al and puts a wealth of tender
feeing Into hs singing.
There were tears In Queen Mary's
eyts." It was when he had
finished singing before the British
royalty the queen was weeping;
the king was touched, too. And
that is the way Fanning' s voice
af feeted them. It was a glamor
ous day when the young baritone
sang for their majesties. The
feature article in connection with
this story progresses as follows
"With all the glamor and bri
lliance of that occasion, there was
yet an amusing aspect that struck
Fanning, though' he Is not the
sort ot American who laughs at
royal grandeur. The fun came in
recalling that, about to sing before
their majesties, he had been a $15-
a-month stenographer a few years
am ' When tha haritnriA and his
accompanist were ushered into the I
music room, the queen and other
ladies were awaiting them.
His colorful emotional singing ot
negro .spirituals seemed to touch
the king greatly. He asked to have
the singer presented and, shaking
hands, remarked, 'I had had never
heard negro spirituals before.
They are beautiful.'
And It is this great baritone
who sang before the king and
queen themselves who is to sing
the first Friday night in April be
fore a Salem audience.

A radio clock is one of the new

master clock keeps perfect time
and also operates a whole series
of clocks with which it is con

Much has been written about
the speed of radio but the Radio
Corporation of America on March
11 completed the first exact ex
periment along this line under
broadcasting conditions. A signal
was sent from New York to War
saw and . came back . on a lower
wave length from Warsaw, com
pleting the circuit of 8500 miles
in a little more than one-twentieth
of a second. The time was meas
ured by the distance between pho
tographic impressions on a film in
connection with a special timing
device.
Why is it that a "jars hound"
will write or telegraph his appre
ciation of a pleasing radio pro
gram, while a musical highbrow
will remain mute as an oyster?
Jazz Is more tonic perhaps but
anyhow one who appreciates good
music would do well to write a
word to that efifect to the broad
casting station sending out a pro
gram which he enjoys for that is
the only way the taste of the radio
public can be ascertained.
In the southern winter resorts
on the Atlantic coast radio is the
popular fad. There are radio
beach parties. Fashionable water
nymphs gather around a portable
receiving set and form a nucleus
for the jolliest of radio parties.
Since broadcasting stations have
been notified of a long list of
copyrighted music which they may
not send out from thert studios
without liability of suit, indepedn
ent composers are beng encour
aged to write music for these sta
tions to try out on the listening
public. Of course the music is
first passed upon by competent
critics but it seems extremely like
ly that a composer who i9 at all
gifted will now attain financial
success without waiting for years
in order to secure a favorable
hearing.
The winning copositions in the
radio news music contest are now
published and on sale. The prizes
offered were two of $150.00 each
Lindsay McPhail composed the
winning song of which Jack Nel
son wrote the words. Bert Green
received the other cash prize for
his Radio March and "Listen In'
leceivedsuch' favorable comment
that it also was published. This
contest was of national interest
Radio clocks are all right as
far as they go but what this coun
try needs is something that will
lift a man right out of bed when
the alarm goes off.
New aircraft are now being con
structed with an equipment that is
altogether complete (for sending
and receiving. A radio compass
by means of which location can
be exactly established is the new
est item added to this equipment.
England is the first country to
build a radio lighthouse. A re
volving aerial shaped like a four-
pointed star, takes the place of
revolving light. The impulses sent
out can be picked up by ships at
sea.
One Salem man says his brain
has a calloused spot from receiv
ing so often the same impression
in the same spot: "Pa, buy me
radio set." The boy's idea worked
Why not try out the same idea
with "Trail 'em to Salem?" If
we say it and write it often enough
it's bound to work. By all means
use the slogan in connection with
stickers so there will be no doubt
about which Salem we mean.
