newspapers do not publish anydetails of foreign programmes, and thereforeexcept for such regular features as the Droitwichnews bulletins, it is difficult to know what is goingon.

With a good aerial and the " People's Receiver,"however, I found that you can get about a dozenforeigners at good loudspeaker strength, but withsome interference.

I soon discovered, in fact, that notwith-standing the regulation I have just mentionedGermans listen to English stations more oftenthan we listen to German ones. At the houseat which I stopped in Wernigerode, they almostinvariably tuned in the 9.30 p.m. News Bulletinfrom London.

This was not as a compliment to me, which youmight suppose, for I ascertained that it wascustomary before I arrived.

THEY DON'T LISTENFOR PLEASURE

oar BERYL

AINSWORTH,an English girl, givesher impressions of

radio in Germany

I was in Germ dur-the days of the fateful

discussions at Geneva onSanctions. For several evenings

the B.B.C. relayed a commentatorspeaking direct from Geneva, whence he

described the day's happenings. These relays werelistened to with great interest in the Harzmountains, where I was at the time.

I never noticed anyone listening to B.B.C.entertainment programmes. The musical parts ofour programmes are no different from similar pro-grammes from local German stations, and unlessone understands English well, the B.B.C. Varietyand plays offer no attraction to a foreigner.

German interest in the B.B.C.'s transmissionsseems to centre exclusively in the News Bulletinswhich, compared with those from other countries,are considered in Germany to be much morereliable, which was gratifying to note.

This brings me to what I consider to be thechief difference between British and Germanbroadcasting to -day. In England, the averagelistener regards the wireless principally as avehicle of entertainment. In Germany, broad-casting is regarded primarily as the directlink between the Government and the nation,the prime function of the radio is the dissem-ination of news and speeches by politicalcelebrities.

rr he original nine broadcasting companies inGermany were dissolved about eighteen months

ago. The Post Office still collects the fees, but allcontrol of the programmes is now vested in theMinistry for the Enlightenment of the Peopleand Propaganda, with Dr. Goebbels at its head.Everything that is not National Socialist isrejected, and the country is assumed to be of onepolitical opinion.

On every great political occasion, or when aGovernment celebrity is to speak anywhere, asmall army of " Funkwarte" or radio officersinstall public receivers and public address equip-ment.

Yet it is quite incorrect to say that the Germannation as a whole is dragooned into listening topropaganda. The truth is that everyone inGermany appears to be genuinely interested inwhat the country is doing. There is a general andunquenchable thirst for political knowledge,among the women as well as the men.

The ordinary programmes consist largely ofmilitary, brass band, and orchestral music.

Late at night there is a little dance musicin the German programmes. " Hot " music

Fox FanALTHOUGH I am only a schoolgirl of 15, I am a

keen radio fan, and my favourite programmesare dance music and variety. My radio favourites areDenny Dennis, Elsie and Doris Waters, and Roy Foxand his band. Denny Dennis is easily the bestcrooner in the country. He is unsurpassed. Elsie andDoris Waters are grand.

Roy Fox and his band axe head and shoulders aboveall the other bands, and I know whenever they are onthe radio that I am going to enjoy the dance musicthat night. Here's hoping that we shall hear more ofDenny Dennis, Roy Fox, and Elsie and Doris Watersin 1936.-A Radio Fan, Leicester.

She Likes the Old FavouritesAN it be true that our top -line bands, such as

Va Ambrose, Lew Stone, and Roy Fox-old-estab-lished favourites who so justly deserve the popularitythey have earned-are in future to be heard less, inorder to give their time to newcomers who, everyonemust realise, cannot possibly compare with bands thatare the pick of the whole profession?

Comparing the quality of their broadcasts with othersheard, certain West End bands are already heard fartoo infrequently. Ninety minutes is never too longif the band is of first-class quality-twenty minutesis too long if it is inferior.

Ambrose (I have listened to every broadcast he hasever given) has always stood for all that is best in dancemusic. His band is acknowledged by many to be thefinest in the world to -day. Through nearly eight yearsof broadcasting he has maintained his high quality,giving always of his best, and doing splendid work in hisuntiring endeavour to keep the standard of dancemusic always on the up and up. I am sincerely gratefulto him for all that he has given us. I am gratefulalso to the others who put quality first and strivealways to keep broadcast dance music from gettingin a rut.

How do other listeners, who have appreciated thequality of these bands in the past, feel about thenew scheme of things?-(Mrs.) J. Brown. Banbury,Oxon.

Fair's Fair !AM a dance -band fan myself, but I deplore theI practice some of them have in running down

symphony and demanding more jazz.Personally I listen to dance music because my tem-

perament demands something light and cheerful, butI can easily understand people who need quiet, restfulmusic for their mood.

Why not let people choose their own tastes and keepto them instead of trying to thrust something on othersthat is not wanted?

No more futile arguments, please !-A. E. Tongue,"Mayville," Comberford Road, Tamworth, Staffs.

KITTY MASTERS talks about Clothes, Colour and Crooning" OME along," said Kitty Masters, in

her gentle, pleasant voice. "Thecar is just here. I thought perhapsyou might have difficulty in finding

your way to Maida Vale, so I came along topick you up. My brother Bert drives for me.Though, as a matter of fact, I am learningmyself, and I've just done my first long drive."

