Seven out of the fortv national finalists selected from tens of thousands of young contestants between the ages of IS and 5 years by the Atwater Kent Foundation h3e come from California which leads all the states in the production of young aspirants to radio concert and operatic fame and fortune. And six of the seven finished either first or second in the national trials! Ohio, the birth place of Presidents of the United States, can claim to be the only state that has produced two national first place win ners, in the persons of Miss Carol Deis, soprano, of Dayton, who is being proclaimed throughout the country this month as the best young woman singer found by the 1930 Audition, and Miss Genevieve Irene Rowe, also soprano, of Wooster, vho won the first place honor last year. New Orleans, with its traditions of culture and artistic achievement extending back to the early days of American settlement, however, is the single city that has furnished the nation with ten per cent of its forty young finalists four of the young immortals being from the quaint old southern metropolis. Colorado and Texas may lay claim to having provided the nation with three each of the forty young singers and the city of Denver asserts It self as second to New Orleans with two ot the Colorado three, one ot them being Miss Agnes Davis, who won first place in 1927, the first year of the auditions. Illinois, Michigan, New York and Arkansas have provided two finalists each, and Pennsylvania, Oregon, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Missouri. Georgia, Rhode Island, Maine, New Jersey, Mississippi and South Dakota have each supplied one. The Inquiring reporter who conceived the Idea ot making a kind of box score jf the four years of intensive search for young voices conducted by the Atwater Kent Foundation which has re sulted in the turning out of a chorus of i1) espe cially good voices has also inquired what hap pened to the young people after they were dis coveredand what use did they make of the opportunity and the funds awarded them by the Foundation. The purpose of the nation wide uditions, it was explained, has been ta 2n3 where the best voices grow and give their possessors encouragement to go on to seek fame and to: tune in radio work. To this end the Fon-idation has offered 25.000 in cash awards Hi musical scholarships to the ten finally se. ected. The selection was made through seiles of elimination auditions, local, state and geographical districts. There are five of the geographical districts and the young man and young woman selected from each of these con stituted the national finalists who met in New York and sang in competition before musical experts to determine the division of the cash awards and scholarships. Mors than a thousand communities held local auditions in 1930 which year had the greatest number of auditions and entrants. Another feature of the auditions the 1930 contest empha sized was the never-say-die spirit of the young singers ot the country. In the state auditions more than fifty per cent ot the contestants were those who had tried in previous auditions and failed, only to try again and win. Four of the ten finalists this year, were singers who bad tried before, one of them having tried out In all ot the previous auditions! The inquiring reporter's question as to what the young people have done with the opportu nities for training and cash to see them through it, is answered in reports from the various na tional finalists of other years of tbolr activities. The 1930 group have Just started and will spend their next year or so in hard study as a result of their victories. Miss Dels, and Raoul Nadeau, baritone, of New York, tho young man winner, both want to do concert work and Mr. Nadeau aspires to an operatic career. It would not be expected that the after-careers of the winners ot other years would run along uniform grooves. Their accomplishments and successes have been as individual and versatile, as would be expected among thirty youthful personalities. Donald Novls, Pasadena, California, tenor, who won first award of 15,000 In 1323 has be come a popular star in sound pictures. His sixth picture, "Kyes of the World" already has been released. He was presented this fall by Arthur Hammersteln In musical comedy. He has ap peared In such sound picture lilts us "Bulldog Drummond" with Ronuld Colman; "Kathleen Mavourneen" with Sally O'Nell; "New York Nights" with Norma Talmadge; "Irish Fantasy," a musical picture based on the music of Victor Herbert, arranged by Dr. Hugo rlsenfeldt, and "Monte Carlo," a recent hit. He Is spending his spare time studying under the direction of the famous composer-coach, Frank LaForge. Hatel Arth, the Washington, D.

He has done some concert work and Is studying opera. Mi3s Genevieve Rowe, the Wooster. Ohio col lege girl, who received the J5.000 first award In the girls' division last year, continued with her college work and last June took degrees both in arts and In music. With this thorough groundwork she is now in New York studying for grand opera with Yeatman Griffith, vocal pedagogue who has launched a long line ot singers on successful operatic careers. Miss Rowe, along with other first and second place winners, has been heard during the Atwater Kent Hour. Miss Agnes Davis, first girl to receive the Foundation's highest cash award this was in 1927 is now in her second year with the Phila delphia Grand Opera. She openel the season singing in "Glanna Schicchi" by Puccini. On December 11th she was heard in "ThaU" and later will have roles in "Lohengrin" and "Tann hauser." Wilbur Evans, Philadelphia bas-baritone, has had two years at Curtis Institute and since he finished first in the men's division of the first audition in 1927, has sung upwards ot fifty suc cessful concerts in all parts ot the United States. Cu tLe aailible screen he has been featured by Fox Movietone and was starred In a musical comely, "Bambino," on the Pacific Coast. Winners of lesser positions In the national finals have gone on carving cut successful careers for themselves with Just as great promise as those who finished nearer the top. The case of Marls Healy, the Manchester, N. 11. soprano, is inter esting and typical. Miss Healy has sung over the radio repeatedly and has made Innumerable concert appearances in New England, New York and the Mid-West In between concert engagements, Miss Healy has continued her music studies In New York and Chicago. Last summer she broke the record of the Chicago College of Music by capturing the scholarships in both singing and dramatic art, each of which carried a cash award of $1,000. The second National Radio Audition gave young Wilfred Engelman, a Detroit choir singer, his first trip to New York. He placed third among the youths in the finals. This was bui a prelude to greater things. Returning to Detroit he sang "Valentine" in "Faust" and "Silvio" in "Pagliacci" with the Detroit Grand Opera Com pany. For more than a year now Engelman has been in Milan, Italy, studying