the source Of the voices and music
which had excited the 500 townsfolk
for a week
The operator was greeted like a re-

stories from the excited inhabitants
of Hill. They all agreed that the
music came from WBZ, but no one

Radio Editor:
Please publish the following reply
TO the letter of Mr.. W. T. Perine
appearing in The Star Monday:
My set is not ''Squealadine" or a
regenerative set, as intirnated by Mr..
Perine, but a flv-tube Neutrodyne
which picked up 2LO, London. England i;
2BD, Aberdeen, Scotland, and PIT.
Madrid. Spain. during the international
tests last November and which brings in
California stations regularly.
The interference l have expert
enced from amateur stations could
hardly be from impact excitation due
to the nearness of my set to the
transmitting station, as stated by Nr.
Perlne, because this set was tested
just two blocks from station WRC
and received stations on wave lengths
within 80 meters of that used by
WRC, without any interference what
ever from that powerful station. Also,
there was an amateur transmitting
station just one block from my home
last Winter, and Il did not interfere
in the least with my reception of
other stations.

FIcta Found by Accident.
Mr. Fleta, who made his Metro

l922-1923, was discovered almost by
accident. disciple of the famous
singer. Manuel Azo, heard him and
offered instruction. He studied in
Barcelona, but made his debut in
Trieste. going from there to Rome,
Bologna, Milan. Vienna, Madrid and
the Colon at Buenos Aires. When
he first sang in Madrid he was ac-
claimed as one of the greatest or
Spanish tenors and has since been
chosen to create important roles by
modern composers. Fleta's voice Is
a pure fresh tenor, clear and bell
like in quality and has unusual
power of coloring "a single long note.
Miss Marsh is a pupil of the late
John Walter Hall of New York and
is an example of what may be ac-
complished by an American girl
under an American teacher. Her
f1awless technique, absolute purity OF
her soprano tones, and her perfect
intonation always delight her ap-
preciative listeners.
Quartet Music Rare.
The Flonzaley Quartet il an or
ganization devoted exclusively 70 the
playing of chamber music, especially
the string quartet-two violins, Viola
and ceIlo-which, owing 10 its dell
cacy and the rarity with which d
true ensemble is obtained, is per
haps the least known OF any music
The quartet. organized % years ago
Is famous in American music circles
for its devotion TO artistic ideals and
the perfection of its achievements
The players are Adolfo Betti, first
violin: Alfred Pochon. second; Louis
Bailly, viola, and Ivan d'Archambeau
cello. The quartet binds It's mem
bers not to play in orchestra, or
even solo, so as to preserve the per-
feet unity of effect for which it Is
famous.

Mikes" :"

A mike" in the parlance of the
Post Office Department, is letter
or a parcel so improperly addressed
that it can be neither delivered to
the addressee nor returned to the
sender without special treatment.
This special and entirely unneces-
sary service cost taxpayers of the
United States $1,740,OO0 last year.
How much the slipshod methods of
mailers cost them, their relatives,
friends and the people with whom
they do business in annoyance, dis
appointment and grief is incalculable.
And many letters and packages can
never be delivered or returned.
Americans seem never quite able
to catch up with their tendency to
be careless in little things, a care
lessness which Rudyard Kipling found
as inexplicable as it was noteworthy
on his first trip to these shores, nearly
40 years ago. and which preceding
literary visitors had also mentioned
with more or less justifable acridity.
1t seems to be a besetting national,
if not sin, at least peccadillo, and a
highly expensive one at that.
Postmaster General New is at
tempting to inspire users of the mails
responsible for this financial and
economic loss to a point where they
will, as they easily can, reduce MA
terially the letters and parcels now
going to the dead letter off1ce at
the rate Of 100000 letters and
Evening star., 1925-05-29

S0S,00 parcels a year. He has des-
ignated the week of June 1 as a
Better Mailing week"
The rules for living up tos the
spirit of that week are easy and If
observed conscientiously should re-
suit in better mailing year." Put
return address in the upper left
hand corner of the envelope, not on
the back. Address letters plainly,
leaving out nothing that will help
the carrier In making delivery. Use
strong cord and stout paper on par
cells. Do not be afraid to put the
consignse's address in two different
places. Make 1t a practice to take
one last, lingering look at every
written word before depositing an
article in the mail box or handing
it to a clerk. If in doubt as to the
high visibility and legibility of
handwriting, do not be ashamed to
print out names and addresses.
More than SO per cent of dead let
ters contain not the slightest clue
on the envelope as to the identity of
the sender. In this day of cheaply
printed stationery almost every one
can afford TO provide himself with
envelopes which are an automatic
safeguard against disappointment.
Parcel post labels. with a space for
the sender's name and address, and
already gummed. cost very little.
And without either mechanical aid.
a slight extra effort and bit of
extra pre-mailing scrutiny will make
the postal world spin more merrily.
