| possible to hear entlre selectohS from anywhere without cutting the volume away down so that tho noise was somewhat decreased and music came in somewhat better The past few nights have been hum-dingers, there's no doubt about that,
 
 One fan phoned in 10 the office this morning to say that he has been troubled with deafcnng static since last Friday evening. He has made sure that his set is all right, but just as soon as darkness ar rlves the noise begins, He Is prac- tically at his wits end. There Is no l doubt that a great deal Of his trou- ble is caused by interference Of some sort, but 1t Is our opinion that "Charlcy Morse" is being received In that locality with great clarity,
 The Roamcrs orchestra of this city went on the air from WTlC last night, presenting an hour of dance music and solos, all of which were well received. A tendency on the part of the trumpet player to speed up the time was noticed at certain per iods, but, on the whole the program was well presented.
 Harry Bonney of Linwood street presented several numbers accom- ranied by the orchestra, and he also sang Sing Me To Sleep" as a bari tone solo. His voice is easy to listen to and his part of the program could not have been improved upon.
 Michael Callaberia, accordion SO loist with the orchestra, presented several numbers in the course of the evening. He is clever and the music came through clearly. Among the numbers rendered by the orchestra were "I'll See You In My Dreams v Because They All Love You," Seal It With a Kiss" ByeBye Baby "Oh, How l Love My Darling and "Wherc's My Sweetie Hiding
 
 Organ recitals will be an instant success at WTIC If last nights pro gram from the Austin Organ com pany's studio can be taken as a bar ometer, The music came in with great volume. J. r. Champ was at the console.
 The remainder of WTlC program consister of solos. John Kidney, ten or. rendered a number of request se- lections, among them Indian Love Songs" Edgar L. Brown, baritone presented II Love You" and Mar ' cheta." and Fred Murphy, Violinist came through with Angels Sere- made" and "Radiance in Your Eyes, the entire program being commend able. although we were not partic- ularly in the mood last night, due tc the efforts of Charley" We would have liked to hear a description or . lynching or something else on the same order.
 ) We heard nothing of interest a1tel Hartford signed off. except, perhaps the program of dance music iron wac. WIZ, WBZ. and WGI. Thl1 n program was presented by the Meye Davis Le Paradis band, playing Il Washington, and we were, in a mea \ sure, cheered up by the manner Il l which the program came through
 This band, employing no brass sec
 tlon. is rated as one Of the best ] / the business. The Waters of Nm :. netonka" and Tn Shadowland" wer
 rendered while we listened in, s A fan has written to this d" fl partment in reference to outside m |, reference. He is Of the opinion tha ,r great deal of interference ] Q caused by electrical appliances. Tn ,pp manner in which he found the dis i, turbance which made his evening 70 unenjoyabe is here related. If q # radio troubles could be settled a !, quickly, how happy this WorI 70 WOulQ pc. A pOl llOH VI tIlS 4~''NA ~ .e lows;
 ~, While considering the possihI .n causes (of the interfcrcncc) such q ,s grounded lighting wires, sparkin 10 motors, poorly made domestic cleo
 trical appliances, etc, it occorred
 me that we had in our own home ,t new electric heating pad, which ha M been placed in operation for the fir' M time about the middle of Dccembe ,b or about the time when the dl' in turbance was first reported. Flu es ther, the pad was not giving satL il faction, tending to heat excessive sa during the night, and becoming ho uncomfortable as to waken the pc
 son using it. The answer was simp
 enough-due to poor design, U he thermostat contact sparkcd exSe ,a+ siyely and eventually stuck. Wn' ro they were operating properly, Il O. spark was being radiated to the e sa tire neighborhood over the electl ,b light wires. When they stuck, a. radio disturbance occurred, but | to unfortunate patient using the p
 was given an unexpected toastir
 Experiment proved the corre' m ness of the theory, and steps we nd taken to get our impromptu broa * casting station off the air at on hn This evening, and several cvenir or lately, however, l have been both' bo cd by a similar disturbance, ori ,s- mating somewhere in our neighb'
 hood, hence my rush to print. T
 duration of the disturbance has ia ually been only few minutes, 10 nq enough, however, 10 make 1t nee oro sary to turn off the loud speaker a