We began to move slowly into the stream oftraffic-buses, taxis, cars and shoppers that fillthe West End just about five o'clock.

.' I am so glad you can come to tea with me,"said Kitty. " I wish you could come to my realhome in Manchester, though. My home has alwaysbeen there, and I have just bought a house. Itwas built for me more or less to my own design,for one thing, it has smooth slopes instead ofsteps so we can wheel my mother in her chairall over it. The roof has only just been put on.The bricks are small and dark "

" What about colour schemes ? "" Well. do you know, everybody laughs at me

because I keep on changing my mind aboutthem every week. You know, when I was a littlegirl, I had an ambition to have a room in roseand grey, but, it's funny I've changed my mindnow. I like green, but it looks a little cold, don'tyou think? I can't make up my mind."

By now, we were in the very thick of a trafficjam, only moving forward an occasional six inches.

" I'm afraid it's going to take us hours to getthere," said Kitty. " I'm living in ' digs,' you know.Until about a week ago, I had lived with thesame people ever since I came to London. Now

Stick to Dance -timej AM a regular reader of "Radio Pictorial," andI having read the "What Listeners Think" letters inyour January 3 issue, I wish to voice my opinionreferring to reader's letter on "Music for Dancing."

I entirely disagree that dance music need not beplayed in dance tempo-a dance tune is entirely spoiltif not played as it should be-whether or not a band isin the studio or dance hall it should be played fordancing. As for the fan who wants "Hot Rhythm,"I can only say that it does not appeal to many listeners.What we want is more of the Maurice Winnick orCarroll Gibbons type of music, full of melodiousdance music as it should be played. In my opinion,Maurice Winnick is quits. the best band that broadcasts,and I only hope that he will maintain this standardand that we shall hear more of him.-Lover of RealDance Music, Oxford.

I have moved because Mother has come to livewith me. She likes to be with me, and I loveb sing with her.

" But the people I used to live with were sogood to me. When I first went there, they weren'tinterested in radio, but they were interested inme and after my first broadcast they bought aradiogram. Wasn't it sweet of them ? "

Kitty loves talking about her friends-it's thesubject she's most enthusiastic about.

" Have you met Margaret Bannerman ? " shesaid suddenly. "She was my first real friend inLondon. I remember one dreadful day when anew dress, specially ordered for the occasion, hadnot arrived in time for the show. Margaret tookme into her dressing -room and slid back the doorof her long wardrobe.

" Take which you like," she said."There was a long row of dresses; quite half of

them had never been worn. I was torn betweena pale green and a lovely shell -pink. The shellwas very sophisticated, and the green was delicateand floating-it had been specially made for afilm. Well, the end of the story is that she askedme to accept both of them as a present from her.I was so delighted . . ."

" You generally wear white on the stage,don't you ? "

" Yes, I think my favourite colours for thestage are white and black. I set out to buy anew black dress the other day and I boughtinstead a lovely white one, with clusters of bigrhinestones on it-and a purple cloak !

"T DO think a new dress helps you to feel your.I- best. Oh, yes, I am nervous sometimes. But

have come to the conclusion, after watchingcarefully all the greatest artists-and talking tothem-that the longer you are on the stage themore nervous you grow. Yes, really. So I don'tmind if I do feel a little nervous sometimes.

"There's one funny thing-the very first timeI ever broadcast I was not a little bit nervous.Wasn't it funny? But I have been since. I feelvery anxious sometimes when I am putting overa new number, to know how it will go.

" People ask me which I like best, the vaudevillestage or the B.B.C. studio. I don't know which --I am glad that I work on both. Or rather I doknow-because I always love working withHenry Hall."

" I expect he was very pleased to see you backagain after your tour."

" He gave me a great welcome. He said,' Welcome to the new studios, Kitty,' and all theboys joined in. At first, I felt the studio was alittle strange, but you soon get used to it."

We were by now in another traffic block andKitty began to look a little worried.

" We are getting on very slowly, aren't we ?What is the time, Bert? I've got to be atCroydon at five past seven."

" I am tiring you. I am making you talk toomuch," I suggested. "You ought to be restingyour voice."

"Oh. no," said Kitty. "That's all right. I findthat the best thing to do is not to think about myvoice too much. At one time I used to imaginethat there were all sorts of things wrong withmy throat, just by being too careful about it.

UNCLE BARRY'S LETTER" OT quite eleven months to Christmas I "

as some genial wireless comedianremarked to me this morning. It is athought, is it not? Anyway, the first

month of 1936 listening has passed into time andforgetfulness. But has it? You know, the B.B.C.has a way of "canning," or recording some of themost outstanding broadcasts during any year, sothat on New Year's Eve they can suddenlyconjure up some of the real events of the yearbehind their work. The Children's Hour does this,also.

The first listening week of February begins wellon Monday, the third, when Ronald Gourleymakes one of his ever -welcome appearances. Arecent successful piece of entertainment on thepart of Ronald was to have broadcast one of hisown gramophone records, and then, while it wasbeing broadcast, he listened at the piano withearphones and sang, played and whistled a duetwith his recorded self ! In the same programmeare "The Zoo Man" and Dr. C. N. Tucker, whoseAfrican " Kidden" stories are so popular.

