Recent Survey by Station WBAL of Toledo Dis-
closes Interesting Facts About Music.
Chopin has replaced Victor Herbert in at least one
community as the most popular composer. A recent
survey by WBAL, Toledo, Ohio, disclosed not only
that jazz devotees are growing less every day and
the musical celebrities once again are ascending to the
throne of public favor, but that more compositions
of Chopin have been broadcast within the last year
from WBAL than those of any other composer. Vic-
tor Herbert's works ranked second.
The following is the list of most popular composers
in the order of their popularity: Chopin, Herbert,
MacDowell, Beethoven, Grieg, Debussey, Tschaikow-
sky, Schumann, Verdi, Liszt, Schubert, Handel, Men-
delssohn, Massenet, Mozart, Brahms, Friml, Nevin,
Cad man, Wagner, Chaminade and Puccini. Other
composers for whose works there was a lesser
demand were Bach, Bizet, Dvorak, Delibes, Haydn,
Weber, Gounod, Del Riego, Carrie Jacobs Bond,
Horatio Parker, Irving Berlin, George Chatwick, A.
Walter Kramer and others.
RUBBER IS EDISON STUDY

FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
Wizard Resumes Studies and Laboratory Tests in
Search of Home Grown Substitute.
Thomas A. Edison has resumed his studies in the
origin and formation of rubber, M. subject in which he
became interested last winter while he was living at
Fort Myers, Fla. He spent three days earlier in the
week in the library of the New York Botanical Gar-
den in the Bronx, reading books on rubber, and
Barukh Jonas, who is associated with him in his
laboratory, spent the same days reading scientific
works on rubber in foreign languages. Abstracts were
made by Mr. Jonas of these books for the benefit of
the inventor.
To be near the Botanical Gardens, Mr. Edison went
early in the week to visit his sister-in-law. Mrs.
W. W. Nichols, in Scarsdale. This period of study
made his second at the Botanical Gardens, for he
spent May 16 there reading up on rubber trees and
their sap. Mr. Edison hopes to find a convenient
substitute for rubber that can be grown on American
soil, his secretary announced recently from the Edison
office in Orange, N. J.
OPPOSES AMERICAN JAZZ.
liritish broadcasters are opposed to American jazz
music, according to Paul Specht, internationally fa-
mous dance band leader, and very little jazz music
is heard by British radio listeners as a rule. "The
British have perfect control of radio, however," Mr.
Specht said, "and I am inclined to consider their
system of radio control better than ours. Every lis-
tener pays a fee to the broadcasting companies, and
every set buyer pays a further tax. The money thus
derived is devoted to paytng artists and providing
programs of the highest class."
UNI-FON IS DEDICATED.
The dedication of a new uni-fon, a portable elec-
trical chiming musical instrument, which has just
been acquired by the Toledo Council of Churches,
was held at the out-door meeting sponsored by the
council July 19, at St. Clair and Madison streets,
Toledo, O. Uni-fons are constructed by J. C. Deegan,
Inc., Chicago. They are specially adapted for outdoor
meetings, having a tone quality which is not loud yet
penetrates the noise of traffic.
