RADIO BROTHERS
 UNDER THE SKIN
Judge Joins Jerry To
 Tune In On The Coast

The older order is changing and if any one doubts this they should consider the case of Jerry Sullivan of West Thirtieth street, New York City. Now Jerry is a radio fan. He has made, with his own hands, every kind of "dyne" or "flex" that the radio bugs could con- jure up and put into diagram form for newspaper consumption. Jerry came home the other night and found his wife, Anna, playing the old family photograph and there was ever so many good things ''on the air" at that very minute. The old photograph was singing its swan song. It was the dying gurgle of the canned music box. It was the un- announced finish of the well-worn disks. Jerry told his "missus" that he could not stand for anything so out of date as photograph in his home and straightway he threw the machine and a large flock of old records out of the win dow, where they dropped six stories to the paved street. Magistrate McAndrew. of the night court, also a radio fan, lis tened to the battling Sullivans. You should have carried the photograph down stairs," said the judge, "and put it in the ash can." Jerry cleared his throat and began telling the judge how easy his new machine brought in ts'KFI" and other distant points and the judge said: 'Jerry, you go over home and tune in on the coast and if it is clear reception there will be no fine-Tll be over as soon as court adjourns." Radio makes 'em brothers under the skin. .-l

Secre- tary of the Navy Wilbur; Secretary of War Weeks, United States Senator George Wharton Pepper of -x Pennsyl- vania, Theodore Roosevelt and others equally prominent in the political world have spoken from the newest extension of the Grebe broadcaster All speakers know they are limited to ten minutes and MT. Grebe gets some of the political stars to get their message over in less time. One noticeable instance. was Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania. The Keystone State Senator gave talk to boys. The address rippled and had springs in it and yet it lasted but seven minutes. Needless to say this short address pulled hundreds of applause cards and letters.