On Tuesday, February 4, we shall learn whathappened to the Toy Town adventurers, afterLarry the Lamb, Dennis, Mr. Growser, theMagician and Inventor, the Mayor, Ernest thePoliceman, Captain Higgins and others all set offon a cruise in the Toytown Belle ! I suspect awreck on the Treasure Island, and that there willbe an affair with some comic cannibals. Whateverhappens, though, you can guess that Larry willcome out top-as usual !

Hugh E. Wright as " Worzel Gummidge," thescarecrow which comes to life, may be heard onWednesday, February 5, when Susan (RosamondBarnes) and John (Lauri Lupino Lane) experienceanother adventure with this queer old fellow of thefield. Frederick Burtwell (Captain Higgins of ToyTown fame) is in the cast, together with BillieSinclair. You may not know that these two artistsare husband and wife in real life.

On Thursday, February 6, there begins a newseries of plays called The Adventurous Journey, bySibyl Clarke, who writes a good deal for theNorth Regional Hour. The first play will takeyou back to 1746, when Martin Standish, athirteen -year -old boy, sets off for London insearch of fame and fortune. What happens tohim will be told in this play and others in theseries. The actors will include D. A. Clarke -Smith, Rudolph de Cordova, Ewart Scott, GladysYoung, Audrey Cameron and Frank Napier.

Until next week.UNCLE BARRY.

ROUND TABLESJanuary 31, 1936

Turntable Presentsby THE REV. JAMES WALL, M.A.

Broadcast last Sunday by the Rev. James Wallfrom Radio Normandy. Another "Thought" nextweek.

A PROVINCIAL society in London (of which I amnot a member) was recently making arrangements

for its annual dinner. Some brave man, greatlydaring, proposed that instead of the guests beingseated at long tables in descending order of socialimportance, there should be nothing but a number ofround tables. The motion was quickly defeated, notby the really big people, but by minor officials of theclub. One of them said : "No, let's have the importantguests at the high table, and I as treasurer am jolly -well going to sit at the head of my table."

Human nature dies hard. At one time every familydining table had its massive salt cellar of silver orpewter amidships. The best people sat "above thesalt," inferiors below.

Even in democratic countries the lure of artificialmarks of distinction, titles, orders, and so forth, is asappealing as ever. Old-fashioned people still seat theirguests at table in order of seniority with meticulousprecision; but we all tend, even at sherry parties, tothink of each other in just the same way.

Of course, we are not all equal. The great joy inlife, to my mind its most saving grace, is the remarkabledifference there is between any two of us. Individualityis the most precious thing we have. But in assessingour respective merits, let us be open-minded and honest,and let the best man win. Heaven judges us, webelieve, by the service we render to our generation."He that would be greatest among you, let him beyour servant"-your "slave," He really said.

The long refectory table is now almost a thing of thepast. The round table is not uncommon and not onlyfor dining. It is much the most sensible shape. Itmakes conversation general and for all. It keeps usfrom a lot of snobbery. Best of all, it makes us feelthat we are all equally important to each other, thatno one can be really great as long as he is riding roughlyover the interests of anyone else at the table.

It wouldn't he a bad idea if tables at which menand women congregate were always round !

Henry Hall's Secretaries(Continued from page II)

" Books of sweepstake tickets come along withunfailing regularity and cheer us up. Or, ' canMr. Hall lend me £50? Or even £10?'One ofthese dear people gave the best excuse I haveheard so far. ' You see,' she said, ' I feel I canask him because I am never likely to meet him.I could hardly ask anyone I knew personally."

Finally, from both of them. A view of theirgenial " boss " :-

" He is very good tempered and quick to makedecisions. He rarely hesitates as to what hisanswer is going to be. Either yes or no. Andjust as quickly as that.

" When it comes to dictating a letter we areoften amused. Mr. Hall doesn't dictate; hesimply chats. Our job is not to take him down andreproduce him (we really dare not do that) butto take him down and edit him. His letters areours, really. But we generally manage to conveyhis ideas, which is the main thing, of course.

" Sometimes the 'phone rings and there is anurgent message for him while he is broadcasting.If one of us goes to him, it is a common thing forus to take down the reply while he is conducting.He has, fortunately, a two -valve mind, andanswering correspondence and conducting the band(either separately or together) seem to be naturalto him.

" Above all we have, between us, to keep trackof his appointments, and see he keeps them.

" It may literally be, ' You are listening to theB.B.C. Dance Orchestra, directed by Henry Hall,'but it is equally true that we, his secretaries, arethe girls who ' direct' Henry Hall and tell himwhether he is coming or going. If we didn't hefrequently wouldn't know.

" Do you wonder we love our jobs ? "

A MENU FOR MUSIC -LOVERSSOMETHING light and refreshing to start

with, say, " Roadway of Romance "and " Orchids to My Lady," sung by

Derek Oldham on H.M.V. B8394, or a deliciousflute solo by Marcel Moyse. He has recorded" Les Millions d 'Arlequin " and " Humor-eske " on Columbia DB1617.

Perhaps you'd rather have something hot.Parlophone offer you an ideal selection in analbum of the British Artist's " Rhythm -Style " series. R2149, " Bread and Jam "and " Ida, Sweet as Apple Cider," presentsinspired individual playing. R2150, " Call-ing All Keys " and " Poor Butterfly " showsHugo Ringold at his most technical andcharming best. R2151, " Blind Man's Buff"and " Ain't Misbehavin'," is played byArthur Young, perhaps the greatest swingpianist in Europe. There are four more,equally sensational, in fact there's not a dullrecord in the batch.

