Life in the band was a strenuous business. When the musicians weren't on the stage, the concert platform or in some dance hall, they were in the recording studio, or rehearsing, or travelling. I remember one day particularly well; not because it was very much out of the ordinary for the band, but because we were checking up information for passports, and I had to be with the boys all the while to get, during such odd moments as I could, the details from some twenty or so of them. /The day should have started with a recording session at 10 o'clock, but as the orchestrations were late(they usually were becauseit was necessary to wait until the last moment to see which tunes were becoming the most popular) we couldn't rehearse the day before. So a rehearsal was called in the studio for 9 o'clock. The session eventually finished at about 1.30, just in time for the lads to get a bite before the matinee at the Palladium. Then followed the usual two more houses at the Palladium, with another rehearsal sand- wiched in between, and then a mad rush to the motor coaches because there was a late night dance booked at the Streatham Astoria until 2.0 a.m. Then those Continental tours. Usually lasting anything from four to six weeks, generally they consisted of one night stands. That is to say, an appearance in a different town, sometimes even a different country, each night.Playing in the evenings, the boys spent most of the mornings and afternoons, and often some of the night, travelling, with rehearsals often held in the trains. Any moments they could find between times they had to themselves-for packing and unpack- ing as they moved from town to town.If it Modernistic im- hadn't been for Jack's level headedness, and the pressionof Jack lively good humour of Jack Jackson and Pogson, Hylton, at once a then members of the band, I don't think some dance -band veteran of the weaker spirits could have stood it. and Peter Pan !

SOUPS AND SAUCES FOR WINTER DAYS Lessons on Making Puddings and Icing Cakes WINTER days mean warming soups, dishes flavoured with tasty sauces, and positively scrumptious puddings. All this means that the housewife has to put on her cookery thinking cap. But even the most delicious recipes can go wrong.Soups may turn out thin and watery or too oily.Sauces may, for some'reason you simply cannot fathom, be lumpy or have a pasty flavour. And there are simply dozens of things that can go wrong with a pudding. If you have troubles with soups, sauces, or puddings, hereis good news for you.Susan Croft, principal of the College of Modern House- keeping, has written two booklets on these sub- jects, telling how to get the best out of all the different kinds of recipes, and explaining in detail the faults and their remedies. You can get these booklets quitefree by writing to Dept. C1.68, Stork Company, Unilever House,E.C.4.They arecalled A Lesson in Making Puddings and A Lesson in Soup and Sauce Making.Yet another booklet in the series is A Lesson in Icing Cakes, which gives a fund of useful tips. In all three cases the booklets include the most helpful diagrams and charts, showing not only what to do, but also points to avoid.

The ease with which that department IIIIIIIIIIM1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111could be converted into a propaganda section creates an ugly inference. The effect with which radio is being used by warlike rulers at the moment leaves no doubt that if Britain joins in the poisonous spreading of war -breeding venom across the ever -listening peoples, she will have taken perhaps the best step she could to precipitating a world war. Again the defeatist will reply that if the rulers of men are warlike, so will be their broadcasting. But the defeatist is blind to the one hope left for preventing radio becoming the most powerful factor in the driving of the war machine now hurtling towards us. He has not realised that if the rulers of only the progressive and pacific -intentioned nations saw radio for what it is-a double-edged instru- ment which can with equal effect be used either to destroy men or to save them-and then sat around a table and agreed to use radio only for the betterment of internationalrelations, the mad career of the world towards its own destruc- tion could be checked.

RADIO announcers are proverbially gifted with a vast number of qualities and abilities, and are proverbially reserved about their own achievements. However fantastic this myth is for many whose voices we hear, Allan Rose, the new and young announcer from Radio Toulouse, seems to prove it true.On the air he has won popularity by the charm of his voice and delivery; off the air his assets and varied career have made him many friends. Leslie Allan Rose is tall and well built, smart and alert without ostenta- tion.His black hair is brushed back above a high forehead, under which two deep blue eyes look at you quietly, but verypenetratingly.He looks like a quick and successful sportsman, which indeed, he is. At golf his official handicap is 3, and he was one of the leading members of the Stage Golfing Society.He has also been a keen tennis player, and has won great proficiency in cricket.As if this were not enough, he is also an exceptionally fine dancer !Dancing is his real recreation.Reading is another (chiefly detective stories), and so is listening to grand opera-when he gets the chance. His career can be said to have only just begun, and yet his past record is already a full one.

Films were now appealing to him.After such experience Allan was thinking of seriously preparing himself for studio work.He had already been given a part in Constance Bennett's film Thunder in the Air. e He was mistaken :ether was to be his medium, not celluloid.Was this because, as Owen Nares had once warned him during a game of golf, he was too handsome to be given a really striking and original role?Such
