 Into the rippling swing of a fox~trot came a silence that almost seemed to crash:
 Then the announcer's voice: "Airship Shenandoah torn loose from her mooring and adrift in the storm with crew on board. All stations standing by for signals"
 You who missed this: just imagine the sensation of sitting there before an l" "ATwATERKENT," listening,-lis listening-for the calls from the Shenandoah, each proving her still aAoat-still with a fighting chance.

 ATwATER KENTR Receiving Sets meet the demands of the buyer who wants definite and uniform ly dependable results; distance, minimum of interference, vol- ume and clear reproduction.

INFORM ARTISTS
 WHEN PLEASED
Good Word Goes Long Way Toward Program
 Improvement

Radio devotees can always help the cause by letting artists and broad casters know that their efforts are ap- preciated. Just a postal card may go long way toward increasing the char acter and quality of entertainments sent through the air.
 The problem of who is going to pay for broadcasting often comes up. Up to the present time no one seems to have a good solution in mind other than taxing the sale of radio apparatus. This method will tax the newcomer but will not touch the man who is now

nightly enjoying concerts over the air. The statoions now in operation are being supported by various industries for the purpose of indirectly adver- tising their name and creating good will for their product or organization through the medium of providing high grade entertainment for their radio audience.
 The stations now in operation are pear before the m;crophone generally do so without pay and without ap- plause from an invisible audience. Their efforts are too frequently taken for granted by the average listener who is quick to criticise and slow to praise. Your expense in connection with the wonderful entertainment you re- ceive is very small. To encourage the studio directors and the artists who are providing your entertainment why not sit down and write them a letter or a card of appreciation once a week? It is the only way in which they can tell whether their efforts are in the right direction and whether or not they are presenting the type of a program that you like to hear.

MISS BRADLEY HONORED WITH GIFT SHOWER

A pretty pre-nupital affair planned in compliment to Miss Ellen Bradley, whose marriage to MT. Gasque Cooper took place Saturday morning, was a miscellaneous shower at the home of Miss Anna Ringer Thursday evening. Quantities of garden flowers adorned the home for the occasion. Halloween decorations were also used and a large white wedding bell hung in the center of the living room. The punch bowl was presided over by Mrs. J. c. Ringer. Attractive cards were given to each guest, which were generally filled with good wishes for the bride. Several piano selections were rendered by Mrs. George Schoettlin and a vocal selection by Miss Bessie Hairless. A musical contest was also enjoyed, Mrs. Lorean Askew win ming the prize.
 A unique feature of the evening was that of Miss Bessie Hairless, who ap- peared as charming witch, bearing an immense pumpkin filled with gifts. Miss Anna Ringer assisted the bride in Op- ening the many parcels containing the beautiful and useful gifts. Every guest was invited to draw from the House of Favors," each favor having card | foretelling some future event.
 Later in the evening delightful ice course was served to the following Miss Ellen Bradley, Mrs. Harriet Bradley, Mrs. Forest Downs, Mrs. Will liam Caughlin, Mrs. E. Waddell, Miss Annie Hairless, Miss Flossie Upchurch