opera under Carpi. Fifth among the girl finalists In 1928 the young Cuban, Carmen Rosell, with a fine New Orleans cultural background, has forged steadily ahead In concert work during the past two years. She is now a scholarship student In the New Orleans Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art and Is the leading soprano with Le Petit Opera Loulsianals. The Inquisitive scribe who endeavored to get at the far-rcaihlng facts of the auditions, how ever, found another phase to its activities not to be uncovered in the records of the national finalists the ten young men and young women each year has favored with ca;h awards and scholarships. The broadcasting stations through out the country are the custodians of these facts and almost any of the larger broadcasting stations will show them to an investigator, the Inquiring reporter found. There being four dis tinct phases to the national audition local, state, geographical district and the national finals what rewards, if any, come to those who lose? One ot the outstanding facts ot the 1930 audi tion, as already dlscloflcd, Is that reward does coma to those who lose, in the conviction that each of them has something to be developed, in the knowledge that their gift must be further developed and in the inculcation of a spirit to try again. As has been stated, the 1330 records show that more than CO per cent of the state winners this yeur were singers who had pre viously tried and been found wanting in one or more necessary qualifications but who, aftot further study, had won in another trial. These the reporter found, were very real rewards it the form of encouragement to Individuals and to communities to continue their participation and support. But there is stlli another phase the actual and material rewards ot some ot those who lost in the audition Itself; who failed to go turther than the state or district trials. And this phase presents an interesting commentary on the very lively interest in, and encouragement of, young talent by the existence ot radio broadcasting centers. Like in all other centers of popular entertain ment, a constant flow of new material Is neces sary for broadcasting stations and a constant Improvement of old material Is essential to maintenance of public esteem. Broadcasting its tions, like newspapers, sell space. In newspapers, it Is space In inches. In broadcasting stations it Is space in time. Both institutions are sup ported by their sales ot this space and both de pend on popular fancy as reflected In clrcula tion for newspapers and In habitual listeners for broadcasting stations to determine the value of the space they have to sell. Therefore the annual recurrence of the Na tional Radio Auditions brought into broadcast ing studios hundreds of new and unheard of singer from the listener areas of the stations areas In which it was very much to the advan tage of the station to have a special interest. Each state audition has been broadcast and listeners have acted Jointly with professional Judges in the selection ot the winners. The re suit has been that not only has each of the annual auditions brought into radio stations In each of ths states a group of young singers never before beard of but each has brought to the station the best young singers from large num bers of communities within their broadcasting area the best, as selected by competition. Therefor each local audition, in a general way, and each state audition, in a very positive way, has called to the attention of radio program-makers not only the very best talent in the state, but talent from sections of the stats which it was of material and business impor tance, should be interested in the station and which should be established as habitual listeners. Hence rosters of staff talent ot stations in all sections ot the country will b found to Include the names of perhaps hundreds of these young musicians, now engaged at regular salaries and providing tbs listeners of those stations with regular programs. Statistics of what this amounts to are almost impossible, but Inquiry of broadcastlng'ofllclals in different sections of the country disclosed the fact that the auditions have supplied each of them with from one to five new voices and In some Instances with young people ot artistic bent whose talents as instrumentalists or announcers were developed after their voice, first heard in national audi tion competitions, had called the attention ot the stations to them. An outstanding example of this is found In the person of George lleuchlcr, one of the best known announcers of the Columbia Broadcast ing System, whose voice is also heard In bari tone recital through that system from coast to coast. Young Beuchler was a student in Wash ington, I). C, when his attention was called to the 1928 National Radio Audition. He entered and with his baritone voice won the District of Columbia audition. That was the same year Miss Hazel Arth, also of Washington, D. C, the only contralto to win a national competition, carried away the flrct national prize. , Beuchler represented the nation's capital in the geographical district competition with Miss Artb, and though she won be lost. Returning to Washington he was offered and accepted position with Radio Station WRC, managed and operated by the National Broadcasting Company. Later he went to the Columbia Broadcasting Sys tem where he Is now employed as an announcer and artl.st. sei't Is Hcrveil.

Australian Ballot Now Universal in America Australian ballot Is the name given to a system of secret voting. The minis arose from the fact that the tMctitlul features of the system weri first Introduced In Iv'S iu South Aus tralia, one of the stales of the Aus tralian commonwealth, sas an artlclo In Pathfinder Magazine. A system of voting modeled ufter the Aunirallun syctein was adopted In liiigliiud In 1S7J. In the United Slates this meth od was f!rt employed In local elec tions st I.ouI.hIIIi Ky., In 1SSS, and In the same year Massachuficti adopt ed secret voting for all stato elections, beginning In W.K The Australian bal lot, In one form or other, finally was adopted by every stale In the t'nlon and It still Is employed except where It has been supplanted by voting ma chines, which retain the essential fen tures of the Australian system. According to the original Australian system, the names of all candidates Appeared on the same ballot, which was compiled, primed and placed at the polls under the direction of public officials and at public expense; In other words, the ballot Itself was strictly official. The system had a threefold purpose '.0 prevent dishon esty In counting votes, to Insure abso lute serrecy and to protect the voter from outside influence while easting Ms vote. These were accomplished by giving each voter a separate bal lot and compelling him to go alone Into a booth where he Indicated bis choice by making a mark opposite tho names of the candidates whom he pre ferred. The ballot then whs folded and dropped Into a ballot box.
