 There's ono fellow we discovered ast night and believe us were going 0 be at KDkA every time he puts n an appearance. That fellow vas he ono listed on the programs as he Radio Rhymster, That sounded 0 us like a bedtime story of some lnd, but we switched Into its last ,ycning and heard one oF the most talks we can remember ia radio. This fellow was humorous md he talked naturally and easily md l. was possibe 10 hear every word he said, He spoke about scy. 'ral phases of life today, prohibit ion, the navy and others, One re- mark of his we remember, It was 'Join The Navy and become a rum 1 chaser. He rccitcd several bits of | choice poetry, too.

For instance, he sent in a false alarm, hoping to be "pinChed" and man rushed up 10 him and thanked him for being so prompt in calling the fire depart ment when his home was burning, He also went 10 the police station and told the sergeant or whoever was at the desk, that he was a boot logger. He Immediately received an order for two cases. Finally, when he decides he doesn't want to be ar rested a man invites him to din- ner party and then the fellow whose house he saved by sending in the alarm, presents him with S5,000. A policeman then strolls up, notices the money says it's marked and takes the boy to the police station, An interesting little sketch well done.
