Through he Static

Either something's wrong with our batteries, or the weather was poor. | or we are going stone deaf, one Of those things, because the only sta- tions we could bring in last night with any degree of satisfaction were WBz and WTIC, which are located In the neighboring cities of Spring field and Hartford, reading from left to right, in case your memory needs jogging. There was so confounded much static that It was like trying to listen to the Marine band while battleships located conveniently and l necessarily in some body of water, were giving the salute of q guns to the president or some other notable. The static was a decided success and We appIauded heartily. After we had listened to the static for awhile and had made several not so good attempts to bring in something besides WBz and WIlC, without success, we retired to con- venient corner for a conference of war. Upon our return we delivered several well aimed kicks at the set, causing said set to shiVer and tremble. The static stopped. So did everything else. Gazing boldly into the machine, we found that we had caused the detector tube to die in 1 action, whereby we got rid of some more torrid eXclamations which are l shown in books and magazines by a 1 series of dashes. We placed in an- other tube and what do you think? Think. What do you suppose we received? Answers submitted in clude a shock, hydrophobia, a mis- celIaneOus shower, right hook and a bottle of gjn). Wrong, in all cases. We succeeded in bringing i'll Spring field and Hartford, and the point of it is that we received Springfield at the same time as we did Hartford.
