Through fife Static

Conditions suffered a relapse last
 evening with the result that we heard just as much as we have been
 hearing for the past several weeks,
 with the exception Of Monday night.
 It's quite discouraging, We thought
 that last eYGnlngAwas going to be
 another hum-dinger. but we were
 fooled completely. There was mediocre volume and. although wa | heard Chicago and Cincinnati sta tons, reception was nothing 10 leep
 one up until after midnight logging
 stations on the Pacific coast. There
 was some static, although this would
 not have bothered to any extent, if
 volume had been up to snuff.
 The fan who stayed with WIZ last
 evening should have been satisfied
 Everything from talks 10 dance, mu- sic was offered and the entire pro
 gram contained as much variety as
 was possible. Frank kimball, tenor
 offered q group of operatic selce- tions. His voice, while not the best
 we have heard, took every note clearly and easily. Then came a talk
 by David Lawrence from Washing ton. WRC booked up with WIZ and MT. Lawrence talked about Keep ing The Nation Posted; a New De- velopment in Journalism" His talk dealt with the United States Daily, the only newspaper of its kind in America. IL gives the full text Of supreme court doings and also a fuA account of what Is going on in all the other governmental departments, Very good. Then came Now anu Then" in which Ray Perkins pre- scented Grace and Robbie Perkins in a group Of songs, old and new. This harmony was worth while and We enjoyed Has Anybody Seen Kelly" You Beautiful Doll" "Tipperary" and others. There was piano, banjo and ukulele accompaniment for the numbers. Ray proved to be rather versatile chap. For some numbers he played the piano in accompanying the girls and at other times he took a shot at the banjo or ukulele. He even stepped in and sang a while himself, The music was light and the program informalF
 For those who enjoy classical music well presented, there seems 10 be no better group than the Goldosi Trio which appears at WBZ each week. This trio is made up of violin. piano and cello, and the selections sare played with a fine understand ing Of the themes. Solos and trio numbers are offered and we heard q highly interesting group last eve ming. WBZ came through pretty fair.
 We heard several musical saw solos as presented by Walter Scott from MEAN. Providence. This sta ton was, badly mixed up with some other broadcaster at time and then again there was a vague snapping and cracking on various occasions. We enjoyed the soft, echoing tone of the saw, and Mir. Scott proved to be accomplished in the art of playing it. "A1l Alone" and Wonderful One" were among the selections.
 A chop suey mixture came through from WAR, Providence, while the Eureka entertainers were on the air. Everything from On ward Christian Soldiers" to "Who," was presented, although we must admit that the music was WELL presented. A quartet sang Camp ing Down in Tennessee" and then an instrumental selection, with banjo and piano accepting the honors, of fered "Who" with vocal chorus. The quartet came back with "Onward, Christian Soldiers" which was well done, although rather out of place. The music came in clear and the station faded not at all. Later. whistle crept into the proceedings and stayed there. We left, mouthing vile oaths.
 WRNY, New York. failed to let us in on the simultaneous broadcast of an organ recital and an orches- tral concert from points four miles distant from each other. The music 1 was to have been synchronized, but ! we don't know whether or not ii was. Later in the evening, the sta tion came in all over the place, ! bursting through with volume un- expected. Louise Schwartz sang "The Radio Widow"
 We brought the evening to a close 1 while listening to Jawdge Olsen and l his Pennsylvania Music from WIZ. The band was up 10 it's usual tricks and we had the pleasure of hearing l Mir. Frye on several occasions. Twoj new crazy numbers were intro-