Have you an appetite for Orchestral works?You will enjoy the Boston Orchestra'ssymphonic syncopation of " Rhapsody inBlue " on H.M.V. C2806 and 7-that is if youhaven't already fallen for Beethoven's Un-finished " Symphony played by the BerlinPhilharmonic Orchestra on Decca PolydorDE7047-DE7050 (and It isn't expensiveeither, only 2/6 a time I). Old fashionedfavourites excellently served up are to behad on Regal- Zonophone MR1936 and 7," An Old -Time Music Hall " parts I and II.

Now won't you toy with " Honey ColouredMoon," played by Lou Preager on Panachord25812, or " Car of Dreams," played byJack Payne on Rex 8658, or have a " School-boy Howler " (they're good) on Rex 8667 ?

For something sweet, what better thanMantovani's rendering of " Just a Cornerin Paradise " on Columbia FB1253. Geraldooffers you two alluring tangos on ColumbiaFB1231, " Juanita Yo Te Amo " and " Para

Siempre." Troise and His Mandoliers havemade a delightful record of two songs from" On the Wings of Song," " Funiculi, Funi-cula " and " Il Bacio " on Rex 8684.

And so we come to coffee, cigarettes andsentiment. Rex has the appropriate record-the Casani Club Orchestra playing " Loveis Like a Cigarette " on 8681. There's aZither Ensemble on Parlophone F362 playinga waltz, " Spring Flowers," and Hutch sings" Sweet Dreams Sweetheart," on F324.But a tune we really must have is " TheMusic Goes Round and Around," originallycomposed and played by Eddy Reilly onBrunswick RL325. On Decca F5713 we canlisten to the Street Singer singing " MistyIslands of the Highlands."

Then to complete this feast of record fare,let's hum " Thanks a Million " in time withthe inimitable Paul Whiteman and hisOrchestra on H.M.V. BD5001.

Modern Heroes

HEROES OFUP to now I have given you only instances of the

heroism of individual men and women. But itis equally important to see how a crowd behaves

in an emergency. The usual theory is that a crowdalways panics in a crisis, that its behaviour as a wholewill be less courageous than that of any single memberof it left to himself. Let me tell you of a crowd thatshowed no sign of panic when faced with one of theworst disasters in history.

It was on Wednesday, April 10, 1912, that theworld's largest liner left Southampton bound for NewYork. Her name was the Titanic. Her tonnage was60,000 tons. She carried 1,348 passengers and a crewof 860.

On the following Sunday a quarter of an hour beforemidnight in intense cold a slight jar was felt whichcaused no more than a passing comment from thosewho were still sitting up.

And yet this slight jar had ripped open the sidesof this ship from foremast to stern as easily and effec-tively as a paper knife into the pages of a book. Suchis the effect of a collision between a ship and an iceberg.The force was of a million tons per foot, and waterbegan to pour in immediately.

But the passengers had no inkling that anythingserious was wrong even when they found that theengines had stopped. It wasn't until they saw rocketshissing and stabbing across the sky that they realisedthat the condition of the ship was serious.

Then came the command "all passengers on deckwith life -belts on" followed as they began to collect ondeck in various stages of undress by the order "Womenand children only." Even when the boats were loweredit was difficult to persuade the passengers to enter.The great liner seemed so much safer than the sea, calmas it luckily was. Wives refused to be separated fromtheir husbands, and several of the boats went off onlyhalf-filled. There were only twenty boats in all, andeven if they had been filled they would only haveheld 1,000 out of the 2,208 souls aboard.

The great ship began to list heavily and dip at herbows. The crew behaved as calmly as if they hadbeen on parade, lowering each boat quietly and withprecision. The ship's hand played the passengers offand continued playing "Nearer My God To Thee" longafter the last boat had gone.

And at 2.15, two and a half hours after the collision,she stood with her stern vertically out of the water forfive minutes and there was a great crash as all theengines and furniture broke through towards the bowsfollowed by a black -out of all the lights, then their

By S. P. B. MAIS

TH E TITANICreappearance for a brief flash, and then the mightyvessel slid forward and dived the depths.

Her disappearance was followed by a completesilence for a few minutes, and then, to the astonishmentand horror of those in the boats, who imagined fromthe silence that everybody had been taken off, camethe agonised screams of the hundreds who were nowbeing frozen to death in the icy water. These trieswent on for nearly an hour, and those in the boatswho were unable to help had to begin singing loudlyto drown the cries of the dying.

At half -past three in the morning the Carpathia wassighted and she picked up from the boats and elsewhere504 passengers and 201 of the crew, which meant that815 passengers and 658 of the crew were drowned.

The engineers stayed in the bowels of the ship keepingthe electric light going until the ship actually foundered.For them there was never any possibility of escape.

The passengers never showed any trace of alarm.Regarding it at the beginning as a joke, they merelybecame quiet or walked up and down the decks onseeing the ship start to list. Orders were obeyedwithout comment and without undue haste. It speaksvolumes for the discipline to remember that all theboats were lowered into the sea without a hitch.

