for good. We want to be in at the finish, just to see what fun is had by the fellow who laughs last,
 Now for last night. Conditions could not have been improved upon to any great extent. There was vol ume galore and even between tho hours of Q and o'clock, stations came in double fortissimo. Distant stations came in last night and little trouble was experienced in finding hroadcasters west Of Chicago. No static and little electrical interfer- cnce made the night an ideal one.
 WTlC scored again, The program Of classical music was excellent, con- sidering the fact that WLS was steaming away in the background just rarin' to go. The whistle from this station, which was mixed up in WrIC's broadcast, gave the im- | pression that someone was roasting peanuts at the Travellers studio. The program from the latter station, however, was loud enough to drown out the whistle most of the time.
 We had expected something un- usual from Worthy Hills orchestra | which broadcast from WTIC at 9:30 o'clock, but we were not prepared for what we heard. Carried away by the music is no word to express our feelings. We were literally sand Jagged and kidnapped as a result of the melodious tone arrangements and unusual combinations which toatod into the atmosphere.
 The orchestra opened with "A Garden in Sweden" and from that time until the end Of the program at 10:S0 o'clock. we sat listening in rapt attention 10 the many instru- mental facts and fancies which were presented for the approval oi radio fans. Song of India" a num- Der which calls for delicate sense of music, was child's play for that band, and what the members of the orchestra didn't do 10 the weird har- monies of that well known and usually classical number wasn't worth doing,
 A touch Of the California Ramb- lers, with a brass saxophone fully as l Gat tig fF 1t Fp ne NN.1at tnh hr Ramblers are justly famous, added greatly 10 the charm of Me and The Boy Friend" and "Fascnating Rhythm" Throughout the program the trumpet could be heard in tho 7 background, throwing around some of the choicest notes we have heard from one of those instruments ) "Lanky" CrosSfeld fairly ripped the - cymbal from the bass drum at times 7 and all members of the band acted } intermission at a big dance, ant were full of pep. We liked the band but lack Of space forbids us to say more.
 An unusual visitor to our set ar. : rived last night with much gusto or che of the lower wave lengths. This was WPAJ at New Haven, which station we have had just twice , counting last nights reception. Sev. , but other stations "to the right O. them" and stations Ito the left O. B them" interfered considerably.
 We brought in two new stations
 WQAN at Scranton, Pennsylvania l and KFRU at Tulsa, Oklahoma, t ] say nothing of CkCO at Ottawa - Canada. Scranton was broadcastinI f lance music with a decided list t' 2 starboard. KFRU faded consider ' ably. but we heard trio broadcast l ing a variety of selections, said tri, being made up apparently of violin ] harmonica and piano. CKCO wa was putting out good grand 0
 dance music, very quietly 10 be sure
 It was Philadelphia Night a
 WMBF, Miami Beach. The announ
 cer was up to his usual form and h
 seemed 10 feel just as kindly towar
 the residents Of the Quaker City a
 he did when he was addressing Il
 New Englanders some time ago. Lot
 of snap, lots Of pep and, above al
 lots of interest in what he is sayin
 and in those to whom he is talking
 That's what makes us like him.
