NIL surveying his troops at Valley
Forge, with one OF the latest model
surveying instruments. Yes, boys,
there was quite a bit OF static last
evening" That expression. an orig
inal one, has been passed down from
generation to generation, until Its
originality has been Of great historic
value. In spite Of the static. stations
came In we'll and conditions, by
reason OF this latter fact, were fair.
New York broadcasters were prom
inent with Chicago running a close
second. We couldn't accomplish
much distance beyond the usual run
OF Atlanta and Florida stations,
which seem almost like locals around
this town. which is so laughingly
known as THE Hardware City"
One feature of WIS program last
evening was talk on current Moth
ings by Judge, Junior. and We defy
you to guess what humorous publ
cation he was representing. Judge,
Junior, firmly believes he is a man
Of the world educated In Europe,
and a genuine rounder. He talks
lightly OF his gay parties and calls
all the famous play producers by
their first names. to say nothing of
the prominent actors and song
writer's. Jolly" was one OF his IA
Vorite words and If anyone can think
OF anything more senseless to talk
about than the new slang express
sions, the new cocktail connections
and the latest fads and the latest
ukulels chords. that person is
straightaway awarded handsome
ly typewriter marble slab. He was
breezy sort of person and 1t is pos
sible that many people liked him. in
fact we found ourself becoming In
terested In his talk before his time
was up. We can talk about people
and use their first names, too. Take
O look: Angelo, or we should say
Mayor Paonessa; Ed, or rather SEN
ator Edward +. Hall; Jack or we
should say Corporation Counsel

November Stars" was the subject
OF an interesting talk from VITO by
Prof. Frederick Slocum OF Wesleyan
University. He described the heav-
ems during the month OF November
and told some interesting facts about
the origin OF the names Of the con-
sto,lations visible during the next
few weeks. He also talked somewhat
about meteors After hearing his
talk we spent the rest Of the night
hanging tightly to our chair, since
Professor Slocum made the remark
that the earth is travelling through
space at the rate OF IS miles a sec
ond.
