Broadcast Series
Washington, Dec. 27 U.R

campaign through radio broadcasts.

that Senate Majority Leader
Scott W. Lucas, 111., would make
a 15-minute speech next Friday

Biggest 'Sweet Potato' Puts Out
With Tunes, Aided by Charley
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Dec. 27 (U.B Charles Lindsay can play any tuna
you can think of on the biggest "sweet potato" in the world.
Charley is 59, but doesn't look It. He has made a bass ocaraina,
otherwise known as a "sweet potato" which weighs 11 poundi
and looks more like a navy blimp.

former Lady Sylvia Ashley Fairbanks Alderly, as they board

fill This ocarina is his latest.
He got the Idea when he or
ganized an ocarina band aboard
ship in World War One. He
noted that in solo the "sweet
potato" was all right, but that
when you got three or four of
cm together somebody was
usually out of tune.
Charley investigated and
learned that all of them were
off-key. So he retired to his
work-shop.
He first experimented with
clay. He made a lot of little
"sweet potatoes." They sound
cd pretty good. But they were
sopranos.
"The guitar and fiddle players
told me that they practically
had to bust their "E' strings to
keep in tune with me," he said
"to get high enough."
"So I worked on from there.
I made a baritone ocarina out
of clay. It weighed 12 pounds
and I could hardly handle it."
The capping clmax is this bas
job. It's made out of wood. Took
about 500 hours of work to make
it. Charley puts it on a stand
and blows into it from a chair.
The patent is pending and the
old sailor has the National So
ciety of Inventors behind him
this time.
Lindsay, who is on the re
tired list in the navy, Is work
ing with an outfit known as the
"Rock Creek Promenaders." The
boys play for square dances in
the Washington area and you'd
be surprised how many there
are here. Congressmen and sen
ators attend.
The Massillon Tigers and the
Canton Bulldogs, pioneer pro
football teams, both were form
ed in 1905.

Mito, Japan, Dec. 27 (U.R)
Some 50,000 miners at the Hi

The walkout was called in pro
test against a government-sponsored
mediation plan in the min
ers' current wage dispute.
