ites-VIII, Lorna Dcone ,' by R. D. Elackmore
TODAY Miss Ann Spice will talk of a book that has kept its place in the favour of the reading public much better than some of those which she has previously discussed. ' 'Lorna Dcone '. was. published in 1869 and its charm has not waned since ; in fact, it is safe to say that its characters-the delightful Lorna and her simple John Ridd , the subtle Counsellor and the savage Carver, bold Tom Faggus and his faithful Winnie-and its unique settings on the moors, are very nearly as well known now as they were fifty years ago.

Gramophone Recital, arranged by Mr.

WATER-DIVINING is one of the superstitions that have justified themselves and developed into sciences. The man with the' hazel twig which gives such clear indication of the presence of subterranean water is known throughout the countryside. Serious business firms do not now disdain to call in the services of the professional diviners, of whom Mr. Tompkins is one. Listeners who remember his previous talk from London some time ago will be glad to hear more of his interesting lore this evening.

BEETHOVEN'S SONGS
Sung by GEORGE PARKER (Baritone)

Dick Turpin was hanged at York in 1739, and it was not until eighty years later that John McAdam published his famous book on roads, which made his name synonymous with good road-paving for a century more. Indeed it is only during the last few years that concrete and such materials have begun to replace on main roads the macadam which in years of lighter traffic had served Britain so well. When Turpin rode to York asphalt and macadam and wood-blocks were unknown ; cobbles or granite setts were the rule in towns, and an unpredictable natural product encountered the man who ventured off the turnpike roads, outside. It was no uncommon event then for men and horses alike to become completely enmixed. Mr. Beales, who gives this talk on the roads of England two centuries ago, is well known as a lecturer at the London School of Economics and to the W.E.A.

For the artistic education of a nation it is not enough to provide museums; they must be made readily accessible and attractive to ordinary people. Sir Robert Witt has every right to talk on this subject, for nobody in this country has done more to make pictures accessible to those who want to see them, without being art students in the technical sense. Besides being a Trustee of the National Gallery and of the Tate, and Chairman of the National Art-Collections Fund, and the National Loan Collection Trust, he is a member of the present Royal Commission on our national museums and galleries. He also runs a valuable museum of reproductions at his own house in Portman Square.
