World History
' Stories that are History'
' Luther and Ignatius '
A dramatic interlude by HUGH Ross WILLIAMSON
' For who was I, a poor despised monk, at that time, too, looking more like a corpse than a man, that I should set myself against the Pope's authority ?
That monk was a German named
Martin Luther , whose name resounds through history as the founder of the Protestant faith. You will hear today something about his life, and how a Spaniard, Ignatius Loyola , resolved to defend the Church of Rome and strengthen it against his teaching.

H. MUNRO Fox , F.R.S.
(From Midland)
Tigers are striped, leopards spotted ; their markings help to conceal them and this allows them to hunt better. Fallow deer are spotted, zebras striped ; they are thus better hidden from enemies. Many insects look very much like their surroundings in colour, pattern, and shape. The skunk wears a warning livery, and so do many insects which sting or have a nasty taste. On the other hand, there are insects that wear the warning livery yet have no nasty taste or sting ; they just mimic those that have. Rabbits, deer, and other animals have marks on them, and so are easily seen by their fellows. These are some of the odd ways of Nature that Munro Fox wi)l discuss in this talk.

' A Woman Official Sums Up '
Elizabeth S. Fraser
Deputy Controller of the South Eastern Division of the Ministry of Labour
Few series of talks have been more controversial or aired so many points of view as ' Mistress and Maid ', which closes today. Many listeners' letters show that they had not realised how acute the problem is: those are the lucky ones, both the mistresses who have good maids and the maids who have good mistresses.
The series has been useful in clearing the air, for almost everybody has had a chance to speak: both mistress and maid and the person whose job in life it- is to find the one and engage the other. There have been constructive proposals. Today Miss E. S. Fraser , Deputy Controller of the South Eastern Division of the Ministry of Labour, will sum up the series as a whole, and will add some valuable information about training centres for domestic service.

1 Allegro ma non troppo (Awakening of Cheerful Feelings on arriving in the Country). 2 Andante molto moto (By the Brook). 3
' Allegro (Merry Gathering of Villagers). 4 Allegro (Thunder-storm). 5 Allegretto (Shepherd's Song : Happy and Grateful Feelings after the Storm)
Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, in F, ' The Pastoral ', is one of the very few works to which the composer outlined a programme. The music, said Beethoven, was to be considered ' more the expression of sentiment than painting '. Unfortunately, this has caused a great deal of questionable discussion on the rights and wrongs of illustrative music, more often blaming Beethoven, as Sir Donald Tovey points out, ' for leading music into so dangerous a by-path by sacrificing musical form to the demands of his external musical programme. The passage which has given most offence in the symphony is the representation of the cuckoo, the nightingale, and the quail at the end of the slow movement. That passage is a master stroke of pure musical form.'
Berlioz declared that this symphony affected him more deeply than any of the others. He described it as ' an astounding landscape that seems to have been composed by Poussin and painted by Michelangelo '.
