on the higher waves. Some of the lower wave longth stations were mixed up, but, on the whole 1t was good night
 Our old favorite, WTAM, fur nishcd our entertainment from 10 o'clock Saturday night until nearly l o'clock the next morning, The Coo-Coo club was in session and the usual round of gaiety was on the air, Art Hershl;e was even more ioNial than usual, but his iovially ran more to loud and hearty laughs than to wise cracks. The station faded at times.
 One interesting feature was fur nished by the k. and w. banjo trio. This group played several selections Of its own composition and played them well. Ev Jones jumped about gayly with several piano solos and the orchestra player every song from 1920 to the present day, apparently, Along about ll:30 we we spent our time about equally between waking and sleeping and finally dropped off into oblivion, only to awaken with start, just as the orchestra was playing and singing their good night song. WTAM goes on the air with the Coo-Coo club program at 10 o'clock, eastern daylight saving time, every Saturday night. Tho program continues until ! o'clock every Sun day morning.
 Among other things we heard WAS a hand concert from KDkA. where the WcstnEh band entertained. We didn't take any notes on the aC- fair, since it was no different than any of the other concerts that organ izaton has presented. The Westing- house band is one Of the best on the air and 1t can bc depended upon 10 offer the best in martial music. Yesterday afternoon we heard the Venetian Serenaders from WDWF, IS as our custam on Sundays. Pa rade Of The Wooden Soldiers" sounl- d great after a lapse Of nearly year. Three selections from "The Bohemian Girl' were listed on the program, T Dreamt l Dwelt in Marble Halls" Heart Bowed Down" and "You'u Remember Me" Music Of the highest order is the speciality of the Sercnaders and not once have they fallen down on se- lection since they have been on inc air, Their weekly programs are 10 be looked for1ard 10 and those fans who don't tune in on the Providence station miss one Of the bright spots in Sunday programs.
 A saXophone solo hy someone whose name We didn't hear came in clear and full toned. This number was "SaxonclIa,' apparently one of Rudy Weidoefts selections. The musician who played it yesterday did so with as much ease as If 1t had been one of the first exercises in fin snring. Then came The Rosary" and Loves old Sweet Song" by the Serenaders.
 Chicago, May l1-Tests a radio casting from an airpane, which were made for the first time without the use of generator at inc Great Lakes naval training station near here yest erday, brought response from several stations, but were pro- nounccd unsatisfactory because the signals failed to carry the minimum distance Of T50 miles set for the tests. The radio signals were sent on a wave length of 37 meters from plane pilotod by Chief Boatswain Green and Karl F.. Hassell. The equipment used was the first model O. the transmittcr planned for use on the MacMillan polar expedition. this summer. Generators previously used in operating the equipment i'd ! q bfFIl Il lN'lt ny W Alll LII OuE II inc propellers. Operation with dry cell batteries, such as those used to- day. would enable radio communi- cation even though the aviator was forced 10 land.
