 far away that the music was no longer audible. Then, when the mu- sic began to come in again, 1t was another band coming. We had a great time there for awhile, until the station faded out and stayed | faded. We estimated that the parade had come to an end or else that the band couldn't band any more, 50 we went elsewhere in our search for ex- ctement or a thrill,
 We experienced either ono of the emotions mentioned in the above paragraph, but we can't make up our mind as 10 which 1t was. Seeking a little light comedy or music we stepped down to WBBM at Chicago, 1 and sure enough, the station was booming away with dance number. The music stopped and the familiar drawl of the announcer was trans lated to mean that someone or other would laugh away the blues of the I audience for five or ten minutes. We settled back, expecting some choice jokes. Instead of that. some bozo started to laugh insanely and he kept 1t up. We listened for about three minutes and then pinched our self. We listened for another minute and then turned the condenser. Can you imagine that? We've heard I 1 tno alHo tho Htn except a laughing contest. He may be laughing yet for all we know.
 
 Charles Diamond, saXophonist, was very clever last evening. He broadcast a program from WBZ. Probably his best number was one he made up himself, "Carlina." Dia- mond has appeared" before at WBz and will probably appear" again in the near future. Ills work was in- n teresting and he showed a startling deftness in lingering.
 James Lyons, basso sang "Asleer in The Deep and "The Rosary }, from WREO, Lansing. Somehow oi other, he didn't satisfy. He has the fault of wandering away from note every now and then, either sharpinl or f1atting horribly.

 WCBD has a new announcer either that or the regular announce has a cold in his head. His voic sounded like one from the morgu last evening and 1t gave us the col shivers. Even the most trivial an a. nouncements called for his deep, sol emn voice explaining in a monotone with now and then slight lift fo emphasis, just what was going 0 out there. Several times we thre' o. off, with difficulty, the inclination { weep-fuidly.
