Through the Static

Shortly after o'clock our home
was visited by one Of the greatest
calamlties in its history. Stretch the
Imagination as you will, conjure up
all the dread plaques and accidents
you can, paint with the scarlet COL
ors of agony any scene you may so
conjure, and even then you will not
arrive at a satisfactory result. 1t was
a terrible night and we should not
like to live through it again. Our
darling little radio set died, yes,
died, in the third year Of it age.
1t was pitiful to see the little
creature lying there and fighting for
life, pitiful to see the tubes gradual
ly flicker and die, heart rending to
hear the last gasp and signs which
came from its loud speaker and the
cold hand of Death touched first its
aerial leadin, then its condensers
and the tube sockets, until finally the
little set lay cold and still and the
silence told US that all was DER. We
touched the grid leak and there was
no accompanying sound. We grasped
positive and negative leads on the
b batteries and Joined them, but
there was no accompanying blue
spark of life to show that there was
still some hope. We connected the
A battery, but the Grim Reaper had
done his work all too well.
1t was a terrible night. The little
voice we had come to know so well,
was stilled. We attempted half
heartedly to become interested IN
literature, but to no avail. our
thoughts wandered to the radio sell
now dead, and we thought Of the
DAVIS when it was alive and used to
tell us of happenings in far lands
when it used to sing to us, talk 10
us and play sweet music to u.s. Is
there no justice, or Is there?
Our heart is too full, So
That's all for today, thanks
