Radio Stars Take Toornto By Storm—Bert Lahr on New Fro-
grarin—Will Roger's Popularity
Amos 'N' Andy and Countess Albani
Ovations . 'cheers and eneoree, greeted those two famous stars of
the National Broadcasting Company , . Amos 'n' Andy. These popular
artists of the networks • came to Toronto through the arrangements of of-
ficials .of the Canadian Radio Commission, and made their appearance at a
large theatre, which was packed to capacity. The entire proceeds were
handed over to charity , , . the Commission put it's best foot forward when
they engineered such a fine entertainment. We had the privilege of
meeting these two black -face comedians and having a few words with them,
They expressed themselves in this way . . "During our whole career we
have not been .accorded a reception from an audience that will compare
with the one tendered us by this gathering of Canadian. people. We are
going to•return to Toronto and meet all our friends again ars soon as the time
will permit". These two chaps are a splendid example of congeniality, and
no doubt this has helped in no ,;mall way to bring to them the popularity
which they enjoy.
Appearing on the same program was Olga Countess Albani, soft voiced
soprano of the National Broadcasting Company, Countess Albani was an
instant hit with the audience •and received encore after encore, The
Countess came to the United States from Spain when :five years old with
her parents ... spent most of her earlier years in a convent .. , spent
her vacations on her father's sugar plantation in the West Indies .. later
studied music at the Horace Mann school in New York, finishing this she
sought an interview with the director of a new show and which was an
immediate hit,• It was Romberg's "New Moon". After one audition Coun-
tess Albani was given the dramatic lead, following this she was quickly
signed' by the National Broadcasting Company.
Countess Albani has many hobbies., she writes, paints, fences and
rides houses, spends most of her spare moments translating ,American
songs and ballads into Spanish.
Regardless of her love for a career, her six -year -ofd son is the biggest
Interest in her busy life. Countess, Albani says—"If I thought my pro-
fessional career interfered with. my being a good mother, I would desert
the :microphone."

Bert Lahr -Stays •
Eddie Cantor returns to the Chase & Sanborn Hour, Sept, 10Th, but that
isn't going to interfere with Bert Lahr at all. Lahr's sponsors have been
so pleased with his work that they have just signed him to a new 65 week
contract, and will put him back on the air October 4th, as the star of the
Wednesday night Chase & Sanborn Tea program with George Olsen and
his music , . , "Funnyman" Lahr's microphone success has followed closely
on an equally rapid rise to'*theatrical star stardom.
Will Rogers
Will Rogers, that'be-splattered dispenser of current humour was, brought
back to the air at the request of several senators. Rogers presided over a
mock meeting of the Senate during one of his• broadcasts from Washington
earlier in the Summer. The Senators enjoyed the fun he poked at them
on that occasion so much that when it was announced that he was leaving
the air all of them who were available sent him a telegram expressing the
hope that "you will return soon with your humourous and wholesome com-
ment on national affairs". It is said that Will has a great time with a
mouthful of gumbefore he is called to the mike for his program ... Won-
der if Will does It for a publicity stunt in the hope that some of, the gum
manufacturers might sponsor him on one of their programs.

Remark Caused Much Con-
troversy in Medical Cir-
cles—Widely Diver-
gent Opinions
Stout men and women who perspired
through the recent hot spell will be
cheered to read that, at the meeting
of the British Medical Association in
Dublin, a doctor declared that mental
fitness went with fatness.
Dr. H. R. C. Rutherford, of Dublin,
after saying that senility was the
greatest insanity -producing period of
life, added: "In this and other critical
periods I would emphasize the import-
ance of rest and preach the gospel of
fatness which in the earlier periods of
life, at any rate, is nearly always ac-
companied by mental fitness."
Commenting on his address after-
wards to a reporter, he said: "Fatness
is a bulwark against insanity."
Dr. Rutherford's declaration aroused
much controversy in medical circles,
and widely divergent views on the sub-
ject were expressed by. eminent doc-
tors in London..
"Getting.OId Quicker."
Sir W. Arbutnot Lane was probably
the fiercest in his denouncement of
fatness.
"In my long experience," he said, "I
have never found a fat, man or woman
more mentallyyfit than people of nor-
mal weight, Fatness is no good to any
body. Fat people get olcl quicker and
become careless and indifferent to
life."
Dr. King Brown, chairman of the
executive of the institute of Hygiene,
said he agreed with Dr. Rutherford
up to a point.
• "Fat people who find they are,•�l er-
spiring excessively in hot weather
should not worry; it is doing VAC e

Pansies Can be Freshened Now
Pansies, which have been flowering
since early spring, will naturally be
getting rather straggly, while the
flowers will now"be very small; we
may, however, improve matters by
cutting out all the old shoots quite
close to the ground.
After taking off the old shoots, stir
the soil around the plants, at the same
time working in a little fertilizer such
as old poultry manure, or bone meal
and wood ashes.
To provide plants for next season,
seed may be sown in the open from
mid-August until early September, or
until the end of September, if a cold
frame is used.
It is, however, better to get an early
start. Presuming that a start is made
in August, we will select a• partially
shaded position for the seed bed, but
keep away from trees. Cover the seed
not more than a Quarter of an inch; in
fact, one-eighth of an inch will be bet-
ter. If the soil is at all heavy, the
seed should be covered With a com-
post of equal parts of leaf mold and
light garden soil. To this add pure
sand.

Friendship
The value of friendship has never
been disputed. Platus, 200 years B.C.,
quoted the saying that "A friend in
need is a friend indeed!" A true
friend is a priceless possession. Money
cannot buy one. The only way to get
one is to be one. When you have a
friend to share your pleasures, you,get
twice the happiness out of them. Suc-
cess without someone to share it with
may be empty. Time given to being
a friend is never wasted. It is an in-
vestment in happiness, and if one you
have befriended proves faithless, that
is his loss, not yours. You gain by be-
ing a friend. You gain by baying a
friend.

That the sun has been sucking up
from half to three-quarters of an inch
of water from the surface of Lake Sim-
coe on the hot days this summer was
the surprising information gleaned by
the members of the Orillia Water,
Light and Power Commission on their
annual visit of inspection to the Swift
Rapids, 'when they chanced to fall in
with A. L. Killaly, Chief Engineer of
the Trent Canal, who was on a similar
mission. When it is remembered that
an inch of water from the surface of
Lake Sirncoe will keep Orillia's power

will be realized what this means.—
