Through The Static

All others-static! That tells the story of last night.
 The noise was not confined to the hours of darkness. All day the static was terrific and at times during the afternoon it was worse than we have ever heard it at night. The crashes would come and would be prolonged for a minute or two at time. To- ward o'clock the noise died away for awhile and we thought we might have a good evening, but from o'clock on there was a steady roar, which affected even the usually i'm mune Springfield. We signed off about o'clock and hit the hay for much needed rest. Other fans would have done well to do the same thing, but while We were trying to listen in we could hear whistles from l regenerative sets, whose operators had discarded all rules of courtesy and had let the old tubes reradiate in an effort to bring In some station. We don't blame them in the least. But those fellows would have been much better off and would have saved themselves much nervous strain If they had just shut off the current and gone 10 bed or started to read or something. There's noth- | ing like continuous static for shat tering one's nerves in peace-time. Uncle Bill was at WBZ last even ing for his weekly discourse on cur rent events and other interesting matters. Uncle Bills talk was large 1 ly swamped by static, but we learned | that he was talking about Paul Re- we're and his ride, Paul's antecedents and his decendants. We were sorry to have missed his talk, but there was nothing else to do. Once in a while we could make out what he was saying. His voice could be heard at all times, but somehow the sounds l didn't make sense, considering the
 bombardment. Apparently the Brit
 ish had already arrived, because the l cannon shots nearly wrecked the
 window panes in our modest habita-
 ton.

Do your Christmas shopping early.

The next station we hit was WBZ at Springfield, Massachusetts, broadcasting on a wave length of 333.S meters. The Boston University glee club presented several numbers, the names of which haven't reached us yet, although we are waiting. One Of them was Norwegian Slumber Song," or it might have been Nor wegian Lumber Song" Another was Men of Herrick." That might have been something else, too, The voice of the announcer sounded as If he were talking over high board fence.

"A Merry Little Song" was pre- scented on the program during the Dry Slitz Hour Of Music from KDKA. What this song was we don't know. We had the satisfaction Of hearing the announcer making the crack about what it would be, but we were denied the pleasure of hearing the promise fulfilled. We got back at them, though. We heard the baseball scores announced and we got quite a thrill out Of 1t. Imagine it, baseball scores!

splendid performance given last
night by Lewis and Lewis, in addi-

Miss Lewis's body.
johnny Lewis is also a wrestler

FIRE PROTECTION
ASSURED TOWN
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Some Members Will Have
to FOregO Pleasure
Annual Ball

While hundreds of valley residents
will be enjoying themselves at the
Sixteenth Annual ball of the FL
Centre fire department in the high
school gymnasium tomorrow night,
a half dozen or more members of
the department will be handling
heavy grouchcs at fire headquart-
crs, for they will not be able to at
tend their own dance.
The unlucky members are those
who have been detailed to remain
at headquarters, in order to protect
the city in ease there should be Il
fire alarm during the dance. Fur
thcr protection will be afforded the
city by having one piece of appara-
tus at the high school with the cars
of the fircmen parked alongside,
so that they can make a quick get
away in case an alarm should sound
Every member of the department
is praying that history will not re-
peat itself, as last year, there were
three alarms of fire the night of
the dance, the last one just an hour
before the ball was to be opened.
Through strenuous work, the fire
men were able to clean up and get
into their dress uniforms in time
for the occasion.
Regarding this years Egyptian

dent it is going to be the best dance
ever given in Imperial Valley. This
afternoon Robert f. Lee, who has
been designing scenery for the Occa-

of scenery, which he has been con
structing at his home in DiXicland,
and tonight a detail of firemen will

form the bare walls of the gymna-
SUM into Il little bit OF old Egypt.

without extra charge. "Seve'

the program, which is a guarantee
that it will be well taken care of.
Several former members of the
fire department are expected from

That's what you pay each ,year-parely

The only difference between the two is
that of price. The western product costs less
for two reasons: First, volume production.
Second, low freight rates.
