For nearly 500 years the traditions of this organization have been preserved and their ideas held inviolate. Under the care and tutelage of the State, their sole purpose for existence has been to sing fine music and operate a religious selections, without professionalism or a need for glory.
The members of the Saengerkanken live together in the ancient imperial castle, the Vienna Hofburg, in whose corridors the Hapsburg royalty once tread. Here the boys work and study, eat play, and sleep. They pay nothing
It is the dream of countless thousands of Austrian boys to be invited to join the Saengerkabran. But only 40 are chosen after rigid competitions, and these are then housed in the cattle.
When their voices change, the chair boys are kept for three years during which time they are assigned household duties and the future employment is secured for them.
In their costumes of white wigs and curly chignons, these children have sung before crowned heads and presidents of nations. Recently they sang in the Vatican before Pope Pius XI who awarded them a parchment testimonial proclaiming their voices "so闪亮-like sweet, like angel voices in paradise."
Every year they are invited to sing with the entire Vienna State Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. Such composers as Haydn, Schubert, Mozart have received musical training from this Saengerkahn institution.

Scientists to Signal Mars
Most Powerful Light' and Morse Code Messages to be Used
London, Nov. 15—(UP)—A little group of British scientists, directing the most powerful beam of light ever generated, may soon make the first "practical" attempt to signal the distant planet of Mars.
The leaders in the experiment disclosed today, that they hope soon to erect special equipment on the lofty summit of the Jungfrau, in Switzerland, in an effort to establish interplanetary communication for the first time.
The idea is to send the intense beam of light, and to give Morse code messages to the heavens, in the hope of attracting attention from Mars and receiving a reply if there is intelligent life on the planet.
The light, which will be the most powerful ever generated, would have to travel 34,000,000 miles to get to Mars.