The disaster was heavy enough in all conscience.It would have been far heavier if everyone bad notinstinctively acted heroically. And there is con-siderable pride mingled with our sorrow to recall thatthis is how people in the mass react in moment of crisis.

As broadcast by Mr. S. P. B. Mais from RadioLuxembourg last Sunday morning, at 10.30 a.m.

A PLAYto make

YOU TALK!The B.B.C. is

Not Afraid of Controversy!

HAT individual who sits like anoracle in the corner seat of mycarriage going up to town everymorning, gives us all the benefit

of his opinion of the previous night's B.B.C.programmes,

" The B.B.C. has no backbone !" is his permanentlament. " It hasn't enough grit to dare to putcontroversial topics and plays on the air. It fearsit might hurt narrow-minded cranks who wouldprotest if anything unconventional was broadcast."

I am looking forward to meeting the oracle afterthe broadcast of "War Calls the Tune" onThursday and Friday.

For this play will, I dare to prophesy, be one ofthe most controversial things the B.B.C. has done.

Sir John Reith is frequently accused of beingafraid of Government interference. I congratulatehim on allowing one of his producers to put on aplay the theme of which is, put crudely, a littledebunking of statesmen and politicians.

"War Calls the Tune" is Lance Sieveking's radioadaptation of C. K. Munro's stage piece, " Ding &Co.", which was produced at the Embassy Theatre,London, in 1934.

Sitting at the end of his peculiar long andnarrow room at Broadcasting House, Sieveking"let me in" on this production, which, thoughprimarily a play, is, as I see it, also propagandaof an exceedingly topical nature in these days ofcrisis.

" I have here," said leonine -faced Sievekingslowly and deliberately, "a letter from C. K.Munro in which he states the theme he was inspiredto get over in ' Ding & Co.' "

He picked up a blue piece of notepaper and readthese illuminating words : " It is not the statesmenof the world, but you, the people, who will, in thelong run, decide what kind of world it shall be.The statesman will only do what you will tolerate-he must do what you insist upon."

" And-er-Mr. Sieveking," I faltered, "youare going to put that on the air for all receivers topick up, including, possibly, a few in the precinctsof Westminster ?"

"We," he propounded steadily, "are going to

broadcast my adaptation of that theme,which is this : 'War calls the tune to whichhumanity unwillingly dances. The politicians arethe pipers, but we who pay the cost, could, if weinsisted, have less senseless music.' "

At that moment horrid visions of Mussolini,bleeding Ethiopians, and Mr. Baldwin's sealedlips, floated around my brain, and then clearedtriumphantly as I saw the oracle of our railwaycarriage dwindle to a small speck and the facade ofBroadcasting House shine out over him, bold anddaring!

We may not all agree with this play's implica-tion, but it is at least a dramatic exposure of aclear -thinking writer's conception of the root ofmany evils. It will make us talk !

Sieveking smiled behind steel -rimmed spectacles." Ah- !" I conjectured, "and you're going

to produce this play with all the most involved andadvanced touches of technique, for which youhave made yourself so notorious."

"No I am not. My production will be as simpleas possible. Only four studios. Very little musicand effects. No jiggery-pokery. The author wasanxious to let his words tell the message he had todeliver. In my production the words will doeverything."

With this "direct" method of production, the

On Thursday and Friday, February 6 and7, will be broadcast "War Calls The Tune."It is a play by C. K. Munro and it hasbeen adapted by Lance Sieveking who tells

how and why it is to be broadcast.

propaganda of the play should have its fullesteffect.

But you like entertainment from your radio.When the tired business man switches on his sethe doesn't want to be told how to put the worldright. That is where " War Calls the Tune" willmeet him. It is exciting, moving, and romanticenough to sugar its propaganda sufficiently for alltastes. If I may be so bold as to prophesy again-you will gulp it down ; and then, at the end, youwill sit amazed and wonder if it is right.

The girl heroine, Hope, meets Fritz, a Germanstudent in England. They become engaged, and amonth later Fritz is called up to do his periodof army service. On top of that the Gfeat Warbreaks out. Fritz, innocent of the four years'massacre ahead, leaves Hope with the cheerfulmessage : "I'll be back in a couple of months."

Eighteen months pass. The War is still on.Hope's family have a Cabinet Minister friend, theRight Hon. Sir Robert Dingle. "Ding," as theycall him, convinces Hope that she must give upFritz.

" England will never be on speaking terms withGermany again in your lifetime," he proclaims.

Also, Hope has a brother who is a ConscientiousObjector, and "Ding" persuades her that bymarrying a brilliant soldier, Lyon, who has wonthe V.C., she will bring her brother round to theorthodox view that his country needs him.

Hope, out -of -love with Lyon, marries him.Immediately he is wounded and made a

blind cripple.Two years after the Armistice, Fritz returns to

England in a high commercial position. To enablehim to see Hope, he gives her a job, with theexcuse that thus she may support her husband,and take the responsibility of his keep off theshoulders of her brother and " Ding," where ithas rested.

" Ding" wholeheartedly agrees that this is agrand idea, and the right thing to do. He has,you see, contradicted the principle he professedto hold at the beginning of the War. Then, aGerman was dirt. Now the German is a friendindeed !

