FAILURE Greatest Factor to Success Is the Man Himself Ho Must Like Cows and Caro for Them. By William H. Easton. If the radio audience could realize some of the problems that have to be solved by those who are engaged In preparing programs, they would, I am sore, not only sympathize with them but would wonder how they preserve their sanity. No one before has ever bad to entertain a million, or so people every night; and consequently those who have undertaken this simple tittle task have had to stumble along as best they could learning as they go and profiting wherever possible They are, howby their mistakes. ever, exceedingly fortunate in having aa audience that tells them frankly lust what It thinks about their efforts; and with the hundreds of letters that reach them dally as a guide they have been able to work with some degree of certainty. The first rule that the letters lay down is: Give the radio public Infinite variety. If you were to open their mail some morning, the first letter would probably say: I enjoyed your concert so much last night Thats right ; give us more good music and do away with those execrable pop-wlThen the second selections. letter would say: For the love of Hike, cut out the uproar and give ' Letter ns good old American jazz. number three would read as follows: Professor Simpkins address on the Color of Cats" was the most Interesting speech I ever listened to, and letter number four would state: Why do you inflict your audience with such stupid stuff as the talk on Vats T I hung up my receiver in disgust. Difficult to Please Everybody. With testimony like this It is quite evident that it is very difficult to satisfy everybody all the tima The only thing to be done Is to draw from the entire field of music, literature, science, politics, culture, hygiene and religion, and thus please everyone at least part of the time. Consequently, those who do not like jazz music must bear in mind that many will listen to nothing else; while those who do not like speeches must remember that a very large number of radio listeners are isolated or are invalids, and absolutely depend upon radio for their contact with the outside world. The second point that the letters prove is, there must be constant Improvement In broadcasting both techNo station nically and artistically. can maintain its programs on a dead level and retain the interest of Its audience. The complaints soon begin to come In. Curiously enough, they are all to the effect that the programs are getting so poor. This is not the case. They are just as good as ever; but the taste of the audience has Improved. It is for this reason that KDKA Is experimenting so constantly In every Its engineers are incessantly striving for better tone reproduction and for the elimination of unpleasant aolses. Its program staff is Incessantly working for better artistic effects and for entirely new features. They began with the phonograph; then introduced artists and speakers in person; then went outside of the studio fbr church services. Important meetings, symphony concerts, operas, and sporting events; and recently established an orchestra so that Incidental music could be rendered In the best possible manner. Thus, In accordance n with the formula, Every day In every way we are getting bet--, But no one realizes ter and better. more fully how much more must be done in order to continue to preserve the good opinion of the radio audience. Must Eliminate Interference. The third important fact that develops from the correspondence is, Interference must be eliminated. Not enly must the audience be able to hear this station clearly and distinctly whenever they wish to bear It, but they must also be at perfect liberty to eliminate Its signals and receive equally clearly the program of some other station that may, for the moThis Is ment, please them better. their most serious problem at present. The great Increase In the number of stations has' filled the ether with chaos and confusion, and If this Is not remedied broadcasting will die out. The government, the radio engineers, and those broadcasting stations that are Interested in radio for Its own , sake, and not. for selfish reasons, are struggling with it valiantly. Though the situation may at times look hopeless. one should not forget that worse troubles than this have been smoothed at. , Broadcasting Is only an infant If It develops as rapidly within the next two years as It has In the past two (and there is every reason to believe that it will) Interference will disappear; trivial programs will make way for those of real Interest and Im portance and it? will be possible to bear not only the large American sta Mods clearly and distinctly, almost anywhere In tbe United States, but stations In London, Paris and Romo well-know- V as well.

Brown's Crime. (Prepared by ths United State Department of Agriculture.) The Imported thoroughbred stallion In the Illustration, shown Glaisdale, has recently been obtained by the bureau of animal Industry from the remount service of the War Department, for use in the work for the development of a breed of utility horses especially adapted to western range and farm conditions. He will be used at land. Other famous horses appearing in Glaisdales pedigree are: Acclaim, St Simon, Galopin, Isonomy and Ayrshire. The names of horses which were either winners or placed in the famous Derby appear nine times in ' Glaisdales pedigree. Glaisdale was personally selected In England by Maj.

Cabbage Maggot Attacks Prevented by Tar Paper Cabbages and related 'crops are gen erally badly attacked by the cabbage maggot, which gnaws off the outer surface of roots and bores Into the larger ones and finally Into the lower part of the stalk. By looking closely at young cabbage plants, near the ground level, the little white eggs may be seen. If the eggs are exposed to the sun they will dry up arid not hatch. The attack, however, Is generally prevented by the use of squares or disks of tarred felt paper placed around the plants when set out, therefore preventing the egg laying of the fly.
