JESSICA DRAGONETTE, NBC, N. Y UEE PYORRHEA creeps upon its victims unawares

IT is the pernicious nature of pyor- rhea to infect the mouth as long as ten years before the victim knows it. This dread disease of the gums comes to four people out of five past forty.

Not content with robbing humanity of half of all adult teeth lost, it also breeds virulent poisons which it sends coursing throughout the entire system to undermine the individual's general health.

Starting at the "tartar line," where teeth meet gums, the infection works down the roots; and often before it is recognized, pyorrhea becomes so deeply entrenched that all the skill of your dentist is called for to save your teeth and health.

returned from the convention JUSTof the National Association of Broadcasters in Detroit. The meet- ings were devoted to a discussion of the problems of radio entertaining. These men got right down to business and plans are under way that should result in better programs in the future. In a ringing talk Frank W. Elliott, Cen- tral Broadcasting Association, chair- man of the Ethics Committee, voiced the general sentiment of those present when he said: "The public comes first, the radio station second and your job third." Listened in on an audition of a band at one of the large radio stations re- cently and was astounded at the lack of interest in arranging the artists so that they gave the best possible per- formance.

"THE PARADE OF THE STATES"

TWO great forces bind the people of our continent together: trans- portation and communication. Of these the automobile typifies the first; the radio the second. It is therefore especially fitting that

General Motors should devote its radio broadcasts to this new series of programs, designed to promote wider travel and better understand- ing. Every week through "The Parade of the States" a different state is visited, and for the first time radio draws back the curtain on the

Panorama of America.

A large concert orchestra under the direction of Erno Rapee is heard presenting musical numbers suggestive of the state's history and de- velopment. The orchestra will be supplemented with special guest artists from week to week. A tribute to the state written by Bruce

Barton is read by Charles Webster, noted radio actor. Graham

McNamee is guest announcer as in the past.

Copies of the state tributes, as they are broadcast, are available in scroll form suitable for framing, to anyone who may care to receive them.

For the next ten weeks the following states will befeatured:

OHIO December 7th NEVADA January 1 ith

I'd head for Czernowitz where homes were homes and not Manhattan skyscrapers; to Czernowitz where I'd walk through streets fragrant and bright-hued with flowers.

I.T WAS not a month as I had expected but nearly a year before I walked in the streets of Czernowitz. And I'd have needed more than the imagination of a Jules Verne remotely to have pictured the circumstances under which I should walk those streets. It happened this way. After arriving in Hungary I decided to explore the gypsies in the southern wing of the Carpathians before moving North and East to Czernowitz. That was fortu- nate for it enabled Fate to pitch me down on the Serb Frontier to become mixed up with the first fighting of the World War.

By early September I had formed an alliance with the one man whose money and power and backing could make this possible for me. That was 15

16 C^ngels Rush

THERE'S a yarn behind this "Myrt and Marge" five-a-week act over the Columbia network —a yarn proving that those who rush in where angels fear to tread may not be so foolish after all. Ask Myrt, she's the heroine of this "rushing in" story, and Myrt's mother didn't raise any foolish children. Chicago is filled with radio experts. Some of them insist the Midwest me- tropolis is now the radio capital of the nation. In the past two years just about every one of these experts has conceived the Big Idea for Mr. Wrigley, the chewing gum and baseball king, for doesn't Mr. Wrigley discuss million dollar advertising contracts with as much nonchalance as you and I display in driving up to a filling station to order five gallons of common?

WrITH most of these experts it wasn't the Big Idea, it was just another idea, an idea dying in the words, "I'll bet Mr. Wrigley would grab that, if he just knew about it." Others actually put the ideas on paper, and Mr. Wrigley's secretaries and ad- vertising representatives probably re- ceived, and returned, as many scenarios as did the movie studios back in the Troupers Myrt and days when the public fondly believed anyone could write and sell a motion picture, for a fabulous consideration.

10:45 to 11 p. m. E. S. T. for the west. Miss Vail selected Don- na Damerel, with whom she has been associated in the theatre, as "Marge." For the most part the oth- ers in the cast are also drawn from those back- stage days. Irene Wicker, Bess Johnson and Patricia Manners are the only names previously known Myrt among radio listeners. Bobby Brown, veteran in Chicago microphone circles, is directing the productions.
