For eleven years he wna soloist with the famous John C. WVber prize band of America. For yeara he was the sen sation of the Clnclnautl Symphony or chestra. "There Is nothing unnstial about my musical career," says Webster, "Al most any boy. at some tlm or another, cherishes a secret ambition to pity band Instrument It Just happened that I was given nn opportunity to carry out that ambition. I was the happiest youngster In the world when my father bought me an Instrument and secured for nut a competent In structor. Music became my one Inter est.

"It Is the death blow," ninny mu sicians said five years ago when America awak ened to find the J. F. Buyer. lusty Infant Radio on Its doorstep. "Our children wltl cease to create. They will only listen." But from the convention delegates and they represented every section In the United States It was definitely learned thut radio has done no such thing. The music men submitted fucts In support of their new contention. Heads of music schools report an attendance 100 per cent higher thnn that of the pre-radlo era. Music house owners report a utile of small Instruments more than twice as large as tbut of Ave years ago. ' The city of Chicago contributed more evidence.