ByA Special

CommissionerDefending his shifting principles in a Cabinet

speech, " Ding" says that as the circumstances ofinternational affairs change, so does the states-man's attitude to fundamentals.

"The only job of a politician," he says, "is tokeep the thing going ! "

It matters not a jot to him which way it iskept going, nor that, after circumstances havechanged, it may be going in an absolutely rcvelsedirection !

This, then, is the message-it can be callednothing less-which next week's B.B.C. play willbroadcast to 20,000,000 ears.

I wonder if my friend the oracle will stillmaintain that the B.B.C. has no backbone !

T hey Don't Listen for PleasureContinued from page Eighteen

Is strictly banned, over there it is called"nigger jazz." The most popular broadcastmusic is that of the military bands.

The important art of planned listening, aspractised largely in England, is well nigh lost inGermany, so far as the entertainment programmesare concerned. On all the occasions I listened invarious houses I noticed that, except when apolitical broadcast or news was on, no one treatedthe programme as sufficiently important to warrantstopping the general hub-bub of conversation.

I soon began to appreciate a striking differencebetween the German and B.B.C. announcers.People in England complain that the announcersshould be given more scope, on American lines.But, belie'e me; the B.B.C. announcers havereally human voices compared with those of theGerman announcers, who seem almost like Robots.Whether the news is grave or gay, it is all churnedout in exactly the same measured tone of voice,without any emotion or emphasis. The humantouch is sadly lacking in the German programmes.

My general conclusion was that in programmematerial the B.B.C. scores heavily in comparisonwith the German. The B.B.C. programmesevidence a remarkably wide catholicity of appealwhich is noticeably absent to an English listenerto the German fare.

And here is the most tragic observation Imade about listening in Germany. Childrenare completely indifferent to the wirelessprogrammes. I saw no kiddies up to the ageof twelve or thirteen listening at all. They do notwant to hear the dull music or the politicalspeakers, and there is precious little else. Ger-many to -day is a nation of adult listeners only.

Little MosesContinued from page Ten

shamefully realising that it was the very first timeI had ever thought of not disturbing her, botheringher at a meal. "She'll be having her supper," I thought.

But Annie was by no means having her supper,quite the other way. She was seated in a low chairby the fire, her feet on the fender, the front of herblouse open, and the baby's small, dark head buriedlike a bee in her white breast.

After this, for weeks on end, I advertised, butnothing could be heard of the child's parents. I believeduring that next six months Annie had more proposalsthan she had fingers upon both hands; but she wasfaithful to the memory of her first love, engrossed inthe baby.

SHE had been right in saying that it should not beallowed to disturb me. I scarcely ever saw it,

heard it. Indeed, after a time, I grew jealous of theway in which Annie absorbed it, kept it to herself. Iused to make Annie bring it into the sitting -roomto show to my friends. " You're as proud of it asthough it were your own," said someone one day.

" Florence, I do believe it is, really, rather like you,"put in another teasingly, glancing from the child tome. " Don't you think that the baby's rather likeyour mistress, Annie? "

" I'm sure I hadn't noticed it, marm," she answered,respectfully, in answer to my friend's inquiry. " Butthey do say that children grow like the people they'remost with."

" Well, then, it's you he ought to be like, Annie,"said someone else; then laughed. " But he's not, notin the very least ! "

Months went past, a year and more. Then the babyGeorge, as be was called after Annie's dead baby,got pneumonia. I was obliged to have a charwomanto do the normal work of the flat-as badly as possible-for Annie devoted herself to the sick child.

But I did not mind that, I did not mind anything-for by this time I was dreadfully fond of the creature-apart from the almost fierce way in which I waselbowed aside, made to feel of no importance.

When the child got well enough to be taken to thesea. I half suggested that, as I wanted a change, Imight take it away myself, with a trained nurse forthe first few days. " It would give you a chance ofgetting back into your old ways and putting the flatin order again," I said.

" Oh-oh ! you and your flat ! " cried Annie. Herface was crimson as she swung out of the room, slam-ming the door behind her.

And yet how could I resent it? I knew I had beeninexpressibly mean. If I needed a change, how muchmore must Annie need it. Annie, who had been upwith the child practically night and day.

I had this much dignity. I decided that there shouldbe no sort of competition between us, I could not havestood that-Annie and I, and that pathetic bone ofcontention all shut up together in lodgings ! No, no,thought I, and packed her off to Hastings alone withthe baby, closed the wretched flat and went to staywith some relations.

When we all came together again I felt that I hadgained my reward, re-established myself. The resent-ment which had been growing in Annie's look andvoice was gone. The child had learned to walk, tospeak my name. Sometimes I took it out with me-asmall, moist hand tightly clasping one finger, or mythumb for preference-down to the Embankment,warm with spring sunshine. But I asked Annie'spermission first.

I was mistress of the flat, she acceded me that much ;but she was mistress of the child. Well, and what couldI have done? I loved it, and yet if it was restless atnight, naughty during the day, in all its petty ailmentsand tempers, what patience should I have had for it?

Then one day Annie came to me, all blushes, andannounced that she was, once again, going to bemarried.

He was a soldier, had been two years out in Salonika,was only just back; everything seemed to me to havebeen settled up very quickly, " But then, we kneweach other before," said Annie, and, of course, thatexplained matters.

