' Farmers of the Andean Plateaus'
LYDIA G. SEWELL
The great mountain range of the Andes runs the whole length of South America, but today you are to hear especially of that part of it that lies around Lake Titicaca , marked on your map north-west of Bolivia and south-east of Peru, more or less where Bolivia curves like a shoulder joint into the trunk of Brazil.
The Andes here are known as the Central Andes. And today Miss Lydia G. Sewell is to speak of the altitude of these snow-capped mountains ; of the contrast between the eastern and and western slopes; of wind, rain, and storm ; of the source of the rivers ; of mineral wealth; of the need for irrigation and for terraces; of the plateaus.
Here old Spanish families are to be found, and Indians. The land is divided up, often by lot; the headman and the priest having their lots worked for them. Here barley, carried to the threshing floor from the surrounding fields, is trodden out by oxen and then winnowed by the wind on the flat floor of the mountain basin, beneath the terraced mountain slopes, dark at the foot with eucalyptus trees.

' Bird Song in May'
ERIC PARKER
Every day the hedgerow is putting out its covering, the grass is growing lush on bank and meadow, the deciduous tree assuming the density of the evergreen, and May-time generally making the nests of song birds more difficult to find.
The bird chorus of joy in the love of living and in the plenty around has been swelled by the migrants in our midst. The blackcap whose song is as sweet as any ; the whitethroat who sings on the wing, the grasshopper lark chirping at night after the nightingale is silent; all can be heard in May. Of the songs of our many song-birds Eric Parker will talk to you this afternoon.

Part I: Forces that Mould our Lives
4 ' Institutions '
H. A. Mess , Ph.D.
This evening, in his fourth talk, Dr. H. A. Mess takes for his subject the power of institutions as one of the forces that mould our lives. He will tell listeners what social scientists mean by an ' institution ' and give some examples, such as marriage, war, slavery, Christmas. He will point out what is meant by a ' system '--capital system, party system, and so forth. And he will discuss how institutions coerce us.
He will show that institutions are tenacious of existence, but they have beginnings and may have endings. The institution of war, he will argue, is neither primitive nor universal. Institutions are sometimes converted to new uses.

Led by LAURANCE TURNER
Conducted by FRANK BRIDGE
The first movement of this ' Capriccio Espagnol ' is an Alborado, a lively popular Spanish dance usually played on bagpipes with side-drum accompaniment. The second movement consists of four variations on a soft, languorous tune heard first on the horns over a string accompaniment.
The third movement is another version of the Alborado, which, although more or less the same in thematic material, is provided with a new orchestral dressing. The fourth movement is is a ' guitar song ' of gypsy character in the form of a series of cadenzas for (a) horns, trumpets, and side-drums, (b) violin, (c) flute, (d) clarinet, (e) oboe, (f) harp. After these cadenzas the tempo and rhythm become wild and abandoned and the music is worked up by the full orchestra to a fine climax, which leads straight into the fifth movement, an Asturian Fandango, a brilliant dance in triple time complete with castanets and guitar effects.
