Ex-Jockey's Wife Charges Husband Whipped Her By the Associated Press BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.—A 19 year-old wife yesterday charged her husband, a fornjer jockey, beat her with a whip. A circuit court judge gave Walter R. Ladzinski, the husband, 15 days to present arguments against issuance of an injunction which would prohibit him from molesting his wife Sarah. After Dark Embassy Room Becomes Studio When Welk Music Is Aired By Horry MacArthur Tomorrow night you will have an opportunity—probably the last one for some time—to see the Statler Embassy Room turned into the originating studio for a network radio program. It will be the second ABC-WMAL broad cast from Washington of Law rence Welk’s “Champagne Music” under the sponsorship of a Mil waukee brewer. It also will be the second time in Embassy Room history—if to morrow is like last Wednes day — that some one has sprung to buy the house a drink. Nobody says anything about naming your own poison, however, so you will either greet or recoil from that brew Mr. Welk is selling. It is quite a show that takes place in the Embassy Room when Mr. Welk goes on the air for dear old suds. In fact, any major broadcast is a show you have to see to believe. If you never be came interested enough in radio to wangle your way into a studio audience, you probably won’t be lieve it even when you see it.

Prop. ience—the first was last week— told in straightforward manner that it is a duty to applaud loudly after every musical number. “Let’s really yuk it up,” says the an nouncer There are few funnier sights than the spectacle of all those grown men—announcer, orchestra leader, producer, et al—turning on the charm and waving their arms to exhort the audience to a wild burst of feigned enthusiasm. One of the funnier sights, of course, is the spectacle of a group of grown people responding in kind and beating their palms in a wild burst of feigned enthusi asm. * * * * They laugned when Mr. Welk sat down at Music Corp. of Amer ice and proposed this program. They laugh at very few things around MCA, too, if there is a 10 per cent commission indicated anywhere. Mr. Welk, though, had considered it brilliant when one of his musicians, a man who had been with him 21 years, suggested that there ought to be some tieup between the “Champagne Music” of Lawrence Welk and “The Champagne of Beers.” He still thought it was a good idea after the MCA boys told him firmly that it would be impossible to sell an orchestra any more for a commercial radio program. (Ya gotta yuk it up.) So Mr. Welk tried another attack, a frontal one on,the brewer himself. His reception here was far more favorable than, say, the one re ceived by that man who rushed in to the advertising manager of Macy’s in New York shortly after the Dionne Quintuplets were born. “I got a million-dollar advertis ing idea for you,” he said. “Listen: Marie, Annette, Cecile, Yvonne and ...” “And what?” said the advertis ing manager as the man slunk out. Mr. Welk was not rebuffed, his idea was better than that one and he had the indisputable aid of an accent that has faint touches of brew-master about it. In three months he had the program sold and went back to MCA to report. They didn’t laugh this time: just refused to believe him. He didn’t care. He had ’em. * * * * Busman’s Holiday Department: Artini and Consuelo were cele brating a night off at the Carlton Congo Room the other eve and you know what they were doing.

THE ONLY INSTANT COFFEE with that \jLf "GOOD TO THE LAST DROP” FLAVOR! f ? : r There was Plenty for A.ll ...only when men were Free to work for Themselves! Did you know that the Pilgrims nearly starved to death ? That they suffered hun ger for two long years, with never enough food in the Col ony’s storehouse? Have you heard how the Gov ernor and his councilors had complete control of the land and what people produced? How they tried to route the Colonists to raise more grain; and how they found a way that worked? During their first year, food was scarce. Even after the 1621 harvest was gathered, the daily ration was only about a quarter of a pound of bread for each persori. In the spring of 1622, the Colonists complained they were too weak to work raising food. Al though they were, on the whole, deeply religious, some were so hungry that they stole food from their starving fellow-workers. Young men complained because they had to work hard to feed other men and their wives and children. Strong men who were heads of fami lies griped. They said that even though they put in long hours and raised good crops, they and their children received no more food or clothes than men who were unable or unwilling to put in more than a few hours’ work a day. Women rebelled when ordered to cook for men not their husbands, or when requested to wash their clothes. And what about the husbands of women who had been set at these jobs? Their wives, they growled, were little better than slaves, and many men declared they wouldn’t permit their women-folk to do that kind of work. After months of bitter complaints, the Governor and chief men of the Colony came to the con clusion that they were making a bad mistake. As Governor Bradford said, they had thought they were “wiser than God.” And so, in 1623, they turned away from gov ernment dictation and gave each family a parcel of land for its own use. * *• Then what a change took place! Even the women went into the fields willingly, taking their chil dren along with them. All — men, women and children — planted as much corn as they felt they could possibly work. People who had formerly complained that they were too weak to dig or hoe, declaring that it was tyranny to make them undertake field work, gladly undertook to plant and cultivate for themselves. And when the harvest was gathered, instead of famine they had plenty. And so they all gave thanks to God. And what a Thanksgiving they celebrated! No wonder they gave up for all time their shar ing of poverty . . . their belief that it was good for all to suffer scarcity together. They found that it is better for each man to work for himself to produce plenty, because that benefits everyone. * A Free Offer of Special Interest to Parents, Students, Teachers.