He was a nice -looking young man, very big andvery fair, with the bluest of blue eyes; there was some-thing about him that seemed familiar to me, for daysI was puzzled, then : "Why, Annie," I said, " he'slike-don't you think that he's a little like baby? "

Annie laughed merrily ; she was more cheerful, moregirlish than she had ever been before. " Now, miss,how funny you should remark on it ! I noticed itmyself; I tease him about it, tell him I know he's gota wife somewhere as went and left her baby on a seat.But all the same," she added more soberly, " I believethat's what made me really take to him --he is likebaby ; look at his nose now."

I had looked at the noses, both of them-the youngsoldier's and the child's-thought how odd it was thatthere should be two such curiously square tips. Thefact that Annie had noticed the likeness, was socandidly amused by it, helped to dissolve someinexpressible mist of doubt which was gathering inmy mind. Doubt regarding what, whom? I reallycould not have said.

And vet-yet-there was so much that was, to saythe least of it, inexplicable.

I did not suspect anything. What could there be tosuspect? But the ways of the creature seemed togather more and more of Annie ; while the features, thecolouring, the very shape of the hands-all this apartfrom the nose-were those of Annie's young man.

I was very worried and yet I daren't cry, I simplydaren't ! What if I hurt Annie's feelings so that shewould not come back to me after her marriage, as shehad promised to do; for it seemed certain that herhusband would be sent abroad again immediately.

AT last we came to words over the honeymoon.Annie wanted to take the child with her and

I would not have it. After all, I knew nothing of theman, of where they would be going, what they wouldbe doing ; there was the chance of every sort of infection,neglect. " And, besides," as I said to Annie, " noman would like to have a small child with him on hishoneymoon."

" Why, miss, he's crazed about it; if he wasn't, doyou think I'd marry him? Not I ! "

" But just now; it isn't even as though it were yourown child, Annie. And, after all, you'll have to getused to doing without it."

" Why," she flamed hotly-the airs she gave herself,almost of a married woman, already-her temper !No one would have recognised, at that moment, thepale, quiet little mouse of those few months earlier.

" Well, you know you can't have it always withyou? "

" Why?... Why not? "" Well, you couldn't afford it, for one thing."" Them as loves children can afford to have 'em,

that's what I say."" Their own children, perhaps; that's different."'She repeated the words, " their own children," so

oddly, almost insolently, that my dignity was aroused." I think we've had quite enough of this, Annie. You

won't take that child with you on your honeymoon,because I won't have it. And if you asked your futurehusband, I'm quite sure that he wouldn't have it either."

" I see myself askin' him !" ejaculated Annie." After all, I'm the person to decide. For close on

two years I've kept the child at my own expense, paidfor everything that it's had, worn ; paid the doctor'sbills when it was ill. Even-well, Annie, I don'twant to be unkind-but I've paid you to look after it;what you've done for it has been done in my time."

" Paid me to look after it," repeated Annie, and thenbegan to laugh, not nastily, but as though she werereally, genuinely amused. " So you have !-paid me,me, ter look after him-the blessing ! "

" Well, now you see that I am the one to decidehow it's to be brought up, what is to be done with it.

When you come back to me after your honeymoon" I'm not so certain that I'm coming back."My heart sank at this, but I spoke quite calmly.

" That is for you to decide, Annie. But in any case Iam determined to keep the child. I have grown fondof it "

" It, it, it ! " cried Annie. " Oh, doesn't that show !Couldn't I have shaken you again and again for thatit.' To say you love George as much as though you

were 'is mother, and to call him it '-my word ! "" That has nothing to do with the matter. The

child will stay with me."" The child won't stay with you, if you'll excuse me,

miss. Do you think as I'd leave my child alone withanyone as calls 'im ' it '-' it' as though 'e was agirl, or any old thing? My very own child ! "

" It's no good calling it-him-your own child."" But 'e is my child."" Your child ! "" My child-my own child ! "" Annie, what are you saying? Are you mad ? "" Well, he is-and he is, and he is !

" What nonsense ! Because it was you who foundhim "

" Found 'im where I put 'im, the precious lamb."" You-you mean " I began again, then became

aware of a persistent ringing at the hall door -bell.Annie heard it at the same moment, smoothed herapron, straightened her cap; went to the door and letin her young man. I heard his voice and called to them.

" Now," said I, " you've told me, you'd better tellhim too, make a clean breast of it. Who knows," Iadded satirically, " you may find your husband, too-"

" Well, I 'ave found lin," remarked Annie calmly;" all I ever 'ad."

" Annie, Annie ! That story of being in the wreckof the Spanish Queen, you don't mean to say that itwas all-all---? "

I hesitated here, somehow I could not bear to sayit, but she took the word out of my mouth.

" A lie? Yes, it was a lie, miss. But it wasn't I whostarted it neither, it was 'e", she tossed her head in thedirection of the young soldier who stood twirling hiscap between his hands in an agony of embarrassment-" from the beginning, so ter speak, driving me interit ; leaving me ter shift fur meself. He swore as he'dmarry me afore 'e went, an' then I'd 'a got my separa-tion allowance. But 'e went off without it, threemonths before ever the baby was born. He's sorryfor it now, willing ter make up ter me all 'e can, I willsay that much fur 'im. He's a good enough fellow asmen go; but it's I who've 'ad the fight, an' nothin' teifight with exceptin' my tongue-lies."

