passed James Dawson on the street the other day, and:
 "Oh, mani I heard 10 stations last night, only using the detector." he told me as we crossed the street to a place where I got out little book and took down some notes on his set He said that he had moved his set downstairs and now his Head in was as long as his aerial. "I have got a 'two-step' now" ho told me, but tho static is so bad now that I nearly always just use the detector which l was using last night" Upon being asked who he heard he said: "Oh, I got in W II B. the Sweeney Auto school fin Kansas City and W H A s in Louisville and the At lanta Journal, W s B; and I heard " W J. that is Detroit News, and l K l. B; you can look that up, as have forgotten where 1t Is. I nearly forgot to tell you that heard K D k A-first time I have heard him in a l long time. I heard that Houston sta tion; what is that called? Oh, I 1 know, it was W D Y, and then l got in w A A c and that Is ninei there Is one more"
 As I had been listening the same night and heard W O s very loud I thought perhaps he heard them also. How about Jefferson City, Mo-" I
 
 doubtful, but when l said the call, "w o s." he said that was the one. "Iow is that for one night, fel- lows7 That is just one tube, too" You all know c. W. Gillian (old D CD.

 Gee, fel1owsi It looks like we are getting back to the old radio season right now. Static hasn't given up yet and looks like 1t is hanging on for dear life, but 1t will give up soon. Don't worry. you will be able to use that old amplifier yet with out the static hurting your ears.
 Now while the weather isn't so good you hear the same line of sta- tions almost every night you listen In, but as soon as 1t gets cold, which I wish 1t would hurry up and do, you | will hear a new station every night from-from, well. it's no telling where from, because there are so many of them. Just wait and see if that isn't right.
