THE PATH OF GLORY BY WGYI
RoInping Around
Radio Dial
BY Listener.In-

Explorer Marsh may know much
about the ways Of White indians,
but his familiarity with the habits
Of American children seems to be
very limited.
Inasmuch as he planned to make
his discussion Of the newly dis
covered people into bedtime story,
he should have arranged to come
on the air at not later than seven
o'clock.
Most kiddies are in bed by eight
and the older children in the best
regulated families, IL not preparing
their lessons at $50, have retired
with their younger sisters and
brothers.
Warned Not Believe.
We do not understand why Mr..
Marsh should have been so rude
To US groWnups and refused to-
speak directly to us.
Since the introduction Of radio.
we have heard many statements on
the air that are harder to believe
than those made by the discoverer
Of the White Indians last night.
Moreover. In the heat Of the presi-
Dental race, we rather expect that
|
their parents not to believe every.
thing they hear on the radio.
After all, however, we were glad
to listen to Mr.. Marsh'S story Of
this ancient American race.
And the chant of Iqua Napipi
was the finest offering Of San Bias
music we have ever heard.
Civilization Moves Up.
Iqua-or is it Napipi-interests
us. Four months ago his civiliza-
ton was the civilization Of America
in 1892.
And now that he has Jumped
through almost 500 years in about
sixteen weeks. It would be interest
| ing to know what the crown prince
Of the San Bias thinks is the most
remarkable OF the many remarkable
things he has seen in the civiliza-
ton of 1924. Would he choose the
airplane, the automobile, the sky
scraper or the radio?
Last Nights Conditions.
Reception conditions were almost
as favorable last night as on the
preceding evening.
Unfortunately, however. there
was no performance of "Pinafore''
at KGO to attract uS to the
Pacific Coast.
A rather unusual feature Of the
evening was an impromptu con.
cert at WCAD, Canton, N. Y,
arranged when It was discovered
by Canton listeners that the ether
was in good trim.
CNRO, the Canadian Railways
station at Ottawa, was displaying
more strength than any of the
Canadian stations we have heard.
The Chateau Larier Hotel Or.
chesfra incidentally took its turn
at "Jealous."
HarmOnica Contest.
The entire middle west seemed
to have laid politics aside for an
evening and gone in for the
| harmonica contest at KFNF.

those could puff in q mouth-organ.
In reply to several queries, we
take the opportunity to explain
that Station WCCO is the revived
WLAG at Minneapolis. The former
municipal station has been taken
over by the Washburn Crosby
Company (hence the call letters
and Is known as the Gold Station