" A tissue of falsehoods ! " I gasped." Well, an' what's a lie or two-lyin' s bad, I never

told you not so much as the shadow of an untruthbefore-but what's a lie or two compared ter a child'slife, what it needs? There I was in lodgings in Batter-sea; I couldn't get any work; who'll give work to a girlwith a baby, not married either-the ones as wantwork most? What sorter a life 'ud it 'ave been fur 'imif I went out charrin', left 'im? What sorter an 'omecould I 'ave afforded ter give 'im? "

" If you'd come straight to me "" If I'd 'a told you the truth you'd 'a taken me back

because I was a good servant, but you'd 'a said, ' Putthe child in a home, that's the only thing fur a childo' that sort.' As though 'e were different to anyother child, bless 'is 'eart ! If I once got back teryou, I'd be able ter manage you. I knew that.People said as 'ow you was difficult, but I alwaysfound you easy as easy, with little humouring, an'don't we all like a bit o' humouring? As to lyin' wello' course-what woman worth her salt wouldn't lie,where her own baby was concerned?

" An' look at 'im now, just look ! " The child hadtoddled into the room, was hanging on to her skirts,and she raised him in her arms, kissed him passionately." Think o' what 'e'd 'ave been like in a home'-orleft with a minder. It' ud 'ave broken my 'eart, thatit would. I've seen 'em, those nobody-wants-yersorter children with their dirty noses, their colds intheir 'eads, their awful boots-they ain't children at all,that's what it comes to. Lie? Yes, I did lie, and whatthen? Here's Georgie, as well cared for, well grown asany little prince, and me goin' ter be married. And Ican't see, if you'll excuse me for sayin' so, miss, as it'sdone any harm to you neither."

She turned to the embarrassed man at her side,putting down the child.

" You brought the box for my things? Well, now,you can get along, like a good fellow an' don't let mesee yer face till the wedding day, there's plenty to dowithout havin' you hangin' round 'ere-leavin' every-thing straight so that the mistress won't be uncom-fortable with only Mrs. Whiffle, while we're away."

I thought of my dignity. I thought of it until 1wore it out with thinking. The honeymoon is over,Georgie-lent to me for half an hour before his bedtime-is playing with his bricks on the sitting -room hearth -rug, and his mother is in the kitchen making beef -olives in a way which gives the inaximuin of carnalpleasure for the minimum of coupons.

People talk of virtue and the reward of virtue.Well, now in a case like this, what can one say, or do?The Lord only knows the full extent, the chill perfection-of my virtue, and now-now, only to think of Annieand I ! I with my Hat and my beef -olives !

Rheumatismin hands-ended by KruschenVast numbers of men and women who were onceonly half well-tired, ' rheumaticky,' irritable,depressed-have discovered that the way to com-plete fitness, energy, and constant cheerfulness isto combat kidney acids by a daily dose of KruschenSalts. Unless the kidneys-or body filters-func-tion properly, certain acid wastes, instead ofbeing expelled, are allowed to pollute the blood-stream and produce troublesome symptoms :rheumatism for one; excessive fatigue for another.What is needed is a kidney aperient. KruschenSalts is one of the finest diuretics or kidneyaperients available for assisting the kidneys toexcrete acid impurities by direct action on therenal cells, thus causing a more rapid and copious' flushing ' action and washing away of thoseharmful acid waste products.' After suffering from rheumatism for eighteen years in myarms, hands, legs, feet and head, I derided to give KruschenSalts a trial. I am glad to say I have received great benefitfrom them. I have tried numerous so-called remedies,none of which have benefited me at all. My hands havebeen so had at times that I have been unable to hold any-thing with them until taking Kruschen Salts. Since thenI have been able to do practically anything I want.'

TAUGHT ME THE BEST

BEAUTY SECRET I KNOW"

"T MAGINE my dismay when I ar-t rived late in the afternoon for a

house -party dance and discovered abag of mine was missing ! The onethat contained my toilet things !

" I sent out at once to the nearestvillage. And the maid came back, notwith my usual face creams, but withthe ones I'd heard my friends talkabout so much - Pond's. Since then,I have used Pond's Creams daily. Iwouldn't do without them now."

This is whyPond's Creams make yourskin so lovely. You have two skins.Below the skin you see is your under -skin. In this are countless muscles andblood vessels. As you grow out of your'teens this under -skin gets sluggish.Circulation slows down. Little musclesrelax. Pores get cloggedwith secretions. Thenblackheads appear, laterlines and wrinkles come.

Cleanse your skin with Pond's ColdCream at night and before you'make-up.' Its fine oils rouse yourunder -skin to activity. Circulationimproves. Blackheads wipe away.Muscles are strengthened. Lines andwrinkles vanish.

For holding powder on smoothlyuse Pond's Vanishing Cream. Itkeeps skin smooth and nourishestissues. Pond's Creams cost from 6d.

FREE: Write your name and address below,attach a Id. stamp and post in sealed en-velope to Dept. P1603.2, Pond' s, Perivale, Green -ford, Middlesex, and we will send you FREESAMPLES of all five shades of Pond's FacePowder - Natural, Peach, Dark Brunette,Rachel t and Rachel 2.
