That band has It's own peculiar style, Il style that makes the orehes- tra popular with the younger gem cration, and there was no doubling that the group was the California Ramblers the minute the first mea- sure was dashed off, "Swanee But tcray" and "Lady Of the Nile" passed along into history without anything to mar reception, But, in the midst or Isn't Sho The Sweetest Thing" along came all intense and spttctul sputcrIng noise that threatened 10 drive us 10 distraction. It kept up for about ten minutes, fading now and then but always returning 10 ru@ volume within q few seconds, ooh, l. made Us so cngry'
 \ pause tor air and then down 10 . GG7 meters, where tenor soloist al- ! trucred us, What he was singing, . we don't knuw but it was q song of a religious nature, sung in an un. | usually raar and liquid voice. Come 70 find og' he station was WGBL al Elyria. ohio, It's only ten watt i outfit anu it came in slick on the . loud tpcaker And marvel of maryols, . we have found the perfect announcer u last, lie deserves medal and n wruarN Of laurel. He has deep voice which Is reproduced clearly. II" pronouuCcS each letter clearly and distinctly and then, after he has given the call letters once, he gives them again, just as slow and just as distinct
 "Ercry Time I Feel The Spirit was the title of a selection rendered from WGBL by a women's quartet rom Lutheran church out that way. The grouped voices made re- ception rather mushy, as did the singing Of a choir later in the pro- gram. Otherwise, reception from the station roHid not have been i'm proved upon.
 Poor old WWAD al Philadelphia sounded like a peanut stand going ! forth 10 war. The generator hum that accompanied the station last night was practically a whistle and the instrumental trio that rendered | several selections, had hard job ] overcoming this hum. although wc enjoyed the efforts Of the musicians, The trio was composed ot violin, cello and piano and "Machela' was one Of the numbers.
 WSAN, the Allentown "Mornng Call" came in with too much pep 70 escape notice. The transmission was excellent and an excellent group or solo numbers was presented. The station came in last night like a i 50o-Watter, although the power out put !s only 10 watts, according 10 the latest radio call book. The pro- grams from that station are rapidly 6yershadowing those handed out from many Of the larger stations, from a point of quality. The station is a small one but it furnishes first class entertainment. and some others woud do well 10 look 10 their laurels. Wal. for the laugh on that.
 We went 10 kDKA for Teabury time and remained there until 10:45 o'clock, when it was necessary for u.s 10 retire (go 10 bed Chit the hay) tbite the mattrcss) because Of the sact that our Iabors ot the preceding Jay had made us extremely ia tgued ttired) Gail done). The Tea bury entertainers took trip across inc United States on the special transcontinental bus, making the ex- cursion in one hour flat. We hop ped onto the spare tire rack in the rear ot the bus and rode with them
 We joined tho party just as if was reaching New York, to the tune c. East Side, West Side" A stop was made at a street corner in order tc hear an Italian fruit yender sing ! "Rigoietto." He sang it. but if that ] had happened in real life the poor fellow would have been arrested Honestly he made an awful lot ot noise for one singer. He got away with t pretty fair, though. Then we went over 10 Chinatown, where somc o' the women Of the party had tc buy some trinkets, while the mer folks were entertained by a Chinese melody. an instrumental number, en titled "A Lady Picking Mulberres. It vas just as exciting as the title.
 Gang-way, Down through Wash , ing'o Circle and We hit Greenwich Village. All ot Us went to vaude
 vile show, where an alleged Englisl . comedian was telling a few likeWis' a.1crcd jokes in excellent Nc7 Yorkose, We thought he was terrible SD We walked out the theater ant !. waited for Inc other people. Ina
