Forcing Melodrama From Plain Facts - V A ooU many people have toyed lately with the idea that the news-hungry citizen ought to be able to sit at home in : hia', arm 'chair and have the news of the day wafted to his receptive ears from the loud-speaker of his radio. ; In theory, its not a bad idea. In practice, it seems to be! a completely non-explosive dud. Not long ago a gang of convicts escaped from the Indiana In-diana state prison. fX--An Indiana radio station immediately set to work to broadcast the story of the man hunt. m i is i i 1 i 1 A. - ine man nuni wasn i naving a great ueai or iuck rignt at the niQment, and some radio official decided that the lis--teners-in deserved more excitement than the plain facts were itkniv ti Trnvilt SJrvthnt nart. nf t.h rtilhlir. tvhinh tripd to get its news out of the loud-speaker began to hear a wild and woolly tale of a running gun battle, with a juicy slice of - trumped-up melodrama substituted for facts. s v- fc Js r U'f . As a result, the listeners-in were hoaxed and the en- frmAnr nffirvrs wVir won frvinir tn ratrh t.h mnvicts found'the work seriously hampered. Jv In a protest to the Federal Radio Commission, Capt. Mutt Leach of the Indiana state police asserted : "This broadcast seriously interfered with the work of th?e 65 state police under my command and a considerable number of other-enforcement officers. . . . We. wasted several sev-eral hours of precious time. . . . Telephone wires of the state police at their barracks in Chesterton, Ind., were tied Up for several hours by persons who apparently had heard "he broadcast and were calling for information." 1.; So the net result of all this was that the attempt to catch the convicts was hampered, some scores of citizens were frightened badlv and nobody knew just .what was happening until the daily papers came around with the real facts in the case. , This is just the sort of thing that has happened over and over again in radio news broadcasts. The Los Angeles earthquake some time ago took on the proportions of one of the great disasters of all time until the newspapers came out with the truth. - v Wild-eyed announcers have told us of frenzied and sensational sen-sational prize fights which, next day, turned out to be affairs af-fairs so spiritless and slow that the participants were almost tossed out of the ring for failing to try. The Indiana man hunt was a desperate gun battle until the newspaper reporters re-porters turned in their reports. So it goes. The loud-speaker may be a fine medium for hearing feminine-voiced tenors and third-rate vaudeville. For accounts of the day's news, it seems to be a good deal Jess than reliable.

Do You Know? These Curious Things That much has been written about the Irish "wake." It is one of the strangest of modern customs cus-toms and dates back to the time of St. Patrick. There is an old myth that when St. Patrick was dying he requested his weeping and wailing friends to forego their grief and rejoice, and he. is also supposed to have advised them to "take a drop of something to, drink." But the Irish "wake" is a relic of. primitive custom. It was originally origi-nally intended to prevent the dead man's soul from returning and prowling around the homes of survivors. sur-vivors. It was founded to relieve friends and relatives of the tension and fear they felt in the presence of, death, which they could not understand. un-derstand. The term "wane " probably is derived from the word "awake," since the object of the custom is for all to keep awake and watch the body, to keep the soul from returning re-turning and doing mischief.
