Eadio has brought about a change in the mind of the public about music. A few years ago it was rare to find any except the musically educated •who could pronounce the names of such cbmposesr as Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, Rachmaninoff—or the mention of these and the names of other such composers produced in the mind of the hearers the thought that their compositions were heavy, dull, uninteresting and techinical. '"Tannhauser," for example, conveyed idea of something that only a trained musician would appreciate. Eadio has changed all this. Announcers must .use extreme care in their pronunciation of the compositions and composers or they are likely to receive call downs from very unexpected quarters. No entrance fee is required for the New Competition, Ask Me Another, which is to appear in "The Weekly Press." —3 A communal laundry will soon be opened at Birmingham, in which any housewife may do her washing and ironing. Special washing machines of simple design are being installed.
