The conclud- tg number of the program was a jading by Archie Langley, entit- d, “The First Problem of World it’s wise to choose six/ There Is one sure way to get greater value in a low-priced car today— choose a Six! This greater value is instantly obvious when you drive a Chevrolet Six. You notice first of all its greater smoothness. There is no tremor in the steering wheel—no rattle in the floor boards—no rumble or drumming in the body. In addition to the finer perform ance of its six-cylinder motor, the new Chevrolet gives you truly remarkable economy. Its six-cylinder smoothness saves the entire car from the strain and wear of vibration. This, of course, lowers the cost of maintenance and assures a longer-lasting, longer- satisfying automobile. From the standpoint of operating expense, Chevrolet is equally eco nomical. No other automobile con sumes less gasoline and oil. No other shows a lower expense for tires.

Chevrolet gives you fully-enclosed, weather-proof, 4-wheel brakes; a modern fuel system—with the gasoline tank mounted in the rear; four long semi-elliptic springs, mounted lengthwise in the direc tion of car travel. It gives you beautiful Fisher bodies built of combination hardwood-and-steel. It gives you a heavy, rigidly-braced channel-steel frame. And it gives you a full ball bearing steering mechanism. Before you decide on any car in the low-price field, see and drive the Chevrolet Six. The more thor oughly you investigate, the more certain you are to conclude that it’s wise to choose a Six—for value, for performance . . . and for eco nomical transportation!

Robert Browning was born May 17, 1812, in Camberwell, a suburb of London, and grew up amid pleas ant surroundings. His father, a j$an of strong literary and artis tic tastes, encouraged him in his love for books and art and music. The fact, too, that he inherited perfect health had much to do with the physical enjoyment of life, which he often expressed in his poems, as in the lines from “Saul”— How good is man’s life, the mere living how fit to employ, All the heart and the soul and the senses forever in joy. His life was happy and harmon ious, free from the poverty and troubles that had burdened so many poets. Browning studied under tutors and for a brief time at University College in London, but most of his early education was secured at home, from the books which sur rounded him from his childhood, and by having free reign of his father’s great library, he was able to read many books far beyond-his years. Even before he could write, he had begun to compose verses, and by the time he was twelve, he , “An Incident of the French Camp” had already completed a volume of "How They Brought the Good News poems. ^rom Ghent to Aix,” and “Herve Although he has been called Rill” will appeal to any boy who Hhe scholar’s poet,” it was real likes war and action, truth, for there was never a poet He died in Venice in 1889, not; more intensely alive and human, long after writing the lines which nor one who felt more keenly the describe him so faithfully: joys of life than he did, for he in- One who never turned his back, ’ ’ but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, tho’ right were worsted, Wrong would triumph.

Among Browning’s greatest poems are “Pippa Passes,” “Saul,” “Rabbi Ben Ezra,” “The Boy and the Angel,” “One Word More,” “Prospice,” and the poems com prised in the collection called “Men and Women.” His master piece, considered so by all critics, is a series of monologues forming one great poem—“The Ring and the Book.” He is not distinctly a child’s poet, but such poems as The Junior class has started to B.

D. Robertson, coun ty farm agent, and there will be at least 2000 tons of material bought by the farmers individually for home-mixing. “The home-mixing of fertilizer is being almost universally used by the farmers in this county,” dec lares Mr. Robertson. “The farmers will not make as great a saving on their home-mixed goods this year as they have made during the past two years because there has been I • % M&i > ON THE ICE AND ON THE AIR A Sparkling, Refreshing • Program Broadcast from New York over NBC net work every Wed. eve.
