talk and told how you could join the
Royal Order of Radio Bugs. All you
have to do is to get five boys to-
gether and do a good deed and send
for a charter and that's alt The
charter has the official song of the
Radio Bug club m everything Day
after tomorrow night is the night OF
the next Radio bug program from
Kansas City, tune in to WIIB or
WIRE Happy Bunch"
Station WDAF says that they are
the enemies OF sleep but radio as a
whole Is an enemy to something more
serious to the bugs than that. Radio
is an enemy of school This Is prov
ing true every day, and If some OF
the bugs don't be careful they will
not have to bother about radio any
more as the O. NJ. will Just say, mo
more radio" and the fires out.
Whose fault is 1t? There are three
things involved, school. radio. and
yourself WELL you know it isn't
the schools fault and you know II
isn't the radios fault and there is
one thing sure, 1t is somebody's
fault so it must be your fault. NOW
for a way to correct this fault who's
we have located by the process of
elimination. The way to keep radio
from interfering with your studies
is to leave 1t until you have finished
studying, That is the only rule you
need to follow. II You have gotten
your lessons then you can listen IN
all you want to. The reason didn't
say anything about when to STOP
is because / know that you Will

, Get plenty Of listening In done this
week of holidays and then after
school starts again kind O. go easy on
the radio as you know the exams
will not be far off and If you fail
on them you will probably have no
radio at all.
v Well. fellows, tomorrow's-the day.
| Tonight's the night! Looks like we
are going to have a radio Christmas.
! Listen fellows be sure to listen to-
night and get the benefit OF all the
Christmas programs that are to be
given. Also. tomorrow night. And In

old ether with best programs ever

/ start on vacuum tube instead OF
buytng. am indeed glad to see them
have so much ambition and also SO
much confidence in themselves, but
/ would like tic say for their beneIlt

| to try this as it Is practically I'M
POSSIBLE. without all the proper equip
ment and skill. If you can get the
material for one of these tubes wi1h-
out any cost. then it will do you
! much good to experiment, but as Tar
as the use of this tusse is concerned,

will do them no GOOD.
