at WAAW.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Fulton, so
prano, nod Mrs. Amy Cooper Brown
gave a delightful program Thursday
evening at Tho Omaha Bee station
WAAW. Miss Fulton's voice 1ms a
sympathetic quality and her high
notes are exceptionally clear. Her
first song, "Friend O' Mine," she in
terpreted with depth of feeling. She
touched lightly her second number,
“Haln," with Its fleeting melody, and
next sang a negro dialect lullaby,
"Honeychile." As a final selection
she sang tho old time favorite, "Bed
head," which has become a classic.
.Miss Fulton gave It with spirit, as
she Is, herself, one of the sisterhood.
Miss Helen Jacobs, who played her
accompaniments, also gave a musical
reading of Joyce Kilmer's poem,
"Trees." by Mrs. Brown. The lat
ter gave as her numbers, Kipling's
well known "If," and an amusing
apostrophe to the woman driver who
blocks traffic, entitled "To the Imdy
in an Electric." In closing she read
a few quatrains from the “Rubalyet
of Omar Khayyam, the Persian poem
which is the foundation of “Omar the
Tentnmker.” Guy Gates Post's play,
coming to tho Strand next week in
picture form.
Mrs. Brown has a pleasing voice
and a charming delivery. She read
with expression but with no overem
phasis. A noint of interest lay in the
fact that Mr. Brown heard his wife’s
numbers from Norfolk. Neb., and at
t'ody, AVyo.T a brother of Mrs. Brown
wag listening.
Local Notes.
Porter Qulnby, who heard Persh
ing's Chicago speech Wednesday
night over the radio at the Radio
Relay association's shack in Benson,
was especially Interested in It be
muse he served with the Pershing
Rifles at the state university. He
said ever word of the speech came

10 of which are connected with Wash
ington by u direct wire. More than
15.000 individuals, firms and ratlroals

cast throughout the country. It will
not be long before every farmer In

lions and one central receiving sta
tion along the AtlanXic const which

Questions
Bee Radio Editor: Why Is it that I
tannot pick up the Omaha radio sta
tions when I can hear Davenport,
la., and Kansas City and Denver on
my set? We live Just weFt of North
Platte and I have a crystal set. Are
the Omaha sending stations less pow
erful than the others? Yours very
truly. T. O. •
The Omaha stations are less power
ful than the others you mention, hut
they have heeu heard frequently in
Wyoming and have been clearly
picked up by crystal sets m Denver,
so you should be aide to *p t them.
Perhaps you are not tuning in ex
actly enough. Station WAAW, Oma
ha Grain exchange, for instance,
broadcasts its market reports at 4So
meters, but on Thursday nights it
drops from 4S5 to 360 meters for The
Omaha Bee concert. Have you tried
to get the music at tHat wave length?

“God wanted to be
everywhere, so He
created mothers*’
It was these God-created mothers who taught you
the prayers of childhood and tried, oh so hard, to
guide little feet into the paths of rectitude and right,
and no matter how far nor how often you strayed,
mother took you back to her heart, forgave the past
and started you out again.
Don’t you believe that mother’s religion was the right
kind? Well at
All Saints Episcopal Church
they still believe in and try to practice that religion.
Come tomorrow night at 7:45 and help sing some
of the old hymns mother taught you—listen to just
the kind of talk from the Rector, Mr. Casady, thnt
will help you through the week and enjoy a fellow
